OFFICIAL COUNTY AND OITY FROCEERDINGS - ALL WOOL AND A YARD WIDE. The American Woolen company has in both com- mon and preferred stock $6,000,000. In 1919 the net profits after payment of all taxes and. setting aside a reserve Sor contingencies, were $15,513,415. We are told by a sheep specialist of one of the eastern universities that a man ‘who weighs 175 pounds requires three and one-half yards of cloth to make a suit, the weight of the clothing being from ten to eighteen ounces per yard. The average medium weight wool suit is made of goods weigh- ing fourteen ounces per yard. At three and one- - half yards per suit the cloth in the entire suit weighs forty-nine ounces, or' a little more thap three pounds. In the manufacture of all wool cloth it requires one and three-fourths pounds of scoured wool to produce a pound of cloth. Therefore, considering waste in magufacturing, for an average suit of clothes. Most of the Indiana \ seoured wool is selling in Boston from $1.25 to $1.44 per pound. This wool scours around 50 per cent of grease and dirt. At $1.14 per scoured pound this makes wool worth 9 cents per ounce. As sixty-two ounces are required» for the entire suit, then the cost of wool in the suit is $5.58. If the suit is made of the very best grade of wool, which is selling at about $1.90 per scoured pound, then the wool in the suit will be worth $7.317. It will be seen from this analysis that the Amer- jcan Woolen company, which dominates the woolen markets, has a very much more substantial share of the profit than the farmers or the woolen mill workers.

As the committee on arrangements got down to its task today of select- ing a-temporary chairman who would not be objectionable to a majority of the committee, only one thing ap- peared to have any certainty about it and that was that women delegates to the convention would get front row . geats with their state delegations. In addition to the meetings.of the arrangement committee, there will be a meeting today of the executive committee of the national commit- tee to discuss national organization in preparation for the fall presiden- tial campaign. ‘Will H.

D S HOW CAN IT BE OTHERWISE? Many of the larger cities are showing much dis- ut.ishccion with the returns of the census. What can they expect when it is a crime to have a family? If a man with a family wants to rent an apart- ment, house -or flat, what kind of time does he have hunting a place to hang his hat? How do these cities expect to increase their population without children? If poodle dogs were included in the census there undoubtedly would be a very sat- isfactory increase every ten years. g A young newspaper reporter to a New York daily picked up what he considered to be a big story. Hurrying to the telegraph office he ‘“‘queried” the telegraph editor: “Column story on a big scoop, shall I send it?” The reply was very brief: “Send six hundred words,” was all it said. - “Can’t be told in less than 1200,” he wired back. He soon received a reply to his last wire: “The story of creation of the earth was told in 600, try it.” i s SUPRISING ITEM. We have all been weeping over the sad fate of the brewery workers, who were to be put out of business by prohibition, but here comes a telegram from Reading, Pa: : “Annournicement was made today by the biewery workers’ union that all breweries have iricreased wages five dollars a week and reduced the working day one hour. The union wanted a ten-dollar raise. Bottlers were advanced eight dollars a week.” O S Bemidji should be the best city for baseball in Northern Minnesota. It is centrally located and has a class of people that enjoys good clean athletic sport. Consequently there is evidently no reason why Bemidji should not be represented by a strong team this season. ’ PSSy TSR 1} Carranza need not worry—he has a legitimate claim upon a place in history.
