How they headed up to win,
An reckon you remember
When the pool crop all wuz sold,
Jad Wilson's little children,
Weren't so ragged or so cold.
Jad bought a parlor organ
An a white oak foldin' bed,
An the things he bought at Christmas,
From tin horn to a sled,o
Oh, 'twuz joy within the cottage
Happy voices everywhere,
An it seemed to old Jad Wilson
That the Lord had dropped down
there.

The Comma.

During an examination in an Eng
lish school the inspector began to
question the pupils on punctuation
when the mayor, a pompous individ-
ual, interrupted with the remark:
"It is foolish to bother about COM
mas and such like" The inspector
flushed angrily, and turning to one
of the boys he bade him write on
the blackboard, The mayor of Chees-
ington says the inspector is fool.
Now" he continued, "put comma
after Cheesington and another after
inspector" The boy did SO, and the
mayor kept quiet after that.

From Old Kentucky
lad, The Poo1er.

Jad Wilson had been croppin'
Well, reckon, twenty years,
A CROWN Nv terbacker
An a rai1n' on the sheer.
An when each year was windin' up
It was the same old thing,
He had as much at Christmas
As he'd started with in spring.
The expenses kept cimbin'
An his children numbered more,
Seems the Lord delights in sendin'
Lots Nv children to the pore;
But Jad kept on scratchin',
On his lace there came nc froWn'
But the price wv old white hurley
Kept a drappin' steady down.
An he wrestled with the fox-taI
An the creeper vines an Weeds
An the pulsey an the cut-worms,
Ar TIE sweat stood out IN beads
On his bald head as he hustled,
An the news came floatin roun'
That the buyers had predicted
That the crop would sell way down.
In the winter when the buyers
Came q ridin' to his barn
With a leetle tech Of icker,
Seems they didn't give darn
81 they bought it or they loft it,
AS they looked the samples o'er,
ave will give you six cents fer It,
An nary red cent more"
An lad Wilson had to take it,
Twu a bitter day fer him.
But he buckied up his girdle
An he faced the future grim.
Oh the little ones were ragged,
An, their little feet were cold,
But the men who bought their hurley
Gri1ned behind their piles Nv gold
Did you ever git to thlnkln
How conditions sometimes change
How the under dog comes out on top -!
I don't know, but it's strange
The farmer didn't note the fact
That he was such fool
Till he boosted up the prices
By the fornnin' Nv a pool.
lad Wilson WIZ among the first
To take his pen in hand
An grace the contrac' with his name
Says he, 81 take my stand
An here I'll stay, till Judgment Day
A fightin' till I bust
The hand that's been 3 chokin' me-
Here's one agin' the Trust"
You know the fight and struggle,
How they begged them to come ln'
How they shouldered up together

FIRE INSURANCE
IS FORUM TOPIC

Casper a seldom had presented to
1t for consideration a topic of greater
interest and economic significance
than that Of the classification of the
city as a fire risk. The question most
frequently asked by those who are
carrying insurance upon their prop
erty is. when are the Fire Rates
going to the reduced?" A readjust-
mont of fire rates for the city is
scheduled by the Mountain States In.
spection bureau for May 1, 1922.
The city has installed some appar-
atus n improved its fire fighting
equipment. which will have a tend.
ency toward n reduction ii rates of
fire insurance. There Is quite pre-.
valent opinion that these improve.
ments alone are sufficient to make a
land slide in rates. This is a mistaken
idea. for while city preparedness has
important bearing upon Insurance
rates, the prime factor in determining
a rate upon any individual piece of
property. is its own condition as a
fire risk. And secondary to this is the
condition OF neighboring property
lose enought to make a fire hazard.
IN insurance rating, IAN ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of
cure City equipment is a cure for
fires. of which a pound is required to
equal an ounce of prevention, h is
easily taken care OF by the individual
owner.

a disposition to do their bit toward

WOOL TRADING QUIET BUT NO Weakness IS REVEALED
STATE ASSOCIATION REVIEWS CONDITIONS FOR WEEK

In order TO keep the wool growers
" the state informed on the actual
ondition prevalent In the nations
yoolen markets and to prevent the
possibility of panicky feeling among
producers through the efforts OF wool
en- house propaganda. the Wyoming
woolgrowers' association is sending
n weekly letter to all growers advising
them of the exact condition of the in
dustry.
Placing such information at the dis
posal of the wool grower neccssitated
perfecting a clearing organization in
the east and the establishment of re-
putable correspondents ut the chief
markets. These correspondents will
send weekly letters summarizing the
conditions of the wool trade and will
make suggestions which will be bene-
ficial to wyoming growers. The men
who are watching the movement are
experts stationed ut the markets.
The first letter of the series pre
pored by Secretary ]. B. Wilson is
now in the mails. 1t is reproduced
here because of its value to the sheep
industry of the state:
THE wool market now is decidedly
quiet. This may be attributed in part
to the dullness in the wooden and
worsted goods market. Some manu-
facturers have sold large lines of piece
goods, particularly in woolens and
o~vercoatings. The worsted manufac-
turers. however, have booked a very
small business for fall and there is
now n large amount of idle worsted
machinery. This lack of demand for
piece goods is largely traceable to the
fact tina employees and employers in
the clothing trade are attempting to
adjust their differences. 1t is gen
orally believed hat if these differences
are settled there will be a very largely
increased demand for both woolens and
worsteds which will naturally be re-
Elected in the demand for raw wool.
aside from the lack OF demand for
woolens and worsteds we can see no
weakness in the wool market.

GRADE

I'm order to determine the cost of
foreign woods in the country at the
present time with the emergency tar
Tiff in effect, it would be necessary to
add 45c per clean pound. You can
easily arrive at the probable cost of
the foreign woods under the perma-
nent tariff by adding SIC per clean
pound From this you will see thai
on most of the woods there is a chance
OF a slight rise above present Boston
selling prices before domestic woods
will be on a parity with foreign woods
of competing grades. This of course
remains r only so long as the for
eign markets remain at the present
level.
The asst series of London wool
sales closed strong as did the Austral-
ian sales. Prices in South America
till remain firm SO there does not seem
much probability for a decline from
the present level in the price Of our
woods.
we have arranged with n CONNER
cial correspondent in Boston to tele-
graph Us a brief report on wool each
week. These will be printed and for
warded to our members. Please re-
member that these reports merely re-
fleet the opinion of u correspondent
and are as nearly accurate as it is pos
sible to make them.
THE following is the telegram re-
ceived from our Boston correspondent
today:

TINT the wool duty in the
