The National Retail Clothing Dealers
Association 10 session last week snnounc'
ed that an advance in prices of mems
clothes this spring was inevitable and
gave as the reason that wool had sd-
vanced so much. Then the president of
the National Wool Growers Association
announced that the five pounds of wool
needed to make an average suit Of
clothes was cold by the grower for about
So so, or so per pound. and the cleaner
charged about an equal amount for clean
ing the wool and the factory making to
cloth paid around $5.87 for the cleaned
wool for a suit. The balance of the $50
or $50 paid for a suit goes to the factory
making the suit and the retailer.
The grower gets 80, so for the wool and
the wearer pays $50 to 80 for the suit.

We were impressed recently by letter
to a good citizen and business man oil
Somerville from his brother wnois eeu
tist in one of the big oil fields of 0klahc

on the subject of oil stock, but summed
up the dentist advises his brother the
chances for a man in Tennessee to gel
sny profit out of an oil investment il
the western field are about as one Out
of thousand. To put it clearly, &C.
cording to this man on the ground,
there are thousands of oil com
panies organized with no intention of
ever even sinking a we'll for oil, their
sole purpose being to swindle non-res-
ident buyers of their stock. This tai
lies with the writer's opinion of IN
vestments away from his home aud his
eye. We want none of either. You
ha ie heard of many investments by
Somerville men which took their money
to Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, to
Chattanooga, and other points, but how
many Of these Investments have you
ever heard Of making any Somerville
man any money? There is ample room
in Fsyette county for investment, the
men who are making most money in
the county today are making by invest.

Samuel Gompers. President of the
American Federation of Labor, offers
the strongest argument we have seen
in favor of the passage of the Sedition
bills now pending in congress. He
gives his reasons why these bills should
not be adopted. but to an unbiased mind
his reasons appear as very strong reason
why the bill should not be passed The
very things he complains of are the
things the truly freedom loving Ameri-
can wants to see stopped

With eggs and poultry atprices of the
present winter the number of hens
should be doubled and trebled on every
Fayette county farm. Until the past
year or two there was a mighty poor
market here for these products. When
other markets were paying ten or twelve
cents per pound for hens, which meant
80 TOGO esch. Somerville was clinging
to the .25 cents per hen custom and there
was no inducement to raise them. But
this policy has changed and buye here
have paid rs high as 80 per pound for
live hens the past few weeks and are
now paying 20 per pound. Eggs have
sold as high as 80 per dozen here and
are about so or so now. These prices
make eggs and hens profitable crop on
every farm and the output of the farms
of them could be doubled at little cost.
This section has Jagged in poultry far
behind nearby counties and has lost
immensely in income from that source.
Many sections Of the state are ship
ping car load after car load of chickens
and turkeys and receiving thousands Of
dollars for them. and shipping eggs in
large shipments every week with good
profit. It is a side line that works in
well with any farming program and
helps 20 increase the cash income Of THE
farm. While hogs and cattle have
slumped in price the past fall and winter.
prices of poultry and eggs have been
higher than was ever known before and
the supply has not been equal to the
demand then.

Doesn't Want Saddle Now

C. D. Lowry. a trapper, says
he has learned something of the
Importance attached to Indian
superstitions. He hired a sad
die from a Navajo. Later he
tied to the saddle the carcass of
a coyote that had been caught
in one of his traps. When he
returned, the Indian owner re-
fused to take back the saddle or
to touch the saddle or the horse,
declaring both to have been con-
taminated beyond remedy by
contact with the dead animal. -

eco West, Young Man"
to Be Seen Here Jan. 22

In Go West, Young Man"
Tom Moore, the erstwhile i'm
maculately garbed hero of Just
for Tonight, The Kingdom
of Youth" and countless other
Goldwyn pictures. finds himself
the tenderfoot sheriff of a rough
western town. He does not
seek the honor-it is thrust upon
him. Fresh from his eastern
home, which he has left because
of a singing rebuke from his
father, Tom Moore as Dick Lath-
am meets with many amusing
and dramatic adventures begin
ming from the moment when
Godson, a leading light of the
town who masks his leadership
of a band of outlaws under a
righteous exterior. forces Dick
to wear the sheriff's silver star.
He does this for an object
which Dick discovers later. The
easterner, despite his ignorance
of western ways, not only wins
the regard of the townspeople,
but succeeds in reforming the
place and winning the girl of
his heart. Unquestionably Tom
Moore has one Of the best roles
of his career in go West, Young
Man, and certainly it is a de-
parture for the young star to
disport himself in chaps, SOM
brero and holster. How well he
acquits himself as this decidedly
different character will be seen
