PLEA FOR SCIENTIFIC FAITH.

which so far transcend my eXpe

Thus John Burroughs opens his
latest article in the Outlook And
among the things, he goes on to say,
that he finds so difficult of credence
yet so necessary to believe are the
animal origin of man, the imperson-
ality Of the force behind the universe
and the miracles wrought by the

the former fact so far transcends
our experience and even our power
of imagination that we can receive
il only by an act of scientific faith,

Manufacturers Recognize Ad-
vantage of Buying Fleeees
Packed With Care.

AS the time for tho spring sheep
clip approaches more or less is heard
about the manner in which the wool
is made ready for shipment. Com
menting on this subject. the Textile
Manufacturers Journal, published in
New York, In the issue Of January z,
takes the work Of ]. e. Cosgriff of
Salt Lake, president Of tho National
Wool Warehouse and Storage company,
as basis for IN article Of some length,
In speaking of the conditions that have
prevailed in years gone by and the i'm,
provements apparent, the Journal says;
E'The deplorable condition in which
the domestic wool clip has been mar
keted has always been notorious. From
time to time sporadic attempts have
been made by dealers and manufactur-
ers to awaken wool growers to the ne
cessity of using greater care in the
putting up OF their wool. In the ag-
gregate volumes have been written re-
gardinG the superior manner in which
Australian and South American fleeces
are prepared for market, but this has
had no apprcciable influence For a
favorable season or two they have
blacklisted some Of the worst clips, but
market conditions and the manufactur-
ers' self-interost have never allowed
SuCu cOTTeCIlNe measures TO DC con-
tinued. Two years ago tho National
Association of Wool Manufacturers in
cooperation with few of the leading
dealers sought to wipe out what is
termed the sisal twine evil-the tying
of fleeces with sisal twine, the fibers
Of which can never be completely re-
moved from the wool, and thus cause
enormous losses in specky finished
goods,
Superior Method of Handling.
"Such being the situation that has
long confronted manufacturers, it is
not strange that they heartily welcome
movement that has already awakened
large numbers of growers to the advan-
tages OF giving greater care to the
preparation Of their fleeces. We refer
TO the movement that was instituted
last year by President J. E. Cosgriff
of the National Wool Warehouse and
Storage company. The fact that Mr..
Cosgriff has already won the hearty
support of many Of the largest east
ern manufacturers is all the more note
worthy because his cooperative method
Of marketing wool originally aroused
the antagonism of most dealers and of
many manufacturers. Although there
still remains some opposition to this
company's cooperative method, there is
little but commendation to be heard of
its president s campaign TO improve the
character and handling of the clip.

manufacturers who have been inter
viewed regarding the movement iusti-

already tentative arrangements have
been made for the flotation OF the loan.
The security will take the form OF bonds.
The Hartman bankers would not con-
firm the foregoing statement when seen
yesterday: indeed. the impression Gre
ated was that no financing has yet been
put through. No claim Is made that the
loan mas been finally signed and scaled;
But that tho negotiations will be carried
to a successful conclusion Is confidently
anticipated. The amount proposed, sb0s-
100. 600, Is the snne az the Pennsylvania

One view OF the arrangements now
under way is that the money could be
utilized advnntageously should the mer-
ger suit be decided adversely to the Har-
rIrnan interests"
