ANNUAL MEETING OF
WOOL GROWERS

Yesterday flockmasters from every
nook and corner of the San Juan
basin assembled here for the annual
meeting of the Wool Growers Asso-
citation. In these days when the
flockmasters are among the anoint-
ed, their gatherings are events of
Importance. The price of land and
excellent range facilities are among
the features that make this an ideal
section for sheep raising. But here
as we'll as elsewhere expenses of
maintaining flocks have increased by
leaps and bounds. The high price of
feed, the new grazing rates and the
present labor schedules necessitate
a proportionate increase in the sheep
mems wares.l Twelve months ago
when the lamb crop brought an aver
age of eight and one-fourth cents all
were well pleased with the returns.
Yesterday afternoon when three
buyers, A. II. Long, E. E. Hatcher
and Charlie Heathers offered Is
cents for the crop, their propositions
were turned down. This years wool
crop brought prices ranging from 36
to as cents, and about million and
half pounds were sold. Believing
that better results will be secured by
cooperative marketing, plans were
perfected for an association storage,
which will probably be located in Du-
range. The wool will be held in this
storage until prices warrant its sale.
Methods of feeding, range rights,
etc, were discussed. Officers elect
ed for the ensuing year are W. E.
Minner, PRECEDENT; Andy Majors, first
vice president, Thos. Gouldirg End
vice PRESIDENT A. L. Davis, secre-
tary; Ross Martinez, treasurer. The
members of the executive board are

RED CROSS WORKING TO
LOCATE BRITISH MISSING

LONDON, July 2S.-(By MaiI0--
Of the thousands of British families
who have waited in dread anxiety for
final news of relatives posted as mis-
sing, few have known how much ef-
fort was being made to relieve Their
fears. The fact that the army con.
tirrcs-s lazss corps Of men who
spend all their time searching for
missing men is not generally known.
These searchers, now an important
branch of the Red Cross, are the ne
suit of visit paid to France by
Lord Robert Cecil in the early days
OF the war. He had gone to seek
news of friend among the comrades
who had taken part in the engage
ment that resulted in the friends
name being listed among the missing.
It occurred to him that there were
thousands of men and women at home
as anxious as he, but unable to make
such a personal investigation. The
result was the organization of the
searchers department.
The hospitals are the principal
scenes of the searchers' work. With
book containing the names of men
missing for months they make the
rounds, following up clues and sug-
gestions that may lead to the clear
ing up of the individual mysteries
The work requires tact and intel
ligence and, above all, patience.
