Editor Bartoo was a very pleasant caller at The Republican office Saturday. afternoon. The editor is looking mighty well he is enjoying the best of health.

F. P. Myer to Lead Fight On Freak Measure.
F. P. Myer, formerly of this place, but now of Danville, 111., where he has made good in the shoe world, has ken chosen to lead the fight on a bill cently enacted by the Illinois senate prohibiting the sale of shoes whose heels are above a certain height. The Danville Morning Press has the following to say: Frank P. Myer, of Danville, a member of the retail shoe firm of Cavanaugh & Myer, president of the Illinois Retail Shoe Dealers’ association, will head the army of retail dealers and manufacturers which will invade the dapital >f the state next Tuesday to fight the Kiiby low heel shoe bill, characterized by all manufacturers and retailers of the state and by many of the metropolitan papers, as the leading joke bill of the past decade. The Kiiby bill, which passed the Illinois senate on June 5, and which is up for final consideration by the house next Tuesday, prohibits the wearing of shoes with heels more thon one and three-eighlts inches in height. It provides a penalty for dealers selling or giving away shoes with heesl exceeding the height named m the freak measure. Whn the Kiiby measure was first introduced, the retail shoe dealers of the state considered it' a joke bill and paid little attention to it. When it passed the senate, manufacturers as well as retailers were stunned, for the bill, if put into effect, would mean tihe loss of more than a million dollars to the trade, and would force many retailers as well a» manufacturers into bankruptcy. Since the senate acted favorably on the ball Mr. Myer, ae president of the state retailers association, has been flooded with letters and telegrams, urging him to get busy and bend every effort to defeiat the bill. Mr. Myer immediately got busy and is in receipt of letters from Senator M. B. Baily and Representatives Holoday and Breen (Stating they would vote against the bill and do everything in their power to defeat it. Mr. Myer also has a letter from Governor Lowden stating he would give the bill his most dareful consideration before signing it. < . , ■, The president of the state retail dealers association last night declared the bill was “evidently fathered by a man entirely ignorant of the shoe business, and the requirements of women patrons from a Iress as well as an anatomical standpoint.” “The heels of ninety per cent of the stock of ladies’ shoes now on hands,” said Mr. Myer, “are in excess of one and one-half inches in height. The present styles of women shoes are the most salable and The most "acceptable to the wearer of any period of shoe selling. The foot of the average American woman requires a high arch shoe. The high arch must be fitted with a heel approximately ,or exceeding two inches in height give a proper tip to the balance of the toe. Should this one and three-eighth inch heel be forced on the women the resultant effect Would be a country full of brokenarched, flat-footed, cripples women. It is ridiculous to try to regulate the height of a womian’te shoe heel as it is to try to dictate the kind of a corset she should wear.” Mr. Myer will leave Monday night for Springfield, and will be met in that citv Tuesday morning by retail dealers and manufacturers from ail over the state. They intend to make a determined fight to defeat the bill and will have the support of the majority of the women of the state.
Young Couple Married In Hammond Saturday.
The friends and relatives of Miss Mabie Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Moore, of this city, and Arthur Ames, son of Ed Ames, of near Rensselaer, were surprised by the announcement of their marriage at Gary Saturday evening at 5 o’clock in the Presbyterian church. Miss Moore has been employed at the office of Ray D. Thompson for the past two or three years, where she gained • rruanv acquaintances. Mr. Ames is one of the enterprising young farmers of this community. The young couple as yet have not made their pain* for the future, but it is probable they will reside on a farm near this city. _ The Republican joins in extending to them the wishes for a life of happiness and prosperity. Miss Pearl Babcock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Babcock, went to Franklin, Ind., today, where she will attend the commencement of Franklin college. Miss Babcock was graduated from that institution in 1916 and for the past year has been a member of the Wheatfield high school faculty. She has been retained in that employment for another year. Company M continues to get recruits, three beinft added from Goodland Sunday. This company will be called together on August sth and will remain in Rensselaer for a period of about three weeks, during which time they will occupy tents, and if necessary the armory. After this they will be taken to a concentration camp somewhere is the southeastern part of the United States.
