WOOL NOT CAUSE
OF CLOTHING COST
WOOL MEN DENY CLAIM OF MAN.
UFACTURERS THAT WOOL
is THE CAUSE

SALT LAKE CITY.=(By A P.)-
The statement OF Henry R. King of
Seattle in an address before the Ma,
tional Retail Clothers' association at
Chicago Tuesday that clothing prices
Will advance from 25 to 40 per cent,
partly because of higher wool prices,
was characterized as absurd by DR..
S. W. Mcclure, secretary of the Ma
tional Wool Growers association yes
terday. Mr.. King said before the
clothiers that Australian wool had
increased from $1.14 a pound in 1914
to $40 pound now.
"The truth of the matter is that
wool is no higher today in Boston,
the wool market of the country, than
it was 80 days ago." DR.. Mcclure de-
clared, "and the highest price yet paid
for clean secured wool in Boston is
around $210 per pound for the very
finest grade.
Best Grade is Cheap.
Ordinary three-eighths blood wool,
out of which soldiers uniforms we're
made and which is the most useful
grade for clothing purposes, is SELL
ing today in Boston at from $1.30 to
$1.40 per pound, secured. This wool
has not advanced in the last 30 days.
ITO manufacture a suit of mans
clothing, suitable for the average
sized individual and made of medium
winter weight goods, requires about
81 ounces of wool, which wool can
be bought in Boston today at $525.
This is on the presumption that the
suit is made of all wool. Such suits
as this retail today at from $50 to $75.
~ Worth Maximum in Suit.
IF one were to use in this suit
the very finest wool grown not more
than 81 worth could be used.
"The price of wool has not been
responsible for the advance in the
price of clothing, and even at present
wool values the wool required to man.
ufacture suit represents less than
10 per cent of the price at which such
suit is retailed.
There may be some reason for ad-
yanclng the price of clothing DR..
Mcclure asserted, "but it can not be
blamed on the price of WOOL"
"Suits to Be SIS to $10O'
CHICAGO.-The statement that high
prices are due to under-pro-
duction, resulting from the 44-hour
week in factories, was challeged yes
-erday by Sidney Hillman, president
)f the Amalgamated Garment Work
ers of America.
Mr.. Hillman entered the meeting of
he National Association of Retail
Jlothiers, one of whose members had
made the statement, maintained pro-
luction had increased and promised
o attend again today and prove his
ssertions.
The clothiers were startled by Mr..
lillman's act, but promised him

kEADR|CK TO HOLD
NEW BOND ELECTION
COMMISSIONERS OF HIGHWAY
DISTRICT THINK BONDS WILL
CARRY NEXT TIME

KENDRICK.- The bond issue for
the improvement of the roads in. the
Kendrick highway district was de-
feated on account of the very unfav-
orable weather which prevented many
of the voters getting out to vote. The
returns show the election was lost bv
three votes but it is expected a new
election will be called at an early
date and that then the bonds will be
voted by large majority.
1t was generally believed the bonds
would carry by good majority and
with many of the roads almost i'm
passable, many of the voters who are
in favor of the improvement remained
in their homes, depending upon the
other electors to put over the bond
issue. The defeat of the bonds is a
keen disappointment to all advocates
of better highways and is regarded
as very unfavorable reflection on
the community in face of the large
bond issues voted for highway i'm
provements by neighborng districts.
1t is expected there will be an insist
ent demand for an opportunity to
again submit the highway improve
ment program to the voters for en-
dorsement.

JUDGE NELSON DID
MUCH WORK IN 1878
REPORT OF PROBATE JUDGE
AND CLERK OF DISTRICT
COURT SHOWS ACTIVITY

Fees collected by Adrian Nelson in
his two offices-probate Judge and
clerk of the district court--lacked
but few dollars of being double the
amount of his salary, while the fines
and costs and inheritance tax brought
the total earnings of his dual office
to almost five times the salary he
drew from the county. Thus his of
fices have been a valuable source of
income for the county instead of an
expense. Judge Nelson filed his an
nual report yesterday and it shows
that this dual officer, whose salary
is $1,700 per year, earned in fees
in full as filed and sworn to yester-
day, follows:

Good Seed Wheat to Be Found.

The Farm Bureau has made ar
rangements with Professor Hyslop OF
Corvallis to inspect various fields of
seed wheat in Morrow county with
the idea of finding the best possible
seed available for various varieties.
without attempting to argue which
variety should be sown as proof is
scarcely sufficient to determine that
to everybody's satisfaction, 1t is un-
deniably true that we should have
better seed of the varieties we are
using. An effort will be made to Sc
cure both forty-fold and bluestem for
pui seed. Last year sufficient
quantity of hybrid wheat was import
ed for all the needs OF the county
this year, and no effort will be made
to import any Of these varieties. The
seed imported, however, will be In
spected and certified II possible as
pure seed and list made concerning
these. Any farmer who has a field

For A Greater Oregon

ITO organize, circularize and ad-
yertise Oregon" This is the purpose
of the statewide expansion movement
now under way, to encourage and
strengthen the Oregon State Chamber
Of Commerce. The state has been
organized for an extensive canvass
for budget subscriptions totaling
$3.50, 900, covering three year per-
iod, of which $1S0,000 is to be rails
ed in Portland, and the remainder
outside of Portland.
Leaders throughout the state are
taking an active part in the move
ment to match the State Chamber to
its opportunities for usefulness as a
statewide development agency,
Oregon has many natural advan-
tages, as all Oregonians know, but
its needs are many. The world does
not know of its vast acres of tillable
land uncultivated undeveloped wat
er power; unoccupied area that could
be made to support 100000 new pop
ulation; scenery to compare with
Switzerland; precious and base met
ais In the hills waiting to be mined
besides coal, petroleum and natural
gas; lumber resources and shipping
facilities-all awaiting the develop
ment and world publicity which an
organization like the State Chamber
of Commerce is best qualified tc
furnish.
The State Chamber is the logical
agency for the development of these
resources and the capitalization ol
these advantages.
The intensive canvass for funds
will begin in Heppner during the
week Of July 5th and the Gazette
Times would like to see every indus
try, firm and individual in the coun
ty-and particularly in Heppner, con
tribute to make this campaign sue
cess.

Don't Tie Up Freight Cars

To break the freight blockade, and
break ii quickly, the railroads ana
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion must have the cooperation OF ev-
cry single shipper ana consIgnee IN
the unlted States.
Shippers must speed up the load,
ing OF cars.
Consignees must speed up the un'
leading Of cars.
With hundreds OF thousands Of
freight cars on the railroad systems
it seems like a small matter when one
lone car is tied up on a siding a day
or so, waiting TO be loaded or unloaa
ed.
But this spirit, prevailing among
thousands OF freight car users, has al
overwhelming combined effect. 1t i:
cumulative, like straw piled onto ;
camel until each straw has joint re
.sponsibiIty for breaking the camel
back.
Every hour of needless delay il
loading or unloading creates cal
shortage.
Railroad congestion is holding
back the nations prosperity. 1t il
only a step from railroad congestion
to railroad paralysis. And railroad
paralysis is business paralysis.
Every shipper, every consignee
should speed up his loading and un
loading as if the breaking OF tht
freight blockade depended on eacl
individual car.
Speed your loading.
Double-speed your unloading.

What Ails The World?

What ails the world, asked big
business magazine OF its big business
readers.
OF course there were many ans
wers. The most OF them blamed the
common man, the farmer among
others. TOO many diamonds and
not enough alarm clocks said one.
Probably true. Too many silk shirts
and not enough blue flannel ones, :"
said another. No doubt. Too many
automobiles and not enough cows, :"
was third. Maybe.
But We didn't see among the list
such things as too big profits and not
enough honest dividends" and too
much display of wealth and not en-
ough old-fashioned, quiet living"
But there was one answer that ap-
pealed to us more than the twaddle
of the Pharisees. 1t read:
''Too much class consciousness and
too little common democracy and love
of humanity"
There are too many people in
America conscious that they are rich
and great, too many conscious that
they are the under dog. The rich
man who thinks he is better than
somebody else is simply purse proud
his pretentions are sure proof that
he lacks brains or that his brains are
not functioning properly. The man
who thinks he's an under dog be-
cause he works, is simply foolish and
ignorant. 1t is an ancient saying
today as 1t ever was and it will be
true forever.
But the main trouble is that there
is too little love of humanity these
days, love of your fellow human
Man is the noblest work of God and
He loves his work. If God loves your
neighbor, be he rich, poor or even a
loafer, why shouldn't you love him?
