JOHNNY BULL IS
 TAKING HIS CENSUS

London, April 23.-John Bull will number his household tomorrow and Sunday evening will find Father John Citizen filling up census forms emu mertaing and describing those who spend the night of April 24-25 under his roof.
 Eleven million census schedules have been distributed by 38,OOO of- hclal enumerators, and they provide for households ranging in size from ten to seventy. A dozen questions have to be answered in respect to each person. The classifying and tab ulating of the returns will take a special staff of 500 not less than two years.
 The army, navy and air forces will be numbered separately, unit com manders acting as enumerators.
 At the last census, 1911, the popu- lation of Great Britain was 45,37O,- 530, divided as follows: England and Wales, 36,070,492; Scotland, 4,76O,- 905 Ireland, 439O,219, and smaller is lands, 148,915. The value of the Irish census this time is problematical, as Sim Fein has ordered that it be boy cotted.

months. This tariff has not yet been
reflected in the market because OF the
fact that there is a surplus supply OF
wool in the east When this surplus
has been used, the tariff will operate
as benefit to the wool growers. Ihe
United States competes mainly with
Australia and New Zealand, South
America and South Africa. in the busi.
ness of supplying the world with wool
and with an almost prohibitive duty on
incoming wool, there is hope for a
better market for the home grown
product. United States affords the
only present market to these foreign
countries and the growers would be
compelled to drop prices to low level
in order to sell in this country.
Hopes for Improvement.
II look for considerable improve
ment from the buyers viewpoint this
season. With conditions coming back
to normal. it is safe point to make
that growers will sell their product
outright instead of selling on consign-
ment. During the past three years,
the wool has been sold on consign-
ment, because sheep men preferred to
hold back believing that the market
would take d turn for the better.
Prices have reached the level of sta
bility and this means less delay IN
placing the wool on the market. 1t
is not possible for person to state
what price will be offered for wool
this year. especially when the shear
ing season has not opened and one is
not advised as to the grades Of the
wool.
Information I have gathered from
sheepmen points to the opening OF the
shearing season in Montana. about
June 90 1t is then that we BUYERS
settle down to work. Although 1t is
anticipated that the clip will be smaller
this year, many houses expected to be
represented by buyers.
Fewer Buyers Coming.
I'm normal times, Montana is flood
ed with purchasers. but this season
will see less in the field. | am con-
vinced that this year will be one of
advantage to both growers and buyers.
Sales will be made with less attending
delays, the product will be on the
market within a month from the time
of disposal, and such conditions cannot
help but mean better era for the
wool industry"

FIRST WHITE
WOMAN ALONG
TETON VALLEY
Death Of Mrs. Nat Collins,
Montana's 'Cattle Queen
Attracts Wide Attention.

The death recently at Choteau of
Mrs. Nat Collins, long known as the
cattle queen of Montana" has at
tracted wide attention as Mrs. Collins
was not only one of the best known
and most popular Of the Treasure
states old timers, but her death re-
moves from the sphere OF daily acti-
vity one of the leading representa-
tives of the class of men and women
who have made the west what it is.
Mrs. Collins was the first white
woman to settle in the Teton valley.
and her daughter, Mrs. Franak Sal
mond, was the first white child born
in the town of Choteau. Besides Mrs.
Salmond, Mrs. H. L. Halliday, a neice,
and Fred Perry, nephew. are the
only relatives of Mrs. Collins residing
in Choteau
Mrs. Collins was born in Rockford
ILL.,, in 1874 and practically the whole
Of her life was spent ON the frontier.
In 1854 she moved with her parents
into Iowa. Shortly afterwards the
family went to Colorado, the father
being among the first of those hardy

but small settlement of a few cabins.
The trip from the Missouri river to
Denver required six weeks.

Later Mr.. Smith. Mrs. Collins

in the southwest and was accompanied
by his daughter. The reports Of rich
gold fields which had attracted them
proving groundless, they returned to
Denver where her father and later
her mother died. She afterwards
made her home with her brothers. In
all she made twelve wagon trips be-
tween the Missouri river and the Rocky
mountains, the last of them being into
Montana by way Of Bozeman cut off.
She spent some time at Virginia City.

of Teton county, 20 miles west of

After being actively engaged in the

WOOL SITUATION

BUYER ASSERTS
L. G. Holen Arrives to Begin
Twenty-First Season Buy
ing in Montana.

Belief that the wool situation is
gradually becoming better and is near
ing the stability of the times before
the war was expressed Sunday by u.
G. Holen, representative Of Dewey.
Gould & Co, Boston wool firm. Mr..
Holen is in Great Falls in preparation

he said, "the New England wooden
mills we're operating at partial capac
ity, an indication that business is on
the upward trend from the manufac-
turing standpoint 1t cannot be said
that the market is very active, for the
mills are accepting wool only as they
need it. It is the prevailing opinion
among the wool firms that the worst
stage has passed and everyone is feel
ing good to think that wool is once
more being used and in demand.
Expect Small Clipi.
wool buyers are not expecting as
large 4 clip in Montana this year as
last, because Of the fact that many
growers were compelled to market the
lamb crop. It is not possible for any
person to judge how much less this
years production will be, but it is my
personal opinion that the crop will be
a triifle smaller than that Of 1920.
Northern Montana last year placed
100000 pounds on the market and
the entire state supplied 100000
pounds. It is possible that this years
output of wool will equal last years
production. for conversation with wool
growers has developed the fact that
some flocks have been increased rather
than cut down.
'"The recent rains have accomplished
much toward bettering the wool mar
ket. Abundant grass and plenty of
moisture has much to do with the
making of good wool.
Tariff Bin Helps.
Favorable climatic conditions also
have good effect on the growers, as
it strengthens the determination not
to dispose of the lamb crop A de-
crease in the size Of the flocks is rot
likely when favorable seasons prevail.
Wool growers of this country have
been given helpful legislation by the
passing Of the emergency tariff bill.
