Myerstown.- He emphasized the i'm
portance of the forward movement
work in the church to-day. He
said in part:
The disputes of labor and capi-
tai fall in crucial time. The thing
as issue is not the quest of wages
but the question of morals. During
the past year there were sixty-three
strikes in the United States. Fifty
three strikes were called because
men did not stand by the agreements
made. Only sixteen strikes were
legitimate. Somebody slipped at the
moral end of things.
The golden rule of Jesus Christ
should be the rule of commerce and
business as well as in the home life.
our whole social basis to-day is en-
tire pagan and unchristian.
"One million dollars is the aim for
the United Evangelical Church for
five years.
Japan is becoming rationalistic.

Our aim and duty is first to make
CHINA Christian. Here we have a
large field established under the sup
erV1sion of the Rev. c. Newton Dubs.

"Unbelief is crowding into our COLI
leges and high schools and is also
undermining the pulpits of to-day.
The tendency is to gradually put the
denominational college to death.
salvation is needed in the denomina-
tonal colleges. The life of the world
is the Cross of Jesus Christ"
Bishop w. NJ. Stanford, d. D.. OF

MAYNARD MADE
DOUBLE FLIGHT
IN SO HOURS
Return Trip Consumed More
Time Because of Acct
dent to Machine

Washington, Oct 22.-Lieut. Bcl-
vim w. Maynard. winner of the trans
continental derby, made the round
trip from New York to San Frnn-
cisco and return In less than 10 fly
ing hours, the, official timekeeper OF
the contest reported to Major Gem
ernl Menoher, director of air service.
The record shows that he spent 80
hours, 3 minutes and 4sk seconds
in the air.
The return trip required IS hours
moro than that to the west coast,
principally because of the accident
to Maynard's machine, which nearly
put him out of the contest.
Lieutenant Maynard's trip Is
practically invaluable to the air
service" the official announcement
said. HE collected data which will
prove very valuable to airmen who
attempt the fight in the future.
This great fight proves certainly
that the contemplated aerial route
from the United States to Alaska is
not merely a dream, but is very prac-
teal and can be easily accomplished"

SHOE PRICES TO
REMAIN AWAY UP
Congressman Kreider Sees No
Relief; Only Hope Is to Hold
Them Where They Are

Congressman AIS. Kreider, head
of the A. S. Kreider Company, manu-
facturer of shoes. does not look for
any reduction in shoe prices and lays
the difficulty to the sharp advances
in the prices of all kinds of leather.
Leather is scarce and immense guam
titles have been used in the war and
more recently have been sent to Eu-
rope. ~Sy conservative action it is
hoped to keep prices where they
are" he says in letter to the Har-
risburg Telegraph. The letter was
written at the request of ]. Frank
McElwain, president of the National
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers Asso-
citation, who was recently misquoted
as saying that shoe prices are due
for an early fall. The communica-
tion follows:
MANY of the metropolitan and
other newspapers have recently been
carrying large headlines as follows:
Price of Footwear Drops 20 Per
Cent - Another Tumble Due After
Christmas Holidays The articles
go on to quote that ]. Frank Nc
Elwain, President of the National
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers Asso-
citation is responsible for the state
ment, etc.
"As a matter of fact, Mr.. McEl-
vain had been misquoted, and in a
personal letter to me, has asked me
to try and assist him in correcting
the erroneous impression created by
this article.
Under date of October Is, he
says: My remarks at the Middle
States Shoe Wholesalers Convention
in New York yesterday have been
misquoted in the papers to-day.
The fact is that there has been
a decline of approximately 20 per
cent. in the price of hides and from
the high point reached in August.
1t, however, must be borne in mind
that shoe prices have never reached
the high peak represented by the
August price of hides, and have in
reality been based on hide values
no higher, and in many cases con-
siderably lower, than now prevail.
"'Shoe factories have to-day a
larger volume of orders on hand
than can be taken care of during
the next three or four months. Dur
ing that period they will require a
large quantity of hides, leather, and
other supplies. Desirable leather is
extremely scarce and cannot be
quickly obtained.
There is, therefore,, no 1nolca-
ton of a recession in the price of
shoes in the near future. 1t is my
opinion that the prices for spring
will be no lower than at present.
"'(Signed) ]. F. McELWAIN.'
'I wish to say that it is my can
did opinion that prices of footwear
will not be lower in the near future
on account of the extreme scarcity
of raw materials, and the large de-
mand. If there is any change in
price, it will be an advance rather
than a decline. but it is to be hoped
that further advances may be avoid
ed by conservative buying on the
part of the retailer, the manufac-
turer and the tanner, for it must be
remem bered that, after all, the basic
product is hides and skins, and If
these should be forced to higher
level, by an abnormal demand, of
necessity prices of leather and shoes
must follow. By conservative action,
it is hoped these advances may be
avoided.
yours truly,
"A. S. KREIDER.'
