VISITED THE YELLOWSTONE


Arthur Curme. of the Reidston
farms, arrived home from his trip to
the Yellowstone country in time to
buy lot of corn at 20 cents bushel,
delivered on Monday, and to sell a
drove of hogs on Tuesday forenoon,
prior to eating dinner with the Rotar-
ians. He says 1t was a great trip and
more than worth its cost or the time
spent in travel and sightseeing.
There were nine in the Curme tour
ing party, including Mrs Curme, Ar
thurs father and mother from Chica-
go, other members of the famil and
one of the managers of the Curme
chain of shoe stores. The party trav-
elled by way of Denver, Colorado
Springs and Glenwood Springs, max
ing liberal stops at all points of inter-
est Their tour wound up as far as
Arthur and Mrs. Curme is concerned,
by visit to Salt Lake City and Og-
den, and thence to Yellowstone Park,
where the party spent five days of
solid enjoyment of its scenic wonders.
The party entered the park at West
Yellowstone and emerged from the
park at Gardiner, Montana, from
whence Mr.. and Mrs. Curme left for
Richmond. Some of the party are
still in the west, the senior Curme to
take some baths, after which he will
stop in a few western cities on bust
ness. Mr.. Curme said that their party
passed the location of the new Geyser
in Yellowstone Park shortly after its
first eruption, and that the mud and
debris choked the regular road max
nj a dnfn oT =,
party which preceded them were
drenched at the edge of the downpour
from the eruption.
Good Ad For Virgin Wool
We commend the good judgment of
the Danville, Illinois, dry cleaner who
uses the outside back cover of the
telephone directory to praise the vir-
tues of Virgin Wool"
He starts out by saying: There is
a bill before congress known as the
truth in fabric law. This bill is being
supported by
1.-THE National Association of Dyers
and Cleaners; The National Associa-
ton of Wool Growers; The National
Merchant Tailors' Association; The
American Farm Bureau Federation.
This bill will mean that every
manufacturer shall stamp his goods
showing just how much cotton, jute,
shoddy-or old wool rags-and virgin
wool they contain"
The closing paragraph of his ad
clinches the whole matter This reads:
There are no fabrics which will dry
clean, dye, press and wear like vir-
gin wool"
AS is we'll known the farmers are
fighting for this bill, were, in fact,
its instigators. On the other hand
many manufacturers and importers OF
woolens are dead set against its pas
sage. In view of the merits of the
bill and of virgin wool fabrics it would
seem that the entire consuming public
should favor the measure, as all who
are aware of what the bill means,
doubtless are
Hunting the Corn Borer.
1t may not be generally known, even
to farmers, but it nevertheless is true
that o. S. department of agriculture
workers are busy all over the eastern
edge of the corn belt on the lookout
for the European corn borer, which
was discovered in northeastern Ohio
last fail, for the first time.
Two of these government employ
ees were in Shelby county last week
and were found by the county agent
while they we're at work in a corn
field near Shelbyville. It is said that
the borer prefers sweet corn to field
varieties and as much sweet corn is
grown in Shelby the agents also took
note of such fields. The European
corn borer is the most destructive
pest ever found in a corn field. It's
history in this country and in Canada
was printed in The Palladium, last
fall
The government men reported on
Tuesday that their investigations thus
