NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE
EXPORTS OF WOOL MORE
THAN OFFSET IMPORTS
CHICAGO WAREHOUSE CLAIMS
HIGH PRICES SHOULD PRE-
VAIL FOR CLIPS.

With the wool season just opening
in eastern oregon and with buyers
depressing prices as much as possi-
bic. some statements contained in a
letter Of April 10 from the National
Wool Warehouse & Storage Co. Of
! Chicago are Of interest. II is admit
ted that foreign purchases this year
have amounted to 5000, 900 pounds
whereas the foreign purchases last
year amounted to but 10000, 600
pounds. However. upon this subject
the warehouse company says:
"An increase Of 100000 pounds
need cause growers no alarm as our
domestic wool clip this year will de-
crease much more than this amount.
In addition, we have shipped out Of
the country very much more wool
either raw or in the manufactured
state, than the increase in our i'm
portations. II will be remembered
that this Is entirely new business, as
the United States was not, previous
TO this year, an exporter of either raw
or manufactured wool excepting in
very limited way.
London purchases are coming for
ward in limited way but because the
sools from Australia and South AM
erica which were bought many
months ago, are being received more
or less freely, this is being magnified
and used to depress values Of domes-
tic woods. Ut is estimated that so
per cent of these will not be on the
market as they are going to mills.)
Aside from London there is no place
where additional supplies can be OBJ
tanned for maay months to come ex-
cepting the wool grown in our own
country The South American and
the Australian markets are about
closed and the next sale, which is
scheduled to begin in London, April
goth, will offer only about s0000,00o
pounds Of wool Of which some consid-
erable portion is crossbred and can
not be purchased for this country.
History shows that all large wara
have forced the price of wool up to
very high levels and that prices re-
mained high for long period after
the termination of the war The
highest price for wool was after the
close Of the civil war. After the
Franco Prussian War of 1870 wool
prices remained at high levels for a
long period and there is every reason
to believe that 1t will be many years
before world wool prices will drop
to low levels"

SMOKING STUDENTS
WORRY TEACHERS

The cigaret habit among students.
especially in the high school, is the
worst evil with which the schoc!
teachers have to contend, according
to N. c. Shaeffer. of Pennsylvania,
who lectured on vocational schools
this morning before the teachers in
stitute at Chautauqua. The brewery
problem has been solved. he said, but
the cigaret habit is still a factor
which must be eliminated from the
school life.
There will be something lacking in
the school curriculum. said Mr.. Shaef-
fer. even after vocational school sys.

MARK SYSTEM
PROVES UNFAIR
TO STUDENTS
Principal Pickell Before In
stitute Corrects Impression
Given Regarding High
School Secret Societies.

The necessity Of developing some
means through which the student
real worth and progress in his school
studies can be ascertained in substitu.
ton for the present arrangement OF
teachers marks, was pointed out by
Principal F. @. Pickell this morning in
an address on THE Distribution Of
Teachers Marks before the Wayne
County Teachers Institute being held
at Chautauqua.
He said some definite and effective
scale must be devised to learn the
quality Of the work and extend to the
moral character of the student. Marks
in the grading Of papers had evidently
proven Inaccurate in determining the
exact rating OF the pupils, he said, as
tests made showed that teachers made
a wide variation In the grading of the
same paper.
Grades Show Variety.
Mr.. Pickell gave illustrations of
tests in which a students composition
was distributed to teachers in differ
ent cities. In one city, the grading
on the same paper showed variation
OF seventy per cent and in the other
city, another wide range. He pointed
out in substance that the present ar
rangement was working an injustice
upon the pupil.
In opening his remarks this morn
ing, Mr. Pickell said that he had been
misunderstood in his refer ance to fra
ternities and sororities yesterday and
that the impression created that he
meant Richmond fraternities was not
the fact.
Il was quoting statement from
william G. Lewis wheE said that "by
confession knew that fraternities
we're used FOR gambling, drinking and
for immoral purposes" explained Mr..
Pickell
II receive no confessions from Rich
mond students. And also II they have
signed their names to statements and
claimed that they were not members
OF these organizations when in fact
they were, / do not known Of the fact.
! was talking generally and the state
Ia probably the same all over in re-
gard to the fraternities and sorori-
ties"

vided recently by the board Of public

Secretary Haas Of the Commercial

are confident that after the lamps

DON'T BLAME WAR
FOR WET WEATHER

At least one thing cannot be blamed
on the European war and that is the
weather .
This defense OF the war was made
by w. E. Moore, weather forecaster,
whose accurate predictions in The
Palladium have attracted considerable
comment.
Mr.. Moore scorned the popular i'm
preston which has been gaining
credence that heavy cannonading In
the war zone caused the rains. He
gave two reasons why this is not SO.
He said clouds shifted constantly
and that rains here could not be
caused by the effect of explosives on
those CLUBS when over European bat
tlefields. Clouds which are here to-
day were not over the scene of the
conflict last night or yeste DAY, even
though the world does revolve.
In Virginia and some of the western
states, Mr.. Moore said, crops were
suffering because of lack of rain. If
the war were the cause Of the unusual
atmospheric conditions, he declared,
the rains would be general over the
entire country.

WASHINGTON. - Although the
weather reports throughout the Unit
ed States show an abnormal rainfall
in many instances the increase be-
ing more than 800 per cent--auto-
mobile touring has increased. over
any previous year, for all sections of
the country. The east continues to
show the lions share of cars from
other sections, with New England
maintaining its position in having
cars displaying the license plates of
nearly every state in the union.
Transcontinental touring also con-
tinues to grow in the number Of cars
en- route. The various highway asso-
Citations looking after the different
routes have not let the weather dis
courage them and are continually at
work repairing any damage to the
roads caused by the rains.
On some of them a patrol system
is maintained and weekly bulletins
isued showing conditions from point
to point even where these conditions
are not favorable.
These transcontinentalists are wide

equipment in the schools of this
county during the past year.
One county institute is held each
year. As county Institutes are gen.
orally considered tiresome and a sort
OF grind by most teachers. an effort
has been made by Supt. Young TO
make the institute inspirational as
well as instructive The institute
lasts three days and all teachers are
required TO attend When it comes
during the school term, the teacher
is not required to make the time lost
while her school was closed but draws
her regular salary for period not TO
exceed three days.
The law provides that a county su.
perintendent may hold a school
board convention each year. such
a convention is held In Umatilla
county each year, and has proved to
be of great benefit both to the
school superintendent and to school
Officers. 1t gives an opportunity for
directors and clerks to become better
acquainted with each other and to
discuss many questions of vital inter.
est to their schools
The school board in district No.
ss, nine miles south of Pendleton, on
Mckay creek. has erected a modern
three room cottage for the teacher.
This is the first OF its kind in the
county, but will likely be followed byI
many more. The plan is very popu-
lar in Washington and many of the
eastern states. and will be more pop
ular here, especially If teachers con.
tinue to be unable to find suitable
boarding places. Unless the best
homes will open their doors to the
teacher, the building of the school
cottage will be an absolute necessity. |
