FIGURES SHOW THAT

Lafayette, Ind, May 3.-irhe Indiana
farmer receives s5.S5 for the wool in
an average suit Of clothes large
enough for man weighing 17j
pounds, according to Claude Harper,
pardue University sheep specialist.
Mr.. Harper has issued statement
declaring farmers are not profiteering
in the sale OF clothing.
"A man who weighs IT'S pounds re-
Quires IL yards of cloth to make
suit, the weight of the clothing be
ing from 10 TO Is ounces pcr yard, !"
MIR. TIa-per's statement says. THE
average medium weight wool suit is
made OF goods weighing II ounces
per yard At Z l.2 yards per suit,
the cloth In the entire suit weighs
40 ounces, or little more than
three pounds. In tho manufacture
of all wool cloth it requires 80
pounds Of secured wool TO produce
u pound of cloth.
Therefore, considering waste in
manufacturing, it requires about 62
ounces OF secured wool for an average
suit of clothes. Most Of the Indiana
secured wool Is selling in Boston from
s1.25 to $1.44 per pound This wool
scours around so per cent Of grease
and dirt. At S1.44 per secured pound,
this makes wool worth nine cents
per ounce. AS 81 ounces are required
for the entire suit, then the cost
of wool in the suit is $3.50"
Mr.. Harper says that if a suit is
made of the very best grade Of wool,
which is selling at about $3.50 per
secured pound, then the wool in the
suit will cost $737. The cost OF
shipping. commission. etc, he declar'
cd, is at least five cents per pound
which is deducted from the produc
ers' receipts. These suits, he point
ed out, sell at retail all the way from
$75 to s11O and higher.
"These figures show the farmer
certainly is not prcfiteering," said

LADIES OF ARDMORE'S
LIBRARY BOARD WILL
TAKE DRASTIC ACTION

That there will be something doing
relative TO the library tangle in which
the board finds that the library fund
has been transferred, it is said with
out the boards knowledge or consent.
Is foregone conclusion, and that IL
VIII likely take place at once is more
than probable.
When the ladies' of the library board
found that they had approximately
$4,000 worth of new books i'm transit
without dollar with which to pay,
they Immediately began activities.
The board appeared before the city
commissioners Friday night, but in
the absence of the mayor nothing
was done. They were advised by
acting Mayor Fralcy and the commits
sioners present, to wait upon the
mayor as soon as possible and take
the matter up with him. This was
agreed to, but the ladies' decided to
take immediate steps and take the
matter up with the mayor later.
They have employed an attorney
and the whole matter will be brought
into the courts unless the maor
and board Of commissioners make
some provision to provide them with
the necessary funds, with which to
pay for the books upon arrival.
The matter has been taken up with
County Attorney Brown and County
Judge Winfrey, as members Of the
excise board, and they have assured
the ladies' that they will stand with
them in every particular, and endeav-
or TO have the city administration re-
store the library fund to the board.
This may put the city administra-
tion in an embarrassing position as
City Attorney Mason says the money
has been spent, and It may be doubt
ful if the city has another fund upon
which it can draw to pay the bills
for the books as they fall due. This
feature, however, is not bothering
the library board. What the board
demands is the money belonging to
the library fund and it has taken
steps TO see that 1T gets ito
The controversy has developed an
other feature The members of the
library board insist they were not
notified of the transfer Of the fund
until some time in April, or after
the fund had actually been trans.
ferred in January 9Th.
Mrs. Sayer, president of the Ii.
brary board. states that she talk
ed with the mayor relative to the
books a few days before the order
was sent in, and was assured by
him that the money would be in the
fund to pay for these books.
Mrs. Jones, librarian, also a mem
Der Of the library board, Is in Okla
noma City on matters relative to the
library, but is expected TO return to-
day.
A meeting Of the board will be held
tomorrow and it is intimated that
some pretty warm resolutions are in
incubation.
City Attorney Mason, when inform
cd that the board had employed an
attorney, stated that he was going
10 delve into the city affairs and
see if there was not some fund from
which the money could be made
available TO pay the bills as they ar.
rived.
J The transfer was made before Mr..
Mason was appointed city attorney.
lrut he stated that the mayor and
commissioners had perfect legal
right 10 take such action.
