LEATHER INDUSTRY.

New York, Oct 5.-H. W. Boyd,
president of the Armour Leather
Company. says: Unless there is a
decided change in present condi-
tiOns of the leather market. which
is now at a standstill. We must shut
down. Tanneries all over the acoun-
try are operating at only 80 per
cent OF their capacity. and not 10
per cent of the New England shoe
factories are running. Never before
in my twenty-five years experience
have / seen the leather industry in
such bad condition. 1t commenced
liquidating over a year ago and new
materials are now at pre-war prices
I don't see how they can go any
lower il the industry continues to
exist There is no accumulation of
leather or a surplus OF shoes. We
are laying of some help and would
shut down entirely IL it were not
for the necessity OF taking care of
hides from cattle slaughtered by

Officials Nonplussed in Effort to
Trace Mysterious Gold Shipment

Both the Federal Reserve Board
and the Department of Justice were
at loss yesterday to determine the
origin of the gold shipment of $780,
600 which appeared from Russia in
Europe and was so credited on the
latest statement of gold exports and
imports. 1t is feared that the
treasure may be part of the Boil
shevik propaganda fund and is to
be used in the United States to ad-
vance the Soviet idea of govern
ment. An investigation now is un-
der way.
The Federal Reserve Board off,

to discover where the gold came
from. 1t was suggested that 1t

might be a shipment delayed in
transmission since 1916 and have
been held up by some friendly power
at a time when this country was
seizing all imports of gold and
silver. However, this is only a
surmise and one guess is as good
as another.
The secret operatives of the De-
psrtment of Justice have taken up
the trail. it was said, and are SEEK
ing to ascertain the ownership of
the treasure. The information is
sought largely to prevent the i'm
portation of further shipments of
like character, IL it is found the
gold originated in Bolshevk circles
as is suspected.

ROADS IN THE U. s.

Despite the fact that the United
States has 100000 motor driven
vehicles in operation-leading the
world in this respect-motorist will
be surprised to learn that but IL per
cent. of roads in this country are
surfaced. Out of an estimated total
of 2,478,552 miles of public rural
roads, only about 299,135 are sur
faced, or improved.
Indiana shows the greatest per-
centage of improved highways, 42.5
per cent. of its roads being surfaced,
based on the last available figures of
1918.
That there is a great need for good
roads can be deduced from the in
creased tendency for long distance
hauling by motor trucy and particu-
larry by the fact that 10000 en-
ployes of the United States Postof-
fee Department travel 1,4O0,000
miles daily in delivering mail on rural
routes.
With an estimated 1920 produc-
ton of 100000 automobiles, the
need for better highways is evident.
That this fact is recognized by the
states and municipalities is shown by
estimated appropriations of $780,
100000, to be spent on hard surfaced

For every great evil the people have
a remedy in their own hands, if they
would use it. You hear a great deal
of a few men being enriched by the
tariff. The millions who are robbed,
have the remedy in their own hands;
they can get rid of the tariff, if so
disposed. This is true of every other
wrong wherein a few smart men rob
the masses, by fooling them. The
people should refuse to be fooled.

% CASES wHIsKEv STOLEN

W CASES WhISkEr SIOLEN
Ninety-four cases of Sante Fe
whiskey, seized at Versailles last
January by police of that town, and
taken by seven masked men from the
Old Tarr Distillery at Lexington last
Thursday night are believed to be
planted in or around Lexington.
A dragnet covering a territory of
100-mile radius from Lexington has
been thrown out by Federal officers
and city police.
The whiskey was bottled by r. E.
Wathen & Co., Louisville, and was
believed to be on its way out of the
State when truck carrying it was
seized at Versailles.
Federal Prohibition Director J,,mes
II. Combs took charge Of the contra
band liquor and, storing it in the
Tarr Warehouse, where formerly a
distillery was operated, placed gov
eminent lock on the door. Two
watchmen were on night duty.
1t was nearly 2 o'clock Thursday
morning when H. s. Cobb and Cherries
Swigart, the two night watchmen,
having just completed their regular
inspection of the premises and found
everything secure, entered the Of
flee of the warehouse. Suddenly the
door opened and seven masked men
armed with revolvers, appeared.
eve have come after our whiskey,"
one said, addressing the watchmen.
eve don't want any trouble, and we
don't intend to harm anybody, but
we've come after our whiskey, and
we're going to get it."
The two watchmen were forced
over to wall and made to put their
hands behind them. The raiders had
provided themselves with window
sash cord and with this they bound
Cobb and Swigert's wrists. The ban
dts then forced Swigert and Cobb,
at revolvers' points, to go to the
warehouse, sixty feet away, and un-
lock an outer door. The door bearing
the government lock was not tamper-
de with.
Some Of the gang guarded the
watchmen, while others took up a
heavy sledge hammer and after an
hours work battered down a parti-
ton between that part of the ware
house and the department where the
whiskey was stored.
After the partition was down the
bandits carried the cases out to
big auto truck which had been left
near the Tarr building.
Finally, about A o'clock, the work
was done and the watchmen were re-
leased. After warning Cobb and Swi-
CERT that death would follow any at
tempt to identify them, the band de-
parted, apparently in motor ca,, DIS
the sound of touring car and the
truck was heard.
As soon as the gang had departed
the watchmen ran to the telephone to
notify the police, but the wires had
been cut. Remembering the raiders
warning, the watchmen remained in
the office until 5 o'clock, when they
went to the home of Bert Hulett, day

EXCHANGE SAVINGS STAMPS
FOR TREASURY CERTIFICATES

have these transferred to Treasury
Savings Certificates of the same is

A War Savings Certificate holding
