It is well-known fact that if a wet shoe is placed too close to a fire the interior of the sole IS sometimes utterly ruined before the surf ace of the leather shows appreciaple signs of injury. Wet shoes should De dried slowly and shoe trees inserted to

WHEAT IMPORTS.
BREAK RECORD.
consignments From Canada During
First Half of October May Be
Work Of Spectators.

Wheat importation from Canada
during the first fifteen days of Oc-
tober totaled 4,95o,6s3 bushels, or
more than three times as much as
during any whole month of October
in the past seven years, according
to figures made public by the Fed
eral Trade Commission yesterday.
These figures are accepted as
bearing out the charges made by
Gov. Allen, of Kansas, that specu-
lators are using importations from
Canada to Uepress grain prices in
the United States. The investica-
tion was instituted by the commits
sion at request of the President.
During the same fifteen days in
October. 65.946 barrels of -four were
imported from Canada. This it is
pointed out, is considerably more
than half of the amount imported
during the entire month of Septem-
Der. 1917, when imports were larger
than in any month during the sew
en- years prior to 1920.
The figures were made public
without comment, the commission
refusing to draw any inference
from them.
For all we know" said one Of
fetal, there may be a good and
legitimate reason for this vast in
crease. We have not gone into that
phase of the situation as yet"

COMMERCIAL MEN OF NEW

New Orleans, Mar. g.. Whether or not there will be call for another strike of dock workers will decide today following the receipt by the union men of virtual uItimatum from the buiness interests of New Orleans
 Union leaders were told last night by Arthur D. Parker, president of the Association of Commerce, that com mercial New Orleans was sick and tired" of periodic river front strikes and that should the men decide to strike again every legal effort would be made to push on the work of the port without them"
 The new complication arose when union men objected to the Illinois Central Railroad company retaining in their employ non-union men hired during the period when the union men were on strike.

Reds Believed Behind Attempt at
 Zurich, Switzerland.

Berne, March 4.--A heavily charged bomb was exploded before the street door of the American consulate in Zurich last night. The door was com pletely shattered, large holes were pierced in the wall and all the windows of the building were shattered. The ground floor, where is situated the of- fee of the consulate, was almost de- molished. The consul and his family, who lived on the upper floor, escaped uniniured. but were compelled to move to hotel.
 The remains of the bomb show that it was expertly constructed and de- tonated by a time fuse.
 Latest reports strengthen an i'm pression in official circles that the at tack may be considered bolshevist protest against the deportation ot Reds" from the United States and the arrest of other radicals in that country.
