What Is a Mere Price of $40 fora
Pair of Shoes to the American Pubhc'

Prices of boots and shoes have
apparently no terrors for the Amer
lean public. The quantity of mate
rial being imported for their manu-
as much as last year. and the sums
being paid therefor four times as
much. The quantity of hides i'm
ported into the United States in the
seven months ending with January
1920. says a statement by the Ma
tional City Bank of New York. is
100000 jOunds against 100000
600 in the same months of last year
and the stated value S241. 200. 900
against S59.000.000 in the same
months of last year.
While not all of this material i'm
ported is used in the manufacture
of shoes, says the banks statement
the increase in those classes dis
tinctly used for shoe manufacturing
is very great, and this is true also
as to prices. The quantity of calf
skins imported in the seven months
ending with January. 1920. is 50.-
100000 pounds, valued at $4,000. .OOO
against less than 100000 pounds
valued at little over $1,000. 900 in
1919. while the average import price
in January, 1920, il 56.6 cents per
pound against 1874 cents at the ter
mination Of the war, November,
1918. Goat skins, used chiefly in
the manufacture of shoes, show a
total for the seven months ending
with January of S0,000.000 pounds
against 25,000,00O in the correspond
ing months of the preceding year,
and the price in January, 1890, 95.5
cents per pound against 67.9 cents
in January, 1919, and SAL cents in
the month in which the war ended.
Dry goat skins actually averaged
more than 81 per pound in January.
1920, as against an average OF over
26 cents per pound In the year pre-
ceding the war. Hides of cattle
show a total for the seven months
ending with January of 30s, ,000, 900
pounds against 140,000,000 in the
same months of last year, and the
average price per pound in January,
1890. 36.6 cents against 21.4 cents in
January. 1919. and 22.2 cents in No
vember, 1918.

GUSTAV A
INSTANTLY KILLED

Gustav E. Peterson met instant
death when the gas in a steel barrel
exploded Tuesday morning at $50
at a farm % miles north of Wolf
Point. The explosion was caused by
the heat of a torch Peterson was US
ing in soldering a leak.
There were no witnesses to the
accident, but the circumstances and
the facts as gathered by the coro-
ner's jury make plain the name of
death. The barrel stood on end and
Peterson, evidently without thought
of the consequences, applied the
torch and ignited the gas. The
heavy hoop that protects the end of
the barrel was blown off and an edge
struck him %squarely across the mid
die of the forehead, cutting a two
inch opening back nearly to the ears.
The hoop was found several rods
away. The barrel was driven into
the ground and the end blown out.

WATER VALLEY IS GOOD
AUTO SALES PLACE

In many respects is this town like
a city three times its size, but es-
pecially is this etru, when it come
to buying a car. The garages and
agencies here handle practically ev-
cry known car being sold on the
market today, and at the same prices
the dealers in the cities are turn
ing them out for. There is no need
of any one going to Memphis or
elsewhere for every car they might
want can be bought here in this
city. Also trucks of nearly every
make can be bought, and this part
of the automotive industry is grow
ing fast in this section. The farm
ers and Rural merchants are realiz-
ing that to meet modern day bust
ness methods they must have fas-
ter conveyance than the horse and
wagon, and many trucks are taking
the place of the old-stand-bys.
The progress-itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1918-1929, 1920-10-15

As announced last week, we have
a statement from the Mayor and
Board of Alderman on the light and
water question. and we respectfully
call attention to it.
The Board shows plainly that
some increased revenue must come
from some where, and the raise in
rates is absolutely necessary.
The report is as follows:
The Board of Mayor and Alder
men of the City of Water Valley
desire to submit the following re-
port of the Water and Light situa-
ton, showing why the increases in
the water and light rates are neces-
sary for the continuance of the ser
vice. 1t is not the intention of the
Board to try and make this branch
of the City service a money making
proposition, but it is only just and
fair to the tax payers who do not
enjoy the luxuries of this service
that the plan be on self
sustaining basis and therefore not
be necessary for them to contribute
