Senior Play Takes
House by Storm

a crowded house greeted the sem
Tor class of the high school, Monday
evening, when the three-act comedy.
1.-THE Bashful Mr.. Bobbs," was pre-
scented in town hall. This was coach
ed by Miss Evangefne Mailhot of
the commercial department and the
entire performance would have done
credit to quite experienced actors.
Each seemed well suited to his part
and the play itself was full of conf
cal situations, which the members
of the cast seemed fully equal to
carrying out. Seldom, if ever, was
an amateur play presented in town
more successfully than that of Mon
day evening. Miss Mailhot and the
class are to be congratulated upon
the fine results of their efforts.
The high school orchestra, organ
lied and conducted by Principal
Fred II. Moulton. made it's first APP
pearance before the public at the
senior play Monday evening, The
audience was very enthusiastic in
praise of the excellent music furn-
ished by the II young people and
very appreciative of the effort made
by Principal Moulton and the quite
remarkable results. Practice will
continue and the orchestra will be
prepared to furnish music for the
school functions during the remain
der of the year.
The pupils of the Hill road school
with Miss Ruby Mallock. teacher,
will hol da box supper and social at
$50. Friday evening next, at the
schOolhousc. Box lunches will be
sold and hot coffee served. Those
attending should furnish themselves
cup and spoon. The public is in
vitcd to be present.

Motion Asks Race
Understanding In
uskegee Talk.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 12.-Mu-
tual understanding between the races
and a frank discussion of the prob
lens confronting the white and black
races was urged by DR.. Robert r. Mo-
ton, principal of the Tuskegee insti-
tute, in an address delivered here to-
day at the sixtieth annual emancipa-
ton celebration. He was greeted by
one Of the largest colored audiences
ever assembled in the city. The cele-
bration was held at Old Ship Church.
The platform of race relations en-
phasized by DR.. Motion was heartily
indorsed by DR.. ]. w. Abercrombie,
state superintendent of education.
DR.. Motion declared that the Negro
race must recognize its shortcomings;
must emphasize to the white man
"the fact that the criminal element
of our race represents a small mi
nority and that we do not condone
crime in any form and that we do
not like to have the whole race judged
by and blamed for the conduct Of a
few individuals"

December Livestock
And Range Report

Generally favorable livestock and
range conditions are reported In the
monthly livestock and range report
Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture issued by the Division
of Crop and Livestock Estimates
from its Cheyenne office.
Ranges and Feed
Wyoming range conditions are
generally good and reports from
over the state indicate a condition
of 80 per cent compared to 30 per
cent one year ago. Ranges carry
a very heavy crop. of forage, but due
to heavy fall rains the grass and
other feed did not cure as we'll -
in past years and some of the feed
was badly flattened by early SHOWS.
Ranges in Fremont County and other
higher sections were covered with
snow late in October which has re-
suited in heavy feeding. Generally
ranges are in good shape. the desert
sheep ranges along the Union Pa
cific are in good condition and free
from snow.
The hay crop was large this year,
but due to heavy rains the quality
ia but fair, however most Of the
state is well supplied with feed ex-
cept parts Of Fremont and Washable
counties where the crop is short.
There is a large amount of corn and
other feed crops.
Cattle
Cattle are generally in good con-
dition and the month Of November
was generally favorable for cattle.
Feeding has started in some Of the
higher valleys. Reports from over
the state indicate a condition of 96
per cent a decline of I points dur
ing November but 4 points above
the condition one year ago. Cattle
men are still very discouraged and
returns from this years marketings
are below those of last year. The
movement Of cattle to market has
been a little heavier than in 1922.
with heavier run in cows. heifers
and young stuff.
Sheep
Sheep showed a slight drop in con-
dition during November and are re-
ported as 81 per cent Of normal, 2
points above last year and 3 points
below n month ago. Most of the
sheep ranges are open except in
parts Of Fremont county and, a few
high ranges. Sheep have done very
well this fall and old ewes are In
unusually good shape. Winter range
prospects in sheep sections are very
good and sheep men anticipate
very favorable winter barring bad
storms.

giving what he believed to be the
real rsaeon for the poor wool mar
ket.
The article was as follows:
There is much mystery in the wool
market Of late, and no one seems
able to explain satisfactorily a num-
Der OF things. James F.. Poole, In
The Producer, brings out the facts
that wool is being re-exported from
Boston to London. to get the benefit
Of the higher market there; that
consumption is at ebb tide, and slow
Ing up; that men are economizing
on clothes. in spite of low temper
atures; and that the automobile is
responsible for the decreased de-
pand for clothing. The fact is
shown as indisputable that the
worlds consumption of wool is con-
siderably in xcess of production.
Now, Mr.. Poole is an able writer,
much indebted for Information, and
personal criticism is not intended.
His article is mentioned only as a
yair sample of the wool reports
reaching producers. Exception is
uOl TAKEN u WHdl lHeSe reports 90
say, but to what they do not say.
They do not take account OF the
chief supply Of wool in the United
States. That supply is shoddy, and
the rags whence shoddy comes.
In clearing up the mystery OF the
wool market. it would be well to
take into consideration the compo-
sition of wooden fabrics. II they
r make entirely OF new or virgin
wool, then the plot thickens; but II,
as has been stated often by many
authorities. the composition OF wool
en- farbics is for the most part shod-
dy or secondhand wool, then there
Is no longer any mystery In the wool
market. II the mills elect to use a
very large percentage OF shoddy in
their products, then they do not
need very much new wool. and con
%sequently it is not necessary to buy
much of either foreign or domestic
wool. Foreign wool in bond in the
United States, where new wool Is
practically unstable. seeks other
markets where they have use for
new wool as clothing material. If
those who report wool markets do
not choose to take account of the
vast supplies of shoddy and rags
from which "~all-wool' clothing is
, 1923-12-27

made, then. of course, there will be
ruch that is very hard for thee to
explain.
Shoddy is a very cheap raw ma
terial compared with virgin wool.
and when virgin wool must meet
shoddy in unfair competition in all
wool fabrics. and neither is identi-
fed for the consumer. then virgin
wool must suffer in price and in
reputation. And when shoddy is
used as an unidentified substitute
for virgin wool. and manufacturers,
being only hulran, buy shoddy in
preference to virPin wool when It
serves their purposes better-that is
to look we'll and wear out-then the
price OF virgin wool in bond in Bos-
ton is apt to drop below the London
price, and wool is re-exported.
The tariff protects wo~ol-growers
from cheaply grown wools produced
in foreign countries. but not from
wool substitutes produced in the
United States under a very low
tariff. This is an entirely different
ailment, requiring a different kind
OF treatment. The tariff is not a
c%ure-all.
The automobile is blamed for the
lack of clothing orders. This does
not seem reasonable. The auto
mobile takes people to all kinds Of
places where all kinds Of clothes are
worn - evening clothes. business
suits. sport clothes OF all kinds;
more different kinds of clothes than
were considered necessary before the
advent Of the car. The auto Is be-
Ing made the goat when it is really
the able ally OF the clothing man,
tearing and smearing with mud and
grease the clothes that were new
in the morning.

unity to the two big blast furnaces
which the furnaces are fed.
The furnace dust, caught up in
suction c%onveyors, is carried directly
to the Sintering Plant and there is
mixed with cast iron borings gath
cred from the various Ford manu-
featuring units.
C%onveyors also carry the mixed
dust and borings to the plant and
dump the mixture into the Sintering
pan which is Of three ton capacity.
A gas flame of intense heat is pass
ed owe the dust and action Of the
coke. under this heat and the sue
ton draft fuses the mixture into
chunks Of sufficient size and
weight for 8 in the furnace and
'hus the iron ore in the dust Is re-
claimed.
Ford sinter as produced at the
new River Rogue Plant is of finer
quality than any on the market,
running between 70 and rs per cent
iron. 1t is considered an important
blast furnace material and because
Of its porous nature permits better
and more effective operation OF the
blast with the result that the furn-
ice product is more uniform and
therefore a higher quality iron for
the castings.
An average of fifty tons of blast
furnace dust comes from the two
furnaces daily. The %Sintering Plant
will produce more than $50 tons of
sinter a day due to the mixture Of
iron borings and dust, which speeds
up the process reducing the sinter-
ing period from 20 or 80 minutes
under ordinary circumstances to
about seven minutes. At least 100
tons are being taken every day from
the great mountain Of dust which
the company has been saving and is
estimated that at this rate it will
take a year and a half to use up the
mountain and turn it into Ford iron.

Grazing Permits
Are Authorized

The district forester at Denver,
Colo, has authorized the grazing of
1850 head of cattle and $4,000
head Of sheep for the 1924 season.
This permits Of the same number of
cattle authorized for 1923, except
that a reduction OF SO head has been
made on the Foxpart district because
Of slightly crowded conditions on
that district and a reduction of 100
head on the Barrett Ridge unit ne
cessitated by o~vergrazing in Ryan
Park. Permittees on the Barrett
Ridge unit will next year be requir-
ed to do sufficient riding to prevent
the congregation of cattle in Ryan
Park.
Permits in 1924 will be issued on
IN annual basis for all permittees
with established grazing preferences,
since the new five year permits will
not be put into effect until 1925, af-
ter the determination Of the new
grazing fees to be put into effect
at that time.
The practice of counting all stock
grazed under regular permits as
they enter the Forest is to be con-
ttnued. Stock grazed under on and
off permits will be counted in the
feed lots in the spring. Sheep will
be counted at the corrals as they
enter the Foerst.
All cattle permittees grazing cat
tie AMI horses will be required to
place IN average Of 7fb of salt per
head on the Forest ranges. Salt is
TO be placed on the ranges at the
same time as cattle are liberated
or as soon thereafter as weather con-
litions permit. Sheep permittees
will be required to follow out the
bedding out system, and failure to
do so may result in q cut of their
preference number. This system
has resulted in a uniformly better
use Of range and a production of
larger lambs.

that seers to be an admitted
fact. Why not consider that they
are dissatisfied with the kind of
wooden clothing that they have an
opportunity to buy? Perhaps thew
nave heard about the reworked wool
and prefer to buy cotton or some
thing else.
julius II. Barnes, president of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, made the statement that
there has been recorded during the
past few months our largest cotton
consumption" People are buying
cotton cloth. What is the matter
with wooden cloth?
