Gives No Hope for Lower Prices on
Shoes.

The shoe retailers of Barre arrived
home late yesterday afternoon after at
tending the annual meeting of the Yer
mont Shoe Retailers association, held in
the New Sherwood hotel The meeting
was largely attended and interesting
talks were given by |. Fl. Morse of Low
ell, Mass, head of chain of retail shoe
dealers in New England, his subject be
ing Financing Retail Shoe Business
and also by w. c. Roose o. Manchester
n. H., who gave an interesting talk on
store Organization" and George Tilden
of. Barre, who spoke in brief about shoe
retailing,
The tendency for prices on shoes as
gathered from shoe manufacturers and
tanners is to gradually increase, owing
to the scarcity of calfskins, the lack Of
sole leather and the steady increase in
higher wages. The general public should
not get the idea that the price of shoes,
low or high, mems or women IS. will come
down a lot, for it will not and cannot
as long as present conditions exist.
Lace boots will be much in evidence
this year for women. The tops Of shoes
in some instances will l3e from one to
one and one half inches higher, more
leather and fabric, but with the addition
al material will come an increase Of from
81 to So per pair Of shoes.
This will not be wholly because of the
lengthening of the tops, however, but
because of the scarcity of kid skin, Eng
land having placed an embargo on them,
and they can only be bought through
that country at the present time.
Oxfords will be in vogue for the early
spring and summer months, Louis and
French heels will be in demand for fall.
Military heels will be stronger than ever.
Five colors will prevail, with the in
PRODUCTION of beaver as the new shade.
The other prevailing shades will be gray,
medium and dark, and brown, light and
dark.
Mems shoes will be higher in price be
cause of the scarcity of upper and sole
leather The latter was Communicated
for army use.--adv

treaties of peace but guarantees
of the justice and the future of

social structure of the world rest

the peace must be made with the
sentiment of those classes con-
stantly kept in view.
The President made these dec

American executive was a most
enthusiastic one. both here and at

That the war was far from; being

by the Old Age Pension Commission
brought into being by the General
