SQUINT OVER THIS
AND THEN DOPE 1T
OUT FOR YOURSELF

Chicago. Jan. THE National Re
tail Shoe Dealers association. at
tended by 1000 members, met in con-
vention here today and some of them
were kept busy establishing alibis for
high prices.
John O'Connor, general chairman
of the convention. said that this years
harvest of leather was equal to that
of the past seasoa-he didn't really
consider that there was leather
shortage except in grades used for the
military--and then he and his asso-
ciates explained the why of the Id and
20 dollar shoe for women and the Q
and II dollar ditto for men.
1t appeared that cotton drilling has
gone up 800 per cent to maximum
of 20 cents a. yard and that If there
were a pair of feet in the country re-
curing yard Of shoe lining. 70 cents
OF the price was accounted for. Shoe
laces cost $3.50 a gross and so if your
shoes have a gross of laces with them
it accounts for $3.50 more Of the price.
Beeswax, too. is up, but the cost was
not analysed. and it costs 10 cents
more to make every eyelet.
With 20 or 80 eyelets in woman's
shoe it was pointed out that some
more of the cost was obvious. And,
then, too. there are nails. A pound
of nails costs cents more than it
used to. Figuring the number OF
pounds to the shoe, the shoe runs
higher. and then" Mr.. O'Conner
said, labor and everything is up and
shoes have to follow"

TRINITY RECTOR
IN SERMON


Rev. W. L. Essex conducted his first
Sunday services as rector OF Trinity
Episcopal church yesterday, speaking i.
on the feast Of Epiphany at the hour
of morning worship and saying In
part as followH
To-day is the feast Of the Epiphany
and hence there is only one subject
for our consideration, namely, the visit
of the wise men to the infant Jesus.
From this event and from these men
OF old we can gain much Of spiritual
worth. First, their alteration Of IT,
infant Redeemer is the first fulflllment
of the angelic message that the gospel
is for all people. For these wise men
were not Jews, but Gentiles. We must
not limit our efforts to spread the
kingdom any more than God limits
His love"
AS an example of the need for mis-
sions in foreign lands. the speaker
said that there are today in China one
hundred thousand cases of blindness
which can absolutely be cured u
Christian folk will equip and send the
physicians.
Second, God revealed the Christ"
he said, to the wise men by way
which was familiar to them. They
were students of the heavens, and 1t
was a&tar which guided them to the
Eternal Lord. This is His way with
men still.
Third, the wise men were scien-
lists, students of nature: but this was
not barrier, but an aid to them In
finding God. There is no living man
today, no matter how intelligent. who.
cannot, If he is sincere. enter the
church without intellectual hypocricy.
The Christian religion is worthy Of
the love and devotion of all. y
Fourth, the wise men succeeded In
their quest because they had the vir--
tue of perseverance, 1t was a long,
long journey from Chaldea and it re-
quired great faith to accomplish IT.
yet who would deny that 1t was oil
worth WHILE"
Rev. Mr.. Essex arrived the fore part
of last week and was present for the
New Years day services at Trinity.
