No S3O Shoes There is a 10l of talk in the newspapers and by dealers about $30.00 shoes. There is no present basis for footwear at this price. Shoes bought on (he present market, which is the highest in history, can profitably be sold at from sl2 to sl6. Most dealers bought their shoes on a market that was several dollars lower than the present one and until these stocks are sold, can sell shoes from $8 to sl2 for high grade kinds, and less for the cheaper grades.

'A TRUE STORY Washington, Oct. 6. — New and 'clever schemes for inducing the investing public to part with its savings, j its Liberty Bonds and War Savings, Stamps in exchange for stocks olj worthies stocks or those of speculative or doubtful value constantly are being developed. One of the latest of these was disclosed recently in the trial of Ellsworth J. Green and his son, E. IT. Greene of Oklahoma City. This particular scheme was the moans of landing the Greens in Leavenworth Prison for five year 'terms, but not until many hundreds of i:i- ( vestors lost their sevings. The Greens though the Great Western Guarantee Investment Co. of Oklahoma City, promoted five oil com-1 panics. The original sales price of th- 1 stock in these companies was $1 a J share but by clever resale agreement . purchasers were guaranteed that the | Great Western Company as fiscal agent would resell the stock is desired at the end of six months to net, ’ he investor $2 a share or a profit of 100 per cent. As the date to fulfill this agreement drew near, stockholders were advised that the price cf the stock had reached $5 a share. Naturally if they came

to believe the stock was worth $5 1 they declined to accept the oppor-ll tunity to sell it for $2. For a time .stock salesmen reaped l| rich commissions but finally rumors I that the reports were misleading be- 1 I gan to be spread and at a company 11 banquet at Oklahoma City, it is charg-J ed that the Greens attempted to sell I out to the salesmen. At this point the government stepped in. arrested tho promotors and began to unravel evidence which finally landed the Greens ' in prison on the charge of using the mails to defraud. Now the stock-! holders are attempting to save what | is left of the assets of the companies. MAY MEET IN PARIS (United Press Service) Paris, Oct. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Colonel E.
