SKINNED
ALL AROUND

According to estimates recently
made public by the Secretary Of the
Wool Growers association in Cava-
lier county. North Dakota, there is
a total Of 100000 pounds OF wool
In this district, but repeated at
tempts to find market for it have
failed. IN sections Of the same
county cattle are selling for AZ
cents per pound on the hoof.
So much for the difficulties the
farmer experiences when he goes to
sell his product. Now just ponder
for minute what the ultimate con-
sumer pays for the stuff when he or
she buys it.. In Fargo at the pres
ent time an all-wool suit for an
adult male costs at least $500 and
the standard price for round steak
is 40 cents a pound
Think of it, 100000 pounds of
wool stored away up in Cavalier
county because nobody will buy it
and the Dear Public are paying
$500 for woolen suits. and includ-
ed in this Dear Public is the wool
grower himself.
Is it any wonder North Dakota
farmers have been mad as blazes
for several years? Under such in
tolerable conditions. can you blame
them for seeing red? Wool grow
ers and farmers of all types are now
in the same dilemma as the man
who stood between the devil and
the deep. blue sea!

SECTION
OF G|LBY BURNS

Gilby, N. D.,-Fire thought to
have been started by old waste in
an empty building formerly used
as store. destroyed practically the
entire business section of Gilby, ear
ly this mornino
The fire was discovered about
1880 O'Clock. The town is equip
ped with virtually no fire fighting
apparatus and an alarm was sent to
the fire department at Grand Forks.
Chief Fitzgerld decided that it
would be useless to make the trip
as it would have taken more than
an hour. and the town had practi-
cally no water for use when the ap-
paratus would have arrived.
With the inadequate, means to
fight the blaze, the flames quickly
spread to the adjoining buildings.
The entire, block in which the fire
started was burnnd;. toithe ground.
1t was probably only on account Of
the absence of any wind that the.
fire was stopped from burning more
property.
