May Become Officers.

Captain Harold R. Wilbur, of the
Lambertville Home Guards, and
himself proficient in military train
ing and instruction, announces a
special proposition for drafted men
who expect to have to respond to
the call. Each Thursday evening,
or oftener, if conditions will permit.
he will undertake to drill them in
such work as will fit them to qualify
for non-commissioned officers when
they are actually called to arms.
Captain Wilbur says that it is likely
that more than 100000 such officers
will be needed in the army, and
men specially drilled for the month
or two prior to going to the train
ing camps will be better fitted for
such openings. 1t is expected that
a number of local young men will
avail themselves of this opportunity.

schemes. 1t is very probable that
this extension of their business Will

to such women as may want to pur-
sue this occupation in spare time IN
their own homes.

WAR AND WOOL.

From what is regarded as an anthem
tic source are CLEANED the following
paragraphs relative to the effect OF the
war on wool and woolen.goods, which
is something of great concern to the
people of this country, especially Of
the northern sections
The all controlling influence of war
continues.
The inevitable has, of course, hap
pened. The attempt to subtract three
from two in the wool supply of the
world has brought its answer in minus
one
The wool clip of 1916 sold for go to
65e per secured pound, but the fleece
on the sheep now running around in
the snow of our wool growing states,
has been sold to dealers under con-
tract for delivery next June on the
secured basis of $l.0O per pound or
more.
The United States uses 600, 600, 600
pounds of wool per annum. The clip of
the United States has decreased in five
years from 325, 900 600 to 28S, 600. 900
pounds, The clips Of Australia, Ar
gentine and New Zealand have de-
creased, the clip of all the countries at
war has almost disappeared; twenty
million men at war use five to ten
times as much wool as usual. and can't
exist without it. And there is no sub
stitute.
If the war continues for even one
more year. it will not be question of
price, but of wool at any price. and
there is always the possibility of this
country being forced to actual prepar
edness, which would necessitate taking
for the army such wool as is now in
the mills for their general trade.
England has an embargo on wool
from home and all her colonies. We
are dependent on South America for
more than half our supply, and must
bid against the necessities of war for
every pound we get

II was wonderful, however, how
Vera adapted herself to circumstances.

She became a veritable expert house

All her former friyolity and pettish-

LEGAL PIRATES.

Chief Justice J B. Winslow of the
Wisconsin court wrote a scathing de-
nunciation of the lawyer who flies
the black flag of piracy in an opinion
handed down in the supreme court last
week.
1t was case where one lawyer So
licited damage cases and then turned
them over to another firm for trial.
The lawyer who drummed up the busi-
ness did not get the commission he eX-
pected and suit followed The SUI
preme court finally had to decide the
case.
In the decision Justice Winslow says !;
"The mere intermeddler, the officious
strrer up of litigation in which he has
no interest save the possibility of a
commission or a fee. has been con
demned by the courts and Legislators
since the earliest times This is so be-
cause the practice of law is not a
trade but ministry. Attorneys are
entitled to good pay. for their work is
hard, but they are not entitled to fly
the black flag Of piracy, Such con-
tracts as are here in question tend to
make the lawyer forget his high duty
as minister of Justice and to convert
him into a mere money grubber in the
muck heaps of the world. They also
tend to make the name of lawyer
proverb and byword among laymen. f"

REASON FOR HIGH COST OF LIVING

The portion of their income that is

them Whether the cost Of food be
high or low, the difference TO them is
not important. They may growl q lit
tie at the end of the month at an in
creased provision bill, but neither
themselves nor their families are in any
way disturbed by the price. They are
never Obliged to lessen the amount or
quality Of the food because Of its high
price. Hence their Indifference in the
matter
Those men who initiate economic re-
form and exert influence on legislation
and on business generally, devote their
energies to enterprises that affect their

income. Some of them sympathize in
