HELLER, Manager, PROTECTION AND THE PRICE OF WOOL The Republican papers and orators have been fond of telling the farmers how the Republican party has "protected" his wool. In view of this fact the case of a Fulton county farmer, a Mr. Hendrickson, as related in the Rochester Sentinel, is interesting. Last year Mr. Hendrickson sold his wool clip for |58.70. This year from the same sheep he sheared wool that sold for $17.30, a slump in wool prices under that dear Republican protective tariff of $41.40. The sheep were >n practically the same condition as last year, but Mr. Hendrickson sold his wool at 32 cents last year and 12 cents this year. And what do the Republican papers say about it? Well, her e Is what that staunch organ of ‘‘protection'' the Rockville Republican, says: “Wool is low, to be sure, but nobody in Indiana depends on wool for his living—it is in reality a sort of byproduct for the farmer who raises sheep for the market. If he gets a big

Live Agents Wanted

Owing to the increased demand for Wayne “30” Automobiles, we have decided to build joo additional cars of this popular type. These are now coming through—we can positively make deliveries of the first fifty in ten days.

Now, we can sell every one of these cars in four or five large cities —as we have been doing. But we have other ideas, other aims.

We are planning to build 6,000 cars next year—have the facilities to do it —and the work is already under way. That means we’ll need a large selling force—an agent in every town over 5,000. We want these 300 Wayne “30” cars to be the missionaries which will create a demand for the 6,000 we will build next year. See our point? We want to distribute this season’s output —these 300 —over as much territory as possible instead of concentrating them in a few metropolitan centers. Satisfied users are the best advertisements—every Wayne will do its part in carrying the news of Wayne quality wherever it goes. Even to those who knew the earlier Wayne models this 1908 product will be a revelation and a delight. We want a. personal representative— a man of good standing—to represent us in your town. Large capital is not necessary—neither is a garage nor repair shop. Very little capital, but a large amount of energy and selling ability, are the requisites—to the man who possesses these, here is an opportunity of a lifetime to get in business for himself—one that has a wonderful future.

Write today; send references ; tell us about yourself; if satisfactory, we will get together quickly. We won’t hold you up on deliveries and we’ll stand back of the product—remember, we count on these 300 to sell 6,000; there's the buyer’s guarantee —and yours. Now is the selling season—today. Business has been great since the sun came out—if you don’t share in the hay-makin<L it’s your own fault.

price for the wool so much the better; if a low price it don’t make much difference.” But it does “make much difference. ’ It shows tnat the Republicans have been lying to the farmers about the tariff keeping up the prices of what he has to sell. Wool twelve whole cents a pound. Befor e it went into the hands of a receiver appointed by a United States court, the Indianapolis Star was violently anti-Taft. But under the receivership it is friendly to Mr. Taft. What its course will be later on is a matter of speculation. The measly price of wool will lo much to show up th e fallacy of protection. Supply and demand has long been a Democratic contention as a regulator of prices. A panic and hard times has reduced that demand, 30 the farmer takes a little old twelve cents a pound for his supply. That is the whole song, and this year the farmer can sing it himself. It is now in order for those noisy newspapers whose chief specialty is high protection, to explain in detail to th e American farnigu Jiow and why protection has failed to protect the price of wool. Twelve cents a pound, hardly worth the shearing, and that, too, under a protected system with schedules soaring higher than they ever did in the history of this country. The farmers want to know. One hundred and forty-seven graduates from the public schools of Adams county, tells the story of our

educational advancement. It is this great work that is making us grow stronger and better as well as wiser, and in this march, Adams county is not only keeping pace, but is leading. County Superintendent Opliger is deserving of praise for the great work he has done in the advancement of our public schools. James Bingham, th e present attorney general of Indiana, who has suddenly blossomed out with a great, flaming interest in “reform," is *he cheapest sort of a demagogue. H e can contribute nothing te the cleanness of the campaign. He has never contributed anything to good government. As a retailer of silly slanders he may meet with the approval of the Republican state committee, but he can only disgust all persons who are acquainted with his malodorous record.

The many new ordinances being adopted by the proper authorities of the city are in the interest of goo! health, and good health is not a commodity with a price. Cleanliness and a proper preservation of cleanliness will go a long ways toward making us healthier, happier and better Americans. Every citizen should now lend his influence and good offices toward an earnest fulfillment of the new ordinances, that great good may follow in the efforts to benefit mankind.
