SHOES WILL REMAIN AT PRESENT
HIGH PRICE, SAYS ARMOUR,

In the opinion of w. H. Boyd, President
Of the Armour Leather Company, shoes will
stay at their present high prices for at least
two years more. He says:
"There is no leather to be procured any
where have had men go through Aus
tralia Russia, the Argentine, all of the great
hide producing countries of the world. We
cannot find enough to keep our plant run
ming at seventy-6ve per cent of its capacity.
Germany took every hide she could find
in Russia and there has been no accumu-
lation since. The Argentine was stripped
by England France and Italy during the
war. Australia put an embargo on hides
when the war began and now has thriving
tanning industry. | attempted to buy there
a short time ago and found prices away
above ours.
"The, big demand is and has been since
1914, for the top grade feathers. There is
no limit on the price that can be obtained
for the best grade of good feathers, and the
cheaper grades, until recently, could not be
sold. Until sixty days ago, split feathers,
used for work shoes, sold for less than in
1918; now they are up little but good
wearing work shoe can still be purchased
for about what it brought before war days.
The trouble is that the working man does
not want it as it does not look as well as
the higher priced shoe, but it will wear as
we'll if not better
A. H. Geuting, President Of the National
Shoe Retailers Association, is quoted as
saving that the bulk of next Falls shoes
will be sold at from So to $12 pair instead
Of higher prices. He said, further, that it
is unfair to hold up one line of merchandise
as horrible example when in reality the
profit is not more than six per cent.

COUNTRY ON PROSPERITY DRUNK,
SAYS EDITOR

The editor of the Joliet HeraId-Ne7VS, in
commenting upon the high cost of living,
makes these pointed remarks:
"This country is on a magnificent pros
perity drunk-pretty much everybody, save
the fellow on fixed salary whose nose is on
the grindstone of increased taxes and prices
of things to eat and to wear.
dealers in jewelry, expensive apparel
and food delicacies, throughout the east and
middle west, state that the demand for these
things is unprecedented, and the folks don't
care what they have to pay. In the Sunday
auto parades at Washington, every third
machine contains family of colored folks,
and the records of sales show that wage
earners. all over the country, are going in
for auto luxuries.
According to the comptroller of the cur
rency, during the past six months charters
were granted to 180 new banks while PA
others were authorized to increase their
capital.
Folks are selling their war bonds and
buying luxuries besides blowing in wage in
creases.
yes
"Our public debt is approximately 2515
billions or even $1,000 per capita for every
male wage-earner in the country.
"Any sort of drunk has an end, sooner
or later The after effects are well defined
= empty purses, headache, nausea, stupor,
ug1iness. And there is more danger to
sound government in a reckless, psychology
ical drunk than in any other sort.
