The effect of the Dingley \tariff on wool, i been to reduce the qualities and jused, thereby making clothing less durable. This state of affairs has resulted from the cumbersome provisions of the Dingley Bill by which different grades of wool receive the most un- equal protection, and by which com- pensatory duties that are highly ex- cessive are allowed on woolen cloths. A certain duty, for instance, is levied }on a pound of raw wool, The manu- | facturer allowed this duty plus an ex- |tra duty for his own protection, The }compensatory duty is based on the |assumption that it takes four pounds of raw wool to. make a pound of cloth, while in fact not more than two | pounds are needed in the finer grades jof cloth. Asa result of this system of compound rates the duties run all \the way from 100 to 200 per cent. Moreover, wool has become so ex- pensive that under the Dingley Law, the manufacturers say, there has been a deteriorating of fully 33 1-3 percent in weight. It is pointed out further that com- | binations of manufacturers have been built up under the shelter of the tariff. That the advances in the United States are not due entirely to the increase in the price of the raw | material is shown by the fact that in | England the advance has been much jless. The clothing men continue: “These advanced prices on worst- eds which have been announced, fol- lowing the steady deterioration of fabrics in weight and quality, result- ing from the operations of the Ding- jley Bill, will add to the retail price ‘approximately $2.50 on a $10 suit o! clothes, $¥on a $15 suit and $5 on a $20 suit, or from 20 per cent to 25 per cent to the cost of the clothing to the wearer thereof. The aggregate bur- den of the increased cost of men’s and boys’ clothing to the American people under the present advance alone will be 120 million dollars for the year 1910, which is twice the val- ue of the annual domestic wool clip. These increased prices are attribut- ed to the change ih the basis of valua- tion by which rates will be raised materially. The clothiers end by asking for a reduction of the duty on raw wool to 45 per cent and 65 per cent on woolen clothes. No such relief will be granted, however, for the Senate already has voted down amendments proposed by Senator La- Folllette to effect the desired result. He Had ’Em Classified. Aman who traveled through the mountains of East Tennessee relates the following incident of the journey: He saw:.a man plowing with four oxen and'tcould hear him calling to them: “Haw there you Methodist! Go ‘long ‘there you Baptist! Gee there you Campbellite! Get up there you Presbyterian!”’4He inquired of the farmer what possessed him to give his$cattle such names, and the replyi{was: (“Well now, that there Methodist is as good a steer as ever was hitched, but every little while he has to!jump up and bellow. That Baptistjwill do any amount of work in a day, but when he comes toa hole of water he’s just got to lay down intit. That Campbellite is a real goodiwork critter, but he is the all-firedest contrary one of the whole bunch, and I suppose there never was amore honest animal than that Presbyterian, but he is so badly stuck on himself that none of the rest of them won’t have anything to do with him.” Their busi-} annually. | The new Tariff Bill will merely re-' uation that are expected to boost rates , the statement says, ; |diminish the weight of the goods, » this put together did the business and \T.

The Graphic, Los Angeles, Cal., gives the following notice of “Sump” Zombro, well remembered as a boy by Butler's older citizens: “S. FL Zombro has been unani- y chosen as the successor of the late George Mason as president | of the Central National Bank. His | election took place at the last meet- ing of the directorate of that institu- tion and his advancement will be of great interest to his colleagues and! friends. Mr. Zombro_ is throughout the state as an experienc: ; ed and practical banking man. He has been vice-president of the Cen- tral Nattonal since it was organized a 1907, through the merging of the State Bank and Trust Company and the Central Bank. Prior to that he | had acted as cashier of the former of these two institutions. Mr. Zombro came to Los Angeles from San Ber- nardino and has been in the banking | business for two decades.” H The Financier of Los Angeles pub- lishes a page picture of Mr. Zombro. He went to California with his moth- er about thirty years ago, when quite a young man and has made good in ;* the bundless west, as so many of Butler's boys and girls have done. Easy Money For a Lamar Man. Lamar Democrat, One of Lamar's enterprising citi- zens took ina nice chunk of change Saturday simply because he under- | stood human nature. Here's the way he did it. He took about fourteen ases of hop ale and put them out in a coal house, back of the square. | Hop ale retails at the soda fountains’ for five cents a bottle but our dead wise friend knew the mesmeric price that would conjure up visions of the real thing so he sold his ale at fifteen cents a bottle. In order to get to the coal sheds the thirsty ones had to sneak through three or four old build- ings and walk up an alley. All of by the middle of the afternoon our friend’s hop ale was all gone. Around upon the square the stuff was going begging, so he sauntered around, bought up what he could, took it back to the coal house and sold it for fifteen cents straight. Hop ale contains exactly the same amount of alcohol as does soda pop—but it does taste of hops. Over a million and a half acres of land in Washington, Idaho and Mon- tana are to be disposed of by Govern- ment land drawing to take place at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, beginning on the morning of August 9th. The properties include 1,200,000 acres in the Flathead reservation, 310,000 in the Coeur d’Alene and 153,000 in the Spokane reservation. The size of the tracts vary from 40 to 160 acres. The methods used at the drawing in Bonesteel, South Dakota, will be adopted. A huge tent will be erect- ed, and in it will be deposited tons of certificates, each in a sealed envelope, Children will then be turned loose at the mighty heap, and will dig the cer- tificates out of the mass. Registra- tion for the drawing will continue un- til August 5th. As would naturally be supposed, this distribution has awakened intense- interest-in-every part of the Union. Our people are land hungry. Vast as the tracts to be disposed of are, they are small compared with the quantity which has been lost to the public by fraud, speculation and greed.—National Monthly. known | © ‘other crops are marked “imp: ‘so during the encampment. military problems of attack and de- fense, and by night, under the in- struction of officers of the school at Fort Leavenworth, they will learn of the best methods of successfully per- forming the maneuvers for the next day. der Fy ly he w: gut in the Civil Late- placed on the retired list of the Missouri Naval Reserves of St. Louis.
