ing shoes expects its product to be
sold to the public at $4,000 the pair.
About as many were stated for wo-
mems shoes, the figures being natur-
ally somewhat less than those set
forth for the mems shoes. Here Is
fair cross section of the prices shoe
merchants are actually paying for
shoes that go on their shelves. There
are no $500 or S3.75 shoes in existence
today.
Now consider the other end of the
proposition and the actual prices
which the public is being charged for
shoes in reputable shoe stores all over
the United States. There is not one
store in 100, taking the country over,
which has been selling $4,000 shoes.
The advertising columns of daily
newspapers afford ample proof that
good shoes are being offered to the
public at one-half price, and less.
Reputable store set forth their prices
in the daily newspapers just as the
manufacturers do in the pages of the
Recorder" to interest in turn their
customers, the individual wearers of
shoes, and prices from $500 to $50
from Rine-tenths of the offerings.
There are plenty of good shoes being
sold for $1,000 and $1,000.
These things are matters of black
and-white record, set forth in plain
print and available to any searcher
for real knowledge.
Any man who wants to be fair to
the shoe business has evidence right
before his eyes that the statements
we have quoted were grossly unjust
and SANDER against an honest trade.
Shoe prices have been high; the
consumer would be glad to see prices
lower; so would the shoe trade itself.
But prices will not be lowered and the
consumer will not be benefited by mon
strous perversions of truth regarding
actual conditions. No good can come
of senseless and unfair exaggeration,
and certainly such exaggeration ought
not to be the basis of law making.

THE SANFORD
AUTOBIOGRAPHY

The flavor of real literature IS
found in the autobiography of the
late Maria, Sanford, now running in
The Sunday Journal. AS one reads
the intimate descriptions of the New
England life of her childhood, there
comes deep regret that she could not
have lived to finish the story. The
pages abound in memories clear and
strong, in pictures quaint and vivid.
Her reflections upon life are keen
and timely and there is an atmosphere
altogether wholesome and invigorat
ing.
Her story is much more than per-
sonal narrative. 1t is picture of her
day and generation with many heart
ening tokens of progress. From tooth
pulling with turkeys to painless dem
tistry, from the days when everybody
drank and treated" the visiting min,
lister to those of the Eighteenth
Amendment, from birthstone and Bit
ter sectarianism to healthy-minded
ness and church federation,-th are
few of the milestones of progress
noted.
1t is an idyllic picture that Miss
Sanford gives of the simple home life
| without wealth or display but happy
| in love and service. Does the modern
home, with all its convenience and
| freedom equal the "sweet together
ness" of the old New England home
Under her words the conviction
grows that the home is the place in
| which human souls are fashioned to
fine issues. How splendid is her tri-
| butte to the plainest home in the sub
| urbs with it's lawn and it's trees, its
flowers and children! 1t was in such
| home that Miss Sanford acquired
her love of literature and the creative
enthusiasm that informed her life.
What she says about teaching in
noteworthy. limiting that her most
valuable education came from her
mother, she says that in any teacher
it is the consciousness of mastery that
teacher is worthy of it's hire, but its
gives success. Such mastery in a
influence far outreaches the visible
rewards.
The very brevity of this unfinished
| autobiography gives its preciousness
| AS one follows the gracious record
the tones of her voice come back and
/ the living personality of remarka-
bic woman shines through the pages
In all to brief compass these chapters
shows the primal elements of simpli-
city, high moral purpose and idealisn
that went to the making of our Ma
ton. And these values will keep Am
erica strong, if they are cherished
Miss Sanford realized this. She obey
ed at eve the voice obeyed at prime

PLANT ENSILAGE
CORN EARLY
Crop for Dairy Cows Is Greatly I'm
proved by Being Planted Before
Smaller Variety.

In many of the Northern states en-
silage is the chief support of the
daries, and two kinds of corn are
grown-a small variety for grain and
large variety for ensilage. That's
right.
In many of these states the ensilage
variety is not planted till after the
planting of the small variety is fin
ished That's wrong.
The ensilage crop is usually wonder
fully improved by being planted two
or three weeks earlier than the small
variety. By being planted before the
days become long the ensilage varie-
ties form much more grain and mature
it very much better-United States

LIGHT PLANT SHED
 FIRED BY C|NDERS

A small shed south of the municipal light and power station was set afire about 2 o'clock this morning, and wooden water pipes belonging to the municipal system were damaged to the extent of about $125. According to Fire Chief R. c. Dickerson, the flames started from a pile of cinders dumped near the shed. Spreading from the pile, the fire reached through coal bin and then reached the shed. The main damage sustained was on the water pipes, which had been stored there for repairs on the system as needed. Supt. E. N Leverett said the damage would amount to about $125.
 The novelty of having a fire right at his door rather confused Chief Dickerson, it was said. Ordinarily when an alarm is given, the chief gets phone call from the telephone office and then the whistle is blown. This time, the man on duty at the plant saw the fire first and let go the whis- tie, and Chief Dickerson did not have his phone call for guidance when he awoke.
