The High Cost of
Shoes Gets Wallop
"Ten cents to twenty-five cents a
pair Is enough profit for any muker
of work shoes," says Geo. It. Harsh,
head of the llarsli & Chapllne Shoe Co.,
of Milwaukee, makers of the famous
I.ion Brand and Steven Strong work I
shoes for men and boys.
"For 15 years we have been trying i
to make the best work shoes in the i
country. To do this we even had to |
put up our own tannery, buy the hides
and do our own tanning, as we could

shoes.
"That we have come close to silo- j
eess Is evidenced by the sale of more ]
than 10,000,000 pairs through thou- j
sands of stores. Last year alone the
shoe buying public bought more than i
$6,000,000 worth.
"Lion Brand Shoes are so popular j
we could probably go right on doing j
business through the stores. But I
believe there should be fewer profits
between the producer and user," con-
tinued Mr. Harsh.
"By selling direct to the wearer we
out out the profit of the tanner, Jobber
and store keeper, as well as the sales-
man's expense, and are able to save
the buyer of Lion Brand work shoes
from one dollar to three dollars a pair.
"It took a lot of courage to change
our selling policy, but we believe the
buying public Is ready for the change
and that our action In stepping over
the middleman to the user will be fol-
lowed by other large manufacturers of
many other well known quality prod-
ucts.

My Times are In Thy hand.— Psalm HI:16.
SAD and solemn are the last hours
of the dying year. Only a few
months ago a New Year was
given unto us, fresh and pure from
God's great storehouse of time. It
has spent its life upon the earth, and
Its footprints will never be effaced.
The departing year has brought to us
God's numberless blessings; It has
seen many noble deeds done, and it
has seen progress in many depart-
ments of life.
The passing of another year must
emphasize to every thoughtful person
the swift flight of time. Looking
backward over the past years of our
life they seem to shrink to the size
of beads strung around a child's neck.
Seeking an 'u.age of man's career, the
prophet sees his days swifter than a
weaver's shuttle; his years swifter
than an arrow, curving as it rises to
Its fall. What is man's life? he asks.
It is a cloud dissolving in the sun-
shine. It is a summer brook swollen
by sudden rains, but soon running out
and leaving the stones bare again.
It is a tale that Is soon told.
These last days of the old year urge
us to husband well the time that Is
still given us. To a shrub a year
means only a leaf; to the vine, a clus-
ter; to the tree, a new ring of wood.
I5nt to a man a year means a large
portion of his life which has been
used or wasted. Youth often unthink-
ingly throws all responsibilities on the
years to come. To him everything
seems possible In the future. Then h«
thinks to have time for education.
Then he will practice economy and
thrift, let the present be prodigal as
it may. The morrow will suffice for
the forming of habits and the building
of character. So dazzled by the fu-
ture the youth allows the years to
slip through his bands, and the result
is a man who Is an intellectual Infant
and a moral feebling. As you pause
now nnd think over the past, you
must realize that the morrow holds
no harvests which the laborers called
yesterdays did not sow and cultivate.
There was an ancient custom of put-
ting an hourglass into the coffin of
the dead to signify that their time
had run out—a useless notification to
them. Better put the hourglass Into
the hand of every living man to show
him how swiftly the sands of life do
flow. But, after all, time Is of value
only as we make the best use of it.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts,
not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs.
He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts
the best.
The old year may hold our many
failures, many disappointments, many
hitter regrets. The New Year holds
out to us hope and promise, for my
limes are In Thy hand, O Lord. It
should comfort us when we think of
the brevity of our years, to realize
by contrast the length of God's years.
We have but a short time to work,
and It Is well to remember that In
order that we may be dllllgent. But
God has a whole eternity In which
to work, and It is well to remember
that also, so that we may cease from
fretfulness and Impatience at the slow
progress of Ills kingdom among us.
.lesns Christ has not ceased from Ills
redemption of the world, nor lias God
been defeated In His plans for hu-
manity, for the times of men- and
nations are In His hand.
For most of us the memory of the
past is a chamber of discontent. Let
therefore the old year bury from
sight Its story of sin and sorrow and
failure. Let there be sincere repent-
ance for the follies of the past, and
then let a new man step forth to meet
with hope and determination the glad
New Y'ear which God desires shall be
a blessed year for every child of
earth. When God forgives, He for-
gives utterly. lie casts man's sins
"into the depths of the sea." Why
then should memory thrust its hooked
pole Into the sea to dredge the bot-
tom and bring up by the locks some
pale memory wide* God has plunged
into the ocean of forgetfuiness? Man's
life is not in the past, but in the
days to come, for our times are In
His hand.
Anfl how many of US are waiting
for the opportunities of the coming
year? With how many of us is It the
unuttered hope that tomorrow may
be free from the sins and the mis-
takes of yesterday? I pray God that
for you it may be so. Your times are
in His hand, and let your Father
shape the new year for you; let Him
rule it, and strive with the help of
the Spirit to walk the way of His
commandments. "Forgetting the
things that are behind, let us press on
for the prize of the high calling In
Christ Jesus."
The passing year alRo must remind
us that there will come a last year for
each one of us. Perhaps this coming
year is your last. Are you therefore
ready to see the curtain rise upon
eternity? Are you now ready to hear
the midnight cry, and to enter Into
the marriage supper of the King's
Son? Our times are in God's hand,
and no man knoweth what day or
hour he may be called from his labor.
Though we live to be counted among
the oldest inhabitants we must depart
at last. Others have gone before us
and are going every day, and yet we
seem so eager to forget our own mor-
tality. Nay, let us rather look for-
ward with anticipation, believing that
God will then give us a New Year
which shall be without sin and tears
and sorrow and pain, where love shall
rule, and where happiness shall be
complete in the fullest service to our
God.
The New Y'ear bells will soon be
ringing. Do not fail to make some
personal preparations for its coming.
Make resolutions for the future on
the basis of your experience of the
past Every heart knows Its own
needs, and its own weaknesses. Be
not discouraged by past failures, but
pray to God earnestly to help to fu-
ture successes. Take this New Year
as a holy gift from a gracious Father
and begin to live it carefully and
prayerfully. Do not strive to carry
the burdens of future months, hut live
each day as if it were the last and
the best. In spite of all the ills which
we see in the world today, let us be-
lieve that the New Y'ear will he a
blessed year to all mankind, and let
each one of us do our uttermost to
make It so. May God look upon us
all In mercy, and may He let this
New Y'ear
Ring out old shapes of foul disease.
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old.
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Encircling Wreath of Fancy
Bedecks New Year's Day
A Fire Every Minute.
A lire rages somewhere every minute
of every day In Ihe United States.
Most of them are preventable, Charles
E. Case, a New York Insurance man
and fire prevention expert, told the
chamber of commerce at a "Fire Pre-
vention" luncheon at the Hotel Balti-
more. The epidemic of preventable
fires the last year was attributed by
Mr. Case to easy-going wastefulness
because of prosperity. "It is as if the
people of the United States squandered
$900,000 and CO human lives each
day," he said.

EVER since the dawn of time the
happenings of New Year's day
have been said to foretell the
luck of the coming months. For there
Is a vein of superstition in the human
race, and all of us share in its delu-
sions. There is no day in the year
without Its encircling wreath of fancy;
this first day of them &U Is wondrous-
ly bedecked. Not even Christmas is
so ancient, and so world renowned,
and It stands first in the folklore of
every language. On New Y'ear's day
in ancient Egypt, when as yet the
pyramids were unbuilt, there were
grand processions and smoking sac-
rifices. In Sparta It was celebrated
by the consecration of youths to mili-
tary service.
Among the Saxons and old Germans
were great rejoicings, feastings and
carouslngs on this day, and the was-
sail bowl passed merrily around. This
was a great vessel filled with ale,
sugar, fruits, nuvmeg and spices. There
was enough for the whole community
and the great bowl ran freely ail day.
In all countries there have been
charms and devotions peculiar to the
opening year, for a desire to peer into
the future Is really common to us all,
no matter how we affect to deride the
idea. The Bible charm was one famil-
iar to our grandfathers, and was used
by religious people even down to the
present generation. It is solemn r.nd
interesting, and well worth recording.
"When the clock strikes 12 on New
Year's eve, pick up your Bible and
open it at random, and walking hack-
ward to a table, lay th« book down,
faco open, upon It. Turn around three
times, take up the book, rer.d the verse
upon which your thumb falls. It will
tell your fate for the coming year.
For instance, if it should be: "And
He will love thee and bless thee and
multiply thee," or "If I take the
wings of the morning and dwell in the
uttermost parts of the earth," we ex-
pect a very pleasant year. But conceive
the horror of one who should open
to these words: "So he died, and was
gathered to his fathers," or "In hell
he lifted up his eyes, being In tor-
ment."
In Switzerland the maiden borrows
her mother's wedding ring, ties it with
a hair from her own head, then sus-
pends It j.,st over the rim of a tea-
cup, all the while counting rapidly the
years of her own age. Of course the
hair-hung ring trembles and knockn
against the cup, and each little tap
counts one year before she will wed;
so she must count very fast, or be
shocked at the number of taps. In
Norway the kind of fish caught on
the day foretells "fisherman's luck"
for the coming year. In rural New
England almost avery locality has
some special charm of fortune-telling
of Its own for this day of fate. The
Chinese have used cards for thou-
sands of years, and the queerest thing
In the world Is a Chinese New Yer.r's
card. It gives all the complimentary
titles of the owner, and is almost as
large as a wall map. In olden times
it was the custom for tenants to give
New Year's gifts to their landlords,
and every loyal subject owed a gift
tc Ills sovereign. We read how g<-cd
Queen Elizabeth wns such a favorite
that her gifts were marvels of taste
•and extravagance. In our country we
give presents on Christmas day, hut
In France they are reserved for the
first of the year.
Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper
Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head-
ache an : Iors of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
ble and may be despondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
<vhat Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten centB to Dr.
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y., you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
arge size bottles at all drug stores.—Adv.
Remarkable Showing Made at Interna-
tional Live Stock Show at Chi-
cago—Carried Off Sweepstakes
for All Wheat.
Something that lends emphnsls to,
and affords definite proof of, the gen-
erosity of the soli and climate of
western Canada, Is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
nnd stock raisers of that country, at
many of the lending stnte nnd county
fairs In the United States this season.
Particularly Is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter*
national Live Stork Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appenl the fact that
Canatfa carried off the sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out of a total
of twenty-five prizes. Panada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion-
ship wns won by a farmer living In
the Province of Albertn. Canada also
was awartled the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Torn out
of n totnl of ten prizes. Cnnada took
first, second, third, sixth nnd seventh.
Not only In grains did Cnnndn prove
her right to rank as a first-class agri-
cultural country, but she carried off
many prlr.es for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs, a partial list of which fol-
lows :
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns;
also In the College Special class. Can-
ada gained first fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses, Grand Championship for
Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham-
pionship for American bred mare, ns
well as first for three-year-old Clydes-
dale stallion, first for one-year-old
Clydesdale stallion, nnd second for
the aged class.
Ill the Belgian class. Canada ob-
tained first i.nd reserve for Champion-
ship Belgians, as well as second for
Aged stallion.
Sheep, Canada obtained Champion-
ship for block, male and femule, In
addition to first prize in all group
prizes.
Hogs, In the Yorkshire class Canada
wns very prominent, taking the Cham-
pionship for pen of Yorkshires, nnd
championship for best single barrow,
ns well ns ovei twenty first, second
and third prizes in other classes of
Y'orkshlres.
Willi regard to the live stock shown
It must be borne In mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places hi*
reliance, but on the wonderful onta
nnd hurley grown In western Canada,
supplemented by the native grasses,
of which a most artistic display was
made by our neighbors to the north.
Canada bus conclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises, but ran also take
prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed. and till*
in open competition with the world.
