j Unwarranted Slioe Prices.
1 The shoemakers are not disposed
ita hold out any hope of relief from
the present high prices of shoes. In
deed, they openly state that the
prices are going on up. It would
seem to the person who has to buy
jfcwo or three pairs of shoes a year
Jthat the price had now about reach
ed the limit, but the National Boot
and Shoe Manufacturers' Association,
which recently held a meeting in
Uew York, found out that there are
till unexplored heights, "wholly
fceyond war-time or any other expe
rience," to which prices will ascend
ascend this winter. Furthermore,
'"shoes sold in the spring of 1920
Must bring still higher prices'
The shoe wearer, of course, blames
,the shoemaker. He might blame the
retail dealer, but the dealer is likely
to be known to him, and believed
when he explains that he charges
Kore for shoes because he has to pay
ore for them.. The maker however,
je a remote person who can be blamed
with some degree of immunity. The
Jfcnufacturers, however, are not idly

Domingo's Pilipino
taking the blame. They denounce
the present price of shoes as "unwar
ranted." The prices of leather and
labor are, in their official statement
on the subject, "excessive, far be
yond any past experience." The ex
port trade and the country's prosper
ity are likewise blamed.
What the makers are afraid of
and they have good reason to be
is a panicky condition of the market.
They advise people not to Umy any
more shoes than they have to. They
advise dealers to cut down their
stocks to the minimum. The price is
high enough as it is, but there is no
telling where it will go if people lose
faith in the trade and begin to buy
against an imaginary shoe famine.
There is plenty of raw material, but
it costs more; and there is plenty of
labor, but, as the recent successful
strikes among shoe workers indicate,
it also costs more.
Overworked? Well Rather!
Isn't it strange how a word seems
to become a fashion, and is worked to
a finish? Now "daddy" is the one
that seems to be working over time.
You've all noticed it. It falls from
the mouth of, babies. Certainly from
time immemorial baby lips have lisp
ed, "da da," and awfully sweet it
sounds, too, but in some instances it
is almost ludicrous. When the user
of the infantile epithet is graying
at the temples perhaps, or even the
"silver threads" are pretty evenly
dispersed upon the poll," "father"
seems so much more appropriate,
doesn't it? But when one hears "dad
dy" from lips of a "back number"
who used to say "pa" and "ma," It
is queer certainly, like sweet bells
jangled out of time," almost. "Dad"
sounds good to me. From the mouth
of a youngster fresh from college,
"dad" is delightful showing a degree
of comrade, or companionship equal
to that of "the old man," but more
respectful.
We've all noticed how "wonderful"
is overworked. Now this is a "won
derful" word surely to express all
kinds of excellence in all sorts and
conditions of people and things, but
hasn't it been worn almost thread-1
bare? "Good-looking" is
otintviot-
word that is running neck and neck
with "wonderful." Just now it is the
very top of the mode. One hears of

TRAVELING MAN'S
ENCE
EXBERI-
You may learn something from the
following by W. H. Ireland, a travel
ing salesman of Louisville, Ky. "In
the summer of ,1888 I 'had a severe
attack of cholera morbus. I gave the
hotel porter fifty cents and told him
to buy me a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy and to
take no substitute. I took a double
dose of it according to the directions
and went to sleep. At five o'clock the'
next morning I was called by my or

stopping place, a well .man."

R. C. OLDHAM DOES NOT ADMIT
DEFEAT IN RACE.

crats of Kentucky Ronald C. Oldham,

State primary, does not concede vic
tory to W. H. Shanks, of Stanford,
whose name will go on the ballots as

MULE'S KICK IN NEW DRINK
A resident of Carmin, III., has a
new drink of such potency that the
police, while not sure that there was
alcohol in it, knew it had a tremend
ous kick, anyway, so they arrested
the inventor. ' So far as has been
learned the man put a pot on to boil,
making up four or five gallons at a
time, enough for a day, if too much
"company" did not call. The prin
cipal ingredients were corn meal,
raisins, sugar and a certain kind of
acid purchased at the drug stores.
This, boiled together, produced a
concoction that would make Bacchus
crazy. Those who know say one
drink would make one talk Chinese
fluently; after a second one. could
shave a grass hopper wITh a buzz
saw, and with a third one could
crack hickory. nuts on the forehead.
