STRANDQUIsT SCHOOL NOTES.

The school work of the year is now
well under way. Parents would do well
to examine the pupils report cards to
determine whether their children are
making satisfactory progress in school,
or not. II a child is falling below
grade in some subject, it is possible
that the trouble can be corrected now
and the difficulty overcome with the
proper cooperation from home
One way that parents can cooperate
with the school is by sending their
children to school regularly. The law
requires that all children should re-
ceive at least an elementary education.
Most parents realize this and that time
spent in school now will mean more
satisfaction and more money in his
pocket later on.
The pupils of the Primary and Inter
mediate rooms will have joint
Halloween party on Friday Of this
week In Miss Vik's room.

the intermediate grades, is now direct
ing work in music and singing in all

RED CROSS ROLL CALL.
State Of Minnesota
Executive Department


The American Red Cross is planning
to make November second Red Cross
Sunday and the week Of November
third to eleventh Red Cross Week.
We should at this time show through
contributions our appreciation OF the
wonderful work done by this efficient
organization, both at home and abroad
Although the World War is over, there
is much work vet to be done. There
are starving and suffering people in
the war-torn countries to be cared for.
There are many problems Of public
health, relief Of poverty, preparedness
for possible calamities, and the like to
be solved in this country. No organ
ization can perform this kind of ser
vice as capably as the American Red
Cross.
Permit me. therefare. to urge that on
Red Cross Sunday special attention be
given at all public meetings. churches
and elsewhere to the need Of funds for
this purpose and that the people of
Minnesota cooperate in every. possible
manner in the campaign planned for
Red Cross Week.

COST OF SHOES.

Wages constitute small part of the
cost Of the production of manufactured
goods.
The excuse for high prices usually
offered by the storekeeper is that wages
were greatly increased during the war.
It is true that the organized workers
made substantial gains, though only
the crafts most thoroughly organized
secured increases that covered the
greater cost Of living But the true ex-
PLANTATION Of the increased cost of every
thing is the insistence of the manufact-
urer, the middle-man and the stOrekeep-
er upon war profits.
The price Of shoes is three times as
great as it was before the war The
leather trust has boosted the price of
leather beyond reason and made enor
nous profits, but this accounts for only
part of the advance; the manufacturer,
the jobber and the retail merchant are
equally responsible for the exorbitant
prices of shoes. Bulletin 232 of the
United States Bureau Of Statistics
shows the time required to produce one
hundred pairs Of shoes in the average
factory and the cost of the labor. To
make one pair of shoes required one
hour and twenty-five minutes labor.
The shoes passed through many hands
but this is the total amount of time
expended by all. The labor cost-the
wages paid to the various workers
amounted to little less than 81 cents.
Since 1916 the shoe-wOrkers have gain
ed increases in wages: assuming that
these amount to SO per cent-a very
liberal estimate-the labor cost of pro-
ducing pair of shoes in 1919 would be
about Is cents. It would be interesting
to have the shoe manufacturer, the
jobber and the retailer explain why a
pair of shoes that could be bought for
$500 in 1916 should now be sold for
$12.00-Painter and Decorator

Two Kinds of Bargains.

A man who recently returned from
business trip, was telling the other day
how he was attracted into a store in
that place by placard announcing
shirts for sale for $1.S5. He went in
and looked at the stock, and noticed
that the material was coarse and flimsy.
When he complains of the poor stuff,
the salesman told him he could get
better ones if he paid more, which was
perfectly true. But as he had just
worn out several shirts bought at that
place, he concluded that their alleged
bargains were seconds anyway. If he
wanted that grade, he could get them
in his home town for the same money.
This incident suggests that there are
bargains and bargains, also different
ways of advertising. Few firms would
advertise a sale of second grade shirts
in the newspapers, without making it
clear that the goods were not first
quality. Merchants would not want
people to take the time to come to their
store, and then find they were getting
something different from what they ex-
pected
The sale advertised by placards is a
different proposition, particularly in
large city. Stores that advertise in.
that way are apt to depend on chance
and transient trade that might never
return even when they got good bar
gain. So they do not feel so anxious to
make sure that customers know just
what they are buying.
! When you see sale advertised in
the Sheaf, you can feel sure that it is
just what appears to be on its face.
When merchant represents to his
home town people that a certain lire is
good stuff, he knows from past exper-
fence that it will make good. And if
he has seconds to work off, he would
never invite you to his store under the
impression that you were going to get
first grade goods.

the federal bureau Of census is seeking
the cooperation of county agents in
distributing sample copies of farm
schedules among farmers so that they

them accurately and fully. The bureau

near his house to potatoes last spring
and has picked 700 bushels from the
patch. He put Is bushels in his cellar

Highway Record
to be Eclipsed

California's previous record for
permanent highway construction,
which has placed this state in first
place among all OF the states Of the
union in mileage Of paved roads, will
be eclipsed within the next five
years, by the end Of which time this
state will be gridironed from one end
to the other, up and down and across
with paved roads reaching every
important town and district and all

There seems no doubt that the
present legislature will submit new
state highway bond issue of approx
imately' $40, 900 900 to a vote of the
people. This urgent appeal for more
reads, as well as the well balanced
program submitted to the legislature
by the committee from all sections
Of the state, having due regard for
the necessity OF roads in all parts Of
California, indicates that such bond
issue will carry by tremendous pop
ular vote. Adding this forty millions
to the eighteen million and fifteen
million dollar bond issues previously
voted will bring the states bond
road program up to total Of $751;
100000 By the time this new $4O,-
900, 900 issue has been expended, the
total expenditures of all of the coun-
ties on their local roads will have
achieved almost as large a sum. To
this total must be added many mil
Ions OF dollars which the federal
government will expend in California
on a fifty-fifty basis with the state
, According to information compiled
by the good roads bureau Of the Cal

Great Winter Wheat
Crop is Forthcoming

The American farmer promises to
turn out the greatest winter wheat
crop in the history of the nation.
Responding to call for food from
nations devastated by prolonged war,
the farmer will deliver $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat at the coming har-
vest, according to agricultural de-
partment figures.
This is an increase of 27S,551 900
bushels OVER the estimated 1918
wheat crop.
At the guaranteed price of $2.26
a bushel it will yield the farmer not
less than $1,S91,620,000
Only floods or drouth can spoil
the crop now, the department stated.
The farmer has done his part with
grain conditions "the highest on
record at this time by planting "the
largest acreage ever planted in this
country"
