BEING HELD
Sdbient Amount Now on
Hud to Last at Least
For One More Year
Dealer*, manufacturer*, and
the Government held 729.373.000
of wool, grease equiva-
ji, on September 30, 1919, ae-
eording to the Bureau of Mar-
kets, United States Department
of Agriculture. This represents
holdings in excess of those re-
ported in any quarterly period
since the reports were first issu-
ed. Stocks on September 210
' were 8 per cent greater than on
Jane 30, 1919, and 50 per cent
greater than stocks held on Sep-
tember 30, 1918.
At the present rate of con-
sumption the bureau points out
that the total stocks on Septem-
ber 30 are sufficient to last for
more than a year. The greatest
increase in holdings is shown in
one-fourth and three-eighths
blood grease, amounting to 42.-
000,000 pounds. Because of the
great demand for fine wools the
reports show a decrease in fine
and one-half blood grease
amounting to 9,000.000 pounds.
Both manufacturer* and dealers
hold more of all grades with the
exception of fine wool. A de-
crease of 22.000.000 pounds of
fine wool holdings compared to
June 30 is shown for dealers'
stocks, while manufacturers'
holdings of this grade in creased
5,000,000 pounds.
Total stocks in the hands of
dealers and manufacturers on
September 30. 1919. in pounds
according to grades were:
Grease wool, 388.564,892; scour-
ed wool. 45,626.163; pulled wool,
22,325,546; tops, 18,732,272; noils
13,006.594. Stocks held by the
Government were: 17,790,000;
pulled wool. 8,705,000; tops, 1,-
448,000; noils, 10,000.
Boston holds first place among
the markets of the country with
156,000.000 pounds of all kinds
and classes. Philadelphia ranks
second, followed closely by Chi-
DRINK TONIC AND
PATENT MEDICINE
A patent medicine sold here
under the name of '4 Beef. Iron
and Wine," when washed down
with a dash of hair tonie contain-
ing 76 percent alcohol, is capable
if producing alt the after effects
of s protracted and altogether
hilarious session with John Bar-
leycorn, according to Sheriff W.
A. Ish, who was called upon Sat-
urday night to take care of two
discoverers of the concoction.
This barber's cocktail, how-
ever. is not recommended for its
beneficent action on the human
stomach. In fact, the Sheriff is
of the opinion that it is enough
to eat the lining out of a yellow
dog.
The two drunks handled by the
sheriff Saturday night wen? des-
cribed by him as "the limberest
pair of stews" that he had ever
seen. They had to be carried
bodily into the county jail. One
of them claims to have had $35
on him when he began his pota-
tions. but he had been relieved
of it before he came into the
hands of the law.
The names of the two men
were withheld but it is said that
they live out a short distance
from Vernon and that one of
them is a man with a family and
has a good reputation among his
neighbors.—Vernon Record.

the eonrt in January.
Aa many aa six different loca-
tions have been suggested for the
new building, most of whieh are
desirable. The location will also 1

been submitted, and it ia thought

adapting the plans to local need,
they will he accepted, and con-
tract will be given for the build-

An advisory committee con-
sisting of C. 8. Bingham, A. F.
Kestermeier, W. C. Strong and
Boy W. Thompson, has been sp-
pointed to cooperate with the
commissoners in the selection of
a location, and these men and the
commissoners will be glad to hear
any suggestions that anyone has
to make.
While it will uot be known un-
til the architect's plans are final-
ly adopted just what the build-
ing will cost, it is known that it
will be in the neighborhood of
$190,000. including everything
except the furniture.
It will also be decided at the
January term just what term the
warrants will be issued for and
the rate of interest they will
bear.—Dshsrt Texan.

The Commissioners unanimous-
ly passed an order at the regular
meeting Monday for new court-
house for Dallam County. The
order complies with the statute
which provides that commission-
ers' court may build courthouses
with deferred, * interest bearing
warrants.
The order came in response to
the petition of more than 350
taxpayers, representing all parts
of the county. A petition signed
by a hundred or more taxpayers
opposing the project at this time
was presented, but the commis-
sioners accepted the verdict of
