ATION FOR VIRGINIA SHEEP
OWNERS IN A HARD PINCH.

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.

You Will Have Just As MuchJ
Money But There Will j
Be Less of It.
Washington, Oct. 3. 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."

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

I got it in exchange for two black

Just Like That.

THE ANCESTRAL ALBUM
All the folks, I reckon, that admires
the works of art.
Knows the one collection that is
nearest to their heart . . .
Paintin's by the masters, sech as
Rembrant or Millay
Fetch a power o' money from the na
bobs, so they say
But, in my humble jedgement, there's
nothin' better shown
Than my old family album that our
Grandma used to own . . . '
It's in the simplest bindiri' with a
bit of filagree,
That gives a faint artistic hint of
what you're goin' to see . . .
The clasp is easy opened, simple
latch of blue-and-gold,
Hintin' stronger of the treasures that
its faded pages hold . .
There's faces there, ' that brings a
mist before a feller's eyes,
When we visit in the album, that our
Grandma used to prize . . .
I love to search it frequent, and I
reckon always will
To find true art exemplified, which
more than fills the bill;
I reckon you have got one, I would
n't be surprised
For, this here art collection can't be
monopolized' . . .
From patriarch to baby that can
barely set alone
They're all here, in the album, that
our Grandma used to own.

adage, indicating
that our cash has
human traits.
If it is so, we may have learned
the reason for the straying htibit
of many dollars from this com
munity they've succumbed to
the courtesy and friendliness of
our neighbors, the big city mer
chants and mail order houses.
The city merchants and mail order folks are prov
ing every day that It Is profitable to invite OUR DOL
LARS over. They do it through advertising.
But the merchants of this community can over
come that they can establish a more lasting friend
ship with the communitv's moncv in fact, make
regular STAY-AT-HOME DOLLARS everv qne,
FIRST By INVITING the DOLLARS within shon
ping distance of this center to TRADE IN THIS COM
M UNITY.
SECOND By renewing that invitation through ad
vertising, week after week, month after month, year
after year. That's the way the city merchants and
mail order folks do It.
THIRD The invitation is to tell the dollnrs about
the worth-while things that are in your store for them.
FOURTH When the dollars come, remember they
will only come back again when well treated.
And there is nothing more Invigorating to
the activities of any community than pepful . ,
