Other features of the new styles,
that can be gathered from any repre-
sentative showing, reveal that high
shoes continue to be very high as COM
pared to high shoes of few seasons
ago. The fact that skirts have been
heightened little has made no differ
ence. The very high shoe Is more trim
than the moderately high shoe and
more practical. The uppers in these
shoes are Of cloth just as often as OF
kid. AS fine kid is not the sort Of
leather that Is needed In the army
there is no reason why the very high
shoe should not be worn with clear
conscience. But cloth tops are just as
attractive and just as desirable as the
kid and maybe little easier to keep
clean.
Oxfords and slippers will divide

sports wear this summer. In all Of

not to the length of discomfort. Con-

MiSSOuri-iSmS.

Missouri is the first saddle. horse
state in the whole world J. winning
in 1917 the International horse
honors from Kentucky and all other
state and interstate competitors
Missouri won more blue ribbons
and prizes in 1917 on live stock
and held more successful public
stock shows and sales of pure bred
high grade livestock than any other
of the states and topped the great
fat stock markets oftener.
Missouri is the third state for
pork production, having in 1917
more hogs on hands than the total
of % other states, and is thirteenth
in sheep and sixth in grand total
number of all kinds of live stock.
Resplendent in opportunity. with
10 million idle acres awaiting the
moulding hand of the home-maker,
Missouri stands with a thousand
gates of welcome open wide to
every land and country.
Missouri has more apple trees
than any other state in the Union,
and the Missouri apple is first in
flavor and quality. compared to the
apples and other fruits of every
nation. Missouri was third in
apple production in 1917.
Missouri is becoming a diary

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-06-21
Back The Government

Few people, indeed. in this country
now fail to realize that we are fight
ing brutal, relentless enemy. Thr
indictment against the Hun grows
stronger every day. He is absolute
ly devoid of pity or chivalry. An
American correspondent reports
conversation with a crippled British
officer who, after a long stay in
German prison pens. had been eX-
changed.
The officer told of men so feeble
from lack of food and bad conditions
as to be able scarcely to stand being
forced TO work at the point of the
bayonet until they dropped from
sheer weakness; of badly set gun
fractured arms and legs; of soldiers
buried to the accompaniment of the
jeers of German soldiers; of the
long journeys of the badly wounded
without relief of dressings, food, or
water; of wounded prisoners march
to exhaustion and then shot down
like dogs when they no longer could
walk; of prisoners put into camps
where typhus ragged.
This is the kind of enemy we are
fighting, and this is why all of us
must get down and put every BIZ
of our strength back of the Govern
ment. For one thing, we must buy
only those things necessary to
maintain ourselves in the most
efficient condition. That will give
the Government more labor and
materials for war purposes. And
then with our savings we must buy
War Savings Stamps. That will
give the Government current funds
with which to use labor and materi,
ais in the successful prosecution of
the war. We must do as President
Wilson asks US to do in hismessage-
pledge ourselves on or before June
% to save constantly and to buy
regularly Government securities.
We shall then be doing our part.
