MERCER COUNTY
WOOL POOLHAS
GIVEN PROFITS
Ship Comparatively 1900 Pounds
Sheep Men Save Apprexi-
mateIy 30 Per Cent.

The second year Of the cooper
alive wool pool Of Mercer county
! farmers was a pronounced success
Examination of the records in
the hands of Advisor P S. Richey
Of the Mercer County Crop I'M
provement association prove the
foregoing statement beyond all
doubt.
Figures compiled by Mr.. Richey
show that during the early sum
mer months Mercer county wool
growers comparatively shipped to
the Chicago market Just $4,000
pounds Of wool, shorn from sheep
grown in the county. Consign-
ments were billed TO the National
Wool Warehouse and Storage
company, where hundreds of thous-
ands Of pounds of wool we're COL
lected from various shipping points
in the state
MERGERS total ranks above that
of any other county in Illinois, and
just pride in the progress attained
is experienced by Mr. Richey and
those boosters of the county who
were instrumental IN having this
record established.
Sg1Etea rear ago.
A year ago saw Mercer county's
first wool pool. Purpose OF the
pool is to eliminate the travelling
buyer for the large firms by ship
ping comparatively direct to the
manufacturer of wooden goods.
Thus is the middleman's profit cut
out. and the sheep grower enabled
to sell direct on a basis of quality.
1t is the immediate Outgrowth of
the cooperative marketing plan,
which met with such approved
among the farmers.
The total number of fieece5
shipped this year morn than tri-
pied the number of pounds sent to
Chicago in 1918. Its value is esti-
mated by County Agent Richey at
approximately $45, 900. Through
the wool pool Mercer county sheep
men saved about 30 per cent or
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Still Some On Hand.
Although a goodly share Of the
cooperative wool shipment has
been sold by the National Ware
house and Storage company, there
yet remains a considerable guam
ttty to dispose Of eDlay was oc-
casioned by a hault in grading,
caused by the race riot and labor
strikes popular in Chicago during

Returns to wool consignors will

checks will be sent each shipper |
by mail, according TO announce

THE SHEPHERDS GIFT.
BY LILLIAN ALVES at Nine Years of
Age.

Ills Christmas, and the air is frosty,
The sleigh bells jingle on their way
The stars wink down in friendly fash
ion
They know that this is Christmas
day.
1t makes us think of that dear story
OF the star that guided the shepherd
band
To the little babe lying in the manger
Far across the desert sand
The Wise Men brought him priceless
jewels
And riches from the foreign lands,
But what was the gift of the tired
travellers.
The wanderers of the shepherd band
\ little white lamb was all they of
fered.
Twas the only thing they had to
bring;
Twas the one thing they cared for
more than the others,
This was their Gift to the little King.
The babe looked Wonderingly at the
treasures,
Looked at the gifts from many lands.
Until he saw the gift of the shepherds,
Then did he hold out his tiny hands.
For all the treasures they had brought
him,
OF all the gifts. both large and small,
The little lamb the shepherd had given
He loved by far the best of all

BROUGHT TOGETHER BY WAR
Pleasing Incident on the Western
Front In Which Sectarianism
Played Small Part.

An army chaplain of the Episcopal
he had on the western front when his
regiment was quartered In little
town. The Huns had destroyed every
thing there. not even leaving build
ing to hold services in. A part of his
story is as follows:
FINALLY I went to see the Roman
Catholic chaplain, fine, broad. big
hearted Irishman from Boston. Why
not use the church, he said at once.
But thought It was destroyed, and
anyway, I didn't suppose you'd let
me- I answered. Well, they had put
a roof on in place of the original one,
and the altar hadn't been hurt, so at
eight O'Clock in the morning he said
mass in the church, and at 8 AS had
my Protestant communion service. and
at $50 there was another mass"
In this little narrative we can see
the beautiful logic of the war. The
sacrifice on the awful battle line is
not far different from that of Cal
vary, for in each case the blood Is
shed for all. We are not going to be
so hidebound in our religious views
and practices when the battles for
freedom and civilization have been
won. There will doubtless be Cath
olics, Methodsts and Jews after the
war is over, but they will love one
another.-Ohio State Journal.

WOULD REORCANIzE
THE STATE MILITIA

Trenton, April l6.-For the purpose
of being in position to meet any
emergency which might arise within
the confines of the state, Adjutant Gen
eral Frederick GilkyS0n has renewed
Il request he made some time ago
through Governor Edge to the war de-
partment for permission to organize
two regiments of National Guard in
fantrN. The requests have been for
authority under the provisions of Sec
lions 60 and 81 of the national defense
act of 1916. In the last request for
this permission General Gilkyson said
among other things:
During the past two months there
have been numerous labor difficulties
in many sections of the state, and at
present there are strikes in Morris and
PasSaic counties, involving over 10000
laborerS. The growing discomfort on
the part of labor and the large tenn
pOrary foreign population increase the
liability of riot and disorder, which
facts in my opinion, justify the au-
thoriZat ton by the federal authorities
of an adequate military force for the
purpose of securing proper protection
for the people and industries of the
state and to meet any emergency and
suppress riot or disorder which may
arise beyond the power of local author
tiles to quell."

Preserve the Trees

Probably the most highly priced
tree in the world is the avocado pear
tree in California, which returns an
annual income of $1,000, and was once
insured for $4,000. AS to trees in
general. immediate money returns su-
persede in most minds, sentiment or
natural beauty. A Landscape robbery"
which caused the robbers" no COM
Functions, was the cutting of a SPLEEN
did yellow poplar which for several
generations had been landmark
among the Cumberland hills. The for
est monarch. yielded over 1000 feet
of f1rst-class lumber, valued at SILL
600. There was no one to cry wood
man, spare that tree" whose protest
counted against its destruction. The
countryside has lost natural beauty
never to be restored; the owner has
money in his pocket AS Joyce Kill
mer wrote: "Only God can make a
