HIGH COST OF YARN
CAUSED BY FACTORY
Can't Be Blamed ON Sheer
men," Says Wool Grower
y. From Idaho.

Someone has been spreading tn
statement among Red Cross knitter
that the wool men are boarding thei
wool and profiteering, but the state
ment doesn't hold water" says Les
ter Sewell, of Payette, Idaho. who i!
in Portland to dispose of his wool
Il met young man on a traiI
while going to Salt Lake a few days
ago, and he complained that because
of the high price of wool a $25 suit
now costs $50. 1 told him that there
is not to exceed two and one--hali
poundss of wool in suit, and gen
orally one and one-half to two
pounds and that the wool in the
suit represents about 81.
"On the train coming to Portland
met two young women knitting
sweaters. l asked them how much
they paid for their yarn and they
informed me the cost was 81 a
pound
Now the price of wool yarn for
sW tiers is entirely too high in ac-
cordance with the way wool has been
eslling for thu passt year. The wool
in the Warehouse in Portland Is
shrinking from 4S to 6s peg cent and
is bringing from so to 63 cents a
ppound. l can consistently say that
wool has not sold higher, and that
the yarn is selling at least as high
again as it should. The cost of the
yarn is creating a wrong impression
among people who do not understand
the subject, and they imagine that
the sheepmen are profiteerins. Il
believe that the manufacturer should
be looked after in regard to the
price of the yarn and the wooden
products that go into clothes.
Il have been ready at all times to
sell my wool, but have not had an
offer. 1t ISIS for sale any ay at the
lays market The woolmen have
offered their clip to the government
md the offer continues to held. I
isited the Columbia Basin ware

as, and that the wool ISIS being grad

Favors Early Motherhood

Doctor Bell writes in the journal Of
Heredity, Washington, D. c., with the
statistical proof that young women IN.
questionably make better mothers than
those who have postponed the respon-
sibility of maternity until after thirty
years of age. He favors early mar
riages and youthful motherhood on the
ground that, contrary to popular opln-
ion, the offspring Of young mothers
nave finer vitality and are the peers
II not the superiors intellectually Of
children born of older parents.

MINING AND AFTER
WAR PROSPERITY

The Mining and Financial Record
says: "a majority of authorities be-
lieve that for an extended period
following a declaration of peace
thare will be a strong market for
metals OF all kinds The rehabilita-
ton Of Europe will result in a
heavy drain on our mines, and while
large quantity of the suppliess need
ed will be produced by the stricken
countries themselves, they will, of
necessity, purchase considerable
amount in the IT, S. Added to this,
consumption in the U. S. should be
heavy. 1t must not be forgotten that
many projects requiring mstals have
been held up for a number of years,
creating a source Of demand that
undoubtedly will be enormous. In the
building line, particularly, which
uses so many millions Of tens of
metals, activity has been at stand
still, and a boom in building looms
as a certainty. Then, again the manu-

which metal is employed has been ex
tensiYely curtailed in order to in |
crease the war munitions output. |
New stocks, requiring vast amount
OF material, must be fabricated be-
Zero conditions again may be said
to have reached a normal basis.
Therefore, while 1t is evident Eu-
rore must use much metal for its
it is becoming in
creasirgly evident that many indus
tries in the U. S. will also be in
need of reiuvenation, and will be i'm
portant customers of the mines.
There is every reason to anticipated
3 decided revival in mining after
the war, in logical keeping with met
al conditions the world over.
In the meantime let every west
ern state whose prosperity depends
areely on mining see to it that
axHticn and legislative measures -

decision to acknowledge the indepen-

commissarics' council today.

Presumably the council Of commits
sarics-that is n meeting of the various
executives which the Bolshcvili named
to administer various cities and states
of Russia represents the will of the
Bolsheril Government itself.
The decision to acknowledge Ckrain-

for the CossaclS rebels. The Eorniloff-
kaledines revolt, however, did not
originate in tkrainia. but when that
