HARDING OUT
 FOR DIPLOMATS

Marion, O., Jan. 4-President-e1ect Harding is looking for men possessing tact, personal charm, statesmanship and a thorough knowledge of the his tory, customs, conditions and pecu1i- arities of L1atin-America. When he finds them he wants to make them the diplomatic representatives of the United States in South American that no diplomatic posts yet have been rendered, makes it evident that the available material is not over abundant.
 Senator Harding, it became known today, feels that the problems they will have to face makts the selection of the most able men available for the Latin-American posts an impera- tive necessity. The scope of some of those problems was brought to the attention of Senator Harding today by W. W. Davies, of New York, who re gently returned from South America. Davies outlined the apprehension ex- pressed by Argentina over the provi- sions of the emergency tariff 1egisla- ton now before Congress. That coun- try, Davies declared, felt that if she were prevented by a tariff wall from selling wheat, meat, wool and hides to the United States she would be in no financial condition to buy American products. The President ous of encouraging and increas sin 2 trade with South America and at the same time is untalterably determin- ed to afford protection to American farmers and stock growers.

SUMMIT POOLS WOOL AGAIN,
WILL SHIP JULY %

Farmers in the vicinity of Sum-
nit met with County Agent Buchan-
an and j. c. Holmes, secretary of The
State Wool Growers Association.
July Is, and decided to pool their
wool again this season. All were
we'll pleased with the pool last year
as shown by their desire to pool
again. Only the first payment has
been received with one-third yet to
sell. This first payment in most
cases is more than could be received
locally at the present time.
Mr.. Holmes said that the handling
cost of last years. wool would not
be more than about 6 cents per
pound. This too includes freight
and everything. The total storing
and insurance at the warehouse only
amounts to about / cent per pound
per year.
County Agent Buchanan will be
in Summit and receive the wool for
this years pool July 20 and 80.
Farmers from any part OF the county
are at liberty to ship with the pool
If they care to take their wool tn
Summit. Wool from Sisseton, Will
mot, Peever and Corona could he
sent to Summit on Ben Eck's truck
line which runs between Sisseton and
Watertown.
On account of the large surplus
of wool and the present low price
many Of the farmers at the meeting
were anxious to have their wool
made into blankets. Mr.. Holmes
went direct from the meeting to Chi
cago where he will take up the
proposition with the wooden mills.
Some of the other states had their
wool made into blankets last year
and were we'll satisfied.
Summit pooled 10000 pounds OF
wool last year. This year it is es-
timated that $4,000 or 10000
car will be shipped as there is quite
lot of wool held over by some who
sheared too late to ship last year.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Jan. rs. -
Concerted demands for the imme-
date improvement of West avenue,
Sewaren, were made before the
Board Of Freeholders yesterday, by
one of the most representative dele
cations of officials and business men
that have ever appeared before the
county board. and though nothing
was definitely decided as to what
improvement will be made the con-
census of opinion is that some re-
lief will be afforded.
The agitation for a new road was
first started by the township COM
-mittee Of Woodbridge who have on
repeated occasions appeared before
the county board requesting that
some relief be given and the matter
has since that time engaged the at
tention of the Perth Amboy Cham
Der OF Commerce and some OF the
leading merchants and business
men of that city. who were present
yesterday.
Sir. Leon Is Spokesman
Albert Leon as spokesman and
representative of the Chamber of
Commerce spoke of the deplorable
and impossible condition OF the
thoroughfare. which extends from
the Woodbridge creek to the Port
Reading crossing. and of the great
need from the viewpoint of business
men of Middlesex county for the
immediate improving of the road
The speaker also pointed out the
possibility of opening a large tract
for home sites Immediately ada
cent to West avenue. which in its
present condition presents no in
ducements to prospective home
owners.
I'VE feel and insist that this road
is the one important one to improve
at this time" said Mr.. Leon. 4'and

business men of Perth .Amboy re-
quess thst immediate stepk be. taken

That nothing unreasonable was
being asked for was pointed out b,
the fact that the business of Peril

is derived to a large extent from
people using the road. and with the
proper repairs the business would
be retained in Aiddlesex county
where the merchants pay their
taxes. instead of being diverted 10

ing done.

ker submitted figures which he had
compiled from various reports
showing the net cost to the county

amounted to $31,824. Figures pre-

ident of the county league. who last
year earnestly advocated the erec-
ton of such hospital in the coun-
ty, presented the following letter
to the board. requesting that moth
ing further be done in the matter
pending the settlement of building
conditions and prices. His letter
follows:

years, been deeply interested in the
work of the suppression of .tubercu-
losis in Middlesex county. indeed, in
times past l have had the honor of
appearing before your body and dis
cussing questions connected there
with.
After consultation with such of
my fellow workers as / was able to
reach, have reached the conclusion
that it would be inadvisable to take
measures for the building of a san
atorium at the present time. You
are well aware of the conditions of
our people and of the high tension
which cannot be avoided, as well as
the great cost of any new enterprise
of this character at the present time.
These are conditions which did not
prevaik at the time when our society
and others were before your body
