WOOL NEEDN'T BEG
Says MATT STAFF
OF COOPERATIYES
Montana Expert Warns Grow.
ers They Have Making Of
Market by Sitting Tight

From prices paid for wool in wy
oming and Idaho 1t would appear
that the coming Montana clip will
not need to 60 begging" said Matt
Staff, president; National Wool Ex-
change, Inc, Of Boston. who has just
arrived in Montana after covering
Wyoming and other states in the in
tcrcst Of his company, says tho Hell
cna, Montana, Independent.
In the Union Pacific districts of
Wyoming" Mi. Staff continued.
prices advanced In two weeks from
% cents to $685. cents, while in the
Basin 80 cents was paid. AS the Mon
tana clips generally bring three cents
more than wool from these sections,
the ruling price in this state should
be quite satisfactory even though the
past winter was a costly period for
many growers. OF course. the grow
crs themselves will make the market,
and If they show inclination to accept
whatever prices are offered. the ad-
vance v wyoming prices mem
toned may not take place."
Regarding the statistical position of
wool, MI. Staff had this to say: 1T
Is estimated that the slightly greater
carry-over from last year and the
small gains in imports and domestic
production will aggregate around 20
million pounds. Against this in
creased supply Of raw wool, as COM
pared with last year at this time,
there was consumed in this country
during the first four months of 1929
fully Is million pounds more than
during the same months Of last year.
This, considcredJi connection with
the fact that untitled orders on the
books Of WOODEN and worsted manu-
facturers are at this moment greater
than at any corresponding period in
many years, should tend to instill
confidence among growers and their
bankers in the value Of wool. Fur
thermore, prices have declined to q
point where domestic wool is selling
at from five to seven cents below
comparable foreign wool, a condition
for which the growers of the south
west are wholly responsible.
The officials of tho National Wool
Growers association, headed by Mr..
Hagenbarth, are confident that more
adequate protection for wool will be
provided In the tariff bill now under
consideration in congress, and as all
foreign markets continue firm and
legitimate business is very prosperous
and assured Of ample credit there
does not seem to be any cause for
worry. ever though the practice Of
contracting prior to shearing has been
temporarily suspended. The only
danger" said Mr.. Staff. lis that the
growers may become panicky and is-
more the favorable factors affecting
their industry. The lluch hcral6ed
cry that women do not wear clothes
made Of wool does not disprovc the
important fact that each years pro-
duction has gone into consumption.
There Is no accumulation anywhere
in the world"

can be no question in anyone's mind
as to the superiority of the mixed
method of treatment in the results
obtained for the money expended"
The highway commission already
has authorized the purchase of ma
chinery with which to properly lay
the new oiled gravel roads and it is
expected to get one or more projects
completed this year.
Might Mean Big Saving
Any road constructed under the new
system will be given frequent and
careful inspection and exact records
will be kept to show the manner in
which it bears up under the traffic,
the cost of maintaining such roads
and other data which will be neccs-
sary to develop a permanent policy.
If the oiled roads will act as a fair
substitute for paved roads. the say
ing to the state will be tremendous.
Myhre said. In many places heavily
graveled roads are costing huge sums
to maintain. Wind blows the gravel
away. frequent %regravcling is neces-
sary and labor costs to keep the roads
smooth arc high. AS against this sit
uation. paving costs $50. 900 a mile. At
S per cent interest this is 81, 500 a year
If bonds arc issued.
On this basis, Myhre points out.
bituminous treatment could be applied
every two years If necessary at a cost
Of $4,000 per mile and the state still
would be money ahead. He estimates
that the oiled roads would last five
years under the average traffic now
encountered on state highways.

PLIABLE SURFACE
Will Not Crack Like Tar Top;
Smoothest Road Results;
Is Qustless and Cheap

Report as to the place selected for a
trial Of the Idaho system OF oiling
roads will be made to the state high
way commission in the near future
by department engineers.
An effort is being made to select
q place where conditions to be met
are approximately the same as those
encountered in Idaho. in order to
give the road oiling plan a fair trial
In this state. If it Is successful 1t Is
probable that it will supplant all other
kinds Of road Oiling and may post
pone the necessity for paving heavily
travelled roads for many years.
The system which two highway
commissioners and two engineers IN
vestigated on a recent trip to Idaho.
Is relatively simple.
A proper base Of gravel or crushed
stone. firmly packed, Is necessary as a
foundation. Upon this is laid a four
inch coating of additional gravel
which is then sprayed with oil. Grad
ing machinery is used to toss the
gravel first to one side Of the road
and then to the other SO that every
particle of the gravel is thoroughly
coated with the oil. Three applica-
lions Of the oil and 20 or more turn
ings with the grader are necessary.
Says It's Best Road
When the coating mixture finally is
ready it is spread over the highway
and vehicles passing over 1t pack 1t
down. The result. as experienced in
Idaho by the investigating party. is
the smoothest highway they ever en-
countered. They described it as dust
less and easier to drive and ride over
than pavement.
The highway department already
has experimental with tar s%urfacing
systems. but the results have not
been wholly satisfactory. In a report
to the highway commission, compar-
ing the experiments already tried and
the Idaho system. G. A. Myhre. as
sistan. chief engineer. said the fall
ure of some previous experiments may
have been due to failure to properly
prepar and drain the subgrade Of the
highway and to a lack Of road metal
or gravel on the wearing surface.
Some of the tar projects already
constructed. however. have developed
'.potholes" and other defects and
when this situation occurs they have
been difficult to repair. according to
Myhrc's statement. Also. mainte-
nance costs have been relatively
high.
Dakota Tarrins Grows Brittle
The Idaho system costs only $50 a
mile for maintenance and in cases
where repair is necessary the oiled
gravel can be torn up. additional
gravel and oil added and the entire
mass relaid without great difficulty.
In the tar penetration" method here
tofore used in North Dakota. the sur
facing material has often become very
brittle after use. and. II torn up for
repair, cannot easily be relaid. since
1t loses its Elasticity.
The cost of the Idaho treatment is
81. $50 a mile, without gravel, that fig
ure covering only the cost Of oil and
labor The tar penetration method
heretofore used is $1.4OO a mile. &C

The engine gave q throaty purr and

At breakfast, half an hour later. Lucy
had little to say. Shadows encirclcd
her eyes and my heart ached for her.
We had got to the toast and coffee
stage when the telephone rang. It
was Sunday, Mrs. Motifs day off,
and Lucy answered the call. Mrs
Moffit had got our breakfast ready
and gone to her Cosmic Indulgence
circle, which meets every Sunday
morning at eight. We didn't expect
her back until evening.
Somebody wants to speak to Cap
tain Deacon" Lucy announced from
the door Of my den.
"He's not here. Why didn't you"
I stopped. Her eyes were fixed on me
piteously. Whats the matter,
child?"

whispered. Il didn't-tell him. I
thought it might be- thought somc-

"Nonsense!" I cried, but my old
heart thumped a bit. Deacon must
be dropping in here. Wait, I'll speak
to him."
A sense Of disaster weighed upon
me as I took up the instrument.
Hello"

manded crisply. I have been told
that my voice ove the wire resembles
Deacon's. Before I could make my
identity known the voice ran on:
"Some'dy just phoned In they seen

DRY DRIVE PLANNED
IN STATE SCHOOLS
AS AID TO HOOVER
MINNEAPOLIS Woman to Lecture
to Teachers Attending
Summer Normals

The slogan Cooperate with Hoover
will be the rallying cry In q renewed
campaign to obtain observance of the
prohibition law which. will be
launched In North Dakota schools this
year.
The movement will really get un-
der way when the state normal schools
open their summer sessions late this
month.
Mrs. Bessie Lathe scovell, Of Min
neapolis, will visit each Of the normal
schools In turn and will lecture on
scientific temperance. The lecture
will be an exposition of the facts Of
prohibition and its advantages. At
each school Mrs. scovell will spend a
day In the classrooms, giving the
teachers Of the state instruction Of the
proper manner Of presenting the case
for prohibition to the children who
will be under their care next year.
The idea, as expressed by Miss
Bertha Palmer, superintendent Of
public instruction, Is to enlist the
teachers Of the state as active SOL
diers In the fight for temperance and
better observance of the prohibition
law, as distinguished from enforce
ment Of the law.
Teaching temperance in the schools
already Is commanded by the state
law. The statute provides that leach
teacher in the common schools shall
teach pupils IS they are sufficiently
advanced to pursue the same, the fol-
lowing hranches-physiology and ny.
eiene, giving special and thorough in
struction concerning the nature Of al
cotolic drinks and narcotics and
their effect upon the human sys-
tem."

ment Of public instruction last De-

CHAPTER Is
ON JERRY'S TRAIL

There was nothing else to be done,
and so we followed Deacon from the
Ogden home. / put the car in the
garage and MacNair am into the
house with me. Mrs. Moffit had got
a fire cracking in the den and he
put his back to the blaze while I sat
down at the desk and began to pencil
in the little red notebook. MacNair
watched me. his ironic look tempered
by amusement.
"Clcws?" he inquired when I had
done.
I'm a way" I admitted. Il thought
I might be able to supplement your
conclusions with one or two Of my
own"
GOOD idea! Two heads are better
than one. Well, I must be off,"
mo. indeed!" I exclaimed, standing
up. You must have dinner with
U.s."
He laughed. "You tempt me. I
have an indifferent cook"
Mine is the best In San Felipe.
You will stay7"
Thanks. I will"
The meal wasn't especially lively,
although both Mrs. Moffit and Lucy
did their best. and I must admit Mac
Nair was interesting in his cold
blooded way. But his twisted outlook
and his ironical philosophy Of life
took from VI intercourse that spon.
taneity which always graces my table.
I suppose the trapping Of ones fellow
beings d~iscourages the social in
stinct. He and I had q pleasant hour
in my den. though. and I found him
able to tell me q good many things
about small firearms.
When he had gone, Lucy came in.
Dropping on q stool at my feet, she
leaned her dark head against my
knees. My fingers were soon strok.
ing her sleek black hair. A common
sadness Of spirit suffused US and
neither of is spoke for a little while.
There's no word?" Lucy whispered
presently.
None" I said, huskily, and she
pressed her head hard against my
knee.
When she looked up I tried to avoid
her eyes, but there must have been
some magnetic quality In the look she
turned on me for I felt my eyes drawn
down to hers. Her expression tore
my heart and I had to blow my nose
violently before I felt equal to re-
counting what had ~trarspired during
the day.
You still believe in him. Uncle
John?"
my dear child! OF course / be-
lievc in him.
"And-you don't think-anything-
dreadful could have happened to
him?"
sensed the terror leaping in. her
breast, but I kept my voice steady.
Certainly not! He'll turn up In a
day or two"
She nestled softly against me then.
In her tender moments Lucy was in
e~xpressibly dear to mi.
] must admit I am getting on for
the sort Of thing that began at
breakfast the next morning. Moth
Ing like 1t had come my way in 10
years or more and it surprises me
that l carried on to the end as well
as I did. Probably my pride in the
audacious thing Lucy was to do. re.
kindled the fires Of my vanished
youth, for I have the timid mans ad.
miration Of daring. How intensely
vivid = womAn's love for q man may
become! The miracle Of it leaves me
a little breathless even now.
The horn Of MacNair's car sounded
In front Of the house and I hurried
out in my slippers.
Il am going to Los Angeles" he an
nounced CURLY.
Have you got word Of something's"
I asked eagerly.
