Washington, May 25-Lower shoe
prices late next winter and SPRING
were predicted today by Edward A
Brand, secretary of the tanners
council OF the United States, testify
ing before a Senate committee of in
quiry.
TANNERS and manufacturers be-
lieve prices will fall by that time
Mr.. Brand said, because Of the re-
cent decline in leather prices. This
decline could not sooner be reflect
ed in shoe costs, he said, because
SHOES are made up far in advance OF
the season in which they are offered
on the market.
II leather prices stay where they
are now" Mr.. Brand said, "it means
that the cheaper hides will come into
leather in ten months at least and
cheaper leather means cheaper shoes
Shoe prices Should begin to become
lower late next winter-not in the
fall--but early winter, and in the
spring and early summer of 1921,
providing nothing unforeseen hap
pens"
Stocks Of medium grade leather
now are plentiful. Mr.. Brand stated
there alse are adequate supplies
OF the best grades. Foreign purchas-
es have been reduced because of the
exchange situation. he said. while
domestic purchases have declined
because retailers are buying hand to

Gifts Coming Slowly
to Salvation Army

]. Howard WEIGH, local chairman
for Waterville and Winslow for the
Salvation Army drive, said Tuesday
evening that the local drive is pro-
ceeding slowly.
work done by the Salvation Army
lassies overseas, but their work in
peace times is not always so well
recognized. There is never a man
in such sore straits, but he may OBJ
tain relief of the Salvation Army,
which gives him good meal, a clean
bed, and then tries to put into his
heart and mind a new purpose.
The Salvation Army is non-sec-
tartan, and it is not itself sect.
After man has been reclaimed and
put upon his feet once more, he is in
position to seek once more the
church of his father and mother,
whether he be Jew or Gentle, Pro-
testant or Catholic. All that the
Army ever asks of him, is that he
shall turn away from the wrong and
choose the right. For it's own adj
herents, the Army has a simple
anu ueautlIui Religion, IN winch Jesus
Christ is regarded as the Elder
Brother who saves from sin. This
creed, broad enough to include the
entire world, is exemplified in the
living and lives Of service of the
Army itself. In giving to the Saliva
ton Army, one is not giving to it
as an organizations; but is giving to
buy clothing for ill-clad children
right in our own community, to care
for the sick and dying too poor to
hire proper assistance, and in giving
food to hungry stomachs of families
who are unfortunate. In giving to
the Salvation Army the people Of
Waterville, Winslow and Fairfield
are giving to the poor ande needy
among ourselves.
