Some coal diggers appeared at

row, and return to normal pro-

BUY VIRGIN WOOL IS
 WOOL GROWERS SLOGAN

Buy a suit of virgin wool clothes clothes made of wool directly from the sheep's back"
 This is the new slogan proposed for the farmers and stock raisers of the United States by George M. Wilber, who is prominently mentioned for the position of secretary of agriculture in the Harding cabinet. He made the proposal at the International Live stock Exposition, Union Stock Yards, Chicago. MT. Wilber is lifelong friend of the president-elect and comes from Marysville, Ohio, not far from the Harding town of Marion.
 He is dirt farmer, stock raiser, banker and business man and has won reputation in each department of endeav0r and is widely considered one of the best informed authorities on agriculture in America.
 For months, as one of the governors of the National Sheep and Wool Bu- reau of America, he has been actively engaged in the campaign to organize the country behind the French Capper Truth in Fabric bill. This measure is designed to compel textile manufac- turers to stamp their cloth with its content of virgin (new) wool and of shoddy-old rags reworked in some cases as often as eight times.
 Wool cloth manufacturers complain of business stagnation due to the fail ure of the people to buy clothes," he said, in discussing the wool situation with the farmers and stock raisers. "1t is the sale of shoddy cloth as vir- gin wool cloth and at virgin wool prices under cover of the misunder- stood popular term, all wool that has caused the people to become re- bellious and to quit buying.
 Conditions have reached such grave state that something must be done to save the wool growers from bankruptcy. Conditions in the west are far worse than in this part of the country. In view of the tight condi- tion of the wool market and of the millions of pounds, of virgin wool un- sold and in storage in this country, the only thing to do seems to be to ac- quaint the consuming public with the fact that large part of the apparel sold as all wool, which the public thinks means virgin wool, is shoddy, re-worked rags. To protect itself,

FAULTS OF PRICE
 FIXING EXPLAINED

Getting down to fundamentals, the vital defect in q government price regulation scheme is that it attempts to limit the profits dealer may make, without guaranteeing him against losses. There can be. no sound price regulation that attempts to do one and not the other. Some temporary bene- fits may be realized, but in the long run one-sided price regulation will re- suit in disaster.
 This was demonstrated centuries ago when Roman emperor, possess ed of almost despotic power, decreed a schedule of prices for commodities and services, with extreme penalties for violation. The result was cessa- tion of production and unprecedented scarcity, with consequent higher prices than before. If men were possessed of omnipotent wisdom practical sys- tenn of price fixing might be possible but so long as individuals are limited in both wisdom and goodness, fail ure will attend the attempt to set aside the equalizing effect of the law of supply and demand.
 Recently we have had modern il- lustration of this in the predicament of sugar dealers, who, under the price control system, were limited to an ad- vance of one cent a pound on sugar sold at wholesale. That was appar- ently a sufficient advance to enable the wholesaler to cover expenses and make a reasonable profit. It is cur rently reported and is possibly true that some dealers made an unlawful profit by putting the sugar through
The Coconino sun., 1920-12-17

the public must ask for virgin wool cloth and insist upon getting it.
 "A few years ago, the south asked us to Buy Bale of Cotton Now the wool growers ask for a square deal. Textile manufacturers are resorting largely to the use of old rags in the manufacture of wool cloth and are in creasingly palming off shoddy on the people under cover of the term, all wool while the virgin wool that the people want and pay for and suppose that they are getting when they buy 'all wool clothes is lying unmanu- factured in the storehouses.
 Every farmer and sheep raiser must remember to protect himself when purchasing clothing by demand ing suit made of virgin wool-wool direeAly from the sheep's back. Let the southerners who gave us their cot ton slogan adopt ours: Buy suit of virgin wool clothes"
The Coconino sun., 1920-12-17

one or more fictitious transfers, add ing cent pound each time.
 But it appears that there were large numbers of wholesalers who tried to comply with the law and who made contracts for sugar to meet the fu- ture demands of their regular custom CTS. They bought on an ascending market, and were limited to a profit of one cent per pound. Then came the slump. Wholesalers who had tried to protect their customers found them selves with sugar which would not sell even at the original purchase price On the contrary the sugar found no buyers at decline of many cents per pound. The wholesalers turned to government regulations in vain. In conjunction with the provisions which prevented them from making unreas- enable profits, they could find no pro- vision to guard them against unreas- enable losses. To apply common ex. pression, they were caught between the devil of declining market and the deep sea of government control.
 The predicament of the sugar wholesalers is a subject that probably will not occasion worry to many minds--and yet it ought to receive more than a passing notice, for it em- phasizes economic truths which the American people must not ignore if they hope for perpetuation of gov ernment in which equality of oppor- tunity is a fundamental There are some people who condemn the recent ly enacted railroad bill which attempts to allow the railroads to earn larg- CT but very restricted and guarded in- come. Old prejudices cause them to look with disfavor upon anything that helps the railroads. The fact is that for many years the government has been limiting railroad earnings and

THE PROMPT REPLY

A man who had been in the city only three days, but who had been paying attention to a pretty girl, wanted to propose, but was afraid he might be thought too nasty. He deli cately approached the subject as fol- lows:
 "If l were to speak to you of mar riage, after having made your ac- quaintance three days ago, what would you say to it
 "That you should never put off till tomorrow that which you should have done the day before yesterday"
The Coconino sun., 1920-12-17

profits and if it is to deal fairly and to the best interests of the nation and its industries, must assume the re- sponsibility of affording the roads an opportunity to make a reasonable profit above actual expenses.
 Unless that shall be done, the old experience of the Roman emperor will be repeated in this supposedly en- frightened age. A railroad cannot be operated without profits any more than horse can work without food"

TRUTH AT LAST

"I say, Harry" said miner to his mate, whats cosmopolitan
 Suppose there was a Russian Jew lived in England with an Italian wife, smoking Egyptian cigarettes, near a French window in room with Tur- key carpet on the floor. If this man drank ice cream sodas while listening to German band playing Come Back to Erin," after a supper of Dutch cheese made up as Welsh rab- bit, then you might be quite safe in saying that he was a cosmopolitan.

JEST FORE CHRISTMAS
 By Eugene Field.

Father calls me William, sister calls me Will Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill Mighty glad aint girl -ruther be boy Without the sashes curls an things that's by
 FauntlerOy. Love to shawnk green apples an go swmmin in the lake
 Hate to take the castor-ile they give for beyache Most all the time, the whole year round there aint
 no flies on me- But jest fore Christmas Pm as good as kin be- Got a yeler dog named Sport sick him on the cat; First thing she knows she doesn't know where she
 is at.
 Got clipper sled, an when us kids go out to slide, Long comes the grocery cart an we all hook a ride But sometimes when the grocery man is worried an
 cross,
 He reaches at us with his whip, an arrups up his
 hoss, An then laff an holer, "Oh ye never teched me-" But jest fore Christmas Pm good as kin be- Gran'ma says she hopes that when git to be man; I'll be missonarer like her oldest brother, Dan, As ct up by the cannibus that lives in Ceylon's
 Isle, Where every prOspeck pleases an only man is vile. But gran'ma she has never been to see a wild west
 show, Nor read the life of Daniel Boone, or else guess
 she'd know That Buff'lo Bill an cowboys is good enough for me. Excep' jest fore Christmas, when Pm goodasIkinbe And then old Sport he hangs around, so solemnlike
 an still, His eyes they a-sayin: What's the matter lit
 tie Bill?" The old cat sneaks off her perch an wonders what's
 become Of them two enemies of hem that used to make
 things hum But am so perlite an tend so earnestly to biz, That mother says to father "How improved our
 Willie is." But father havn' been boy hisself, suspicious me When jest fore Christmas, Pm as good as kin be. For Christmas with its lots an lots of candies cakes
 an toys Was made, they say for proper kids an not for
 naughty boys; So wash yer face an bresh yer hair, an mind yer
 p's and as, An don't bust out your pantaoons, and don't wear
 out yer shoes; Say "Yessum" to the ladies' an "Yessur" to the men, An when theys company, don't pass yer plate for
 pie again; But thinkn of the things yerd like to upon that
 tree, Jest fore Christmas, be as good as yer can be.
