Olathe Criterion.
A week or two ago the Denver
Post, which is an organ of the Great
Western Sugar company, stated that
there was plenty of Industrial Sugar
stock in Denver selling at SO per
share. We clipped the item and sent
it to the secretary of the Industrial
company Following is his comment:
"We have been unable to confirm
this report. However. in as much as
we didn't blow up on November 18th
and paid our beet checks, the big su-
gar fellows down here were so cha
grined and non plussed that they
have given vent, in my opinion, to
this sort of expression to do all the
injury that they possibly could.
"You understand that Mr.. Bonfils
of the Denver Post is one of the very
heavy stockholders of the Great West
ern Sugar Company.
"They are playing their own game
and if our stockholders fall for It
they will have accomplished what
they started out to do. In very few
days circular letter will reach your
community which will give you more
minute details of the affair"

ORGANIZED WOOL GROWERS
LIKELY TO GET RESULTS

Chicago, Nov 3OlThe National
Sheep and Wool Bureau of America,
No. %. East Jackson Boulevard. an
nounced today that it would lend it's
support to the plan of Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, to secure a years
embargo on the Importation of wool.
This announcement was made by
President Alexander Walker upon his
arrival from New York City to take
part in several wool conferences that
are to be held in connection with the
International Live Stock Exposition
at tie Union Stock Yards.
The National Sheep and Wool Bu-
reau of America last January secured
the introduction of the French-Cap-
per Trust in Fabric bill, which is de-
signed to compel textile manufactur-
ers to stamp their cloth with its con-
tent of virgin (new) wool and of shod-
dy-old rags reworked in some cases
as often as eight times.
President Walker said that one
hundred and ten organizations of all
descriptions, some of them of nation
wide influence, have now endorsed the
Truth in Fabric measure and that five
or six new resolutions are arriving at
the headquarters of the Bureau Daily.
Among the strongest supporters OF
the measure is the American Bureau
Federation. of which j. R. Howard is
of the Bureau. Mr.. Walker said:
''The National Sheep and Wool Bu-i
reau of America is greatly in favor
of Senator Smoot's embargo proposal
and will give it and also the proposal
for tariff high enough to adequately
protect the wool growers of the
United States the same whole-hearted
and vigorous support that it is giving
the French-Capper Truth in Fabric
bill.
"It must be clearly understood,
however, that ither an embargo nor
a high protective tariff would of it.
self be able to protect the sheep
grower from his greatest foe-the
junkman. Even with the embargo
and the tariff in effect, the wool
grower would still need the protec-
tion of the French-Capper Truth in
Fabric bill to shield him from the un-
fair competition of the rag-picker.
because shoddy-the product of re-
worked woolen rags would still be
sold as virgin (new) Wool under COW
er of the misunderstood popular term,
all wool. The wool grower will be
at the mercy of the shoddy interests
until there is passed law making it
compulsory for the textile manufac-
turers to label their cloth with its
content of virgin wool and of shoddy.
with the farmers still burdened
with their wool clip of last spring,
with the storehouses of the world
choked with four billion pounds of
unused virgin wool. with the popular
demand for virgin wool cloth arti-
fically diverted by certain textile
manufacturers from the wool grower
to the g-picker. it is absolutely es-
sential for the protection of the wool
growers that the French-Capperl
Truth in Fabric bill be enacted as
soon as Congress re-convenes."
Last March, the Interstate and For
e'gn Commerce Committee of the
House of Representatives held hear
ing on the bill, but adjournment was
taken before the measure was report
ed out of committee. This December,
hearing on the measure will be held
before the Senate Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce.

the belief of l.. e. Emanuel, com
mander of the Chickasha post Of the

mostly those who left the plow and
wagon to shoulder arms against the
German kaiser. DR.. Emanuel be-
lievos. "'rhey don't seem to want to
go back to the farm after they've
seen gay Paris and Broadway the
local legion post commander says
Locpl employers are giving ex-scr-
vice men preference to positions and,
as result, practically no former
fighters are out of employment, ac-
cording to DR.. Emanuel.
Out of the estimated 900 Grady
county boys who have returned from
service in the United States army,
few have expressed discomfort, Mrs.
Blanche Freeman, Red Cross welfare

true with the man who served long
