The political squabble at Ft. Wayne continues to be a very absorb!ng4|uestion, it one would believe what the i papers there say each day. It's a' long time until election day and the; jMople may get tired of the whole affair. Tile steel trust earned forty-one I million dollars the last quarter and I tno dividends the last quarter and 1 those of last by sixteen million.

There was an cutpouring of a genuinely spontaneous feeling of national brotherhood a| welcome that went to material things' ; and lavish entertainment—a unitey of I view on the serious business of the tour that will have its commulativj effect in hastening the day of real work on the greatest good road plans. Lest we underestimate the value of these supposedly frolicsome tours, let' it not be forgotten that they, no less i than the other and more direct ways ol business-getting and business-keep-ing, establish that camaraderie be tween cities and states that makes lor more orders to the sales department, more men in the factory, more cash in the bank and more names in the directory.—lndianapolis Star. WORK OF RED SPIDER. s Causes Damage to Trees at This Sea eon, Says State Entomologist. Many of the shadetrees in cities and; towns over the state are now beginning to show the appearance charae-] teristic of the work of the red spider. This is a yellowing or browning of' the foliage caused by the removal ot j the juices of the leaves. As the red : spider thrives best in dry weather, many persons have believed that the I appearance of affected trees is due te ■ a lack of water in the soil. Occasionally the damage to the trees is so severe that defoliation results. In addition to the common shade trees, the I red spider also attacks many garden ■ plants like beans, muskmelons and squaches, and it is found on almost all greenhouse plants. The tiny mite causing this damage is only about 1-1-000 of an inch long. A magnifying glass is therefore . very helpful in locating it The is usually pale yellow-green in color.! with an evident dark spot on each j side of its middle. Sometimes it is' reddish or orange in color. On marry I plants the red spider forms a delicate | silvery web, but this is not noticeable on most shade trees. The most successful remedy thus far proposed fori this pest is a spray composed of commercial lime-sulphur and flour paste.' made* up at the rate of IV. gallons ot lime sulphur and 4 gallons of flout taste, to 100 gallons of water.’ I'o ; make the flour paste, mix up a cheap I grade of wheat flour in water in the I I proportion of one pound of flour to lone gallon of water, being sure that I Ino lumps are formed. Flour paste j i alone at the rate of 8 gallons of paste I to 100 gallons of water .is also recj < impended. Such sprays are useful I only on smooth leaved plants. Another spray that has produced good results is one composed' of about 10 pounds of flowers of sulphur to 100 gallons of water with 8 pounds of soap added to spread the spray overs jhe leaves. Case should be exercised) to direct the spray on the under side of tlie leaves, as tills is where the I creates tinfestation occurs. An ex- ! cess of moisture is alo said to be fg I lai to the red spider. Tim gurd»u i hose, therefore may be turned on many I I plants to advantage. Democrat Want Ads Pay.

RISING PRICE OF SOLE LEATHER I One Reason for High Cost of Shoes—■ ' Numerous Other Causes. I Some time ago a shoe retailer, a I leading shoetrade publication of Bos-; ton, Mass., made an investigation of tne increasing cost of shoe materials i and stated its conclusion that of all i 1 the increases in cost of various shoe! > materials as shown in different cost) J tables covering periods of five years J 'or more as published by different ; authorities that by far the largest in-11 t reases have occurred during the past;, s twelve months. ■, It was recognized, that there had; I been an upward tendency in the price ; of shoe materials for several years. I but it was emphasized that the sharp- 1 I > st advances, totalling a large proportion of the whole, had occurred during ; . the preceding twelve months. In the matter of sole leader alone,; the investigation showed that the belter tannages of sole leather were from five to seven cents per pound higher than similar grades sold for'one year previous. Relatively speaking, a , pound of leather means a pair of soles, or in other words a cent on a pound of stock means a cent on n pair of solos, so that a raise of five so seven cents ]>er pound means a raise of five to seven cents per pair of solos. But it was stated also that high ! priced sole leather means higher cost . lor insolds, half soles, full double' soles, etc. This is one reason for higher cost I shoes, but there are many others including increasi'd prices lor upper leather, lor fabrics, atid for all other kinds of shoe materials and supplies are coating more. All of these conditions are reflected in the prices of shoes which are higher today than one year ago and must b" higher next year than they are todays It is not a welcome prophecy, but wo may as well taco it because the ; decreasing supply of leather on the: one hand and the multiplied uses for. leather in other industries together with the need of shoes for an- increas-j ing population must mean nothing else than a constantly increasing price i lor shoes. _ o_ FOR SALE—Four milch cows.
