WILL TRY TO ELIMINATE
 WOOL SPECULATION

Renewed speculation is noted in all kinds of secured wools at Boston. So marked has this become that the Con- mittee on Wool Supply has thought it advisable to appeal to the trade for pledges to abstain from buying or selling wool from or to each other during the prtsent crisis, or in other words, to eliminate all speculative trading of any nature whatever. Trade opinion is divided regarding the matter, as many dealers seem to think that they are tied up enough by existing regulation and agreements. The movement has been particularly heavy in quarter-blood and low wools, especially the South American second clip and lambs wool, and on such in secured form substantial advances have been made since the low point in August and September. Foreign ad- vices continue firm, though some im- porters report easier cablegrams from South America. According to best information available, the British gov ernment has met with only partial success in it's efforts to secure the whole of the South African clip, and American buyers are still being al- lowed to operate in the Cape markets. Arrangements are being made under the direction of 8 London wool broker for the sale at auction of 45,000 bales of Australian wool promised to the Boston wool trade some months since, and which is now nearly in sight.
 Additional contracts have been plac- ed by the War Department during the past fortnight, as evidenced by an in creased demand for wools suitable for such work. Civilian business contin- ues disappointing, mainly owing to the fact that the woolen goods trade has not yet readjusted itself to the with drawal of so many of the young men

It is with this spirit that school and college
graduates come into the community. Let no
one throw any wet blanket over their hopes and

equipment than their fathers and mothers

School and college graduates and, in

COMMENCEMENT SPIRIT.

Here is a right good article from The
Sparta Democrat. Read it:
It is common for wise and disillustrated
elders to poke fun at the spirit of school and
college commandments. How little these
graduates know of life is remarked. What big
things they are going to do, what impossible
dreams OF achievement they entertain. What
high ideals they are going to pursue, which af-
forwards they find will be impracticable.
It is most fortunate that there are those who
have courage to go ahead, risk new enterprises,
dream new dreams and try to work them out
If it were not for this spirit Of youth no wars
would be fought for justice and liberty. 1t is
the young people who push ahead and start new
enterprises.
1t is too easy for older people to get into a
critical habit of mind. Every idea that is pro-
posed has to them its weaknesses. They have
become able by experience to detect possible
ties of failure. That makes them hesitating
about attempting new things. They daily,
weigh and ponder, and as Il consequence do not
accomplish much. either for themselves or the
community.
It is blessing not to see all the possibilities
of failure. Young people don't see these ad-
verse chances, and they go ahead with some
courage They may fall down again and again,
but all the time they are learning and getting
somewhere. Finally their courage, enterprise
