Cost Of Wool In clothinn.

Dr.. S. ". Mcclure, secretary Ma
tional Wool Growers association: To
manufacture a suit of mans clothing,
suitable for the average sized indi-
vidual and made OF medium winter
weight goods. requires about sixty
two ounces Of wool Thus, at the
present price, the wool in an ayera gs
mans salt can be bought for s5.25,
and this on The presumption that the
suit is made of all wool. Such suits
as this retail today at from $50 to
s75. If one were to use the very
finest wool grown n the manufac-
ture OF this suit. not more than 81
worth Of wool could be used.
The price Of wool has not been re-
sponsible for the advance IN the
price OF clothing. and even at pres
ent wool values the wool required to
manufacture suit represents less
than 10 per cent. Of the price at
which such suit fs retailed.
There may be some reason for adj
Tancing the price of clothing, but 1t
cannot be blamed onto the price OF
wool

oaRRANzA ADDS ANOTHER INSULT.

1arranza has Withdrawn his ambassador
from the United States. Some weeks ago, Sen
ator Fall of the committee on foreign relations,
offered q resolution in the senate providing Tor
tie withdrawal of our recognition OF the Car
rama government and the severing Of all dlpio-
matte relations until such time as Mexico re
covered her sanity Senator Fall at that tiine
made the charge, which has never been sue
cessfully contradicted, that several of the DIP.
lomatic officials from Mexico 10 the United
States were at the instigation OF Carranza,
helping to finance and aid the bolshevlk propa-
ganda In this country a breach OF international
courtesy beyond pardon. Fall made these
charges after a conference with Secretary OF
State Lansing, who had sent an urgent despatch
to Fall 10 come TO Washington because OF what
Lansing believed to be another crisis IN our re-
Ilations with the Carranza government LIZ ae-
sveloped at that time that Lansing was permit
ted little. If any, access to President wilson.
The Fall resolution was caustically reprobated
by President Wilson, VINO demanded Tree
hand in drafting letters to Carranza- And thus
the matter was left I'm allegiance with the state
men by Fall that TO Wilson belongs the full re
sponsibilitv for the whole disgTaceful proceed
ing in orr relations with the Mexican govern
n.ent. The recall OF Senior Bonillas, the Mezl-
can ambassador, is one of but many insults
added to innumerable injuries heaped on
AMERICA and Americans. There would seem to
be left to Carranza hut one more af1ront to the
ii nited States-to declare war upon us.

takIisbed law at defiance But these teachers

drastic changes. on the failure OF orderly pro-

Mood Need No. Resign.

Sioux City Journal: The announce
ment by General Leonard Wood that
he would not resign his position In
the army because he is candidate
for the presidency cannot be crit'-
cised. General Grant did not resign
his army position until after his cleo
ton as president, and If memory is
not in error. until only few days
before he was inaugurated. OF course,
no army officer could logically hold
his office and be president al the
same time. As president he is com.
nander in chief OF the army and
navy. He is the supreme civil head
! of the military and naval forces. he
could not hold that position and al
the same time hold another subordin,
ate to IT.
General Zachary Taylor remained
in the army until the day OF his cleo
ton. He was in active command OF

tinued to fulfil the duties OF that post

REMARKABLE INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY

Statistics show that during the year 1919, ia
tie principal states Of the union, charters were
obtained for corporations with an authorized
Capitalization Of more than twelve and one-hslf
billion dollars, an increase Of four hundred and
fourteen per cent. over the corresponding figure
for 1918, and well over three times the figure
for 1901. the year Of the incorporation Of the
United States Steel corporation. The figures
are of authorized capitalization only, not capital
issues, and they include reorganizations which
NAV involve little or no actual investment Of
new capital. The figures constitute an index
of remarkable domestic industrial activity and
suggest at least one important reason why loans
to Europe have not been forthcoming in the
volume that had been hoped for; especially
when it is considered that the great volume Of
industrial financing involved here is in addition
to heavy borrowings by the federal government
and by other governmental units
