Shoe Mems Trade War
Three Repair Shops Are Now Out for
Public Patronage

A lively episode in Chapel
Hills commercial life, these last
three or four weeks, has been a
trade war between rival shoe re-
pairers.
w O. Lacock, who has held
the fort here for several years,
found himself faced, early this
month, by two competitors. w.
c.. Riddle, who used to be in
partnership with him, set up a
shop in the rear of the Chapel
Hill Hardware store, and j. G.
White established the Modern
Electric. Shoe Shop and Shine
Parlor next door to the Pick
wick.
The newcomers put into effect
prices lower than had prevailed
here before their arrival. Mr..
Lacock Immediately brought
down his prices to their level,
and somewhat lower for one or
two claSsifications.
Moreover, he started a daily
guessing contest, which will go
on until November Is. Dollar
bills are piled in his window,
and every day the person who
makes the closest guess of the
total amount in the pile gets a
pair of half soles put on his
shoes without charge. Of course
the amount of money in the win
dow is changed daily. Mr..
White has countered by an
nouncing the free gift of a shine
ticket for every so cents spent
in his shop. Mr.. Riddle has not
yet embarked upon advertising
projects of this sort, but is let
ting people know about his shop
through handbills and in other
ways.
So they are all three out after
the trade, and all of them seem
to be getting a lot to do. If
the streets and sidewalks of
Chapel Hill remain as they are
now, it is fair to assume that
the populations shoes will wear
out rapidly enough to keep three
repair shops busy.

Annual Cake Race Tomorrow

The annual All-University
Cross Country Run will take
place tomorrow (Friday). The
runners will start from Emer-
son Field at 3 p. NJ, follow a
course around the village, and
return to the starting point.
This event is known as a cake
race because the prizes are cakes
contributed by the women of
Chapel Hill. The cakes are laid
out on a big table. The winner
takes his choice, the second man
the choice of the cakes that are
left, and so on until all the cakes
are gone.
