Wool graded locally will be stored in
local warehouses and sold from there.
c. Pickard, the county agent of
Humboldt, Ia, says that the only per-
sons who can obtain these blankets at
this price in that county are the
growers themselves. Each grower is
allowed to be advanced on his account
at the warehouse, one blanket for 50
pounds of wool which he consigned in
the pool last spring. Many of the
growers recognize the exceptional value
and are taking all of the blankets for
their own use to which they are en-
titled Ii is only the surplus blankets
which the growers do not wish to keep
which will be sold by the Humboldt
County Growers Blanket Exchange
being conducted under the supervision
of the farm bureau.
The merchants are beginning to wake
up to the advantage of this wool game,
and in a number of places the blankets
are put on exhibition at one of the
prominent dry goods stores in each
Deighborhood. 1t is stated that where
the factory prices on this kind of blan

may expect to buy them from them
selves relatively for $500 to $3.50.

portland, July 1l-A petition signed
by the municipal officers Of the city of
Portland was sent today to the Pub

relief from the operation of the law
making it necessary for locomotive
whistles to be sounded at all grade

of the Name Central must sound their
whistles almost continuously from the
time they enter the remote sections
of the city to the north until they ar
rive a Union Station.
This law has been in effect since
July 9. and has aroused the people
living in the suburbs to the point
where an appeal has been made to
the city officials. The petition asks
that an exception to the law be mad :

and substantial cash advance is made.
The educational value of this is heart

In Iowa, Missouri and some other
states as well as Michigan, the wool
growers are cooperating, arranging for
the manufacture OF blankets and suit
ings as additional outlets for the 1921
pool. Last year more than FIVE thou
sand blankets were sold in Michigan,
which gave the grower eight to ten
cents more for his wool.
Suitings are also to be made. It is
estimated that in buying suitings of
himself he will receive 80 per cent ad
ditional over the raw wool market
