REPORT ON WOOL
Coarser Grades of County Pool Not
Sold, But Prospects Fair

The Executive Committee OF the Ad-
olson County Sheep Growers Associa-
ton held a meeting at the office OF the
County Agent, Tuesday afternoon,
March %, 1920, and report as follows;
A very large part of the wool grown
in Addison County last year was pooled
and shipped on commission about
$4,000 pounds, to John E. MacMurtry
of 800 Church Street, New York City.
The one-half blood grade was sold for
II cents per pound. The three-eights
blood grade for y IL cents per pound.
The fine wool for 62 cents per pound.
Expenses figure about Z cents per
pound. This leaves the growers a good
price for the wool sold; but the one
fourth blood grade is not as yet sold.
This grade is the coarse grade and all
styles now call for finer wool.
E. E. Cowles of Weybridge was in
New York last week and called at
Mr.. MacMurtry's store. He reports
that he was very favorably impressed
with Mr.. MacMurtry and thought
that he was doing everything that he
could to make satisfactory sales, and
that in due time the whole deal would
work out all right Last year all
counties in New York State were fed
Grated except one, and the wool buyers
only paid from As to so cents per
pound in that county. 1t has been the
custom for some of the wool growers to
dispose of their wool early in April or
May at price far below the June
sales. Last year a good many lots
were bought at from 45 to 80 cents per
pound early, but later, when the sheep
growers started to pool their wool, the
price Immediately was raised to 90
cents per pound This was done by
the Boston dealers who hoped to
break the combine of the Association
but it failed. This year we want all
of our members who are not easily dis
couraged by last years holdings to
pool their wool together and before
shipping sell direct to some manufac-
turer for cash, f. o. b. shipping station.

The reasons for Frances recogni-

promises to recognize Russia's for

government. The French believe that
Wrangel shows more promise of over

HUNGARY MAY TRY TO

Budapest, Hungary July IT,
Those who charge there is a move

being accumulated as evidence to
support their contention. It is said
that there is now in Hungary. Am
erican canned food worth more than
$1,000,000 ready for army use. Twen-
ty-eight war tanks and large quanti-
ties of rifles have been received.
Large supplies of munitions have
been manufactured, ostensibly for
the Polish forces but the Poles have
complained that these have not reach
ed the anti-bolshevik forces.
Whatever secret intentions some
elements may have, it is said, it is
apparent that Hungary is strength
ening its armed forces to be IN a po-
sition to assume menacing attitude
toward Austria, should the Vienna
government attempt to take over
western Hungary or to combine with
Poland should communism become
dangerous among the Czechs.

Berlin and other large cities. where
street car traffic has fallen of alarm
ingly because of increased fares. are
facing the problem of reorganizing
the service, retaining only those lines
which are absolutely necessary FOR
the accommodation Of persons having
to travel long distances. Wagons and

pedestrians during recent strikes Of
street car employees have indicated
which routes through Berlin are vital

MOST POWERFUL
WIRELESS STATION


Paris, July 26.-The Lafayette
wireless station near bordeaux. de-
signed and erected by the American
forces during the war, has been turn
ed ever to the French government. It
is the most powerful plant in exis-
tence with double the range Of the
Annapolis installation
The armistice found the station
half completed and so the completion
has been slow as the urgent need Of
it no longer existed. It is to be used
as part of the comprehensive system
planned by the French service for
reaching all French colonial points by
wireless.
Eight towers of structural steel,
each within a very few feet Of the
Woolworth building IN height are
grouped IN two rows Of four to sup
port antennae that cover an aerial
surface about a mile long and
fourth Of a mile wide. Each tower
weighs $50 tons as compared with a
weight Of 270O tons for the Ei6el
tower in Paris which is only fourth
higher than the Lafayette structures.
The range of the station Is more
than 1900 miles, halfway around
the earth. Previously the largest
French station was that at Lyons
which works easily with New York,

GUATEMALAN ELECTIONS
WILL BE ORDERLY

Guatemala City, July 22.-Presi-
dent Carlos Herrera has issued a cir
cular letter addressed to all civil and
military officials throughout Guate-
mala notifying them that they shall
not in any way use their authority to
interfere with the coming elections
further than to see that "order is
maintained, that the rights of the
voters are fully protected and that
they are not molested in any way"
Hitherto elections in Guatemala,
as in some other Latin-American re-
publics, have been farcical. The jefe
politicos of the departments and their
subordinate officials commanding the
various districts and municipalities.
when an election was announced,
simply registered the names of de-
sired number of voters as voting for
the designated candidate, and turned
them in as the electoral result.
During the % years Estrada Ca
brera was in power there was only
one presidential candidate and that
was himself. On assuming the Office

Reina Barrios, ne was required by
the constitution to convene elections
for the presidential period of six
years within eight days. said elections
to be held within six months after his
assuming power Cabrera complied
with the constitution in that he called
the elections but he did not allow any
other candidate in the field.
Herrera, having been designated
vice president by the congress, as
required by law, succeeded Cabrera
as president INFERNO. and in complt-
ance with the law designated the last
week in August for the presidential
election. Besides himself, there are
two candidates in the field, Jose Lem
Castillo, who was obliged to flee the
country upon being nominated as a
candidate in opposition to Cabrera
22 years ago and General Francisco
Fuentes.
In his circular letter to the author
tiles throughout the country Presi-
dent Herrera calls attention to his
frequent declaration that it is his
purpose, so long as he remains at the
head of the government, "to adhere
strictly to the principles of true de-
mocracy," and that he viii not nullify
or permit the notification of the cleo
toral rights of any voter.
