n shock to the many who knew him.
Death came as a distinct shock to the
family and relatives Of VILLAIN for
he had been sick only about two
weeks and his sickness was not con-
sidered as serious, for like SO many
at this time OF the year. he
had a cold which made him feel pep
less and weak.
About two weeks ago he first COM
planned OF not feeling we'll but he
not sick enough to be confined
to his bed. As the days passed he
to become weaker and 1t was
only last Thursday that It was
thought advisable to bring him to
Rawlins. He was brought TO this
city on Friday and taken to the hos
pital. 1t was on Saturday night that
he died. Thus In the prime OF life

by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Emil
two sisters. Mrs. Percy
Large of Laramie and Miss Ida Jam
norman. and Hve brothers. Albert.

relatives who live in Rawlins.
II is indeed with sorrow that the
many friends OF the boy have re-
the sad news OF his death and
the whole community offers It's sin
cere sympathy to the family and rela-
tives OF William Zimmerman.

WOOL PRICES
SOARING WITH
ACC OFFERED

During the past week woods have
been contracted in the West at prices
ranging from one to two cents per
pound over the peak prices paid
earlier in the month. 1t is reported
that one clip sold at Granger and
another at Cokeville at as cents net,
no deductions except those custom
airy for sacks, Irvine, etc. Buyers are
advancing $1.00 per fleece with out
interest. 1t is also reported that in
their anxiety to secure clips in Mon
tana dealers are Offering advances up
to W dollars per fleece. without any
interest charges.
While these prices are apparently
high, yet. western woods sold In Bos-
ton during the past fortnight will net
the holders as much money as sim
liar woods Of the clip of 1925 are
now being contracted for in the
States of Montana and Wyoming.
within the last ten days Wyoming
~three-eighths wool has been sold as
high as 55c in Boston, and other
grades are being sold at proportion
ately hisa figures, so that prevailing
prices in eastern wool centers are
on a parity with prices recently paid
to growers at home.
With wool, sheep. and lambs
bringing present prices it seems that
the future for n of Wyoming's main
Industries Is exceptionally bright.
A recent issue OF the Helena In
dependent stated that n meeting was
held In Helena on last Wednesday,
which was largely attended not only
by woolgrowers of Montana but by
representatives of the principal bank
ing institutions OF that state. At
this meeting the National Wool Ex-
change was organized. 1t Is proposed
that this new wool selling agency.
which will be owned and controlled
by western woolgrowing interests.
will replace the National Wool Ware
house and Storage Company. whose
affairs will be liQuidated within a
few months. Many OF the officers
and employees of the old company
will be connected with the new con-
Germ. and Messrs. Matt Staff and Ira
T. Wight, officers OF the old Nation
al" will meet with Carbon County
growers on next Tuesday to discuss
plans OF the proposed ley company.
The meeting is called for ten o'clock
n. m. In Community Room OF the
First National Bank. An woolgrow-
ers are urged to attend.
Profiting by mistakes OF the old
organization made during the past
few years. especially in the matter
of o~ver-advances made on wool con-
signments during the spring and early
summer months OF 1920. and bene-
nttlng by associations formed In the
Wool Trade during existence OF the
old company. with experienced men ut
the helm In the future. the new com
pany is launched with n solid founda-
ton.

directors of the Rawlins Chamber Of
Commerce Mr.. Bonnewell appeared
before the board and made applica-
ton for the position in person. The

much impressed with the qualifica-
tons and the appearance of Mr.. Bon

ALL WATCH TAYLOR
Baylor Freshman Athlete in Eye OF
Sporting World.

Waco. Tex. April 22.-Coach
Frank Il. Bridges of Baylor Univer-
sity has been requested by Major
Griffith. commissioner of the big
Ten athletic conference and etlitor
of the Athletic Journal, to write an
article on the cart of discus throw
ing" using action and posed pic
lures of Jack Taylor, sensational
Baylor freshman star to illustrate
the article.
Perhaps no college discus thrower
in the country has attracted as much
attention during the last six months
as has Taylor. the Cameron, Tex.
high school star, who entered Bay
lor last September. Because of a
conference ruling. prohibiting fresh
men from participating in college
athletic contests. Coach Bridges has
been obliged to turn down a,luring Of
fers for this FRESHMAN sensation to
attend the Drake Relays at Des
Moines. Iowa, and the Penn Relays
at Philadelphia. Both institutions
were especially anxious to have lay
lor participate in the big relay meets,
but Bridges declined the invitation.
Taylor's participation in the meets
would have counted as one year OF
college competition.
Meanwhile. the giant Milan coun-
" lad is working out on Carroll
Field here each afternoon, preparing
