DOSE 1T PAY TO POOL WOOL?

This question of pooling wool comes
before the sheepmen of the state
every spring. Do you know that ON
the average, for five year period,
pooling has paid from sc to Zoe per
pound mo.,a than the grower could
get locally at shearing time?
The average pri"" .eceiVed by those
in the Wisconsin pool, during 1922
was 37.7 cents per pound. This was
equal to CT cents more per pound
than was paid locally.
Do you know the present prices
for the different grades Of wool on
the present market. Here's a few
quotations on tine basis Of f. 0. b.
mill:
Fine and Fine Medium Staple 56-57
Fine and Fine Medium Clothi:g 52-53
IL Blood Staple 55-56
II Blood Clothing 51-52
Is Blood Staple 54-55
rs Blood Clothing 50-5l
n Blood Staple 1888
Il Bloccl Clothing 1880
Low u 44-45
Fine and u BURY & Seedy 1870

The average expense OF fselling Gi-
Giect to the mills through the pool
would be from to 313 cents per
pound which should be deducted from
the above prices. Compare this with
local quotations.

would you patronlze?
SUPPOSING---
Practically every dollar the
first and second companies re-

viewed from two angles. 1t may first
be considered as a question involving
the equitable division of construction
expenses between the present taxpay-
ers and future generations. This calls
, for meeting the cost of highway build
ing jointly by taxes and by bonds. A
second viewpoint of the just distribu-
ton OF financial responsibility deals
with the division Of such cost between
those actually using the highways and
the taxpayers in general.
Under the present system, regard
ing the county as a unit, the citizens
in each county have generally followed
the plan of voting bonds for road con-
structions, thus equalizing the cost
between this and future generations
receiving the benefits, and scattering
over a period Of years the burden of
payment. BY some it is considered
wise that the state should adopt sim
liar policy, involving the issuance of
bonds. If the state should follow this
procedure in financing and taking over
the construction Of designated state
highways, those counties which have
already expended large sums in high
way improvement should receive cred
it for the money already spent as COM
pared with the counties having little or
no money invested in such improve
ment.
Many Solutions Offered.
Many other thoughtful suggestions
have been offered for financing a great
system of state highways. 1t has been
proposed by some that the users Of the
road pay the entire maintenance cost;
others suggest that property owners
whose land is adjacent to and served
by the highway bear a proportionate
part OF the road building and mainten-
ance tax. Some states have advocated
and adopted tax on gasoline. others
an added tax on motor vehicles.
Whatever may be the wisest policy
for Texas to adopt with a view of fl
nancing broad and comprehensive
plan OF road building. in keeping with
the progress and future development
of this splendid commonwealth. we can
without doubt rely on patriotic citi-
zenship and on a progressive law-mak-
ing body to solve Alright this state
wide problem and give TO Texas road
building system second TO none be-
meath the Stars and Stripes.

DEMAND FOR MOTOR
TRUCKS IN FOREIGN
COUNTRIES GROWING
Federal Officials Expect
Normal Export Year
in 1923.

"The demand for motor trucks
abroad is increasing rapidly. New pas.
senger lines, road building, construc-
ton and general improvement of bust
ness conditions all play a part in the
increasing of made-in-America trucks
for export"
Thus does W. Ward Mohun, export
manager of the Federal Motor Truck
company. summarize conditions in the
export field as regards the motor
trucks.
Discussing export possibilities with
Charles Koehler of the Koehler-Kun-
kel Motor company, local Federal dis
tributors, Mr.. Mohun said:
BASED on present business, our for
eign shipments in 1923 will be four TO
five times greater than last year.
Japan alone has ordered more Federal
trucks in one month this year than in
any six months of 1922. Japan does
rot tax motor trucks as heavily as
passenger cars, believing that rapid
highway transportation will benefit
the country industrially and therefore
ought TO be encouraged.
porto Rico is another country
which is coming to the front in motor
trucks. Practically all the bus lines
in the island. and there are many of
them, use Federals. There has not
been a month in the last year and a
half in which Federals have not been
shipped to Porto Rico.
I'VE have every reason to believe. :"
concluded Mr.. Mohun. "that this year.
as far as our company is concerned.
will be a normal export year and II
it is, we will send from 20 TO % per
cent Of our output Abroad

Change Is Essential.


The experience gained during the
last five years has convinced civil en-
gineers and men of affairs who have
given thought to the subject, that our
present system of highway building
must be improved and a more salts
factory and comprehensive plan adopt
ed. In order to provide system of
highways that will connect all our
rural communities with their respec-
tive trade centers. and which will also
connect our towns. county seats and
larger cities. finally connecting our
state with the great cardinal high
ways of the nation. we must get away
from the provincial idea that all pub
lie roads are county roads," and get
our minds definitely fixed on great
system of state highways which is in
flnitely more than mere public roads.
County financing, county construction.
county supervision and maintenance
of our state highway system must be
supplanted by state supervision. In
other words, our cardinal state high
ways must be built for the use Of all
people of our state and our neighbor-
ing states. They must be built under
the supervision and direction Of our
state Highway Department. and the
expenses of building must be borne
by. our state with whatever financial
aid the national government may. see
fit to give.
Status Of Federal Aid.
Texas has 10000 miles of public
road. enough milage to encircle the
earth seven times. OF this amount
only $4,000 miles, or 10 per cent.
are designated as state highways.
Texas leads all other state, in
highway building; in amount of fed
eral aid received for roads, and in
the amount Of work under construc-
ton. Texas has for road build
ing the largest federal appropriation of
any state in the union. amounting to
approximately S32.OOO,OOO. This ex-
cceeds the allotment to any other state
by more than two and one-half mil
lion dollars. But Texas has far
greater area to cover with an adequate
system of roads than arr other state.
We have, in the past. despite the de,
fects in and objections to the county
unit system of road construction. ac-

reached the point where a competent

II Kidneys And
Bladder Bother
Take Salts To Flush Kidneys And
Neutralize Irritating Acids

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
lnflame, causing burning, scalding
sensation or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, ob1iging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
/ constant dread, the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most sill ple ailments to ov-
ercome. Gen about four ounces of
Jad Salts froN " our pharmacist and
lake tablespSoh ful in a glass of
water before Skfast, continue this
for two or three INys. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of INITIATION to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia water drink, which often
quickly relieves bladder irritation. :

building which has been found to be
inadequate to the needs of school. At
present there is no auditorium, which
is, in itself, great drawback to the
progress of the school socially as we'll
