( Upon the invention Of a machine for
sewing leather shoes, for which the
patent was issued to Gordon Mckay,
April 20, 1862, was built the great boot
ma shoe industry Of the United States.
Mckay purchased, in 1859, Blake's sew
ing machine, which was one simply
using wax thread, with a stationary
horn attached. While the machine in
tended for sewing boots and shoes op.
Grated well in parts Of the work, It
failed in stitching the heels and toes.
Mckay changed the feeding apparatus,
introduced automatic contrivances, and
finally was successful In. adapting
It to. all kinds Of work. After the
breaking out Of the Civil war, Mckay
began to make army shoes, and In
1852 made contracts with g. firms for
their use. In 1876, 1850 were in OPP

CEMENT PRICES TO GO HIGHER,
Manufacturers Predict Another Ad-
vance Next Year,

Chicago. April l5.-Albert Y. Gowen
vice president of the Lehigh Valley
Portland Cement Company. created a
sensation yesterday at the senate COM
mittee hearing on the brick trust" In
the Hotel LaSalle when he said he
anticipated higher rather than lower
cement prices next year.
in 1907 he said. our company de-
clared dividendes OF per cent. Last
year they were only per cent, due to
the high cost of labor and COAL
Asked to compare costs and profits
Of five years ago and today. Mr.. Gowen
showed that in 1918 coal cost s2.32 a
ton. as compared with s4.1s last year:
labor in 1918 cost 1875 cents barrel,
as against "a cents last year. The
selling price Of cement in 1918 was
SEQ cents a barrel and in 1918 sl.62 a
BARREL.
Our profit" he said. '.a- 1918 was
a little over II cents on the barrel.
whereas in 1913 it was over % cents.
Mr.. Gowen was excused until today
when he will appear with criticism
Of a theoretical plant outlined by n
commission of engineers appointed by
Governor Lowden. He stated yester-
day he doubted II a plant could be OPP
Grated as cheaply as estimated. \
comparison will be made today of the
theoretical figures ana costs OF the
Lehigh company.
Costs would be greatly reduced
he said. II cement plant could work
twelve months a year at maximum
capacity. But we can work hardly
seven months, because cement cannot
be used in freezing weather"

AVERAGE FARM EARNS 1920.
Bumper War Crops Enable Americans

Washington. April l5.2'"The average
American farmer has Jumped into the

Before he began coaXfig up bumper

ss3.a3 month. Thus in 1913 he earn
ed exactly 5000, according to study
made by experts at the department OF
agriculture. -.
Four years of war have put into the
pay envelope Of the average American
farmer nearly So 900 in cash.
In addition to this, he 7,has earned
additional money at a rate Sufficient
to:
