The Paris Last Is a mans shoe made up of black kid glazed leather. It’s a plain toe—no heavy leather boxing to bear down on your toes and make them hurt. They are just a soft, plain toe. W e have this Paris model to meet a large and constant demand for a style in which comfort is the chief consideration. But the shoe is neat on any foot. Once tried and you will be well satisfied —and you will call again. Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller

— Indianapolis, Ind.—Up on the\ fifth 1 floor of the Board of Trade building 1 i 1 in Indianapolis is a little office through which much of the grain ac- , tivities of Indiana are conducted. On . I one side of the frosted glass door is 1 a painted sign reading: “Sawers i Grain Company of Chicago,” and on ■ the other side is another sign read ; Ing: 'Members of the Chicago Board ! of Trade.” Inside of the office is a large blackboard covered with figures that have an important bearing on the price In diana farmers receive for their agriI cultural products, and there each day may be seen a group of men whose financial interest in the fluctuating figures is portrayed in their anxious ! faces. McCray Member of Board. The office is a branch of the Sawers 1 Grain Company, which operates on the Chicago Board of Trade, that great institution that controls the price of grain in the United States and to a large extent throughout the ! world. The photograph of the stationery . used by the Sawers Grain Company : shows that Warren T. McCray, Republican candidate for governor of r Indiana, is a vice-presidertt of the firm, and that another Kentland man, ' William Simons, is president. In addition to being identified in an official capacity with a firm that deals 3 in grain “futures,” Warren T. McCray of Kentland, Indiana, is listed as being a member of the Chicago Board of Trade. Mr. McCray Is making his cami paign for election in Indiana on the ground that he is a farmer, yet he v has not lived on a farm since early t boyhood. Judge Hanley of RensseI laer in endering a decision in a case Mr. McCray was a defendant in found . that the candidate was “a banker, , elevator operator and real estate ’' owner.” Every farmer in Indiana is cog- ’ nizant of the influence the board of ■' trade has over his marketable prod's ucts, especially grain. Board Fixes Corn Price. Take for instance corn, in the production of which Indiana ranks j among the leaders. 5 The Chicago Board of Trade, of I which the Republican candidate for I governor Is a member, recently fixed tho price for December delivery of i that staple product at 80 cents a bushel.

Washington, and an international expert on production costs, has figured that it cost the farmer in the great corn belt an average of $1.40 to produce a bushel of corn in 1919. Os course, increased prices on farm machinery and other things essential to crop production makes the costs as much, or more, this year. Manufacturers as a rule sell with a one-third profit and the modern , day farmer is asking for the same privilege. Experts figure, therefore, that $1.40 is two-thirds and that the Indiana farmer should add another third, or 70 cents, for his legitimate profit. Hoosier corn should sell, they , declare, at $2.10 a bushel this fall. Statistics show that Indiana pro- ; duced 175,000.000 bushels of corn in 1919, and the crop this’pear is esti- I mated at 200,000,000 bushels. Means 60-Cent. Corn Here. Eighty cents at Chicago means that j the Hoosier farmer will receive 60 | t ents for his corn this fall, or $1.50 below what it cost him to actually I produce the corn plus his profit. On the basis of a production of 175,- I 000,000 bushels of corn this fall In- ' diana farmers will lose $262,500,000 as a result of the arbitrary price fix- ! ing by the Chicago Board of Trade, of which Mr. McCray is a member. With the 1920 government census ! report giving this state a population I of 2,930,544 the loss would cost every i ! man, woman and child in the state 1 $89.57. In an address at Smith Center, Kan., on October 13, Senator Arthur Capper, a Republican, scored the Chicago Board of Trade and referred to it as the “biggest gambling hell in the world.” ; “Years ago,” he said, “the people demanded suspension of the Louisiana lottery, but today, under the cloak of business respectability, we ’ are permitting the bitfgest gambling ■ hell in the world to be operated on , the Chicago Board of Trade. By comparison Europe's suicide club at Monte Carlo is as innocent and innocuous as a church bazar. Republican Flays Board. , “Several weeks ago I began work on a measure to abolish this injurious ■ form of robbery and shall shoot this 1 bill in on the first day of the next congress and will undertake to put this den of thieves out of business. “Because speculators ' are forcing • I . down the price of wheat the farmer who sold liis hogs and cattle at a , heavy loss, while meat still sells for war prices, is again made the goat, and the wheat raiser whose crop th'I year cost him- more for wages and : equipment than any other he ever t produced, sees the farm price of h's crop virtually cut in two with no real benefit to anybody except the brokerage firms who collect the commis- : sions.” among the ancient Egyptians as the symbol of marriage.
