In the genera estlmate OF character :,
says writer in the Cincinnati CONNER
caal, the fact that man is popular,
goes more than half way to establish
the conclusion that he is not good,
honest, reliable man. He is so popu-
lar" being phrase that covers q mul-
titude of faults and weaknesses, and in
the minds Of many settles the question
of worth. Jones heard a cynical man
inquire Of another concerning third
party with whom be was meditating a
business transaction. HE is safe,
perfectly safe," was the declaration, and
$50 popular that I will not trust him"
Certainly in this case his judgment
proved correct. Popular are generally
timber; they bend here and yield there :;
they want backbone

1t seems as though the organization
Of Wool Growers Associations would be
Of importance to the western wo oil
grower. II quotations of reliable pa.
pers are correct we can't see why there
should be such difference between the
Chicago market and the markets of
Boston, New York, and Toledo. Wool
growers must contrive some way Of more
direct business relations with manufac-
turers. and head off these brokers and
middlemen that are ransacking the
country about shearing time. Chicago
men and money nonopolize the Western
wool trade, both to the detriment of the
growers and the manufacturers. Chi
cago quotations are from 40 to 43 cents
per pound, with the cry Of depression
in the market, while eastern market re-
ports show continual firmness, with quo
tations ranging from SO to 65 cents.
This will be good problem for solution
through the Oranges the coming winter,
and We hope to see arrangements made
for the coming season that will bring
the producer Of this article and the
manufacturer together. We are satis-
fed that arrangements can be made
through our County Council system by
which wool can be disposed of in bulk
directly to the manufacturer. Let's put
our heads together and see if we can t
retain apart Of this margin that's be-
ing stolen from us this year, by the time
our next growth is ready for the mark
