The South Dakota organization is

es located in convenient storage and
shipping centers throughout the

ket price plus the tariff.
This system of cooperative wool
marketing" says j. C. Holmes, live
stock and wool specialist in the state
department of agriculture, "is being
backed by county and state farm bu-
reaus and throughout the country
and by the leading sheep growers
organizations in the range districts.
1t has proved its reliability by going
through the low wool markets Of
1920 and 1921 successfully and this
year has made the local buyers pay
the farmers many dollars which they
would not have received under the
old hit or miss method of selling
their clip
''The POOLS aim," conLE Ged the
wool specialist, sis to sell every
members wool on its merits at the
world market price at the cost of
handling, and to do this in an ef-
ficient manner. The sales agency is
now amply financed and experience

4 ing TO less than carload lots are ex-
pected from several more counties

Holmes said.
"The rise in wool prices this

\ declared. However those whs
stuck by the pool believe goot

was staged in Dell Rapids late Sat
urday night when Jack Smith, the
city's policeman, attacked DR.. f. M.
Phillips. veterinarian, on the main
street. Phillips had stopped for an
errand, leaving a friend al the wheel
and the engine. running. Smith or
dered him to remove the acr and an
argument followed. Smith then in
vited Phillips to a nearby corner to
settle the matter. When they reach
ed the corner Smith seized Phillips
by the throat saying, This has gone
far enough" and began striking
Phillips with his billy" Phillips
struck Smith in the face with his
fist. then jerked the "billy" from
him and struck Smith with ii.
smashing the club and rendering it
useless. Smith then pulled a gun. II
is alleged and Phillips started to get
away, the surrounding crowd open
ing lane for him to get through.
Phillips lodged into the crowd Just
as Smith fired, but bystander
Knocked down his arm so the bullet
went into the ground, then rebound
ed through the lane and nobody was
hit. Bystanders then took the gun
from Smith, who was roughly hand
led,
AT no time did Smith attempt to
put Phillips under arrest, but tried
to argue the matter out personally.
Smiths face is badly cut and he has

There was a crowd of more than
100 men who saw the affair, and il
is freely stated today that If Smith

crowd with his bullet he would have
been badly used up, as the sentiment
of the crowd was against him. Phil.
