prise would be impolitic and unfair
to those who have contributed ST..
100000 to it, and who have honored
him with their confidence in making
him the president of the company and
responsible head Of the enterprise.
So he cast aside his ambition to
be a senator III he had cherished
such an a~mbition), let slip an oppor-
%lunity that his friends firmly believe
was in his grasp, and decided to
serve the people of his W city first,
hoping thereby to serve the people
Of the whole state by restoring navi-
CATION on the Missouri and establish
ing it permanently. In order that
he may be free 20 develop rapidly
the navigation enterprise without let
ting the vast sum of money contrib
utcd for it lie idle in the banks he
concluded to rclinquish the manage
ment Of the affairs Of the Republican
State Committee at once.
These are the plain, simple facts
concerning Mr.. Dickey's decision
not to be a candidate for United
State. Senator and to decline further
party service as chairman Of the Re-
publican State Committee. Any eff
fort of the Democratic press or Of
Democratic politicians to attribute
his decision to a lack Of confidence
in the success of his party in Missouri
this year is unwarranted- not justi-
fed by the facts involved and is ex-
reedingly unfair to Mr.. Dickey. He
has stated to his political associates
hat he feels confident that the Re-
Dublicans will win in Missouri this
year that the party is better organ

lie has never been willing to think
hat his services as chairman are in

roposes to be as active and efficient
, party work as his Obligations will
ermit and is optimistic in his fore

AS you will see by the report OF the
proceedings of the county court in
last weeks issue the court has finally
rented the west half OF the court
house basement, something like Z or
8 rooms, for the m~unifcient sum OF
$500 per month";. This, OF course
is better than the way it has been for
years, when the taxpayers got nothing
and had to pay increased insurance
on the court house on account OF, the
occupancy of the basement. Keep
moving, you may get things right
after awhile, but hurry a little, for the
millennium will be here after a while.

be classed under two heads-the Spanish and
the British breeds. The Spanish breed is the
Mcrino, which has modified more or less the
sheep of all Europe, including the British Is
lands, North and South America, South Africa
and Australia. The Merino has a very char
acteristic appearance, which easily distin-
cuisines him from other breeds. He has thick
covering of wool over the forehead and checks,
his horns are large ponderous and convouted
laterally. The wool Is long, soft, and twisted
into silky looking spiral ringlets. The wool
fbers are highly intoxicated and possess in the
highest degree fine felting qualities The origin
of the Spanish Merno Is not very we'll known,
but the breed Is known to have as foundation
the original breed introduced into the PENN
sula by the Romans upon which was crossed
certain English sheep, most probably the Lei
cester or Lincoln sheep.
Up to the time Of the Napoleonc wars, the
position of Spain In the wool trade was at the
head. Spanish wool went all over the civilized
world and enjoyed a reputation for being the
best However, the peninsular wars with the
attendant evils following thereon, had most
disastrous effect the wool trade of Spain
and produced depreciation in Its quality and
a consequent loss in expectation for the wool
Of the famous breed
Spanish Merinos were taken to Hungary In
1875 and to France one year later-the most
famous french MerlnO Is the hamDOulllet.
Spanish Merinos were first brought to Ram
boullet by Daubenton In 1882, and from this
first importation the breed was developed. 1t is
now known all over the world as Of the
best of the Merino strains. Spanish Merinos
were brought to the United States In the early
colonial days, but the breed lost in a pro
miscuous crossing with the earlier imported
British breeds. The first Spanish Merinos
whose descendants have been kept pure were
brought to the United States in 1902
Merinos were taken to the Spanish,Amer-
lean colonies almost with the first ColoniSts.
and are the foundation and almost the sole
foundation OF the socalled native breeds in all
the American Latin republics, but the breed
was not kept up, and consequently decayed
even more rapidly chan subsequently In Spain
following the Napoleonc wars.
While Spain has the honor of having pro-
duced the most valuable single breed Of sheep,
bred for wool peculiarly suitable for clothing
the British islands have produced the greatest
number OF valuable breeds of sheep bred for
wool suitable for all purposes, and even for
the particular purpose for which Meriuo wool

yarns although hard-spun look and feel light
and fluffy Worsted yarns appear finer and
stronger.
The weaving of the two kinds of cloth Is
not unlike, at least not to the unskilled OBJ
server. except In one particular, and this Is
most important one-woolens are fuled and
worseds are not, The fulling of the cloth, ac
complished by heat. moisture and pressure,
brings together and interlocks, by means of the
imbrication Of the fiber the several threads
entering into the cloth into q more less
felted whole. The cloth shrinks. sometimes as
much as onehalf. and In such material as for
instance the so-called doeslns and broadcloths,
It appears and feels like felt.
1t Is this process of semifelting the cloth,
made possible by the peculiar lie of the fibers
In the yarn that distinguishes woolens from
worsteds. Formerly. entirely different classes
of wool were used In the two cloths-for wool
ems. the short-staple, highly intoxicated carding

possible now to use the short.staple woods In

In practise the raw wool. after being washed

According to United States census reports,
manufactures of wool rank tenth In the list OF
American industries The total capital invested
was sSl0,lT9.7i9 and with an output valued at
S296,990,4S4 year. In the classification
adopted the manufacture Of clothing is not In
cluded Since 1900 there has been an enor-
nous increase In the wool manufacturing In
dustry, principally in the manufacture of
worsteds At the same census the number of
sheep In the United States was 80 S52e67 Since
then there has been IS per cent increase In
the number OF sheep, as appears by report
issued by the census Office on Januar" /, 1910,
which shows 57,216000 sheep In the country at
the present time. These are valued at an av
erage OF si0S. giving total value of $685.
zoe, BY the census of 1900 the country pro
duces 2I6,56I 5Si pounds of sleeps wool and
96l,32S pounds of mohair and goat hair. Esu-
mating the same average clip OF wool as at that
time. the production of the country at the pres
ent should be about 40o,oo0,00O pounds Of wool

school, and in 1908 was admitted to

supplementary study"
In 1904 Mr.. Foelker was elected to
the New York state assembly. His
early training in the Young Mems
Christian association in the formation
of friendships, he says, gave him
training for that first election.
Soon Mr.. Foelkcr became the most
bitterly hated man in the entire state
of New York-in certain quarters
and he was not better loved by the
race-track gamblers for risking his life
in casting the vote against them.
