TAKIN' BIG CHANCES.

9TH big cost of an education t'day
is shoes. I Wouldn' think O. takin'
my boys an girls out O. school an
putin EN- t work ii it wuzn' fer tn
outlandish price o. shoe leather. I'd
jest as soon try t. outfit cruise on
tn Amazon river as shoe a family,
declares Lon Moots. II guess ther
haint much left fer coal an the-aters
after feller lays in his winter shoes.
We hardly ever see anybuddy out
walkin' any more, fer they jest can't
afford it, But tn cost O. shoes
wouldn' be so outrageous if they'd put
tn stuff in EN-, real COW hide, in
stead O. Mexican leather, linoleum,
pasteboard, patent roofin' an other
compositions ~ shouldn' think reg
lar leather would be expensive, fer
a COW haint worth skinnin' anymore.
O. course Wesk1ns kbuS real shoes ii
we want, t. pay enough, but then
therd be nothin' left fer socks an
things that, gos with 'em. Elmer Will
kins come home from college this
week barefooted, carryin' his Saxo-
phone. He wuz gittin' on fine in his
studies, sociology, biology an crim-
inology, but mis- career has been
snuffed out by tn cost O. shoes. Boots
an shoes used t. come packed in long
fine cases, jest like dried Goldfish.
Each pair wuz held t'gether by a
stout cord t. keep 'em from gittin'
separated. If tn cord got broke it
wuz almost impossible t match em
up agin Ther wuz no lefts or
rights, an when left heel begin t
wear down tn boot or shoe wuz
shifted t. the right foot But they
wore like iron an tn only danger
wuz in gittin 'em wet. If they got
wet they shrunk an you had t. give
em way, or lay EN- aside fer any
children you might have comm on.
Only the most DARN women ever
went t. shoe store. Their shoes
came in dozen lots packed in big
green paSteboard boxes, side laces,
front laces an button an when tn
women folks needed shoes we'd jest
take a boxfull home, an they'd pick
em out jest like we used t select
spectacles out of a basket. They wuz
mostly made O. pebble goat an
suueaked like a new buggy fer tn
first year or two TIL big saver o.
shoe leather is tn auto. It's cheaper
t. take taxi than it is t walk. ]
don't see how folks who don't own
cars bear up under tn frightfpl cost
O. shoes, why they don't realize, why
it never occurs t. EN- t buy car
an apply tn difference t. home.
Ever'buddy used t. know what size
shoe they wore, but they don't mark
'em SKIES an seVens an sevenS an a
half, any more I asked Miss TaW-
ney Apple what size pumps she wore,
an she replied, I'm awful at figgerS,
but think 1 wear, 009357"
