A local order of the Maine Sheep

president, NJ. l.. Goodhue, Oakland !;
secretary, D. w. Ellis, Fairfield: eX-
ecutive committee. the above officers
and c. H. Drummond of Winslow and
John Drake Of Waterville.
The membership of the Waterville
Local, by which name the local or
ganization is identified, will include
all sheep men whose shipping point
would naturally be Waterville. The
purpose of the order is not to in
crease the price of the wool to the
consumer, but to give the grower a
better price by eliminating the pro-
fits of the middleman, as the wool
often passes through six or seven
hands before reaching the mill.

been determined that an all-wool

seven dollars worth of wool, so it is
, readily seen that the producer gets
only small part of the profits on
clothing.
