Wool Warehouse Proposal Aimed at West Wool Trade
Cheyenne Wyoming June 3 Special George Walker secretary of the Wyoming Wool growers association and longtime National Wool growers secretary outlines J H Bearrup plan to establish a Wool warehouse and woolen mill in Denver with Western mill support.

The move seeks to keep wool value in the West and lower freight and cloth costs for consumers.

Modern Girls Reed Mothers Of Olden Days
Chicago June 4 More mothers of the old fashioned type who would not permit their young daughters to wear freakish clothes are a great need Miss Mary Bartelme soon to take up new duties as assistant to the judge of the juvenile court. She says the old fashioned mother is one who holds firm counsel with her daughters and exercises supervision over their dress and associations. A generation of flippant over dressed girls stems from weak mothers. Certain fashions are inappropriate for young girls and modesty should be valued. The practice of allowing girls of 16 to 18 to attend parties late at night is objectionable, especially with unchaperoned escort.
