WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH WOOL? FELLOWS WHO GROW IT ASK

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN While it is true that neither the market price of wool, nor the date of Its marketing, is of great consequences to any Wayne farmer, all who have a clip to sell are wondering what can have happened, and why there is no cash demand, at least nnt at nv

figure that ia in the least acceptable. This Is a question that all America is ! asking. It concerns every one of us. It relates to our coming expenditures for clothing, for blankets, and for every fabric into which wool enters, wholly or in part The wool clip of Wayne county is not large. We are not wool growers but farmers. Our wool clip is but incidental to the feeding of a few sheep, kept for various reasons, mostly to clean up the woods and pastures and for lamb and mutton, rather than for wool. But even so, whatever wool we may have should be marketable and should bring a satisfactory price, especially po when we consider paying $10 to 515 per pound for wool in admixture with cotton in men's clothing, or in all-wool garments and fabrics. A Natlon-Wlde Condition. What has happened to wool in Wayne has happened all over Indiana. It has. Indeed, happened all over America. Its effect is felt seriously in nil wool-growing states, and in these states the bankers have been trying to solve the problem. They have millions of dollars tied up in wool in all the wool states. Texas alone has nearly 20,000,000 rounds in wool storage houses, on which the hanks have largely loaned

to the limit, and there is still a lot of wool on Texas farms. New England has become immensely rich because of the extravagance of the west. It is the birthplace of in-, vestments as well as of liberty. All the retrenchments that people are everywhere making In fabrics reflect back on New England, its spinners and its banks. When demand ceases to press, production is curtailed. This is Just now the case in the woolen goods trade, also to some extent in cottons and various dress materials. The American Woolen company have warehouses piled with stocks of manufactured woolens, mostly representing cancelled orders. They are in no mood to 8dd to these on what, in the very nature of things and world wide trend, must be a declining market. One must be blind not to see that the peak in prices has been passed. In A Dormant Condition. It is clearly apparent that New England is now dormant, as far as shoes, hides, leather and wool are concerned. Neither the tanner nor the shoe manufacturer are really pressing production. The aid is listless. Wool is stagnant;

it is awaiting buyers. As to hides the west is full of them; never more so Indeed and prices have gone to pieces, compared with a year ago. This does not help the fine Bhoe trade making the best womens' wear, greatly, except for Boles, but should cut the price of mens' calf and "split grain" shoes a whole lot. It should, and must eventually, lower the price of all classes of work shoes, in particular. Indiana Is greatly Interested in cotton, not because we grow it, but because we use so much of it, and that goes for all the world. Well, the

financial stringency has affected the automobile industry, at least in a degree, and this must later affect cotton, especially the "long staples". And why? Because the auto man's troubles have been passed along to the tire makers and these have promptly cancelled large orders for cotton fabrics. 8t. Louis Wool Prices. A little wool is filtering into St. Louis right along. What is St. Louis paying for wool? Note the latest prices: For Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Dakotas and similar wools; bright mediums, 29 cents; dark mediums, 23 cents; slight burry, 21 cents. For No. 1 tubwashed, 40 cents, and for No. 2 tubwashed, 30 cents per pound. Well might the secretary of the National Clothiers association have said: "The cost of the raw wool in a suit.

gentlemen, is neglible, and need not be taken 1 to account in the cost of fabric or of manufactured clothing. It is the labor cost, and the selling cost and the overhead, all down the line." No Panicky Declines. Few are expecting and none are desiring panicky declines. Until production is speeded up and there are goods enough to go 'round and a surplus to spare at reasonable fipni es no great break in prces can be anticipated. What we all desire is goods sold at a reasonable profit, not at a loss, from the raw material to the finished product, this applying to every article of use and wear, from building material and furniture to baby shoes and milk

bottles. All this should come about in good 'time, and at a time not long deferred.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

A new side light was thrown on the car situation by the remark of O. P. Davis, of College Corner. Mr. Davis states that "No cars are coming in with merchandise, as was formerly the

rule, so much of that now being handled by trucks." This is the case in many of the small towns. Mr. Davis Bays that his elevator is

all cluttered up with wheat, and that

this is true.of the rest of the mills ana elevators in College Corner. He sees no relief in sight and said that he had wired his insurance agents to increase

his wheat Insurance another $5,000. He states that College Corner, being on a cross line, works to its disadvantage at such a time as this, the trunk lines grabbing all the cars, allotting to smaller systems as they please. His efforts to get some relief at Indianapolis has so far been fruitless. Mr. Davis deplore3 the increase in losses to country elevators from inability to market and ship promptly, on this rapidly declining market. Greensfork Has One Car. The manager of the Greenefork elevator says that he received a cai on Thursday, the first for the week, but that grain has not come in fast enough as yet to tie him up, farmers being busy with oats and many pre paring to hold wheat. Oats are promising, but none have yet been offered. He reports no message oi any kind from the wool concern at Chicago to whom the car of pooled wool was consigned, except that it had arrived some weeks ago. They were

paying $2.40 for No. 1 red on Thursday with the outlook for lower prices on Friday, unless the markets were firmer. Bio Four Provides Cars.

Live stock In Mexico has dwindled to almost nothing, and the firm of Ruis and Martinez, of Mexico City, are aiding in restocking the country. For the first time in many years cattle has been bought in the San Angelo district, Texas, for shipment into Mexico, a recent 10 car shipment of Hereford steers costing the buyers $80 per head. The duty will not be less than $4 per head.

Indiana Vegetation Not Suffering Yet Armington A summary of weather and crop con, ditions in Indiana for the week, by J. H. Armington, of the Indianapolis weather bureau follows: While for the state as a whole the temperature averaged about three de

grees below normal, there were sev

eral very warm days during the mid- j

die of the week. Throughout the

period there was no rainfall except in a few widely scattered localities, and sunshine was abundant, being much In excess of the average for the season. Notwithstanding the lack or rainfall, soil moisture from previous showers continued ample for crop needs in most sections. There are. however, areas in the western tier of counties which are becoming quite dry, especially along the lower Wabash, and in some, vegetation is bogining to show signs of suffering. A very few widely scattered localities in , other parts of the state are similarly . affected. Hot winds on last Friday i did slight damage to growing crops!

in the dry areas. Conditions were excellent for haying, wheat threshing and oats cutting, which made good progress. The latter is becoming general in the northern part of the state, and the crop in practically all sections is regarded as very satisfactory. Except in the dry areas mentioned, corn, tomatoes, tqbacco and most truck made excellent progress. Corn is in silk in many fields, and some silking is reported from all sections. Potatoes also grew well, but in some places there is some blight. Early potatoes are being dug. Peaches are reported good, while blackberries continue plentiful in middle southern sections.

Mr. Harrison says they harvested a lot of good wheat in his section, much of it in the Lebanon district going from 30 to 37 bushels. He also remarked that they were harvesting an abundant oat crop this week. Mr. Ardery said that some wheat crops ran very light in the College Corner district, while others were better than hoped for. He Is on the retired list, he said, but just the same they have 44 acres of as fine looking corn, for the season, as he had ever grown on the old place. Corn Made In Texas. South Texas claims that corn is "made" and in proof is offering it to the north for August shipment. Southern corn does not keep as well as northern, and It is usually sold long

Comb Sage Tea Into Gray Hair Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its Natural Color and Lustre at Once.

Common Garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol

added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preperation improved by the addition of other ingredients, a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. Afafter another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Advertisement.

"I SAY POSITIVELY MY RHEUMATISM WAS RELIEVED BY DRECO" Richmond citizen was crippled up so badly, could not work for a long time joints swollen, muscles sore, neck stiff. IS ALL RIGHT NOW

"I say, without hesitation, that I am completely relieved of a bad case of rheumatism, and the whole credit belongs to Dreco, the new root and herb juice remedy," is the signed state

ment made by Mr. V. D. Clark of 7 N. j Fifteenth St., Richmond, Ind. ) "For years I've had rheumatism and ; have taken all the well known treatments, baths etc.; my Joints were swollen ; muscles sore and drawn, and my neck was stiff and very painful. At times my limbs hurt so bad that I was crippled and walked with great , difficulty. I "I had taken so much strong medicine for rheumatism, that my stomach was all to pieces, and it frequently filled up with gas and griped me awful bad. j "So many persons right here in town were praising Dreco that I went up and got some to give it a thorough trial, and that was the best money I ever spent; it did me more good than any money I ever spent. I tell you the pains are gone from my Joints and muscles. I can turn my head all around and never have a pain In my neck, and I walk without the slightest inconvenience. Dreco also soothed my stomach and it is greatly improved. I am glad to endorse this wonderful medicine, that did so much for me." The old-fashioned remedies made from roots and herbs, are the best for anyone to take. Dreco is made from twelve different roots, herbs, barks and berries. These act on the stomach, bowels, kidneys and purify the blood. Dreco knocks rheumatism out shortly. Relieves catarrh of the head and stomach; makes you sleep soundly and creates a good appetite. As a blood purifier nothing can equal Dreco. It puts a stop to bolls, eczema and other blood affections. All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended i; Richmond by Clem ThlstlethwalteV seven drug stores. Advertisement.
