J. Goeke of Kirksville, who is now assisting in his son's store in this city, on August first will celebrate his fiftieth anniversary as a shoe maker. "Fifty years ago August 1, I began my work as an apprentice as a shoemaker at Osnabruck, Germany," Mr. Goeke told a representative of The Constitution Wednesday morning while taking a few minutes from his work at the Goeke store. "My apprenticeship lasted for three and one-half years and at that time I was 17 years old.

I decided to come to America and I teft Osnabruck, landing at Baltimore, Md. I worked at my trade there for time, going from there to Philadelphia and later to New York. When I completed my apprentice trade in Germany I thought I knew everything about the making of shoes but when I began work in America I soon discovered that I had not mastered my trade," be continued. While in New York Mr. Goeke at the Koeler shoe shop on Broadway.

This shop was one of the leading custom made shoe shops in New York at that time, the cheapest shoe which was made there sold for $18. At that time shores were very cheap but makers of custom shoes demanded a big price and received it. In 1884 Mr. Goeke, knowing he had mastered the trade, came west and settled at Quincy In 1884. After remaining there several years he went to St.

Louis and from that city to Kdina where he remained until eleven years ago' when Tie moved to Kirksville where he now resides. Mr. Goke has worked in every branch of the shoe business, having spent some time selling shoes on the road. The greater part of his time, however, has been spent in making and repairing shoes. "The first pair of shoes I ever made were for myself and since that time I have made every pair of shoes that I have worn," he said.

"Not that I cannot buy as good a shoe from the stock of shoes on the shelf but it has become a habit with me and I continue to make my shoes." November 9, 1887 Mr. Goeke was married to Miss Elizabeth Templeman at Quiucy. To this union ten children were born, eight of whom are now living. They are George Goeke, Newton, Frank Goeke, Chillicothe; Ed and Henry Goeke and Misses May and Eleanor Goeke, Kirksville; John of Kansas City and Herbert of Moberly.

GENEVA, July recall to' London of the British delegation at the naval armament conference was viewed in some quarters today as a diplomatic maneuver to compel the United States to accept the proposal on cruiser tonnage and size of guns or permit the conference to end in failure.

He was accompanied by the beautiful woman known throughou the world now as Marie of an English princess who slipped into the intrigue of southeastern European politics so whole heartedly that her will finally became one of the determining factors in the Balkans. Despite the Hohenzollern blood in Ferdinand's veins, Queen Marie was able to keep Roumania out of the war on the side of the Central Powers and finally put Roumania in the war on the side of the allies It won for Marie's country vast new.

areas carved from Russia, and Marie was honored for the personal sacrifices and diplomatic ability which enabled her to win new dignity and wealth for Roumania. Ferdinand was a weak monarch and never loomed so large as. his able queen, also, he was old. The bearded prince was 59 years old in 1914 and 72 when he died. Physically, he was not strong during his later years and recently his illness has been such that false reports of his death from intestinal cancer frequently have been printed and believed until denials could be got out of Bucharest.

Marie was 10 years Ferdinand's junior and had the further advantage of a mind that kept her young despite advancing years. The marriage scarcely could have been termed a love match. Domestic difficulty probably hastened Ferdinand's death. In November, 1925 his eldest son, Carol, heir to the throne and the father of a 4-year-old son, went to London to lantic land. near St.
