BUYERS OF WOOL
GET NO PROFITS
GOV e r N m ENT COMMANDERS
ENTIRE PRODUCT FOR
WAR PURPOSES.
PRESENT DEALERS TO
RECEIVE COMMISSION
Will Be Allowed 8 Per cent For All
Purchases and All Wool Will Be
Turned Over to Government-Prices
TO Be Fixed by Federal Agents.

All wool buyers such as H. Willard
will buy wool for the government and
for nobody else. The price they are to
pay will be fixed by the government
and they will be allowed a commission
of per cent for handling and shipping,
a commission which removes all profit
from the wool business SO far as the
buyer is concerned. The government
has Communicated the entire wool clip
of the country and will fix prices upon
the basis of the wool market as it stood
on July 80 of last year.
At q meeting of the wool dealers at
Washington on Wednesday, May l, the
government announced that a commits
sion Of 3 per cent will be allowed to
dealers for ungraded raw wool and ~
,per cent for graded Licenses will be
issued by the government to known
dealers, who in turn will receive orders
from Washington for distribution of
the wool to the mills.
Mr. Penwell. of Montana, with head
quarters in Washington. has charge of
the distribution of the wool in the
United States. Mr.. Penwell says that
all licensed dealers both east and west
must take wool on consignment only,
and will not be permitted to buy.
The wool administrator has directed
all dealers to suspend buying on their
own account and merely handle wool
on consignment until the governments
regulations are out as to gradings. The
new prices and gradings will be those
yet to be fixed by the government and
not those which have ruled before in
the wool markets.

BEEF PRICES TO FALL.
Growing Pastures the cause-Now a,
Maximum Price.


The announcement that the prices of
beef will tumble considerably within
tho next few weeks Will come as vel
come news to the housewife as well as
the age-earner, who is Obliged TO
fork" over a neat little sum to the
butcher every time she wishes to have
TIE family dine on meat. Pastures in
the latter part of slay and in June
will be fourishinG and as result cat
tie will be in better shape and beef
prices will not only stop soaring but
will fall TO an appreciate extent,
butchers say. Along with beef prices
will Of course go butter, cheese ard
other dairy products.
Beef has at the present time at
tanned the maximum prices ever
known. Some dealers are getting rs
high as 40 cents a pound for the con-
ventional round steak so highly re-
garded by the working man asa stand
ard for a hungry stomach. Roast beef
is just as high in proportion, as rounds
and sirloins. All cuts are considered
almost luxury in inost homes.
AS far as pork is concerned it will
without doubt remain high. The COM
ing on of hot weather always tends
to increase inc cost of swine l,esh on
account Of the difficulty of handling it.
The butchers ut the Same time sell ii
on a narrower margin.

The Provdest Moment

Oh, no! A fellows proudest mo-
uent was not the time he came out
on top in his first scrap with the kid
next door" Nor was it the first time
he saw" Mary Jane home from the
party. Nor, again, was 1t when she
named the day"
1t wasn't when he made his biggest
business deal; got his largest raise
became a partner in the concern and
was paying an income tax.
And while this, too, was proud mo
nent, the proudest OF all was no,
when the frst-born came, nor was II
when the youngster first lisped dada.
All those were big moments, mo
ments most every fellow remembers
long and happily, but the real proud
est moment was the first time when

He Wanted Bargains.

A day or two ago small boy with
two pennies in his possession entered
q local periodical store and spent soma
time in selecting postcard Finding
one to suit him he handed the pro-
prietor a penny. The price of the
card was five cents and the proprietor
said he did not have any penny cards
but the wistful look on the boys face
prompted the proprietor to pocket his
loss and let the boy keep the card
Then the boy produced his other pen
ny and asked for fountain pen, but
the proprietor promptly refused to
do any more business with the youth

tending store was no job for a nervous

MIX and Milk Dishes.


The value Of milk for the growing
family can never-be too often express
ed. In these days when feed for the
cattle costs so much more than
formerly, when labor is higher and
very scarce the dairyman must raise
his price Of milk or 60 out of bust
ness. Milk at IL to Is cents a quart
is cheaper food than meat. Cut down
on other foods but never on the milk
for the family, for IN 1t are the growth
determinants or growth stimulants
which are so essential for good body
framework and healthy blood. The yolk
of egg and good butter are also rich IN
this growth stimulant. A growing child
should have If possible three glasses
of milk per day, even when eating the
usual amount of solid foods found In
vegetables and cereals, milk is not a
beverage, It is food.
Milk with eggs IN the form Of GUS
tards is one of the best, most whole
some and easily digested desserts for
young people.
SKINNED milk may be bought cheap
ly and Is most nutritious food, lack
ing only in fat, which may be supplied
in other ways.
For cream soups skinned milk may
be used, and egg added to supply the
lack of fat with butter and flour used
in the binding makes it Is as good as
whole milk. Cold skinned milk may
be given the children at meals for their
drink in summer and hot In winter.
If plenty Of good butter is supplied
the child will be well fed. Cheese in
various forms may be used tn the place
of meat; as souffies with macaroni In
cream sauce over toast, in cream po-
tatoes or esealloped potatoes and in
many other dishes which will occur to
the house mother. A simple and
wholesome supper dish which fs-easy
to prepare is the following:
Spread the required number Of slices
OF bread with butter, place IN shall
low granite baking pan, cover each
slice with a thick layer OF finely cut
cheese, or grated cheese may be used
If it Is dry, then pour over enough
milk and eggs to cover the cheese.
Use one egg for every cupful of milk
used, add salt and a dash Of cayenne
pepper, then bake until the custard
is set. Serve hot.
A glass Of hot milk for the restless
child upon going to bed will often
prove most soothing. Milk is too val
,,,hIo a food IN hn Sliphtad or cut ont
of the diet because of IT'S cost. 1t will
be far better to cut down on the meat
and buy more milk.

Amazing facts were disclosed by NJ

the United States, in his address to the
Southern commercial congress, empha-

of wheat from this country to the all
lies.
While the food administration Ii

to cut their wheat consumption from
three pounds to pound and half q
week or, If they will, to totally abstain
from the use Of wheat -four until the
next harvest, the French people are on
bread cards allowing only about one-
third the average consumption Of
wheat products in that country.
Even the bread ration of the French
soldier has been cut nearly 20 per cent.
Feeding horses and cattle on grains
that can be used for bread has been
prohibited.
By killing the live stock that cannot
be fed, the French people have had
meat to eat, which. in turn, has re-
duced their consumption Of cereals.
The manufacture Of pastry and bis-1
cults and fancy bread has been pro-.
hibited in France.
Sugar consumption has been reduced
40 per cent.
Rice consumption has been reduced
81 per cent.
Imports Of oils and fats have been
reduced IS per cent.
Yet the French have fought for four
years. With the American soldiers

against the wall, and said: Charlie,
who murdered old man ~Phelps?' and
repeated it several times"
"Did you hit him ?" asked Kohn.
"Well, not very hard.
~ grabbed him and said, Charlie,
who killed old man Phelps?' three or
four times, roughlike. Charlie said, Il
don't know l rushed at him again,
grabbed him by the throat, and said:
You - -, who killed Mr.. Phelps 2
He answered, Il don't know! 1 don't
know l grabbed him again and said,
Come along with me We took him
in the machine to the hotel and held
him there all night. The three of US
went at him all night, hammer and
tongs. I finally told him that if he
would tell me that Nelson shot Phelps
1 would let him go home to his wife.
But after he made these admissions l
notified the District Attorney, the
sheriff and called in the county treas
urer, before whom he made full con-
fession."

so many people having worked on the
case without success and you jumping
on this man, fairly forcing the con-
fession out Of him as you did, in view
of the fact that all these other de-
tective agencies had such strong cir
cumstantial evidence against these
ether parties?"
"Well," came the answer, "that was
the master mind over the weaker
VICTIM"
With this record and the affidavits
of himself and others who had taken
part in or overheard Newton's story
Kohn went to Albany with Miller tt
