son continues, every four years comes
a special period of tribulation. When
tho presidential campaign rolls
around, every candidate for the nom-
ination and the resulting presiden-
tial candidates and every manager of
every such candidate finds clear evi-
dence In our report of bias against
every candidate mentioned—until af-
ter the election and then all agree
that the Associate Press has been
conspicuously fair. This has been
our experience in the past and there
is every indication that the present
campaign will be no exception.
"I say this for there Is a measure of
truth In the charge for on the theory
that 'he who Is not for us is against
us' the Associated Press Is against
every candidate for it surely Is not for
any one of them."
Mr. Noyes explained that while ev-

A FOOL AT 40
It Is an old proverb that every
man Is either a fool or a physician
at 40, Well, I fooled along for 40
years in the practice of pharmacy
and the study of medicine and thera-
peutics before I discovered' the won-
derful prescription for Number 40
For The Blood. There Is more of
this wonderful prescription sold and
used by the people of our home city
than all other blood medicines com-
bined. It Is Indicated in all depraved
conditions of the system; in blood
troubles. In sores, ulcer* eczema and
skin diseases; In chronic rheuma-

the support of individual members,
the Associated Press will continue
serenly Indifferent as to the outcome
of the nominating conventions and„
elections, contenting itself to supply-
ing its members with the news as it
happens, playing no favorites and
punishing no enemies.
Workers are Tireless.
"The report of the Associated Press
does not grow or simply come into
being without effort," Mr. Noyes con-
tinued. ''Every line, every word is
the product of an individual worker
of whom hundreds toil and adventure
daily to support a fair picture of the
world's happenings. Every one of
you know that at the bottom these
charges of bias are chargcs against
out anonymous workers—who if we
are betrayed are the betrayers, who,
if these charges are true, are recreant
to tlje trust we have placed in them.
" Tou know them, you know all of
of them, division chiefs, bureau chiefs,
editors, correspondents, reporters, op-
erators, working tirelessly, faithfully,
efficiently, intelligently.
"You know that the men are the
salt of the earth, the pride of our
profession and neither your opinion
nor mine can be fitly expressed on an
occasion of this sort of the ignoramus-
es, the blatherskites or the liars who
defame them."
Introduces Vice Presldcut.
Mr. Noyes in introducing Vice Pres-
ident Marshall, the principal speaker
at the luncheon, said: •
"Some men shrink In stature on
further acquaintance while a few
grow. As the people of the United
States have observed one of the chief
of their servants from day to day and
from year to year, there has been an
increasing appreciation with each day
and each year not only of his delight-
ful personality and of his great l-^ct
in a very trying and difficult position,
but of his r> solute chee~rfulness and
sturdy goo 1 sense—and that is saying
a good deal in these days and espec-
ially of a man who has beei in his
precise geographical position.
"It gives rac great pleasure to pre-
sent to you the vice president of the
Untted States, Thomas R. Marshall."
Vice President Marshall advocated
freedom of speech and of the press
as guaranteed by the constitution, but
said he believed In "soaking it to a
fellow who causes trouble In the re-
public by what he says."
Urging less publication of crime
news, he said, newspapers should pour
oil on the troubled waters of unrest
by "speaking of the fine things In this
American life of ours."
SHOE PRICES DON'T
EfHS
NEARLY THREE TIMES AS MUCH
MATERIAL IMPORTED FOR
MANUFACTURE.
(Temple Telegram Special.)
New York, April 5.—Prices of boots
and shoes have apparently no terrors
for the American public. The quan-
tity of material being imported for
their manufacture is two and one-half
times as much as last year, and the
sums being paid therefor four tlpies
as much. The quantity of hides im-
ported into the United States In the
seven months ending with January,
1920, says a statement by the National.
City Bank of New Y»rk, Is 645,000,000
pounds against 210,000,000 In the
same months of last year, and the
stated value 1241,000,000 against $59,-
000,000 In the same months of last
year.
While not all of this material Im-
ported Is used In the manufacture of
shoes,' sqys the bank's statement, the
increase in those classes distinctly
used for shoe manufacture is very
great, and this is true also as to prices.
The quantity of calf skins Imported
In the seven months ending with Jan.
1920, is 60,000,000 pounds valued at
$27,000,000, against less than 3,000,-
000 pounds .valued at a little over $1,-
000,000 In 1919, while the average Im-
port price In January, 1920, is 66.6c
.per pound against IS.4c at the termin-
ation of the war, November, 1918.
Goat skins, used chiefly In the manu-
facture of shoes, show a total for the
seven months ending with January,
of 80,000,000 pounds against 25,000,-
000 In the corresponding months of
the preceding year, and the price in
January, 1920, 95.5c per pound against
67.9c In January, 1919, and 64.1c In
the month In which the war ended.

than $1 per pound In January, 1920,
as against an average of o\*er 2(c per
pound in the year preceding the war.
Hides of cattle show a total for the
seven months ending with January of
809,000,000 pounds against 140,000,-
000 In .the same months of last year,
and the average price per pound In
January, 1920 36.6c per pound against
21.4c In January, 1919, and 22.2c in
November, 1918.
This large Importation of this class
of material In the fiscal year 1819,
1920 Is due in part to the peculiar
conditions during the closing years of
the war, and especially to the embargo
which those nations participating In
the war placed upon the exportation
of materials of this character, and
now that this embargo has been re-
moved the quantities which can be
exported are larger than before, While
the demand in the United States, due
to shortage of supplies resulting from
the embargo, is greater than usual—
greater than ever before apparently—
for the quantity Imported is not only
far larger than ever before, but at
prices far higher than ever before.
Present indications are that the quan-
tity of hides and skins Imported In the
fiscal year ending with June, 1920,
will approximate 850,000,000 pounds
against the former high record of
744,000,000 In 1916, and the value In
the vicinity of $400,000,000 as against
the high record of $216,000,000 in
1917. Apparently the quantity of this
class of manufacturing material im-
ported in the fiscal year 1920 will be
fully 60 per cent greater than In the
year preceding the war, and the value
nearly 100 per cent greater than in
the pre-war year.
Not all of this increase, however,
appertains to or results from the In-
creased demand in the United States,
for a very considerable proportion of
our manufactures of leather and
leather products now goes abroad.
The total exportation of leather and
manufactures thereof in the seven
months ending with January, 1920, is
$189,000,000 against $63,000,000 in
same months of 1919, and $67,000,000
in the corresponding months of 1918,
or three times as much in value in the
current fiscal year as in either of the
two years immediately preceding.
Should the present rate continue, the
total exports of leather and leather
goods In the fiscal year ending with
June, 1920, will approximate $300,-
000,000 as against $100,000,000 in
1918, and $58,000,000 in the year pre-
ceding the war.
Evidently the advance In prices has
no greater terrors for the foreign
wearers of Amerietn footwear than
for our own people. The average ex-
port price of women's shoes exported
in January, 1920, was $.1.77 against
$2.70 per pair in January. 1919, and
$1.71 per pair In the month preceding
the opening of the war, July, 1914.
Men's shoes also show a similar In-
crease in'export price, averaging $4.65
per pair fn January, 1020, against
$1.05 in January, 1919j_and $1.94 In
July. 1914, yet despite these advances
in price, the quantity exported both
of men's and women's shoes, shows
an Increase of 60 per cent over the
same period of last year, and 100 per
cent over the corresponding period of
the year preceding the war. The hides
imported come chiefly from Asia, Aus-
tralia, and Latin America, and the
boots and shoes exported gt> to seven-
ty-five different countries, distributed
the world over, but especially to Latin
America, Canada and the Orient.

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This
destroys it entirely. To do this,
just get about fo'tTr ounces of plain,
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; tise enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
eompletely dissolve and entirely
destroy every single sign and trace
of it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch-
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will be
fluny, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.
