TS insole was cut from paper—very likely the counters are paper, and also several lifts of the heel are paper. Such shoes, when wet, won’t hold the stitching -— their outsoles come off, the counters break down, heels become spongy, and the whole shoe ill-shaped. These things are used as substitutes for leather in the making of some shoes used because they are cheaper, and they are nearly always hidden where the buyer cannot see or detect them. Don't be persuaded to buy poor shoes in order to save money. Poor shoes are the most expensive in the long run.

If rates yield more or less than such amount they are not just. If they-yield more they are excessive and unreasonable. If they yield less they are unreasonable and are against public interest be ause they result in a deteriorated service and capital is no longer attracted but direct ed to other industries that are more profitable and possibly the products of many such industries are of less importance to the public. The present rates we believe to be just and reasonable. They were approved by the Post master General and are effective by Act of Congress. • These rates are now being revised by the Public Service Commission of Oregon, which body as sumes jurisdiction since the Government turned back the telephene properties to private ownership.
