at our liberties given to US by
Washington as the leader and

Lincoln, at the fall of Lincoln,
the system Of government to
a great extent was changed.
For there WIS 8 men placed

of the old guide given to US by
Washington new time table

now-rlt was right then. when

back the Supreme Court ruled
not for the people, nut
for the money power against
the will of the people.
There is Que decision that we

several that we could speak Of,
but Shall not now, TIE deci'
sion of the court against. Fred

Then the voice of the people,
came that is President Taft who
should voice the people: pardon

must have voiced the people,
for he himself said that Fred
U. Warren was a guilty man.
Now this is the only way that
we can sum up the evidence
President Taft gives in pardon

him on his own say 20, Then he
repensed OF what be had said.
For in holding Up q

THE CATTLE SITUATION

There is nothing obscure about the cattle situation, present or prospect i've. Feed conditions are such that cattle will keep coming. Feeders have little, if any, incentive to convert corn into beef at current prices, and the man who has marketed his cattle two thirds fat, has fared best for months past. A few high-priced cattle are always enough to go around, but mid dle grades can be utilized in unlimited numbers. Coarse or plain, heavy steers always get discrimination at this juncture, and no exceptaion will be made this season.
 Common cattle have been selling high, and the gatherer is abroad in the land, peering into every nook and cranny for something wearing hide. It means an early and voluminous movement of grassy trash that may result in violent price readjustment. The future of cornfed cattle is assur- ed, the market being in strong, tech nical position.

BULLS ON THE MARKET

In the wide range of western ter ritory covered in cattle receipts on the Kansas City market this week the Salt River Valley country of Arizona contributed two shipments of bulls, which were sold last Monday and Tuesday. These bulls were owned by Babbitt & Cowden of Phoenix. Three car loads of these bulls sold at S9.35 Monday. They averaged 1868 lbs. The sale made late Tuesday of the same number was at $9.15. The latter string of bulls were not quite as good in quality as the lot sold the previous day, as they consisted of Jerseys, Hol- steins and the beef breeds.-Arisona Cattleman.

WHERE SHALL WE GET WOOL, |,
By s. w. Mcclure, Secretary National
 Wool Growers Association

So far as the wool supply of our country is concerned, the war has come at a most unfortunate moment. It finds the country with limited stocks of wool on hand, and with the foreign supply, except that from Ar gentina, shut off by embargos. Also the hard winter through which the sheep country has passed means a considerable reduction in the domestic clip now being shorn.
 Probably the winter losses in the Western States will average above fifteen per cent of the total sheen stock in that area. Of course dead sheep produce hides, and when these are marketed considerable wool is ob- tained; but following a hard winter the sheep that survive usually shear light feeces. Shearing that has al- ready taken place indicates that where feed was short and storms were severe the fleece is averaging about one pound less than normal.
 The Westren States usually produce about two-thirds of our domestic wool clip, and in that area the clip will be some fifteen per cent less than last year--a serious situation for a nation at war and already short of wool.
 There are large stocks of wool available in Australia, but this wool has all been taken over by the British Government at price fifty-fve per cent higher than prevailed August l 1914, just before the outbreak of hos tilities. It was thought by the Brit, ish authorities that this wool would be needed mostly for the army, but i, was found that vessels were not avail able for its transportation to Europe an manufacturing centers.
 Now that we have become an ally of Great Britain it is just possible that she may let us have a small quantity of that wool. But even ir that event the expense of getting it to this country will be very great, ant shipping space will be scarce if avail able at all. Ordinarily it costs about two cents a pound to transport woo from Australia to Boston, but al present the cost is eight cents 2 pound and is being increased from month to month. Therefore, in the present emergency every effort must be made to conserve domestic woo supply. ...
 The National Wool Growers Asso citation, an organization made up oi the principal sheep breeders of tho country, has taken steps to meet tho emergency by suggesting several re

thusiasm. Thus far the effect on the market has been nil, as it will be months before any of this wool can possibly become available. Nothing is yet known as to whether the wool will come from London or from Australia direct, or what the method of distrib- ution will be. In any event, the amount promised is too small to be of material help to the mills in the pres ent emergency.-Bradstreets.

CLARKDALE MAN IS
 NAMED ON COMMISSION

Governor Campbell Saturday com pleted the personel of the new com mission for the management and con trol of State institutions by appoint ing as mmbers w. J. Jamieson, of Clarkdale, and John L. Gust, of Phoe- nix. These, with Doane Merrill, named by the governor on June 7th as member of the commission, com plete the membership of that new body. All appointments are to date from June 7th.
 The new commission for the man. agement and control of State institu- tions was created by a bill passed during the last legislature and takes the place of the old board of control. Doane Merrill, who was the citizen member of the board of control, is a member of the new commission. The commission met for organization. MT. Jamieson is well known construction engineer of Clarkdale and Northern Arizona. Mir. Gust is prominent at torney of Phoenix. These, with Mir, Merrill, who is a we'll known banker and business man of Southern Ari- zona, complete strong and able com mission.
 Charles Christy, of Phoenix, was selected as secretary of the commis- sion.

out-of-the-way places. The National Wool Growers Association has ap- pealed to all sheepmen to save every ounce of wool. In this way it is hoped that some 100000 pounds extra may be conserved.
 The 8,000,000 sheep that annually graze in the National Forests take with them thousands of herders and camp tenders, who spend the summer caring for the focks. But the forests must likewise be cared for. To look after them the Forest Service supplies hundreds of employees. These men put out frees, build roads and do other work to protect the forests.
 During the war the Government will need many of the forest em- ployees for other emergency work. The National Wool Growers Associa- ton has offeerd to the Forest Service the full cooperation of every Western sheepman to assist in caring for the forests during the war. These sheep herders, camp tenders and other lab orers who will be caring for our flocks can in the emergency render the gov ernment most valuable services in preventing fires and fighting those which occur.
 If our present supply of sheep is to be maintained, great volume of for age must be supplied for next winter. To meet this the sheepmen have all ready called meetings in different sec tions to discuss ways and means of increasing the supplies of hay and to urge a more careful use of grass.
 The sheepmen of the country have entered the war with the proper spirit. Already they are raising fund of several thousand dollars to be donated to the American Red Cross Society for the purchase of woolen blankets for its hospitals. They will not be found wanting when called upon Country Gentleman.

WOOL

Manufacturers have been buying freely at Boston, but there is less speculative demand from dealers, due to the necessity of waiting until the market catches up with the rapid ad- vance in values. Transactions have been mainly in South American wools, but there is a slowly broadening de- mand for new territories, with mod crate increase in receipts. Further advances have been made in some grades, and everything available is very strong if not actually higher. The British government proposes to release 45,000 bales of Australian wool to this country, but so many disappointments have been experi- enced in the past that dealers are dis posed to wait until the wool is actual ly in sight before showing any en-

forms that would increase our wool supply, or at least save the present supply of sheep.
 The last Congress passed a bill providing for 640-acre homesteads, applicable to all the grazing lands of the West. These lands were already being used to their full capacity for grazing sheep and cattle, but that fact did not appeal to Congress. In the first sixty days of the operation of the 640-acre bill homesteaders filed on more than 20,0OO,000 acres of this grazing land.
 AS the lands filed on were the most productive grazing lands, it means, reduced to sheep, that at least 3,000,- 900 head must find other grazing grounds. As there are no such grounds available, there is nothing left to do but ship the sheep to market, some of them may be bought by Eastern farmers, but as prices will be high it is safe bet that the packers will get most of them, just as they did last fall.
 Of course the land that has been filed on has not yet been designated as subject to the 140-acre law, but the man who is running sheep on such land feels that it will be designated, and as prices are high he is disposed to close out his sheep while he has the opportunity. Anyone would do the same thing in his position.
 Homesteading is of no service to the country during a period of war, for the first two years of occupancy the homesteader is not producer, as it takes him that long to get started To allow homesteading during a per iod of war simply means the with drawal of thousands of able-bodied men from the channels of production into life of nonproduction. lO Hltct tillo oitudtioH "CotclI stockmen have urged that all home steading be suspended during the period of the war. This would great. ly conserve our supply of sheep and cattle, and would add thousands of men to labor along productive chan. nels. Congress should not hesitate 9 moment to comply with such re. quest.
 About 8,0O0,O00 of our Western sheep graze annually in the National Forests. This year the number ad, mitted to the forests is less than last year. The Forest Service has met this situation by opening up to graz, 1 ing every acre of available land. IT that way much will be done to carry over stock that would otherwise be shipped to the market.
 In harvesting their wool clip, sheep, men are not always careful to gather up stray locks of wool or to get the wool from sheep that have died ir
