HOEM A ERS ARE.
NOT PROFITEERS

The shoemaker is daily ac-
caused by the people who visit
his shop of profteering. We
want to call the attention of
the public to the fact that the
shoemaker is now, and always
has been, working on a very
small margin of profit.
The steady increase in the
price of SOLE-LEATHER has
cut his profits down to such a
low level that the men who
follow the shoe repairing
trade can hardly make a re-
spectacle living.
In the month of November,
1918, at the time of the sign
ing of the armistice, the shoe
maker was paying for prime
OAK LEATHER eleven pound
blocks, $3.50 a dozen, and
today he is paying $21.50 for
the same stock.
The cost of labor has adj
vanced in nine months $1,000
per week and a reduction in
working hours from "a hours
to 48 hours per week, which
gives us an average increase
on material and labor of 125
per cent. Therefore, under
these trying conditions, the
shoemakers are forced to adj
vance the prices on shoe re-
pairing. We are only asking
a Is per cent increase of the
present price. The increase
went into effect Sept. 8, and is
as follows: Mems soles sew
ed and heels, 1925. Ladies
soles and leather heels with
rubber caps, 1925. Ladies'
soles and heels Strengthened
S1.6O. These prices subject
to change without notice. G..

Samples of the posters which will

the various districts of the county.
There are four large posters. two
smaller ones. windshield stickers ana

done artistically in colors and carry
powerful appeals for general par

Perhaps the most striking is that
which shows doughboy, dirty, bloody
and happy, a German helmet in his
hands and laugh on his lips. "And
they said we couldn't fight" is the la
bel. Another called. For Home and
Country" shows the soldier returning
to his wife and child. A third shows

CHARGE THAT GAME
BOARD IS POLITICAL

Eliminate politics from the. state
fish and game commission is the slo-
gan of the oregon Sportsmen's League
| of which Arthur K. Downs is presi-
dent
The following statement by the
league officers illustrates the position
taken:
THE movement inaugurated by the
Oregon Sportsmen's League to rid the.
State Fish and Game Commission or
its dual control by political and COM
mercial interests is arousing keen lr-
terest on the part of those interested
in the fostering of our wild life. The
establishment of the commission on
an efficient basis is of interest to ev-
cry citizen of the. state.
we are entering on an area or
road building and development and
are advertising to the tourists of the
world to comeato Oregon. Hand-in-
glove with this plan is that of propa.
eating and protecting our game fish
and our wild bird and animal life, and
turning it into a practical asset of the
state. The wild life of Maine attracts
visitors from all over the east and is
today one of her chief assets, yielo-
ing millions of revenue every year
This can be duplicated in oregon.
Politics and game protection do
not mix any more than oil and water.
Since 1915 commercial interests
have dominated the commissions af-
fairs so completely that last years
record shows that only 3,694,174 game
trout were liberated, while expendi-
lures from the game fund We're s93.-
401.e9 and that in the same time s66.-
090 was expended from the CONNER
cial fund, resulting in the liberatins |
of 35,395,155 salmon fry. Not only /
have we failed to liberate more trout /
as the years go on, but we have actu- |
ally seen the number decrease, To |
this there is only one answer. Abso- |
lutte depletion of our streams.
The Oregon Sportsmen's League
has no candidates for membership on
the commission, nor any suggestions /
as to who shall be the new fish and /
game warden, but stands absolutely /
for the eliminstion of the political and |
control in the commis- /
sion's affairs

the best location for the trophy train.
According to T. f. O'Brien the light
on this track is better than that on

The committee in charge is en-
phatic in urging that local visitors see
the trophies between the hours of 6

also desired of spectators that after
