PRICES ON LEATHER AND LEATHER GOODS In conversation with a leading leather goods dealer in Denver a few days ago, the writer asked him regarding the volume of his trade and received the reply that there was plenty of business but no profit. Prices on saddles and harness had been made and advertised on the basis of the cost of leather a year or two ago, the price of leather had advanced to such an extent as to make it impossible to furnish the manufactured articles at the former prices and make a profit, and still it was impossible for the dealer to advance prices with out creating much dissatisfaction among customers. The Lincoln Trade Review of Saturday, January 15, in its com ments on conditions of trade has the following to say regarding hides and leather : , During the last year the hide market had one of Its greatest records In advancing prices almost continuously. Prices during i the twelve months advanced to levels never reached before. The highest prices were reached about th middle of the year, and since that, time there,, have been lower quotations, but as a whole ad- , vances have been maintained. War orders for leather were large ly responsible for the great" advances In hides. Shoes and other t manufactured leather goods have been in remarkable demand, and this has reflected directly on the raw material. The year 1915 '. was the most active year In the history of the leather business; tanners were unusually busy and the export trade made unusual demands all around. While the domestic trade was quiet up to the last three months of the year, the big advance in demands In, that line only added to the activity of the leather market. The 1 exports of sole leather have been over four times as great in vol ume In 1915 as they were In 1914; upper leathers over double In export trade, and shoes for export were nearly double in volume i In the first nine months of 1915 compared with 1914. Harness and saddles sent abroad represented almost entirely new business. Harness and saddles exported In the first nine months of 1915 1 were valued at $16,951,467. For the same nine months in. 1914 ' exports of harness and saddles only totaled $617,489. Leather goods outside of boots and shoes made almost the same phenomen al gain. The boot and shoe business has ben-- Mve along with , the leather business; especially the domestic tra.. fr the last few months of the old year shows a remarkable awakening in the vol- f ume of business. ThiB domestic demand, coupled with the large foreign orders; have put boot and shoe factories in every section of the country on a full-time basis, and In a large number of ens- , s night and day shifts are employed. Wholesalers are anticipat- i Ing not only a continuance but an advunce in the large domestic demands of' the present, and boots and shoes are certain to ad- vance in price along with the advances in hides and leather that I i have been so noticeable. SLANDERING THE ALMIGHTY Over the bur pond, in Europe, they are slandering God by claim ing His help in the unspeakably horrible human butchery that is tak ing place in the world's most gigantic and destructive war. The civilized idea of the Almighty concedes that, for reasons that may not be fully understood by mankind, He permits, for the present, many things that He condemns: but ment of diabolical crimes, is to make of Him in our thot a monster the equivalent of the heathen deities wote.es as fiends. The God of the whether Greek Catholic, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Angelican; or any other church, is the embodiment of love, peace, good will. In point of numbers involved, the present European war is the most supendous crime of all the world 's history. Whichever sidf may nave been the aiMrressor in prdciuitating the war, both sides are re sponsible for its continuation, for the reason that neither has made a proposal for arbitration; by means of which peace, honorable to both ides, could beRteedilv brot about. Both ides are engaged in the struggle with the determination to crush the other. To claim that God is helping one side against the other, or to pray for the success of either side in the wholesale and inflict upon generations yet unborn a grinding, dergad- ing poverty, is not a pious act, no such religion is heathenish, hellish, Christian intelligence of the world, God. In case of controversy, whether between individuals or nations, the prayer of the true Christian, no matter of what nationality or de nominational preference, will not be that one man may succeed in an effort to murder another, or that, in the disaster of war, either side may win by the wholesale murder of the other. The followers of the Man of Galilee will not want disputants to settle their differences by "fighting it out," but will advise essary, for the sake of peace; they council may be brot about between belligerent nationn of Europe, that ful holocaust of war, the like of seen, and will never see again, if the are followed in the conduct of the tween individuals. AGRICULTURAL AND Bulletin No. 166 of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, de voted to Nebraska crop and live contains a large amount of information that will delight the person who is given to comparing statitsics era Nebraska shows up well in the in the oats and potato statistics. Dawes countv stands highest an average of 59.5 bushels, while with an average of 56.2 bushels. in other western Nebraska counties Deuel, 50; Garden, 30; Morrill, Sioux, 48. Box Butte may be said to be the banner potato county of the state, based on the amount grown and the quality of the spuds. Altho the number of bushels is exceeded by one county, Cherry, Box Butte leads the state in quantity in proportion to size of the county. Cherry county is credited with 1.015.393 550, but Cherry is nearly six times latter 's yield is more than four It is larger than the yield of any largest in proportion to size. HELPED TO CONVICT HIMSELF Commonly when the evils of the harm that comes to those who Nebraska, for tranamtaalon through to attribute to linn an endorse that are described by their de Christian, if he be a true Christian effort to snuff out human lives by matter what name it may assume; blasphemous; it is an insult to the and a slander of the Almighty arbitration and compromise, if nec will pray that by some means authorized representatives of the will put a speedy stop to the aw which the world has never befon1 principles of the Prince of Peace affairs of nations, as well as be LIVE STOCK STATISTICS stock statistics for the year 1915 of that kind by counties. West tables. This is particularly true in the vield per acre of oats, with Box Butte county is a close second The average yield per acre of oats was as follows : Cheyenne, 49.1 51.6; Scotts Bluff, 50; Sheridan, 50 bushels to Box Butte county's 737 as large as Box Butte, so that the times as much in proportion to size other county in the state and the lying are mentioned, one thinks o are the objects of misrepresents lion, when, as a matter of fact, it often happed that the persons who indulge in falsehood are the ones who suflVr tin- worst consequences from it. ' In the trial at Omaha of Arthur Hauser, alleged murderer of W. IL Smith, which resulted in conviction by the jury last Saturday, the evidence against him, altho'quite strong, was largely circumstantial. In his defense the prisoner claimed an alibi, testifying that he was not in Omaha either on or about the date of the murder. It w as positive ly proven by direct testimony that he was. In swearing to a lie on this point, he undoubtedly weakened his own defense. If UauBcr really is innocent of murder, as he still persistently claims, he can blame himself to some extent for helping to secure his own conviction by resorting to lying, when a better defense could have been mado by telling, the truth regarding his whereabouts. REPORT CREATES COMMENT The report of the Alliance Commercial Club, published in The Herald, January 6, has attracted a good deal of attention and elicited some favorable comment. Referring to it, The Lincoln Trade Heview has the following to say: ' The activity of the Alliance Commercial club Is known the state over and it required two columns in the Alliance paper to give a summary of the work of the club for the past year. Space prevents any possible enumeration of the large number of activi ties that the club Indulged In during the year. Secretary Fisher keeps publicity regarding Alliance and the club work there and he found that the local papers and the papers In the large towns ov er the state and many cities, had contributed 10,614 lines of good advertising matter of Alliance during the year. The employment bureau of the Alliance club was an active adjunct during the year and the amount of mall Bent out from the secretary's office totaled many thousand circulars and letters.
