WHY WOOLENS ARE HIGHER
All clothing for men women
boys and girls are being advan-
ced in price all the time' Great
Britain and her laborers are the
principal sources of the world’s
supply of this staple By placing
an embargo on the wool not only
of England but of New Zealand
and South Africa our principal
supply was cut off The wools
of America amount to about 140
million pounds clear or about
one-hall of the home requir-
inents The placing of army con-
tracts for the governments of the
allies have cut a big figure in
prices being higher The equip
meat of a soldier in active service
requires nearly 100 ounds of
wool a year whereas a civilian
will use a little more than 5
pounds There is an army al-
together of 15 million men or
'v
more and each one destroying
wool at the rate of lOOlbs peryear
It is evident that competition for
the remainder of the world’s sup
ply for ordinary uses must ad
vance the price far beyond its
normal value Last year was a
bard year for the sheep farmers
in Australia and there was a
shortage of wool from the great-
jest of all wool producing coun-
tries This was undoubtedly one
of the great factors in increasing
the price of wool This would be
a good time for our farmers to
raise some sheep for meat and
wool
BUFFET SUPPER
One of the most delightful so-
cial events the season was the
supper party given Friday even-
ing May 12 by Miss Anita Jor
dan honoring the class of 1916
The house was artistically de-
corated with red and white the
class colors and large quantities
'of cut flowers A buffet supper
1 was served in the dining room by
1 the hostess with Mrs J L Jor-
dan MrsT C Roberts and Mias
J Helen Keller assisting After
doing full justice to’the delicious
' repast card playing and music
I were enjoyed
Those delightfully entertained
jwere: Misses Daniels Hall Co-
lly Blois Felts Dsiis Graham

THE DRAGON HERE FRIDAY
“The Dragon” which is com-
ing to the Air Dome on Frida'
May the 19 as the next releaf
on the Equitable Program is
beautiful story most beautiful
portrayed Miss M&rgarit
Fischer the star sets out tl
personification of youthful inn
ince and ignorance to find tl
Dragon which her father tel
her lurks amid the enticemen'
of Fifth Avenue She seeks tl
Dragon in all sorts of places at
her search brings wreck rui
disaster and death to those wl
had so wrought upon her father
life tb&t it wan left bereft of joy
with his wife a wanderer and h1
fortune gone In the end tl
wife is restored to her husband’s
arms the machinations of those
who plotted against the youthful
searcher are upset their schemes
brought to naught and the way
in which this was shown is a re-
markable illustration of how re-
tributive justice works out its
own ends and proves mankind
cannot escape the laws of fate
GOT OUR WIRES CROSSED
In our rush last week to get
ready to depart Thursday for
Tulsa to attend the Oklahoma
State Press Association and our
mind being filled with visions of
a delightful entertainment at the
big oil city of Oklahoma Tulsa
we got some of our “doie” for
the paper terriblv warped and
two of our most highly esteemed
candidate friends - were misrep-
resented in the paper The Mon-
itor is human and is subject to
errors as all humans are but we
are ever ready and more than
willing to make any corrections
and make amends as far as pos-
sible for any mistakes or mis-
representations which appear in
the paper
Last week in writing a local in
regard to Warn Turner who
teaches school at the Hamilton
school house the local informed
our readers that Mr Turner was
a candidate for County Superin
tendent when as a matter of
fact he is a candidate for the
office of County Treasurer In
writing the announcement of
Prof EL T Bamed as a candi-
date for the office ot County Su-
perintendent the type made it
read that Mr Darned had lived
in Oklahoma 16 years and had
taught 18 terms in the rural
schools of the state when it
should have read he had lived in
Oklahoma 18 years and had
tanght 16 terms in the rural
schools of the state
Injustice to thesp gentlemen
wp make the above mentioned
corrections and trust it will be
satisfactory to all concerned
