Pudding Stones
BY GIBSON NORTH

Wool, like cotton and wheat, is high
er. The rise is almost spectacular,
in the face of a decidedly decreasing
demand in this country proved by the
statements of the great wooden manu-
facturers now appearing. The Ar
lington mills sold S24,0O0,00 worth
of woolens in 1923 and $15,000O00 in
1924. The largest factor, the Ameri-
can Woolen Company omitted the
usual dividend and did not use but As
per cent of their machinery in 1924.
Another proof of the increase in wool
values is the demand for clippings"
the scraps that drop from the cutting
tables, sold one year ago for one-third
of what they bring now. This indi-
Gates that much of the wooden cloth
offered in 1925 will be mixed with re-
claimed wool known in that elder day
as "shoddy." The good word for
"shoddy" is that it is an enemy of
high prices for virgin wool If there
was no shoddy to be used in quanti-
ties large and small in fabrics prices
for pure wool fabrics would be almost
prohibitive to the plain citizen.
1t appears that the only expense to
reduce within the power of the people
at large is taxes. When political clubs
send requests in to our county officers
protesting increased expenditures
there is CLEAN of hope. The issue is
less taxation, which is sure to result
in more comfort for the people
