20 COWBOYS'BOOT SHOP IN STRAITS Labor Shortage May Close Up Unique Kansas Establishment Topcka, Kan. —The largest hand made cowboy bootshop in America Is at Olathe, Kan. The custom of making hand-made boots, however, is becoming a lost art, the owner declares. Within another ten years he visualizes machinery taking over the thread-needle-thimble combina tlon. Forty-three years ago H. C. Hyor came to Kansas from Illinois and got a job as teacher in the shoemak ing shop at the deaf and dumb school at Olathe. He conceived the idea of setting up a shop of his own, and hung out a shingle sign: "Cow boy boots made here." To-day a gold-lettered sign has taken its place. The shop, instead of being a one-man establishment, has eighty employes. Close to 15,000 pairs of boots are turned out annually.

Hp to this time no definite ar rangements have been outlined as the committee has not held a meet ing. Members of the committee and of the league have been talking about a welcome home celebration and alt feel that the borough owes it to the boys who were in the serv ice during the emergency. This borough was well represent ed in the World War, having more than GOO men with the colors, several of which made the supreme sacri fice. With a few exceptions the ser vice men are back in civics again and have almost forgotten about be ing in the service while Steelton peo ple are getting rather concerned about a welcome home celebration for the boys. Supporting every war drive dur ing the conflict, Steelton made a wonderful showing and is recogniz ed for its unflinching financial sup port. Because of the willingness of residents to contribute toward these funds during the war advocates of a welcome home celebration feel they will not hesitate to give finan cial support to a fund to be expended In holding a celebration. Frank A. Robbins, Jr., general manager of the steel plant, is chair man of the committee from the lea gue appointed to discuss the feasi bility of holding the affair. Busi nessmen and residents are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the initial step and are hoping something will be done for the boys. Locust Grove Population Has Gradually Decreased Locust Grove, eighteen months ago a bustling little settlement of negroes, who were employed at the steel plant, to-day has a population of sixty. When the buildings were first erected about two years ago as high as four hundred negroes lived there and the population was al ways around that mark until the armistice was signed. Since Novem ber of last year work has gradually decreased at the steel plant and the population of this settlement has slowly dwindled away. The lowest number of negroes at Locust Grove was eighteen, officials of the plant said this morning. A't the settlement a cafeteria, gymnasium and ler amusements for the negroe re running full blast a year ago. the doors of these places have now been closed and in a few words Locust Grove has passed out of existence.

Council in Monthly Session Passes Laws and Hears Many Reports Council in monthly session in the council chamber last night passed on third reading an ordinance re quiring the registration in the borough of the deed and title of every property. An ordinance pro viding for the erection of'a number of street lights in various sections of the borough was passed on second reading. Chairman Henderson, of the high way committee, reported to council the completion of repairs to wooden blocks in Front street between Gib son and Highland streets. A total of 7,007 square yards of pavement was repaired. The new pavement in South Front street below the stone quarries, with the exception of that part between the street car tracks, will be completed this week. Prop erty owners will be notified by the police department to place side walks in good condition. Council man Henderson, on a request of the Municipal League, made a motion that property owners be sent notices. Many complaints have been received by the league about the bad condition of sidewalks and gutters and the gas and water boxes in the sidewalks. Councilman Prowell, who succeeded Charles E. Keim, deceased, last night was made a member of the ordinance and finance committees. Mail to Europe Through Local Office Decreasing Dilring the past month mail for foreign countries has fallen off about thirty per cent, and there has been a marked reduction in the postal savings deposits at the local post office, according to Postmaster Cus ack this morning. This change in the trend of activities at the post office shows a marked decrease in the foreign population of the bor ough. Postmaster Cusack said that the reduction of business with for eigners was noticed almost immedi ately after the cessation of hostili ties in Europe. A large percentage of the postal savings business was conducted with foreigners and the gradual decrease in the foreign pop ulation is responsible for the slow down of business at the oifice. Less than two years ago the local office was doing a record-breaking busi ness in the postal savings depart ment. The postmaster declared this morning that this business has de creased approximately fifty per cent, since November of last year. Steel Plant Turned Out Many Shells For Allies Employes of the local steel plant to-day recalled the activities of the shell mill of the plant last year at this time. In November 1918 the shell mill was running full blast turning out thousands of shells for the United States Government. Even with the cessation of hostilities the work did not stop as many shells were made to complete an order for the Government. Almost twenty thousand shells are now on store here, awaiting shipment. In Febru ary the mill was dismantled and the workmen placed in other shops throughout the plant. Before taking on the order from the United States Government the local plant made shells for the Italian and British governments. New Railroad Cars of Steel Plant in Use Twenty modern railroad cars re cently purchased by the local plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company are now in use and are giving satisfac tory results, it was learned this morning. The cars were purchased to replace a number placed on the discarded list because they were not of a modern type. Most of the cars are used for transportation of the Steelton and Ilighspire Railroad Company's lines in .the local plant yards. BOCA 1 j PLANT NOT AFFECTED BY SLOW COAL SHIPMENTS Slow shipments of bituminous coal did not affect operation of the local steel plant to any great extent, according to officials of the plant this morning. A large amount of bituminous coal is used at the plant but officials managed to get enpugh shipments to keep things running over the temporary layoff of miners. Railroad and coal tieups are injur ious to the operation of the steel plant but so far the situations have been met without any great difficul ties.

THE POINT OF VIEW "Do you think you can get me out of this scrape?" asked the confidence man of his shifty lawyer. "How much would it be worth to me?" "Suppose we say $1,000?' "And you made $50,000 out of the deal? No sir. I don't see the slight est chance to get you acquitted for $l,OOO, but, ahem, we might view the matter from another angle." "What do you mean?" "Looking at your ease from a $5,- 000 angle, I don't see the slightest chance for you to be convicted."— Birmingham Age-Herald. EVEN, AFTER ALL A suspicious-looking customer was boasting to a grocer of the cheap ness of ten pounds of sugar he had bought at a rival shop. "Let me weigh the package," said the grocer. The other assented, and It was found two pounds short. The man looked perplexed for a moment and then said: "I don't think he cheated me much, for while he was getting the sugar I pocketed two tins of condensed milk."—Edin burgh Scotsman.
