sents several insurance companies.

who are clean, outstanding, energetic
fellows entirely worthy of the con
fidence of Tie public" Mr.. Ragan
declared today. "All lines of in
surance which have been handled at
$50 Main street for the past eight
years will be continued as usual and
| ask for my successors the same
generous patronage which has al
ways been given to me.n..

SALUTE THE LITTLE RED SHOE
FOR DRESS WEAR, SAYS HEDDA

NEW YORK, N. Y, July p
Secretly we all have longings for
the little red shoe. It's Just as ma
tural for us to like the cunning
little cut-out slipper of colored
leather as it was for us to banker
for red-topped boots when we were
kids.
Now "a yery conservative person
would tal1Rs that colored shoes are
decidedivsGot in good taste. They
might even go so far as to call
them ''vulgar. - But - thank
Heayensl it isn't the conservative
persons who make or set the STYLES.
IL it were, we would be sorry
looking lot in conventional, drah
clothing, which changed little from
year to year.
Colored shoes are undoubtedly
pretty on some feet And this is
a peculiar fact-they tend to make
the foot appear smaller than dark
shoes. But one. can't wear them
indiscfiminately. That is where
the danger of the colored shoe lies.

McCabe Acreage
Brings Big Price

=
One of the recent real estate deals,
which shows far more effectively
than any amount of booster talk can
do just how prosperous this com
munity really is, was consummated
recently when Cynthia J. Reed sold
to Ogle G. Rendleman of Los An
geles a 4C-acre tract for the sum of
$17,500. The transaction occurred
directly between the two parties.
The tract in question is located in
the McCabc district southwest of
the ;city and adjoins Edgcwild, the
Watermanplaee. The soil is unusu-
ally fine, as is Indicated by the
price of $437.50 per acre. The inn
provemcnts on the place are negli-
gible, so the high price can be at
tributed to nothing but the actual
value of the land.

HARBOR AT BOSTON Is
CROWDED WITH BOATS

BOSTON, Jan. 6.-The greatest
World war is now at It's height at
this port. Work for 1000 longshore-
men can be had at the transatlantic
terminals, it is said. At the rate of
10 cents an hour for day work. and
$1.05 for night work, the pay en-
velopes of those now on the job are
well filled.
The boom started when coal laden
vessels from England and Wales ar
rived last summer. Coal has arrived
by millions of tons since the miners
strike in this country.
A score of ships laden with wood
pulp, mostly from the Scandinavian
countries, have arrived in the past
four weeks, and the army base and
the Commonwealth piers. where much
of the freight Is handled, are filled
to overlooking, according to vessel
owners.
British coal steamers have been
forced to wait week or 10 days
in the harbor before obtaining dock
fng facilities and many of them,
rather than delay that long, have
gene to other ports.
Since the closing of the ST. Lar
ence river there has been an in
creasing flow of grain through this
port. More than a million and a half
tons were shipped in one week in
December.
At the Commonwealth pier more
than 1000 men have been employed
and nearly 80 vessels were unloaded
during the past month. Passenger
space has been taken over for
freight.
Piles of canned goods, 80 feet high
and shipments valued at between
$10,o00,000 and $4,000, 900, have been
stored at the Commonwealth pier at
one time.
