THE WOOL SITUATION

There is nothing of more impor-
lance to Idaho today that is receiving
nation wide consideration than the
proposal to give some sort of relief
to sheep men to enable them to car.
ny this years wool clip until such
time as they can receive a just and
equitable price for it. At present,
there it no wool market. Concerns,
ordinarily purchasing vast quantities
are not in the market. They simply
refuse to take wool at any price.
The federal reserve system of ma
tional banks is making sincere ef-
fort to relieve the situation which
confronts western sheep men as a
result of the market slump.
But whatever means may be involv-
ed to carry sheepmen until reason
able wool market is re-established can
only be temporary expedient. Fun
damentally. the problem is one of
the operation of the law of supply
and demand. Through the use of old
wooden garments, coupled with small
percentage of virgin wool. manufac-
turers of mems clothing have been
able to SO conserve virgin wool that
there is today approximately billion
pounds of that material in warehouses.
Mems clothing, designated as "ali
WOOL are true to name but in almost
every suit of clothes labeled that way,
a considerable portion of the wool
has been used at least once before,
some of it many times. Purchasers
who fancy that they are buying clothes
made entirely from virgin wool are
confronted with the somewhat start
ling news that in acutality much of
the wool in the suit they buy has
adorned another's back. 1t is for the
two fold purpose of protecting such
purchasers and to utilize the vast
quantities of wool which have knocked
the bottom from this years wool mar
ket and may be expected to continue
to do so in the future which prompt
ed legislation now pending in congress
which would compel manufacturer of
clothing to label their goods with the
percentage of old wool, or "shoddy,"
which has been used. Certainly buy
ers of clothing, as we'll as of other
things now covered by similar feder-
al legislation, are entitled to know
exactly what they are buying.
"Shoddy" probably has little in.
fluence on the serviceability of clothes.
Certainly, the use of old material in
conjunction with just enough virgin
wool to give the cloth stability and
durability, is commendable economy.
But there are many buyers of cloth
ing who are able and anxious to buy
pure virgin wool cloth. They are en-
titled to that privilege without hav-
ing to confront that camouflage, all
WOOL" which is some way has come
to mean virgin wool" to the average
man.
Idaho sheepmen. upon whose well
fare the welfare of large portion of
Idaho depends, cannot expect perman-
ent relief until something is done to |
rectify this situation. We believe
that the truth in fabric" bill will eff |
feet that result.

FARM LABOR

in obtaining men to aid in harvestin,

men. young. healthy, vigorous an.
looking for work"
They are firm believers in "selectiy,
service" asking mere pittance O
$lO per day and are extremely cir
cumspect regarding the sort of EN-
ployment that they accept. 1t may b,
tyranny but with the world cryins
for food, it SENS some means shoulc
be available to compel these men ant
others like them to do something.
This is no day for idleness. What
the United States needs and worle
needs is more production, more good.
and consequently more wealth.
Perhaps it is continually recurren,
but certainly there is much talk TO-DAY
OF the inagility of men to get ahead
to mass the fortunes that have al
ways been the reward of perseverance
and industry. OF course, such talk
i tommyrot, GO West" is no more
applicable because there is no west
But the country is still growing up,
there never was a time when hard
work could bring greater recompensc
Sitting on the street corner four days
between each day of labor won't ee,
anyone ahead, any more than it would
in 1887 A. D., in 81 B. C. or any other
time.
A national danger is exemplified in
Caldwell where men can see crops in
danger and idle away the days. There
is great talk today about back to
the farm" movements and advice urg-
ing young men to pursue an agricul-
tural life in preference to leaving for
industrial centers. And of the i'm
pending food shortage which may
reach something of famine dimensions
before another year, there can be no
question. Possibly the time is COM
ing when something more stringent
than mere talk will be employed to
induce idle men everywhere to do
something. It IS not the men who are
honestly turning out a DAYS work
every day anywhere, whether on lux
uries or on necessities, that are instru-
mental in causing the decadence of
many formerly rich farming districts.
Credit for this national peril must go
to those who see fit to work one dayI
at high wages and remain idle week
on what they earned in a few short
hours of labor.

DR.. JUNGMAN AGAIN
PRESENT FOR EXAM
Physician Already Heads Civil
Service List for Hos
pitaI Post
FIRST HELD 2 MONTHS AGO

Dr. John d. Jungman, 524 North
Fourth street, who passed n civil serv-
ice examination for the post of superin-
tendent Of city hospitals two months
ago, was among the applicants who
took examination for that position to-
day. ....
Although he had the highest average
of all competitors for the post in the
was not appointed. The physician also
landed in first place in the examinations
for the position of assistant supcrin-
tendent.
George G. Signor, who passed number
two in the first examination, was ap-
pointed assistant superintendent OF
hospitals. No superintendent was
named.
When Director Furbush, of the De-
partment of Public Health, failed to
appoint Doctor Jungmann to the post
of superintendent, the latter sent let
ter to the Civil Service Commission
criticising the director. This communi-
cation aroused the indignation of Di-
rector ,Furbnsh, who declared at that
time that Doctor Jungmann would not
be appointed under any consideration.
The fact that the physician is again
taking the examination appears to bear
out report that an amicable under
standing has been reached by Doctor
Jungmann and Director FHrbush
Six other men are also taking the
examination for the post of superin-
tendent, and three for that of assist
ant superintendent. Despite the fact
that the latter post is already filled by
Signor. Charles Neeld, secretary Of the
commission. said the. examination for
that post was held to prepare against
any emergency.

tions were the following: ''For this

force or the shoulder strap, the holy
shoulder strap. Abolish the shoulder
strap aristocracy.
