Wool sales in the Boston market

is on consignment chiefly, as was
predicted. Intrest in. raw wool has
been transferred to the west, where
the shearing is said to be largely

sales reflect this caution. Undoubt-

Further measures toward con-
trolling the spread of alfalfa weevil
in western Nevada will be started
this month when three machines
for spraying fields and those sus-
pected will be put to work under
direction of DR.. Records, quar-

part of the program for weevil

making effective control measures.
The first spraying machine will

tional commander OF the American

Colonel Owsley said that the noble
aims and high Ideals OF the nation
must be maintained and he charged
every member OF the legion with that
patriotic duty. Irrespective Of po.
litical party ties. he added, the legion
must band together to fight radical
ism and guard against the time when
the red flag might be hoisted above
the nations flag.
He urged the legion 10 fight Just
as valiantly in the interests OF peace
as they did in the war. and to this
end he said that President Hard

Earlier in the day preamble to

Problem OF Democrats.
Two main problems will thereupon
confront the Democrats and are now
receiving their careful, patriotic con-
sideration. To what extent, in the
light Of the wslfare of the country,
and in the light OF the welfare of the
Democratic party, ought they to COM
bine with the La Toilette Repub.
leans? That is the first problem.
This writer is able to state that
q certain overture by some of the
La Follttte Republicans to some Of
the Democrats was made last spring
and was rejected. Washington now
is beginning to think that the much
heralded coalition between the La
Toilette Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis will not happen. It is be-.
ginning to think that the actual de.
velopments will be as follows:
The Democratic council Of war
will evolve a lot Of nice proposed
laws, perhaps on the tariff, perhaps
also on taxation, probably also on
other things, These laws will be
so contrived that the La Toilette
Republicans will be forced by their
principles to vote for them. This
will give them majority in the
House. Then the regular Repub.
leans will be obliged either to gag
that majority or else let those
laws go through and probably get
passed by the Senate and then get
vetoed by President Harding.
In either case the Republican
party. whether through q Republi.
can gag applied In the House or
through a Republican veto applied
by the President. will be exhibited
to the country, the Democrats be-
lieve. as a very wicked and reac-
tionary party. The voters then, It
is hoped, in November Of 1924, will
do the rest. Such IL the open secret
