In this period 16,628,299 pounds of hides and s kins, valued at $6, 574,854, were exported to foreign countries, compared witi only 4, 579,103 pounds in the corresponding months of 1918.

Calf leather valued at $19,767,829 was purchased bg foreign countries, while only $4,985,094 was bought in 1918.

Foreign buyers visited the Ameri can market during the -period and. purchased 14,095,755 pairs of shoes, valued at $46,740,615, which compares with 9,183,676 pairs in the same months of the year before. Local manufacturers assert that there is every reason to believe that the ex port figures of shoes for September October will be enormous. One concern alone reports the sale of 3,500,000 pairs of c hildren's a hoes to Great Britain. Another manu facturer reports Japanese b uying. One of the largest shoe manufactur ers in Japan, this manufacturer said,' visited his factory and purchased a number of pairs of s hoes simply for the purpose of copying American styles and then going after American trade. In regard to this foreign buying one of the largest shoe manufacturers in the world said yesterday: "Buyers from practically every country in the world are s couring the American shoe markets in search of a hoes. These buyers are willing to pay un heard-of prices on a spot cash basis, and naturally they are getting the goods from most manufacturers. While these foreign buyers are in E1NING? LOOK .OUT!

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Restored Her Health. I I Philadelphia, Pa.-"I was very weak,* always tired, my back ached, and I felt sickly most of the time. I went to a doctor and he said I had nervous indi r.estion, which ad cd to my .weak condition kept me; <worrying most of the time-and he said if I could not stop that, I could - not get well. I heardsomuchabout Lydia E..Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound my husband wanted me to try it. I took it fora week and felt a little bet ter. I kept it up for three months, and I feel fine and can eat anything now without distress or nervousness. "-Mrs. - J. WORTHLINE, 2842 North Taylor St., Philadelphia Pa. The majority of mothers nowadays overdo, there are so many demands upon their time and strength; the result is invariably a weakened, run-dowh, nervous condition with headaches, back ache, irritability and depression-and soon more serious ailments develop. It is at such periods in life that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will restore a normal healthy condition, as it did to Mrs. Worthline. evidence the price of shoes positively will not be lowered, but probably will be forced higher." This manufacturer does not believe that the American shoe companies will hold this foreign trade perman ently. "European countries," he said, "at present are p ractically bare of leather stocks because of the war, but these nations are working energeti cally in the breeding of cattle, and I 1 would not .be surprised to see much 1 foreign competition in the future. La bor in America is much higher than in the foreign countries, and in my mind will be the deciding factor as to whether this country will continue to lead the world in the making of leather goods." 0 WAR DEPARTMENT TO SELL LINTERS 325,000 Bales to Be Concentrated at Charleston. Washington, Nov. 7.-The War De partment anonunces that it has en tered into a contract with Ellis P. Earle, of New York, in accordance with which Earle will offer for sale the entire surplus of cotton linters held by the War Department, approxi mating 700,000 bales. Thme best mar ket prevailing, whether :oreign or do mestic, will receive the linters, which are to be disposed of within twelve months if possible. Earle's compensa tion was fixed at 2 1-2 per cent 9f the net p rices at which the linters are sold at points of government storage. The linters are now located in pow der plants and approximately 500 oil ii ills throughout the South. The War Department has issued orders for the concentration of approximately 325, 000 bales of linters at Charleston, S. C. The removal of the llnters to gov ernent storage will relieve the mills in .which they are now stored and en able these mills to handle the cotton crop) of the current year. The government holds about 700, 000 bales of such linters, and will keep) them in s torage pending their gradlual sale at the best market price prevailing, whether domestic or for (ign, within a period of one year, if ~poseible. The comment was made today by Representative Whatey that the order to store near~ly half of the Wai De puitment's supply of linters at Charleston shows how the great ter minals are bringing busIness to the p)ort.0 A. T. BROWN DESIGNATED Washington, November 7.-Alex andler T. Brown, of Cross Hill, Lau rens County, has been designated by Senator Dial first alternate to James E. Poore, Jr., of Columbia, for a vaa cant cadietship at West Point. Mr. Brown was gradluatedl from the Citadel at Charleston last June as fourth man in his class. He is at present in a inil itary academy at Los Angeles. ATT~EMPTS TO' JOIN .IN TREATY FIGHT Washington, Nov. 7.-,oseph Horan of New York, attempted to join with the United States Senate today in its debate on the peace treaty. "Gentlemen," he cried, rising from his sent in the gallery and drawing from his pocket an American flag, "I want to express--" and then the guards grabbed him.

Stock salesmen and other advocates of the "Million-a-Minute" get rich quick schemes have shown us many "SURE" roads to wealth. But have any of them shown a record equal to this: Original investment -.- ----.$ 9610.00 Returns in 13 years, cask .---.------...... 38,946.00 Net yearly income now ......_--- ............-- 5,000.00 Sixty-five head pure bred cattle and 140 acres farm all from original invest ment, besides the cash worth ....-....-..--. 54,000.00 Fox Brothers, of Waukesha County, Wisconsin, started 13 years ago, on a rented farum, to raise theropghbred Guerusey Cattle. They inyested $960.00 for one cow, two heifers and one bull, from this small .start they have received returns of nearly $90,000.00. We show above, from a photo, two of their present herd. They recently sold an umborn bull calf from any one of 4 cows for $600.00. They have sold a bull for $3,200.00, a cow for $2,000.00. There are many good breeds of cattle, Guernseys are among the best. We are trying to show that an investment in pure cattle cattle will pay the farmer better than any "blue sky" even if the promoter's promises would come true. Did any of them 'ever come true? We have money to finance a start in pure bred cattle, but not in "promotion stuck schemes." This is one way to fight the boll weevil. Let's talk it over. W. C. DAVIS. President 'R. (.
