NEW REPAIR METHOD
Half
Machi
Doe* Away With Nailing
Arthur Phillips has recently added
a new machine to his shoe repair
equipment that does away with nail­
ing on of the half sole repair that has
become so common and inflicts such
injury to the foot covering of the
owners of the shoes that are repaired.
The new machine is a leather pad
that is bolted to a steel frame and is
filled with water. The shoe to be re ­
paired is placed on this pad, a form
fitted inside the shoe and • pressure
applied by a screw bar fitted into a
frame.
Instead of the customary nailing on
of the half sole, the work is applied
to the shoe by means of patented
leather cement and the hydraulic pres
sure of the frame holds the repan
firmly against the water pad and con­
forms to the shape of the krorn shoe
By this method all repair work re­
sults in a shoe that is as comfortable
as the old one wa* before the repair
was made.
The new machine is used exclusive­
ly for the repair of pumps, dance
shoes, women's shoes and men’s dress
shoes, and costs only 25 cents more
than the nailing on method.

WHEAT PROSPECTS GOOD
Reports from county agents and
others from the wheat raising coun­
ties of central and eastern Oregon
state that the prospects for large
crops were never better at this time
of, year. In Umatilla county wheat
is reported as a foot high and condi­
tions are more favorable than for
several years. However, wheat is nev­
er a sure crop until it is in the sack
the growers state, and they are wish­
ing that the copious spring rains
might be held back until more needed.

pay the foundation bill in full.
