Lodge Pin Saved Life
of Chmk In Mexico

Juarez, Mexico, Sept. = A
lodge pin and grip saved the, life
of Chinese merchant Of Parral
when Francisco Villas troops
captured Parral Aemerican con-
sui here upon his arrived from
the interior recently.
- The Chinese merchant, refused
to permit his name to be at
tached to the statement for fear
he would be killed if he fell into
Villas hands. He swore that he
saw three of his cousins dragged
thru the streets of Parral by
rebels and burned at the stake.
A demand for $1,000 was made
upon him upon threat of death,
the merchant said. He told the
Villa colonel he did not have this
amount and he was about to be
ordered shot, he said when he
noticed a lodge pin on the lapel
of the colonel's coat. The mer-
chant said he belonged to the
Chinese organization which was
similar to the one which the
officer belonged to and they ex-
changed handshakes. The ran
som was reduced to $1,000 and
he; was finally permitted to go.

GREAT RACE PROMISED
IN $4,000 FUTURITY

The Kentucky Futurity, the.
most coveted of all races for
three-year-old trotters, not alone
for the richness of its money
value Of $4,000, but for the.
honor and distinction it carries
through a long succession OF
years, has not been won by a
native Kentuckian since 1895,
when Oakland Baron triumphed
for the late Robert G. Stoner, of
Paris, but it now seems likely
that the 1919 renewal is to fall
to very distinguished citizen of
the Blue Grass State.
At Readville, Mass, last Thurs
day, Molly Knight won. The
Horse Breeder Futurity, trotting
the second heat in zoo IA, the
fastest mile of the year thus far
by three-year-old trotter, and
moved into third place in the list
of the seasons money winners.
Molly Knight is a bay flly by
General Watts.
Molly Knight is owned by Hon.
Henry M. Bosworth, of Fayette
county, former State Treasurer,
then State Auditor, and again,
after four years out of politics,
the, Democratic nominee for State
Auditor.
Molly Knights trainer and
driver is that distinguished Ten
nessee reinsman, Edward F.
(Pop) Geers, and he will pilot
her in the race for the Kentucky
Futurity at the Kentucky Thot-
ting Horse Breeders Associa-
ton track at Lexington, Tues
day, September 80, when it is
expected that thousands of people
from all sections of the country
will be on hand to witness the
battle that Periscope, Abbie
Putney, Norman Dillon, Brush
loft, Princess Etawah, Little Lee,
Charley Herr, Jr., Judge Rico,
Peter L., Wiki Wiki, Grace
Drake, Let Fly, and perhaps
Harveta, Peter Coast and others
will wage against her,
Three others of the trotters
mentioned above are owned by
Kentuckians, they being Charley

Davy' Cahill, of Lexington, Peri
scope, owned by John L. Dodge,
who has his home at Hollywood
Farm, near Lexington, and Little
Lee, the property of G. L. Knight,

Recent statements appearing IN the
public prints tending to indicate that
War Savings Stamps may be used a.

Garry Complete Stock of
Shoes of All Grades
and Styles.

Starting in business for themselves
-FOUR years ago, A. L.. Olsen and Ed
Olsen, of the firm Of Olsen Bros, shoe
store: nave succeeded in building up
a substantial patronage composed Of
some OF the best people Of the city
people who have come to realize that
II they want dependable shoes and
shoes that combine quality with good
looks, they may find them at Olsen's,
A complete stock of shoes of all
grades and kinds-shoes for men.
women and children-is to be found
at the Olsen establishment. Shoes for
the ultra-conservative person, shoes
for the Understandable person,
shoes for the successful head of the
family. shoes for the society part"
of the fomily, shoes for the Red Cross
worker, shoes for the youngsters and
pretty bottles for the wee ones, are
to be found at Olsen's.
AS style seems to be an important
requisite in the selection Of boots this
spring, Olsen's have combined the
very best of style with the very best
of quality in the selection of their
spring stock. Brown. black and gray
boots low-heeled oxfords, pumps Of
sensible black or Of champagne color,
patent leather boots and low shoes,
are some of the lasts worn this season
that are to be found at Olsen's.
A significant. and desirable feature
Of the stores policy is that the stock

CONSERVATIVE
SHOE STYLES
AT RAND BROS.
Blacks and Browns Will Pre-.
dominate, Says E. S.
L'Esperance.

With the government still debating
fashion as applied to the color OF
women's spring boots, conservative
blacks and browns will be the key
note OF the high shoes worn this
spring. says E. S. L'Esperance of
Rand Bros shoe store. Low shoes
OF white kid and other white fabrics,
OF brown kid. of champagne kid, OF
shiny patent leather. and with a
sprlnkllng Of the lighter colors are
gong to be worn this year. And al
ready. much earlier than ever before
recorded in Rand Bros annals, the
better dressed women of Grand Forks,
who believe in keeping just q little
ahead Of the styles, are picking out
their low-cut shoes for spring year.
Later in the season. pumps and
colonials will be very good. Just now
many are wearing their low shoes
with spats. The boots vary in type
from from iow,heeied walking shoes to the
dress d in brown and black. The
styles are along conservative lines. AS
.there are no fancy colors. for there
IS a government ban on such things,
the only variation permitted is in the
lines. The lasts are long and narrow,
m shoes have never been built over
such pretty lasts as they are this year.
If the narrow hobble skirt is adopt
ed, the only thing hat will be worn
very "Frenchiest" of heels will 20
with the extreme skirt effect predict
ed. But government regulations still
prevent the covered material French
heel. and wearers of such heels may
be hard nut to secure the kind their
heart desires.
Mems shoes r to be along much
the same lines as those of last season.
For young men the English lasts will
predominant and with the older men.
the more conservative type of shoe,
the shoe with the medium broad toe
and the straight last. will be the
favorlte. The tendency Of the young
men returning from foreign service,
or in fact from home service, is to
demand shoes with medium broad
toes and English lasts.
Mr.. LEsperance, manager Of Rand
Bros, is, with John Mork, joint own
er of the establishment. having bought
out the former owner, Will Rand,
last January. Both he and Mr.. Mork,
by virtue Of their long years of ex-
p%erience in the city. are we'll versed
with the personal likes and dislikes
of the majority of the better dressed
men and women of Grand Forks. To
the buyer of shoes at Rand's. some
thing of a personal touch in the way
Of service given is always predomi-
nant. Rams primary object is to
satisfy the wants of the buyer, and
above all to give that satisfaction that
comes with the purchasing of a pair
of boots or shoes known to be Of the
best quality.
Although the general public is look.
ing forward to a fall in the price OF
shoes. they r going to be sadly dis.
appointed, says Mr.: L'Esperance. The
price of all materials going into the
makeup of shoes is higher than evel
before. Foreign buyers are now ir

since the war and are fast outbiddins

The very latest lasts FOR women and
the lasts that are going to prove es-
pecially popular this spring are. ac-
cording to Mr.. Olsen. the long and
narrow ones The trend Of woman's
mind is toward beauty in all, manner
of dress. and tho item Of whether
ones boots are good looking or no Is
one that is being given more and more
consideration. The boot. oxford or

with Keen Interest Shown
In Shoe fashions, Dealers
Display Many Fine Styles
Colonial Pump l. Best Offer
ing For Spring; There
May be Return To Fancy
Patterns In Showing For
Next Fall; Little Change
In Men. Shoes.

Authorities on the question Of shoes
say that there never was a time when
the retail shoe merchants exhibited a
keener interest in fashion in footwear
than at present. With manufacture
ers' prices at a higher level than ever
before owing to conditions over which
they have no control, the shoe mer-
chants Of the country are exhibiting
more interest in the matter Of style
than Of prices. They have come to
realize that shoes, like millinery, will
/ not sell at . profitable price, unless
style is first and foremost. The war
time regulations will not expire until
June first, but after that, the lid is
off," so to speak. and manufacturers
may make any styles they please.
h colonial pump-really a plain
pump with a large buckle or orna-
ment. is tho best offering for the
spring. Buckles come high, but the
public must have them. and seem
willing to pay the price that is asked.
No one has to be told of the con-
tinued popularity of oxfords. They
conservation measure, and have sold
right through this exceptionally mild
winter. Five and six eyelet oxfords
r proving popular in patent, black
or tan kid. Pumps in black patent
leather, black glazed and brown kid
and brown and black suede, and
black satin all to be food sellers
for the spring.
Shoe men are cheered BY the an
nouncement that American women
already have begun to complain
' about the long and narrow skirt
which Fashion has imposed on them.
The short skirt brought in the fancy
boot, n brought with it more gen.
eral attention to footwear han was
A. ---- --I-- ~ -----
The frocks designed in Paris are said
to be particularly created for the
short skirt and cannot be heightened.
They are drawn in and caught up,
and paneled in a way thai would be
awkward if they came to the ankles,
an expert recently returned from
Paris says. THE first thing I did
when I returned to America this
authority states further. was to send
here, to the workroom to have five
or six inches taken off. If we con-
slider all the dictates of Paris, we
must wear short skirts. However,
boots will be discarded, for the skirta
strike just above the boot tops and
show the hose at IN ugly point. To
avoid this, low shoes, preferably
pumps, must be adopted.
The principal style features for the
women's shoes next fall may be said
to be a return to fancy patterns, the
adoption of longeg forepart lasts,
and the return of patent leather.
These are the pronounced character
istics of women's shoes shown and
to be shown by manufacturers for
the next fall and winter retail season.

their makeup and the lines and ma
terials that have been in use re-
