Published to any address, for, in sdvance, $1.50 ABOUT THE POOLING OF WOOL Growers of sheep in Beltrami county are much interested at this time in & plan suggested by A. W. Aamodt, farm bureau manager, which will causé the pooling of all wool sheared this summer that a bétter pricé may be secured by its sale. For the purpose of definitely deciding whether the pooling plan will be followed, and a “Sales Day” held, a meeting is to be held at the court house Friday. y An exceptionally interesting article concerning the ques- tion now confronting the wool growers is printed in “The Farm Journal,” and refers to a community in eastern Nebraska. The{ article says: . “Every spring a wo 1 buyer came into their community about corn-planting time same price. Some fleeces } d bought each man’s wool for the re better than others—enough bet- [ ter to bring higher prices. $ome of the farmers who considered selling the fleece all at the'same price an injustice organized to pool their clip and sell it &8 one big clip. “All the wool was bronght to one place where the buyers could bid on it. The wooliwas graded and the wool of each grade was sold separately} the best fleeces brought the best prices. The buyers paid mpre because there was more compe-| tition, and because they di@not have to travel over the country to buy the wool a little at alti Meetings were held to show the growers how to tie an@handle the fleeces. Two men who were hired by the people in'the community did all the shearing on the farms where the wga was produced. . “It was not long untik other neighborhoods in Nebraska tried the same thing. They pooled their wool and found that -it paid. And if it paid last year when Uncle Sam bought all wool for the same price, it surely will pay better when there is 1] H 4 RS R e P AL o BB bidding on the wool. “Essex county of Virginia pooled 20,000 pounds of wool last year valued at 70c a pound. More than 45 farmers in Marion county, Mo., pooled: their wool last year and sold to a local man for $6,710.16. Three counties in Idaho pooled 230, 000 pounds of wool and sold it as one clip last year. The cost of handling the wool was ,003 a pound; that is, 1,000 pounds were handled at 3 cents. “The wool market is gradually righting itself. The manu- facturers want to buy the wool just as cheaply as possible dur- ing this reformation period of the market, and they will do it if the wool growers do not stick together. If you do not have a wool marketing association, form one in your community, pool your wool and pull together for bigger profits.” | —0. It is evident that great:injustice is being done Fred Schil- plin, postmaster at St. Cloud, who has been removed, no reason being assigned. His friends believe the punishment is in conse-| quence of Schilplin’s having been indicted with other directors of the Pan Motor company. 'But he has not been convicted, and there is reason to believe that he will not be, and . the postal department is making another of its already too num- erous mistakes in ousting him. Schilplin is one of St. Cloud’s i most prominent citizens, and in the recent Victory loan drive i he put Stearns county over the top, a truly wonderful accom- i plishment.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom- bustible material in the form of ashes. so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of imdigestible ma- terial, which it not completely elim. inated from the system each day, be- comes food for the millions of bac- teria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left-over waste, toxins and ptoimain-like poizons are formed and sucked into the blood. Men and women who can’t get feel- ing right must begin to take inside baths. Before eatng breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with 8 teaspoonful of lime. stone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day’s accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimen- tary canal clean, pure and fresh. Those who are subject to-sick head- ache, colds, biliousness, comstipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breathe, backache, rheumatic stiffness, or have & sour, gassy stom- ach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug stcre, and begin prac- ticing internal eanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufiicient to méake anyone an enthusiast on the subject. Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores' do not absorb poor health, while the bowel pores do.
