EXCESS PROFITS
WILL LBERETURN-
ED TO GROWERS
Sheepmen Receive Good
Returns From Wool Sold
To Dealers At Low Prices
UNITED Press Service)


WASHINGTON, D. c. Aug, ,12:-
Collection of excess profits from wool
dealers is under way and their dis
tribution to wool growers will begin
in short time, the Department of
Agriculture announces
Reports thus far received show
that excess profits were made by
about 10 per cent of the Country
dealers. Correspondence with "dis-
tributing center" dealers indicate
that some of them accumulated SUBJ
stantial amounts in excess profits.
Auditing of accounts involves large
amount of work, but when completed
the Bureau of Markets will enclose
cular letter giving the name of the
finn which handled the wool and
which has returned the excess pro-
fits of which the customer is re-
ceiving his share.
During tie war the government
paid dealers a fixed commission on
consigned wool, so the excess profits
were made only on that part of the
wool which they bought outright.

House draft of the Prohibition En-
forcement Bill with many drastic
provisions eliminated, including that
making property owners liable to
punishment if they chad reason to be-
lieve that the property was being
used in violation of the Prohibition
Amendment" substituting an amend
ment providing that such knowledge

mittee, it was feared that over zeal
Gus enforcement agents might use
the provision improperly.

alcholized wines; and it exempted

toilet preparations and articles, all
flavoring extracts and medical prep
arations "unfit for beverage pur-
poses." The requirement that all such
must bear labels showing the amount
of alchol contained, was stricken out

Another auto was stolen in Leon
about | o'clock Monday morning
the Ford Of John Hardin being taken
from his yard across the street from
the time The Reporter went to press
no trace of it had been found. The
theft was not discovered until 6
o'clock Monday morning. SO the thief
had five or six hours the start, and
could drive long ways in that time.
The car was new one, bought only
few weeks Sen ag9 tRs state stat Tic License
gine number ;r, a,2o1.274. It was va
sorbers and a Yale lock, but the lock
did not prevent it being stolen.
An attempt was also made the
same night. to steal the new Ford
Sedan owned by Fred Teale, which
was standing on the north side of
his house. At one O'Clock Mrs.
Teale and son Bob were aroused by
the barking of Bob's Airdale, which
was in the cellar, and they got up,
to see if the car was standing there,
but it was alright, so they went back
to bed, and soon the dog stopped
barking. Monday morning when
Fred Teale went to start the car he
found the key missing and one of
the doors standing open, and the
brake had also been released. 1t is
thought the thief or thieves had re-
leased the brake and were going to
push the car away from the house
before starting the engine but the
viligance of the dog scared them
away, and they went less than a
block north and took Mr.. Hardin s
Ford touring car. Mr.. Hardin went
to Des Moines to try to locate the
