TRUTH-IN-FABRIC
SUITS Retailers
RETAIL CLOTHlERS. APPARENTLY
LUKEWARM and Indifferent.
nut OPPOSING new Law

Nationwide interest aroused by
the ~anti-shoddy campaign on the
part OF proponents OF the "~truth-in-
fabrics bill which is now before
Congress and which will come up for
consideration at an early date has
had a tendency to focus attention on
the exact source of opposition to this
measure.
A New York newspaper recently
conducted a canvass of the situation
there and has come to the conclusion
that 1t Is not the retail clothing mer-
chants who are opposed to the truth
in-fabrics law, their attitude being
characterized however, as luke
warm and indifferent" which is far
more encouraging to the producer of
wool and the advocate OF the wide
spread use OF virgin wool. but more
particularly OF marking each gar
ment with the exact percentage of
protection Of the purchaser, than ac-
tive opposition on their part.
The retailer argues that people
have to have clothes: they must buy
them somewhere. No tribunal of
congress can interfere with primary
economic facts, retailers feel. and
they see no danger sign in possible
legislation OF this character. On the
contrary. in cases where 1t will pre-
vent Misrepresentation as when "all
wool" fabrics are made OF part cot
ton, and similar indefensible tactics.
they endorse the idea heartily.
A Local View
E. Mosher. who has been in the
clothing business in Rawlins for the
past 81 years. and who specializes in
high grade garments for men, was
asked to state his views on the Ques-
ton OF the state and local truth-in-
fabrics laws and the difficulties, "
any. encountered in their observance.
Mr.. Mosher said that not only did he
endorse the principle Of marking
plainly on all fabrics purporting to
be "all wool" or part WOOL. the act
ual percentage OF virgin wool con-
tained therein. as a matter OF COM
mon business honesty. but that he
was complying with the terms of
both state statute and city ordinance
on this subject.
Reputable manufacturers OF fine
clothing manifest no disinclination,
according to Mr.. Mosher, to inform
retailers as to the exact percentage
OF virgin wool In their garments and
there should be a general compliance
with this beneficial law. In the in
terests OF the wool growers and of
the public generally.

N0RcCl61 W LUG IAIKO6s
Aledo, Dec. 21.-Perry s. Richey,
for the past four years farm advisor
Of Mercer county, has rendered his
resignation to the directors OF the
county farm bureau organization,
to take effect not later than April
l, 1923. Mr.. Richey, while not pre-
pared to make definite statement
yesterday, said that he expected to
enter commercial work, which will
make necessary the removal Of his
family, from this city.
Mr.. Richey came to the Mercer
county advisorship in April, 1919,
coming from Purdue university,
where he had been engaged in ex-
tension work for several years.
During his four years here the farm
bureau has grown in membership
and expanded to take in wider
field of work. For the past two
years the bureau has maintained an
assistant advisor, A. r. Kemp, and
an Office secretary. A recent mem
bership campaign placed the signed
up membership for the coming
three years at 816 with the posi-
bility of others being added later.
Mr.. Richey is the third farm ad-
visor in this section of the state
to give up this line Of work in the
past six months. The others are
Advisors Wells of Warren county
and Edgerton : of Rock Island
county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richey have taken
an active part in the community
activities during their stay in the
city and their going will be regret
ted by many friends.
