On His Grain Corner
With Gambling Plea
Chicago, May 27, The United
States circuit court of appeals today

SHOEING ARMY EXPENSIVE
More Than 20,000,000 Pain of
Boots and Shoes Supplied bj
British Factories,
HIGH STSDAED IS REQUIRED
(Corrapondnca of tha AaaoeUtad Praa. )
London, April 30. More than 20,-
000,000 pairs of army boots and shoes
had been made and supplied up to
April 1 by British manufacturers to
the active forces of Great Britain,
France, Russia, Italy and Serbia since
the beginning of the war. Besides
this vast quantity, several million
pairs had been made for the home
defense forces of the British Isles.
This month another order for
J.OOO.OOO pairs was given in England
by the Russian government and con
tracts for Portugal, the latest entente
ally, and other friends of the western
powers are coming in daily.
According to the director of the
army clothing department, the re
sources oi ine nritisn snoe trade are
being employed, almost to the utmost
capacity, but the products of the fac
tories are at the same time giving
general satisfaction.
Use Only Best Leather.,
Shoe manufacturers engaged art the
contracts explained to the Associated
Press that the official control exer
cised over the delivered shoes insured

unimpeachable, while vouchers detail
ing the actual cost of the materials
must be kept at each factory, that ths
manufacturer may be kept within the
bounds of a fair profit on his con
tracts. The shoes supplied for the British
troops vary in size from No. 5 to No.
12, while many different shapes are
provided, according to the service for
which they are required. The ordi
nary infantry laced Hlucher is natu-'
rally the most in demand, but tens of
thousands of Wellington high boots
for cavalry and artillery also have
been called for. The aviators, too,
have a special kind of high boots and
the sailors of the fleet high boots of
differing shape, while "brogues," or
low marching shoes, are worn by the
kilted regiments ana sandals by some
of the Indian troops'
As a general rule there are thirty
six pieces of leather used in the put
ting together of a regulation infantry
laced shoe. To complete its manufac
ture sixty-eight processes are neces
sary. United States Invasion Repelled. .
Manufacturers here confess that to
the United States belongs the credit,
unwillingly it is true, of making it
possible for the British trade to meet
the great calls on its reaourecs. Just
twenty years ago there was an Amer
ican invasion of the shoe trade of
Britain, and the competition was at
once so successful that British manu
facturers were compelled, in their
own defense, to adopt the new Amer
ican ideas or go out of business alto
gether. The British shoemakers
quickly abandoned their Conservative
methods, introduced American ma
chinery and system and soon virtually
drove the American invaders out oj,
the market.
At the present moment the trade is
so busily engaged on military work
that private customer has to suf
fer, and the price of shoes for civil
ians has been advanced at least .30

Four Robbers Are
Taken Near Sidney
After Sharp Chase
Sidney, Neb., May 27. (Special.)
Thursday afternoon five reckless
soldiers of fortune, by means of a
few kind words, enveigled an un
suspecting Parmer, Morris Jessen by
name, to join them in a merry con
versation within the sheltering con
fines of the Cheyenne county fair
grounds, about a mile west of Sid
ney. Here the wolves straight-way
proceeded to fleece the lamb in the
good old Robin Hood fashion. They
secured about $3 from his trousers
pockets, and then stripped him of
most of his clothes In search of more.
Their efforts were rewarded by find
ing a roll of bills amounting to $50
neatly tucked in his shoe, immedi
ately tinder his big left toe. They
then bound him hand and foot willi
wire, gaged him with his own shirt
and suspenders, threw coat over
his face, divided the money over his
motionless body, and departed just
in time to board a westbound freight
slowly pulling out of the Sidney
yards.-
The young victim, who was some
thing of a combination possum and
contortionist, soon ritfgled one foot
loose from his shackles, In this con
dition he hopped out on the Lincoln
Highway, where he met a kindly far
mer, who unloosed his moorings.
Without hat, coat, shirt or shoes the
young man ran to Sidney, where he
notified Sheriff McDanicI, who hastily
impressed several automobiles into
service and asked the railroad com
pany to stop the train at Bronson,
The posse overtook the train just
as it reached the station, and the five
bandits jumped from the train. After
a lively chase, during which several
shots were fired, four of them were
captured. They gave the names of
Kay Johnson, F. II. James, Clyde
Hoover and Robert Weston. They
pleaded guilty to the charge of rob
bery and were held to await action
of the district court.

GERMANS USE HEATHER TO
DISPERSEPOjSON VAPORS
(Cirreapfini1ri', of ths Aandtd Praaa t
Paris, April 30. The largely In
creased exportation of heather from
Denmark to Germany was supposed
to have been due to tfi need of the
Germans for a substitute for forage.
It was also said that tea was made
from the heather btossotns,
A Germaii soldier, a native of
Schleswig, now explains that the
heather is placed in front of particu
larly exposed trenches and set afire
on the approach of gas clouds.
The burning heather heats the air
which, in expanding, disperses the
poisonous vapors, he says.
Farm Home Burned.

Telegram.) The farm home of John
Bandura, living seven miles south
west of this city, was entirely de
stroyed by fire last night. Bandura

A Vacation Suggestion
Vacation days are Just ahead and our
spare moments are devoted to fig
uring out where we shall spend
them. How productive of happy
memories is the vacation rightly
planned and well carried out, and
what a really tragic thing when a
holiday, so long an object of
p 1 e a s u r a ble contemplation is
spoiled by some unavoidable mis
take. Of equal importance with the itiner
ary of your trip is the planning of
your wardrobe, and its suitability to
the needs of your vacation. Our
friends judge us by our character,
but the acquaintances we make
while traveling, upon whom much
of the pleasure of our vacation de
pends have only our appearance
to judge us by.
Select your vacation wardrobe care
fully let it express refinement and
taste, and you will find your pleas
ure greatly increased.
Not many clothes, nor necessarily ex
pensive clothes, but becoming and
tnitiablo clothes, are what you are
going to need.
