PLAN FOR EVERYONE
TO BUY LOT OF WOOL

A nationwide campaign to stimu-
late the sale of wool has been sug-
gested by an Omaha firm as a method
of relieving the wool growers from
disaster caused by present conditions
of the market This firm has sent a
lctter broadcast for publication and
action by associations. 1t contem-
plates campaign similar to that of
Buy a bale of cotton; few years
ago
Vernon Metcalf, secretary of the Ne
vada Livestock Association received
one of the letters aAd ,a;ei issued a
statement saying the plan was too big
for any state association to attempt
20 put into effect alone and he re-
fe-red the message to the National
Wool Growers Association for action
by that body.
The message signed by the mana
ger of Melady Bros. of Omaha, fol-
lows:
I'VE have a suggestion for the re-
lief of the wool situation and we be-
l'eve that If it is put into effect
throughout the United States it will
help conditions and relieve the wool
growers to great extent. My sug-
gestion is that a nationwide CAM
paign be instituted for the sale of
wool That every citizen take from
one up to as many as they care to at
fifty cents a pound. Issue a certi-
ficate for the amount purchased and
when the wool is disposed of return
tC them whatever amount the wool
brings. We believe in this way it
viii force the market and demand and
IL will bring immediate relief. We

through the press. Something must
be done and the quicker we get into
action the better. We will apprec-
late wire from you regarding this
suggestion and we firmly believe that
If it is put up to the public they will
go back of it as they have in every
proposition of this kind"
Metcalf said there was more than
twenty-five per cent of the latest
Nevada wool crop still in the hands
OF the growers. Amy movement which
will help those growers to market
their wool will be of great benefit to
this state, he added. Although, he
pointed out, it will be difficult for any
combination to secure control of all
the wool now remaining in growers
hands.

OFFICIAL TASTERS
WORKING At CARSON

Official tasting was the order in
the federal marshal's office recently.
says the Reno Gazette. Samples of all
the confiscated liquors that have ac-
cumulated during the past several
months were taken. Some of the
goods were of such new tastes and
odors that even Professor 8. c. Dins-
more, analytical chemist. was for
time stumped as to the classification.
Samples from each bottle, keg, and
jug were secured and will be sub
jected to analysis. This has become
necessary, owing to the fact that in
several of the trials that have taken
place for violation of the federal
prohibition act, the jury could not
tell the real nature of the sample
shown them.
Several cases of "jackass brandy,
high wines and partially fermented
home brews were gone through. None
of the half dozen federal "tasters"
on the job had any difficulty in recog-
nizing the real bourbon whiskey when
sample was opened.
One bottle was shown that is sup
posedly "Old Hermitage" but even
that was a deception. The original
cork seal is present and has not been
disturbed, but the bottom OF the bot
tie has been punctured with electric
needles, the original contents trans
ferred and a low grade whiskey sub
stituted. AS to how high the alcoholic
content runs in this specific case will
have to be determined by analysis.
Following the trials, which will
take place next month, the accumula-
tion will be disposed Of In all, sew
eral hundred gallons of liquors, some
of first class and others of doubtful
nature, will find their way down the
federal sewer pipe. One bottle Of
