Wilson, of the James & E. II. Wilson
Company, cloth manufacturers, is

Wilson, of the James e. E. II. Wilson
Company, cloth manufacturers, is
"cumbersome of administration, unnec
cssary," and arises from the selfish in
tcrests Of the sheep growers. He point
ed out the fact that the War Depart
rlent sanctioned the use of IS per cent
of shoddy in army overcoats during the
war, and that Secretary of War Baker
now heads the Consumers League,
which is backing the pure fabric legis-
lation. "Shoddy is not injurious to
health" he said, land does not fall into
the same class as foods or drugs, where
legislation is needed to protect the pub
lie well-being. Furthermore, the legis-
lation is directed at the woven woolen
industry exclusively, and leaves out the
silk goods, cotton goods and even the
wooden knitting trades"
The plan for labelling goods and gar
ments made from them with their con-
tents, according to Mr.. Wilson, is not
only cumbersome, but invites sharp
practice by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers.
Ludwig Stein, president of the clothiers'
association, assured Mr.. Wilson that a
committee was ready to cooperate with
the woolen men to oppose such legisla-
ton.
Fred Voilland, clothing retailer of
Topeka, Kan, drove home the neces-
sity of national advertising campaign
to show the public the exact situation
n the clothing industry. "We have to
go to the people" he said, "to explain
away their distrust. Publish charts in
the daily papers showing the exact per.
centage Of profit and the exact costs o'
every operation and bit of material 60
ing into suit of clothes" Mr.. Voil-
land also urged the clothing men tC
take a greater interest in politics and
government. He intimated that the
National Retail Clothiers' Association
which he represents, was planning col
lective political action.
Officers elected by the association fol
the ensuing year are as follows: El
Strouse. Baltimore, president; Max L
Holtz, Rochester; Max H Friedman
New York: David Kirschbaum, Phila
delphia; Sidney e. Schuman, Boston
and Ludwig Stein. Chicago, vice-p -presi.
dents Max L. Vile, New York, treas

Thlrty.Seventh Anniversary.


Last Wednesday was the thirty
seventh anniversary of the marriage
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. N. Coffey, and the
event was duly celebrated. The feast

to Mr.. Coffey in the forenoon that the
day was his marriage anniversary.
In leaving the square for home he
carried out a basket of oranges and
apples, and handed it to Mrs. Coffey,
who asked the contents. "That is our
anniversary" said Newt. So the or
anges were prepared and placed on the
table with many other delicious viandS.
After Mr.. and Mrs. Coffey, their

taken, Mrs. Coffey said: "Now. child
rem, eat all the oranges you can, for it
will be thirty. seven more years before

REV. S. G. SHELLEY.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES cAHPBELLmLLs

The intelligence of the death Of Rev.
S. G. Shelley, which occurred at his
home in Campbellsville, last Sunday
morning, between midnight and day,
cast gloom over this entire commu-
nifty. For four years before being as
signed to Campbellsville, he was the
Presiding Elder of the Columbia Dis
trict, and during that time he resided
in Columbia, and often preached to
the congregation at this place.
He was a very lovable man, full of
the spirit of God, and was constant
worker for his Master. he was a
strong man intellectually, kind and
gentle IN manners, drawing all men
into his confidence, having only the
love Of God for his guidance. His
- death brought sorrow to every home
in this town and throughout the Co.
Iumbis district, being clasSed as
man Of God. His passing is not only
a serious blow to the Church he loved,
but it is a distinctive loss to society,
as he stood for right living and taught
it from the pulpit
The deceased had been a popular
minister in this community for many
years, having been the Presiding Ed
er at two different times, with a few
years between the charges.
He was a man who was never known
to be idle. 1t mattered not where
you saw him, on the streets or upon
the public highway, he was busy in
the cause of his Maker.
The deceased was born and reared
in Clinton county, and was licensed
to preach when quite young man,
and was about sixty.two years old,
and during his career as a minister he
filed many important charges in the
Louisville Conference He had served
a Church at Louisville, Hopkinsville
and Glasgow, and a number other
Churches of the larger towns o. Ken
lucky.
At the time of his death he was a
member of the Board of Education Of
the Louisville Conference, and he
took great interest in the Lindsey
Wilson school, this place.
His death has cast gloom over the
Louisville Conference and all the
Churches of Southern Methodism
throughout the State.
There were funeral services at
Campbellsville, there being many
beautiful floral offerings. The dis
course was preached by Rev. 7. J..
wade, or this place, who succeeded
Bro. Shelley as Presiding Elder. He
paid high tribute to the life and char
acter of the deceased. ,.-.
The remains were then shipped to
Bewleyville, Breckenridge, county, for
intermsnt. BewleyVille was the home
Of Mrs Shelley before her marriage.
Mrs. Shelley has been a faithful COM
panion of her now sainted husband,
and great sympathy is felt for her.
She is a consecrated lady, and knows
how to reach her God in this great
sorrow.
The hour for the funeral is 2 O'Clock
this, Tuesday afternoon. During les
progress there were no exercises at
the Lindsey Wilson. The school sent
beautiful floral design.
