Alberta wool growers are looking for

assertion made by a prominent sheep
man Of the Grassy Lake district. ut
IS quite within the pale of possibility
that we will receive that figure from

I would not be surprised to see some
get more than that
The war has caused 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
the growers expect to reap a big har-
vest of a splendid quality. The winter
has been very even, and the sheep are
doing well on the ranges.
No special breed of sheep is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do well. The advice of those
Interested in the welfare of the farm,
ers of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do so to enter upon the
raising of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry on a scale commensu-
rate with their means, and their farm
area.
The climate is perfectly adapted to
the raising of sheep, they are easily
kept, and as pointed out, there is good
money to be made out Of the1n.-Ad.

WHY U. S. is NEUTRAL.
And What Its Part Is to Be Told by
President Wilson.

New York. April 81 President VII
son yesterday gave definite and cleal
statement Of the neutrality which is
guiding his administration during the
war in Europe. He chose the occasion
OF the annual luncheon Of the Associ-
ated Press for what he said he regarded
las statement Of 2rayest Importance
TO the American people The influence
| of the newspaper in moulding public
opinion, Mr.. Wilson said. prompted him
| to make clear his ideas OF true neutrali-
| ty and ia doing SO to impress upon his
hearers the Importance OF adhoring
strictly to truthfuIness and honesty in
the dissemination Of the news.
Mr.. Wilson seemed to weigh indipid
uaIly each word he uttered The inn
portancc he attached to his statement
was reflected in request that no at
tempt be made TO paraphrase his speech
or to give it publicity until the official
Nhitc House stcnographer had trans
crbed it in full.
As the only great nation net engaged
in the war or suffering under the inn
mediate influence of the war zone. Mr..
Wilson declared, that a great distinction
awaited the United States when the
hour Of readjustment should come pro-
vided this nation should prove TO the
world its SELF control and self mastery
The past had been difficult, he pointed
out, but the future would be more diff
cult
America. the president said never
would attempt to sit in Judgment upon
another nation. No nation was fit to
do that. he added. But America, free
from hampering ambitions as world
power, free of lust for territory. calm,
cool and without self interest must be
appealed TO to assist in the reconstruct |
ing processes Of peace.
The neutrality Of the United States. /
Mr.. Wilson said, had higher basis
than a petty desire TO keep out of trou-
Bile.

SOUGHT DEATH BY RAZOR.
Wilbur c. Collins Of st. Adams May
Survive Neck Wound.

st, Adams, April 2l.--Wilbur C. Col
Inns attempted suicide at the barn at his
home on Lower Weldon street YESTERDAY >
by cutting his throat with razor. He
was taken to the hospital, where he is
in serious, but not hopeless condi-
tion.
Mr.. Collins is 81 years old and has
been in excellent health except for trou-
Bile with his eyesigbt, which has been
failing about six years, since he was in
jured by falling and striking on his
head
Recently Mr.. Collins had been very
despondent and had spoken of his desire
to end his life. Last Monday after a
talk with his son, John c. Collins, he
went to bed apparently more cheerful
than usual.
Yesterday morning he went to the
barn after breakfast and few moments
later when his wife went to the back
door she saw him sitting on a box lean
ing over the blood flowing from his
throat. She asked him if he were hurt
and he replied that he had cut his throat.
Although Mrs. Collins was greatly ex-
cited she soon rrgained her composure
to enable her to go to the
barn with Mrs. a. j. Hance, a neighbor,
who had gone to the house when she
heard Mrs. Collins outcry, when she dis
covered her husbands condition.
DR.. Arthur Motion, who was attend
ng patient near by. was summoned. as
gas DIR. W. b. Arnold, and Mr.. Collins
vas removed to the hospital.

ing 10 starve the members of the clerks
union TO submission and endeayoring to
disrupt our organization by many devi-
Gus methods. Among these methods is
taking advantage OF few weaklings %
further their cause. and offering these
few" their festhered proposition of pay
ing any fines and insuring their Jobs
Another method of theirs is, going to the
clerks homes. taking them as indlvid.
uals and trying to intimidate them by
telling them that "they will lose their
Jobs IL they don't go back at once"
win the people Of Barre and vicinity
stand for this kind OF "czarism'l
The merchants association claimed
that they have tried eXhsustively 20 set
tie this trouble. They offered the clerks
this same old bill in March aud have not
offered any more since then. Does this
show any exhaustive efforts? The clerks
offered 10 settle by arbitration when 9th
cr methods had failed. hut the merchants
would not agree TO that.
The clerks wish to state to the public
that they are fighting an honest and
straightforward fight for the right and
that they and their committee have tried
hard to settle, also that we do not wish
the public to be inconvenienccd in their
shopping. but by your fair and honest
support We hope 10 settle these deplor-

City Council Takes Under
Consideration Proposal for
Changing Water Rates

William J. Clapp OF Washington street.
a former assistant judge of Washington
county court, was named as overseer of
the poor at the regular meeting of the.
city council last night, after the alder.
men, using the authority vested in them
TO hll vacancies in the city government
after April Is, had nominated three 9th
er candidates, each of whom failed of
confirmation. The confirmation of Mr..
Glapp to succeed w. f. Shepard, who has
held the office for several years. came at
the close OF busy session, in the course
OF which most everything from shoes and
ships to sealing wax and cabbages and
kings We're discussed.
The name of W. +. Shepard, placed in
nomination by Alderman Cook and Sec
onded by Alderman Bruce. was rejected
by vote of five to two, the mavor us
ing his prerogative to vote on all can
didates proposed by the aldermen. Al
derman keast nominated Michael ID,
heefe, who was seconded by Alderman
Rossl. On the vote it developed that
Mr. keefe lacked confirmation bv a four
to three arrangement of the digits. AL
derman Cook then nominated George l..
Morris and the nomination was seconded
by Alderman Bruce. Mr. Morris received
SIX negative votes and one favorable to
his election
Alderman Shurtleff's nomination of Mr..
Clapp was seconded by Alderman Bruce
and on the count the nominee was con-
firmed by vote of five to two. His
election fills the last of the city offices
and follows several unsuccessful at
tempts to confirm an overseer of Barre's
poor department. George II. Hoyt. who
was appointed last week, notified the al
dermen yesterday that he had decided
not to serve.
