Are Denominated
AS Disturbers

In the week before last Enterprise
some one was praising very highly
the work Of some so-called ministers
of the gospel who were preaching
close to Sidonia, If they are the
same ones who were at Gleason
through the winter | would like, as
some one has given us kind invita-
ton to come to hear them and to
use the language of the street
"blown them sky high" to give my
opinion of their preaching in, our
community at Mt. Zion. They first
gain your good will by preaching
some flowery sermons of a general
nature which most anyone will like;
then they state that we as nation
have never heard the gospel and
call our church leaders Pharisees,
and, holding up his hand, said he
could count the christians in the
aud .ence on one hand, if there were
any. In one of his sermons one of
them stated that in the last day
there would be more saloon keepers
in heaven than preachers, and that
now we had heard the gospel we
would be lost if we did not heed it,
One thing that some like so well
about his preaching is that they
won't take money in public and
challenge the right to have a paid
ministry. They are not married
and seem to discourage preachers
being married. In fact, they unchris-
tianize the whole christian world.
Let all that wish, go to hear them,
but my advice as one who lives in the
community where they have preach
ed is, that you weigh the matter well
before leaving the teaching Of our
forefathers and let me add something
/ was about to forget: The first
thing that most of Their followers
do is to have their names removed
from the church book. Their preach
ing seems to be for church members
alone. One man offered a dollar
for every sinner they had converted
and hasn't gotten any takers yet.
Here we have brothers against
brothers, and so on down the line,
who hardly speak to one another on
account of the preaching. Will close
for this time and come again.
Yours, truly,
MAURICE NEIL.

WHERE'S THE ENTHUSIASM?

A great many people are asking,
where is all the money that was in
this country couple of years ago?"
We want to inquire, "Where is all
the enthusiasm and pep and energy
that obtained just a few months
ago?"
Of course, it is possible that a
gieater portion of the energy has
been consumed and burned out, but
we ought to be able to arouse en-
thusiasm to a degree at least that
would spur us on to greater efforts.
If there ever was a time when pep
and enthusiasm were needed that
time is now at hand, but we fear
we have allowed ourselves to be-
come downcast, pess mistic and in
different.
This KIND OF disposition positively
will not get US anywhere. What we
need-all Of us-is to step upon the
accelerator just little harder, a
little more often and speed up as
we did in the days when everything
was going our way. We need to alb
sorb some of the boys pep and en-
thusiasm. If we don't things are
going to become mighty gloomy for
us.
This applies to the business man,
the professional man, the farmer
and the manufacturer-all have got
to take on new life to what we
have manifested during the past few
months of business depression.

belCand Telephone Company now
appearing in the Enterprise, means
that patrons of that company at

July 1, be required to pay for SER

those patrons not stand for it.
There is just one line connecting
the two places and at best the SER
wee is bad enough, growing out Of
congested condition, and if patrons
are required to pay, then they want

Large Profits
in Shoe Trade

Washington, June 14.-Large
profits taken by every one in the
shoe business from the tanner down
to the retailer, were disclosed today
by the federal trade commission in
report to congress.
The trade commissions report was
in response to congressional reso-
luton directing an investigation of
the high shoe prices which prevailed
during 1918 and 1919.
Earnings Of SO tanners and shoe
leather whose production in 1918
was IS per cent of the total produc-
ton were 1871 per cent on invest
ment, "and 1913 per cent in 1919.
OF these tanners the earnings of %
companies tanning kid feathers, with
production in 1918 about 70 per
cent of the total reported kid leath-
er production, were greatest, aver
aging 26.8 per cent in 1919.
Earnings of 241 shoe manufact-
urers with output in 1919 represent
ing about 81 per cent Of the total
output shown in the census of 1919
were 1872 per cent on investment
in 1918 and 1913 per cent in 1919.
Earnings of 32 typical shoe whole
salers and jobbers averaged about
% per cent on investment in 1918
and about 81 per cent in 1919; earn
ings of 46 typical shoe retailers
averaged about rs per cent in 1918
and about 80 per cent in 1919.
These earnings, like those of tan
hers and shoe manufacturers re
suited from vide margins of profit
taken on each shoe sold. The in
creased earnings in 1919 were due
to the fact that selling prices in
creased by greater amount and per-
centages than did COSTS"
While the high shoe prices were
largely attributed to large profits,
the report of the commission de-
clares that the whole situation was
"the result of abnormal conditions
and supply and demand arising from
the war, which were both economic
and psychological"
The onward march of prices and
profits was finally ended by the con-
sumers themselves with the "buy-
ers' strike" of 1920, the trade COM
mission finds.
"TRe failure Of leather prices and
shoe prices to decline extensively
as did hide prices after the buyers
strike" the commission finds may
be attributed to the fact that other
costs had not declined as much as
raw material costs, and to an APP
parent tendency to base selling
prices on actual rather than re-
placement costa policy inconsist-
ent with that applied in 1919 while
prices were advancing"
Many who gained large profits in
1919 felt the wrath of the public
in 1920 when the consumer failed
buy, and small profits Of the pre-
ceding year.
While the commissions investiga-
ton closed with the year 1920, it
holds that present prices of hides and
conditions existent in the industry
'justifying an expectation of still
future declines in the quoted prices
of leather and Of shoes"
