1920 WOOL CHECKS
TOTAL $l25,OOO TO
DATE-STILL GOING OUT

Wool growers having wool in the
1920 pool had up to October % re-
ceived checks in final settlement of
that pool totaling $125,000 and
checks were continuing to go out on
that date at the rate of several hun
dred a day, said the farm bureau
wool department.
A slash into the remaining half of
the 1921 pool was taken during the
week of October "a when 100000
pounds of short wool were sold to a
Michigan mill at what was consider
ed very satisfactory price. The
fabrics division continues to roll wool
out of the 1921 pool through heavy
and constantly growing demand for
farm bureau virgin wool suitings,
overcoats, blankets and other wool
products.
About 100000 pounds of wool
have been pooled and graded locally
and at the central grading warehouse
in Lansing since the close of the
summer campaign September l.. Calls
for graders to make return trips to
grading centers have been numerous.
In one instance 10000 pounds Of
wool was added. to the pool. Many
are shipping direct to Lansing,
where the wool is graded and the
regular fifty percent cash advance is
made on the value of the graded
wool.

RULING WILL HELP
LIVESTOCK SHIPPERS

Michigan livestock shippers are
hereafter relieved of paying the ex-
ira 2,000-pound minimum weight
which has gone with the placing of
an over-length 40-foot 6 inches car
says the State Farm Bureau traffic
department, quoting Supplement
No. 8, Kelly's Exceptions to the Of
fetal Classification.
The supplement states that effec-
tive October Is the same minimum
weights for livestock shall apply to
cars from 81 feet and inches in
length up to and including cars 40
feet and 6 inches in length. Hereto
fore the tariffs stated that after 40
feet and inches in length the next
minimum weight would apply, there
by obliging shippers in many in
stances to pay for 1000 pounds on
three more inches of car length.
With one Michigan railroad hav-
ing 500 such overlength cars, the
possible savings to farmers is appar-
ent.

Hill Bastes League.

DR.. David Jayne Hill. propably one
of the bestlvefsed men in the world on
diplomatic history and international
law. describes the league of nations so
terseiy and exactly that his words
merit quotation. THE league has I'M
dertaken to do very few of the distinc-
tive things it was designed to accomp.
lish," says DR.. Hill, land the intention
of doing them appears to have been
virtually renounced by the members.
1t has not prevented or terminated the
war. 1t has not suppressed aggression
upon one another by it's own members
1t has evidenced no purpose and pos
sesses no material competency to
enforce peace upon any strong nation
either ty an economic blockade or
other punitive measures. If this in
effectiveness of the league ia attributed
to n.participation of the United
States this pretention only confirms the
apprehension entertained in the United
States from the beginning, THAT, If a
member, this nation would be expected
to do what other nations have shown
themselves unable or indisposed to
undertake. That was the job they
had cut ont for us. and Mr. Wilson
admitted 1t in his promise to the Serbs
and Rumanians.

Another Stop.

According to Senator Edge, of New
Jersey, the tax bill as passed by the
Senate saves the nation 5000, QUO. 90
In taxes, compared with the Democratic
bill. and the serving is expected to

Wage Loss Over Two Billion.

The indications are that when this
year ends, the records will show that
about 100000 workers obeyed the
orders of their union leaders and quit
their jobs. 1t is estimated that they
lost in wages about $500, 900, 900, while
their employers lost three times as
much, and the public paid a tell OF
hundreds of millions in higher prices
occasioned by the walkout. Strikes
bring an expense many times greater
than any benefit that may come from
them.

WOMEN TO AFFILI-

That's why Rosenwald's make a moderate
