NEW MEXICO WOOL GROWERS INTERESTED

Many years ago the country grew tired of being
fooled by oeomargarine masking as butter and the
dairyrnen of America went after congress with big
club to compel the packing houses and grocers to
have the goods properly branded oeomargarine
An improved and useful commodity has resulted.
There is another imposition that hits everybody
who wears wooden fabrics The wool growers are
the trail of manufacturers who supplying in
ferior fabrics that deceive the people and which
res claim that their market is being limited because
of the palming off upon the public of shoddy goods
made from old wooden rags in such manner to
deceive even merchants. The fabric has inferior
wearing qualities. The wool producers have asked
congress to enact law to compel the goods made
to be labeled properly. Truth in fabrics" is the
slogan of the movement. ~.
If claims justified that enactment of the bill
now before congress would result in opening the
doors Of storehouses containing hundreds of millions
of pounds of virgin wool. the average man may
rghHully regard the measure powerful weapon
in the battle for lower living costs ss@ /
The national sheep and wool bureau asserts that
a vast amount Of virgin wool has been withheld
from the market while Atwood clothing has been
manufactured of shoddy from wool rags.
The Capper-French bill would require manufac-
turers to stamp their cloth with the percentage of
cotton shoddy used One effect would be, ii is
urged, to bring virgin wool into the market in such
quantities to make possible notable reduction
in price of shoddy.
Strong opposition has been aroused in certain
quarters and the proposed law is alleged by some
clothing to be defective in several respects
With the principle involved however there must be
general agreement The consumer has right to
know what he is getting
Few consumers and few retail dealers are expert
enough to distinguish cloth or garments made from

JUST FOLKS
PLAYTINiE,.
Copyright, 1920, by Edgar A. Guest.

The only real time for fun
Is when you know your work is done.
who leaves neglected tasks behind
Takes with him an uneasy mind;
But he can sing along his way
Who earns the right to rest and play.
The sweetest hours of joys are those
Which every weary toiler knows
The holidays which now and then
Shine through the lives of busy men
When, free from care and dutys grind,
They leave the daily tasks behind.
There is no real Joy in play
For him who knows that he should stay
And keep his post, however sweet
The pleasure he has gone to meet,
Because forever on his mind
There lies the task he left behind.
He only knows the thrill of fun
Who plays not till his work is done.
Then he may wander fancy-free
And claim the JOY, whate'er it be.
Knowing the laughter and delight
Which come to him are his by right.
God grant that when come to rest,
With life's sun sinking in the west,
And the last bugle call is blown
BY duty's herald, may own
The right to turn from toll and rest, =
Knowing that have done my best. y,

TO the state tax commission the
summary is here reproduced with

ted, and that readers NAV know
just what action was taken, and
what benefit to the state resulted
from taxing mines during the year
when they were not yielding nor
mai product upon the average basis
of the better years. -e.
The record of the state tax com
mission show that thirty-six metal
mining companies were in opera
tion during the year 1919, and that
the gross production of all COM
panies was S10,744.229.50. The
gross expenditures, s10,71O.9O9.SS.
The net profits of all these COM
panies, as shown by their books,
was S33,31962.
The tax commission, after exam
ming all reports, disallowed as. ope-
rating costs certain expenditures in
the sum of $3.50, 363.39. and de-
termined that the net output of all
these companies, under the con-
struction of the mine tax law, was
81, $50, 6S3.01.
The legislature in 1919 passed an
act providing for an assessment
based on an average of three years
production on all those companies
whose output exceeded $4,000. BY
reason of the passage of this act,
there was added to the assessment
for 1919 the sum of $1O,S50, 99499,
and the final assessed value of the
output LOT all metal mines was
fixed in the sum of $12,734,67S
There are seventeen coal mine
companies who reported nroduc.

show a gross production of $l0,-

the sum of $9,672,S51.4S; net
$1,21S,S35.84.
After examining all reports, The
commission disallowed as operating
cost the sum of $1,G1796T3I, and
determined the net for 1919 in the
sum of $2,S36,SO3.15. Tnen by
