By KOBLKT Fl LLtK S ! 1 1 !A L COK K I'S il N DK N'CE Chicago. -Early this summer the situation of the wool growers of Vir ginia was bad. Their 1 0 JO clip was still unsold. The clip was still on hand, prices still far below the cost of production. The Virginia Farm Bureau Feder ation has not only solved the prob lem of these wool producers but they now ret .H) to 40 pt. cent above th. market price for wool. The credit is largely due to Mrs. L. S. Copenhaver. publicity director of the Virginia Farm Bureaus. In her old girlhood home at .Marion, Va., are many heirlooms and among them are three old coverlets that were in her mother's wedding chest, cover lets of a design that were brought from England, Holland and Sweden tw o hundred years ago and which the mountain women developed into works of art. She proposed to re vive these coverlets and at the same time consume, at a w orth while price, the Virginia sheep owners' stagnated wool. A picturesque little mill run by a small mountain stream and equipped with power looms was found. Dur- ng the war the owner of the mill had ! sO per cent above me market price. manufactured ?0.000 army blankets for the army. His looms could make the coverlets. Arrangements were made with the weaver and today Virginia Wool growers are receiving from 30 to 45 cents a pound for their wool 30 to The mill takes the wool at the rate of COCO pounds a day and is swamped with orders for coverlets. City club women are assisting in the sale of the coverlets, thus building up a closer cooperation between the city and country in the Old Dominion. . , - .. - - . Farm bureaus have solved Vir ginia wool growers' dilemma by buying their unsold wool and mak ing coverlets of wonderful old de signs. Pictures are of old mill that was brought into use; some of the designs and Mrs. Copenhaver who originated the plan. &&&&&& Tlie Auto Repair Shop wishes to announce that our work on big cars will be ONE DOLLAR per hour instead of $1.50 per hour, as you formerly paid for your car repairing.

The govern-) nient will soon radically change the j form of its paper money which has ! remained unaltered almost since the i foundation of the Republic. This ; change will be in the direction of i bills of smaller measurements, par ticularly the bills of smaller value.' Two reasons justify the change. The first is that of economy. Paper which j is now used for government bank I notes is made by a secret process and is obtainable only at high cost. At present four bills are made from one sheet of this paper. Undgr the proposed change five bills will be made from a-sheet of the same size. Another reason for the change is to reduce the danger of counterfeiting. If the bills of smaller denominations are made smaller in size while those of large denominations are left the same size as now, it will be impossi ble for the counterfeitors to raise the Si, $2, $5 and $10 bills to bills of larger denominations.

The town band had been royally entertained in a neighboring village where a concert had been given. On the train home the conductor had some trouble getting the ticket of one of the musicians. After several futile attempts to get his fingers into his vest pocket, the musician gave it up and announced: "I've losht th' dang thing." "Come, come," ejaculated the con ductor encouragingly. "You couldn't lose a thing like a railroad ticket." "Oh, I couldn't, hey?" retorted the other with indignation. "V don' know me. 1 jusht losht the bass drum, thass what 1 did." Early Fall Limericks Ihere was an old Turk in Thermop ylae Who of wives longed to have a mon opylae. Said he: "I'll just scare 'em Right into my harem If the silly things won't be won prop ylae." A clergyman told from his text How Samson was barbered and vext. He told it so true That a man in a pew Got rattled and shouted out "Next!" A maiden at college named Breeze, Weighted down by B.

Equally True "The rapidly increasing divorce r.Ue," remarked the wit, "indicates that America is indeed becoming the hind of the free."

Rookie ..Sentry: "Halt, who's there?" Voice: "Private Stock, Company C." Rookie Sentry: "Advance, Private Stock, and be sampled." Cause for Mirth. When the young mistress of the house entered the kitchen she carried herself with great dignity. She had, incredible as it might seem, come to call the cook to account. "Bridget," she said, "I must insist you have less company in the kitchen evenings. Last night I was kept awake by the uproarious laughter of one of your women friends. "Yes, mum, I know," Bridget ad mitted cheerfully, "but she couldn't help herself. 1 was telling her how you tried to make cake yesterday morning." Making Allowances. A son had arrived in the home of a West Philadelphia couple and the proud father rushed out to borrow a pair of scales, but none were avail able except some belonging to a rags bones and bottles man. So he bor rowed these and was aghast when he discovered the heir weighed only four pounds. "But you musn't worry," said the junk man consolingly, squinting at the dial. Them s my buying scales. Your boy weighs 'bout eight 'n' half mebbe eight 'n' three-quarters pounds. Shrewd Tradesman. Father: "Who gave you that tine cut on the side of your head, John?" Son: "Nobody give it to me, pop."
