Dear Mr.. Hardy:


There seems to be a general i'm
nression conveyed through the dem
ao,otic nress that the republican par
ty has not generally been in ahgn-
ment on the question of woman SUI
frage and that President Wilson Is
the only great exponent of the right
of women to vote. The record Is
very clear on this matter; OF the 80
states necessary to ratify national
.uffraee 7 of the states so doing had
democratic legislatures OF the
states had divided maiorities be-
tween their upper and lower houses
and 90 of the ratifying states had
republican legislatures.
Very truly yours.
f. ]. Anderson.

ARRANGE FOR o o
OF WOOL CLIP HERE
LATE THIS MONTH

d. b Morris, county agent, is send
ing to the woolgroWers of the county
a communication explaining the ar
rangements for pooling the wool clip
OF this season through the Grand
Forks county Woolgrowers' associa-
ton.
The clip is to be assembled in
Grand Forks and will be pooled
through the association. The ware
house has been arranged for and all
wool should be brought to the city
between June 2S and July 3, Mr.. Nor
ris has pointed out.
The wool may be shipped to MI.
Norris by local freight, or if brought
in. may be taken to the farm bureau
will give directions about the weigh
ing and storage.
The amount of wool pooled last
year by the association was 1925
pounds. 1t was sold at So cents per
pound. and the net gain to farmers
through the pool vas 10 cents per
pound on the total number OF pounds
sold. Mr.. Morris has pointed out.
Farmers received total payment
within three days after the sale of
wool, according to the county agent.
Two professional sheep shearers are
at work among the larger flocks in
the county at the present time. and
the W~oolgrowers' association is en-
deavoring 10 get a third shearer to
assist in the work.
According to Mr.. Morris, wool buy
ers are talking low prices for wool
at the present time, but from the ten
or of articles appearing in papers,
and various publications written by
authorities on the subject, he believes
that prices for wool should be fairly
good a little later on.
