Season Of Aspiration.

o springtime, the season Of aspira.
ton! with what delight In life thou
fllest the heart! On one side, the
spiritual world Is attracting us. and
we feel assured that only in it's closest
bond of union can our true happiness
be found. On the other hand, Nature
with her t~housandfold witcheries calls
back our hearts and our enses to her
own eternal life. II Is hard that
neither the internal nor the external
can fully satisfy our desires, and that
the souls in which the two are united
are SO few. A life purely spiritual
cannot satisfy us; there Is something
In US that has a longing for reality.
As the thoughts of the artist a find

an external representation. 30 the OBJ

Alberta wool growers are looking for
25 cent wool this year. That is the
assertion made by a prominent sheep
man of the Grassy Lake district. 1t
Ia quite within the pale Of possibility
that we will receive that figure from
our wool this summer" said he. a
I would not DO surprised to see some
get more than that.
The war has caused a great demand
to be made on the wooden mills. and
they have got to have the raw mate

The present season has been most
propitious for the growing Of wool, and

Lincoln. "A total of 4.762 wards OF
the state are now being cared for at
the fifteen state institutions under
charge OF the state board of control,
as compared to 4,31S wards in No
vember, 1913. The figures are com
piled from a recent report of the
board. The number, in both in
stances, includes the children listed
with the dependent home. The latter
institution was not actually In the
boards control list at the time the
first report was made. but since has
become a part of its list.
Despite this increase of approx.
mately IL per cent in the inmate
numbers, the board will run the In.
situations on less money during the
coming two years Than was required
during the two years just past. The
feat Is a real financial triumph for
the board, inasmuch as It's word gov
erned the legislature exclusively
