OF all states in the Union, It III be-
comes Idaho TO join In the fad
This is distinctly wool-growing state
Millions Of dollars are expended an
nuslly among the farmers and every
business community for supplies. The
wool growers themselves, differing
from the owners Of other industries,
live In the state and the revenue from
their operations is spent here; II does
not 10 10 enrich eastern states. To
institute boycott on wool--which Is
what the Overall crusade" practically
amounts to. is like killing the hen that
lays the golden egg. To say the least,
the fad is great injustice to an in
dustry that has had no part in in
creasing clothing costs. Whatever
other Idaho communities may do, It
!. hoped that Emmett and Gem coun-
ty will refuse TO lend its aid to any
such unpatriotic and foolish move
ment.

T.. l.. Cant, who has just returned

they will not be so low as they were
before the war.

war prices again" he said. Paris

court of fashion authority" Mr.. Cant
continued. American manufacturers
of ready wear garments are today
taking place along with the leaders of
the world and several of our highest
authorities have assurance that their

the art of coloring and dying. Mr..
Cant said: THE good qualities are
better than they have ever been be-

the newer fabrics far excel any that
have preceded them. But great care
must be exercised when purchasing
materials these days to see that they
are all they are purported to be.
