POOLING WOOL HERE
At Fair Grounds 81, 900 Pounds Ready
for Shipment.

for Shipment.
Wool growers in forty three Kansas
counties, together with Missouri. Ne
hraska, Indiana. Illinois and Iowa
have pooled their product for ship
ufacturers. according to o. F. Blecha,
Shawnee county farm agent. At the
fair grounds in Topeka there are a.
ASH pounds of wool. the total produc-
ton of Shawnee county, awaiting
shipment.
1t was originally estimated that
Kansas would produce about $4,000
pounds of wool this year. but later re-
ports indicate approximately 100000
pounds. Blecha was unable to esti-
mate what the production of the other
cooperating states will be. Shipments
will be made TO the National Wool &
Storage Co, or Chicago. Blecha said.
The decision to pool their wool was
reached by the wool growers at a
meeting in Blecha's office May 81, in
which seventeen Kansas counties were
represented. Similar decisions were
made at meetings in other parts of the
state. 1t was pointed out that the To-
cal freight rate on wool to Chicago is
$1.10 a hundred pounds. BY ship
pin jointly the producers set a rate
of fifty-five cents.
While it is probable that some of
the other states mentioned will pro-
duce more wool than Kansas this
year-especially Iowa. which is the
largest wool producing state east of
the Rocky mountains-the shipments
to the one Chicago concern will not
amount to a large per cent of the
United States production. During
1919 America produced 2S5, ass. 900
pounds of wool

WHOLESALE PRICE
OF BEEF DROPS
Official Says Retailers
Should Reduce Prices 20 Per
Cent or. BE Boyeotted.

BOSTON, July I-Sec. Bernard p.
Scanlon of the commission on the neces-
saries of life said yesterday: 1.-The public
should insist upon getting beef at prices
which are 20 per cent lower than those
.of last week Prices of the wholesalers
have dropped from 30 and 81 cents to "a
and % cents for beef carcasses, and there
is no reason why this drop should not be
reflected in the price to the consumer.
Rump steak which sold last week for 81
pound should now be selling for no
more than so cents and a similar reduc-
ton of 20 per cent should be found on
prices for other steaks and roasts
Some retailers have already reduced
their prices to conform to the reduction
in wholesale prices, but others have taken
no notice of it. Dealers who refuse to
reduce their prices 20 per cent for beef
should be boycotted.

cuts of beef which arc now very high

Same Feeling at San Fran
cisco that Republicans
Had Against Wood
FAVORITE SON
MANAGERS HOPEFUL
Think Their Men May Profit BY the
Deadlock - Convention Sure Nc
Adoo Would Accept If Nominated
His Strategy Feared.


Especial Despatch to The Reformer
Copyright 1920.
SAN FRANCISCO, July Anything
to beat McAdoo.
That's the lineup here today. Back of
the movement are not merely the man
ayers of the Cox and Palmer candidates.,
but those who have the faint hope that
favorite son may be nominated-some
dark horse who has a few votes now but
who may grow as Harding did at Chicago
if the leaders in the race are eliminated.
The Democrats may be the last people
to admit that they would initiate any
thing Republican, but the spell of the
Republican strategy seems to be upon
some of the managers here. just as
there was a combination to beat Leonard
Wood at Chicago, there a coalition afoOt
to defeat McAdoo. The states who have
dark horses to trot forth are being
urged to hold their votes intact for dark
horses. The Palmer and Cox managers
feel that if McAdoo does get up to 500
votes or so, the veto power which they
hold of one third of the votes or the OPP
position of the favorite son delegations
will be sufficient to stop the advance of
| McAdoo.
Anything which gives the impression
| that MeAdoo is an active candidate not
outstanding his professions to the con
trary gives an opportunity to opponents
of MCAdOo to keep on questioning his
sincerity. And delegates are quick to do
those things. They are already saying
McAdoo is party to a game of super
strategy here and are attacking him for
4 it.
! Another thing, suppose McAdoo
| doesn't win the nomination here. Some
of his friends believe that if his name is
presented formally along with the other
| candidates, he viii never be able to
erase the impression that he sought the
nomination. Mr.. Hoover's sad expert
ence after he had insisted that he was
not candidate is being mentioned as

5000 CLERKS DROPPED.
Congress Did Not Appropriate Money to

WASHINGTON, July Upwards Of
5000 government clerks were dropped
from the federal payrolls yesterday the
last day of the governments fiscal year.
Most OF them were from the war depart

Before the war there We're about

100000 here at that time 1t is the ulti-
mate intention to reduce the list to some
thing like $4,000, the increase from 10000
being due to additional enterprises, such
as the war risk insurance bureau.

feeling that if this convention wants
McAdoo, it knows where he stands and
it knows that he would accept if drafted.
He said in a telegram after the Georgia
primaries that no true Democrat could
refuse the presidential nomination if ten
dered to him. The sting of the son-in-
law argument is still felt. One of the
