DON'T THROW AWAY
! YOUR OLD SHOES
Make Them Wear Like New
AS Did This Canadian
Officer

A Canadian army officer, William
Pemberton, of the famous Princess Pat
Regiment, told of the extraordinary
wear given him by pair of army boots
twice repaired with Neolin Soles.
Six months of trench warfare under
destructive conditions put the first
pair of Ne0lin Soles out Of business,
said Lieutenant Pemberton, ''but ordi-
nary soles would have gone to pieces
in much less time"
Don't throw away shoes that can be
repaired. Have them rc-bottomed with
tough, durable Neolin Soles. Any
cobblcr or repairman will do the work
for you. The price is no more thar
for soles that give less wear. Remem.
ber-Neolin Soles are created by science
to be what soles should be. They
are flexible and waterproof as we'll as
durable. They come on new shoes of
all styles. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels-guaranteed to outwear any
other heels.

the demand it made On the time o:
everyone, orchestra concerts were
discontinued last year after two
very successful seasons in which
the organization, under the direc-

more than a local utation.
The election Of directors will be
a matter of business and the asso-
citation has assurance that Mr..
Becker will again direct the or
chestra, since his contract with
the society has not yet expired.
Under its guarantee with patrons
the orchestra was to continue for
three years, but because OF the war
the directors thought it advisable
TO discontinue operations last year,
therefore the guarantee still holds
for another year.
The personnel of the orchestra,
it is expected. will be much the
same as it was before the war,

the troubles. The Washington
riots started as a result of an
attempted assault by negro
upon a sailors wife. The ne
gro lynched at Omaha was
likewise guilty of such a crime.
Infuriated hundreds, believing
existing laws inadequate to
punish the offender, took law
into their own hands. That
they were prepared to disre-
gard all law was made evident
when they had a moose around
re neck of the man who at
tempted to bring the offending
negro to justice through the
regular channels.
If highways and byways are
unsafe for the womanhood of
this country to travel, adequate
protection against assaults is
needed. Nebraska is lax in such
laws, the lynching mob de-
creed. Revenge by death of
the offender gives temporary
relief from the situation, but
proper laws and a sharp line of
demarcation between blacks
and whites where the former
are numerous will bring about
better results in the long run.
An eye for an eye, or lawless-
ness for lawlessness, is not the
accepted mode of correction
in this day.

WHY THE PRICES?

@x INTERESTING food for
a thought is presented by
- figures issued recently
showing relative costs of raw
materials and the finished pro-
duct in the pork trade for the
same dates in 1917, 1913 and
1919. Outside of allowing a
slight increase for wages, one
can conclude for himself where
the added costs have been di-
rected.
Bacon and ham are made
from top quality pork. In
1917 the live stock was bought
at 18 cents a pound. In 1919 it
was bought for 18 cents. Two
years ago bacon sold for z cents
and ham for 8 cents less than
the market price at this time.
In 1918, when the government
was buying the great bulk of
the cured pork products, pack
ers were paying 19 3-4 cents a
pound and selling for less than
today.
Congress started out two
months ago to find out why the
ratio of cost to retail price has
raised so out of proportion. In
vestigations had not progressed
far when it began to get hot
and congress wanted a vaca-
ton. That being impractical
BILE, the needed legislation was
sidetracked. AS yet, there is
no actual relief provided.
Ham and bacon represent a
specific example. There are
hundreds of others which every
householder knows of only too
well. The people would like
to know the why of the exam
pie recited, and of its hun
dreds of parallels.

Ten sons of cabinet officers
were among those who served
in the war against Germany,
an excellent indication that
there were no bomb-proof job
hunters among the sons Of high
government officials. Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson and For
mer Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo sent three sons each
to the co1ors. To the credit of
the cabinet mems sons it is re-
corded that two of the ten
served in the ranks, while a
third was serving as a midship-
man in the naval academy.
