THE woMANLY WOMAN
Exchange

Exchange:-
Beware Of three women-the ono
who does not love children, the one
who does not love flowers, and the one
who declares openly she does not Ike
other women. There is something
wanting in each, and in all probability
its place is supplied by some unlovi6k
trait.

after all, the prattle every woman
usually breaks into at sight Of one Of
the tiny things is very sweet 20
masculine ears. II was the first
language they ever knew.
They may laugh, too at the small
garden tools, which seem like play
things to their strength, but in their
hearts they associate, and rightfulIy,
refinement Of character and life with
the pursuit Of gardening.
AS for the woman who does not love
her own sex, and boldly avows It, she
creates only an unfavorable impression
against herself for q sweeping con-
demnation Of . sex which contains
innumerable examples Of all that is

A NEW GAME OF WITS

Exchange
Frank A. Munsey gives the latest
news from London society. To be
witty" you invent the name of an
imaginary book and the name of an
imaginary author, the two names
combined provide the "wit."
For instance, "Have you read The
Drunkard" by Maude Lynn?' See the
point? Answer: "No, but enjoyed
The Horseman by Rhoda Stride"
Try it yourself What would you
suggest concerning the Horsepower
treaty and its author? Plenty Of room
for wit there.
Mr.. Munsey gives other examples
TO encourage you-"The Whisper"
by Lena Gross; "The Missed Break
fast" by primrose Late;" "The Closed
Door" by Willy Fawcett; (that one is
rather hard, the explanation is Willie

State Wool Men Profit by Wool

North Dakota's 1922 wool pool, con-
sisting of some 100000 lbs, has been
sold at a price that will net growers
from 30 to 3S cents a pound on the
farm, which represents a saving OF
more than $4,000 as compared to
prices received by growers who sold
to county buyers this spring, accord
ing to J. w. HaW, county agent lead
er at the North Dakota Agricultural
college, who has just been appraised
of compile elton Of sales by }. A. Pow
ers of Leonard, president Of the State
= Federation Of Wool Growers Assocl-
alton.
While wool growers outside OF the
pool received from 26 to % cents a
pound for wool with the highest sales
reported at 80 to 3S cents pound,
prices to members Of the wool pool,
which was sponsored by county ag-
ents of the state, were 35 cents for
the average grades of wool, mainly
3/S blood and ia blood, and 81 to 38
cents on the farm for the finer sorts,
1/2 blood and fine, according to a re-
cent report Of the organization. Pay
ment for the wool is expected to reach
growers at about the time that the
wool reaches Boston, which is expect
ed to be within a few weeks. Some
difficulty was experienced in securing
cars to load out the wool.
Consignors will be paid for their
wool according to the average price
received for the grades into which
the pool and the shipments were di-
vided, and according to the amount Of
freight advanced on the shipment to
the pool, say officials. County wool
growers associations, organized un-
der the direction of county agents, CO.

which handles the warehousing and
selling Of the wool, and such other de-
tails as are of common interest to the
