Special Dispatch to The Star.
FORT WORTH. July because
wool growers in this state are unwil-
ling to accept bids for their clips at
present prices, the market has prac-
tiCally disappeared from the ranges.
BUYERS from the north and cast have
gone home and those who live in
this state are inactive. Growers,
owing to their refusal to accept less
than 53Is to 81 cents a pound, which
prices the Texas clips brought earlier
in the year. have about 100000
hounds of wool on their hands.
However, about 100000 pounds
has been sold at prices ranging from
40 to above so cents, SO that grow
ers can hold the remainder of their
product for higher prices without
serious financial inconvenience.

If you are overfat and also averse to

of the table and still want to reduce your
excess flesh several pounds do this: Go
to your druggist Cor write the Marmola

dollar. For this modest amount of money
the druggist will put you in the way of
satisfying your ambition for a nice. trim.
slim figure. He will hand you case of
MarmOia Prescription Tablets, (com-
pounded In accordance with the famous
Marmola Prescription). one of which you
must take after each meal and at bed
time until you begin to lose your fat
steadily and easily. Then continue the
treatment until your weight is what you
desire Marmola Prescription Tablets are
not only harmless but really beneficial to
the general health. You don't need star

go on eating what you like. leave exer-

sucp laws with q view to prohibiting
the overlooking of trucks (this pre-
venting damage to them and to the
highways over which they operate)
also to prevent unfair and unpro-
ntonie competition with motor oper-
ate0 or other forms Of transportation
Lately there has been a good deal
OF talk OF passing laws which would
put the truck and bus under the con-
.Ioi OF the various state Public IT'LL
tues Commissions and this, I believe,
IL logical solution~of many of the
problems now facing the industry. It
would be the height Of folly to create
q new bureau In each state to govern
this regulation.
With the motor truck an admitted
success in the freight transportation
neld, ones mind naturally turns to
the bus field and seeks to find the an
swer to the question, "What will
the motor bus amount to-"
RMS is q question in answer to
which even the best informed truck
man could not give you an adequate
statement Of facts. We see ahead an
era OF bus transportation where
thousands of these vehicles will be
operated on the roads as feeders to
AAAAAA tLOAcy lines anu the RAILROADS.
ana perhaps replacing the trolley car
IN density populated areas.
We also see in the future, an era
when every small town in the coun-
try without railroad or trolley SER
vice will be served by bus lines.
| The bus business, in our estimation,
Is only in it's infancy and the most
conservative manufacturer does not
hesitate. to say that vast changes
will probably be seen in this field
within the next decade.
We believe that the bus will have a
| big future in the transportation of
school children to and from school. It
has already made possible and prac-
ticable the efficient and well equipped
consolidated School, which is rap
idly displacing the "little red school,
| OF the rural districts.
And SO we have a vision Of bust
| ness men using the motor truck to
lower the cost Of their goods to the
public: we see the bus operated to
lower the cost Of personal transport
tation and for the convenience Of the
public: and. lastly. we see regulatory
laws to govern weight, loading, speed
and also freight rates and passenger
fares so that q definite basis may be
set down for motor vehicle opera
