oyERALLs AND s15. SHIRTS

The overall craze is passing. IL was but fad at hsst and could not have been expected to last long. As a pub lie protest against the prevailing high cost of wearing apparel it served a useful purpose. but t was econon1ical- Iy unsound. The attitude of some of those who advocated it has not been consistent when the wearers of over aIIs sported s15.00 silk shirts and dia- n1ond studs, the sartorial protest fell flat Further than this the results have proven that instead of reducing the cost of clothing, the unusual de- mand for the blue denim has increas- ed the price of that fabric and the working man who must wear the over alls in his regular employment has been forced to pay more for them The craze had a short life in Arkansas. Overall clubswer organized in many places and for a few days 1t was a public fad, but gradually the men sneaked back into their old time, con- yentional apparel and the wearer of overalls became an exception. Like wise, the advocates of 'tpatch 'em and wear lem" clubs found little favor in Arkansas where tine people are insist ing they are ntitld to war as good clothes as anybody and that the prices of necessities of food and apparel must be brought down by legitimate and common sense methods.

WOOL GROWERS URGE PROTECTIVE
TARIFF

INTER- asserting what everybody knows to be true,
s. that the American farmer is the most certain and
dependable guardian of American institutions Frank l.
liagenbarth, president of the National Wool Growers
association enumerated in his annual address some of the
sacrifices the farmers made during the war. Said he the
farmers are asked to produce and sell cheaper in
order that capital and labor may buy raw materials and
food at lower figure AT the same time capital is de-
handing higher and higher returns and labor is demanding
shorter and less efficient hours-hisherpay and less
production. We are not ashamed of the record Of the
tanners during the last few years. During the war the
farmer sold So wheat for $225. 20 cent hogs for IS
cents and 20 cent wool for 50 cents" Insisting upon
protective tariff to protect the American wool grower
nom ruinous competition from Australia. South Africa
and Argentine he declared that any policy which allows
South America and Australia to dictate the price the
Amencan farmer shall receive for his meat animals is
wrong. Let il be America for Americans first
generally assumed and possibly true. that there
present shortage of wool supply the world over but
as shown by Mr. Haganbarh. the American wool grow
er costs have been mounting because of the scarcity of
