Consider specifically wool. In 1914
this country imported upward OF 2j0
100000 pounds OF WOOL The value was

AS late as 1916 our own production OF
wool, some 2ii,000000 pounds, had an
average value In August OF some %

some 327OOO,0O0 pounds Of wool. Its
value was some 30 cents a pound. In
the same year our own wool crop was
some 2iJ,0O0OO0 pounds. It's average
price IN August Of last year was 5is

At present the United States Gov

MIR. GLASS FOR THE TREASURY.
From the New York sun

From the New YORK sun
Mr.. Carter Glass, President Wilson's 8
new Secretary Of the Treasury, has dis
tinct qualifications for the post. For
a good part Of his 20 years in Congress
his work and experience have been
along lines that singularly nc him for
his new duties. In particular his very
fine service in the Federal Reserve leg
lslatlOn, as head Of the House Banking
Committee, tested not only his financial
soundness and ability but his political
courage, for-he- successfully fought off
some OF the most persistent and pernic-
ious financial superstitiOns and here
sies with which his party had been long
afflicted.
II there is doubt as 70 the wisdom
of this choice II might be because re-
Gently Mr.. Glass's health has been
frail. At any stage there is no post
In the government that eXacts more Of
a mans time, labor and physical stam-
ina than the Treasury. With all the
readiustments ahead Of the nation the
Treasury must still put upon the
shoulders Of Mr.. Glass heavy burden,
as 10 did upon the shoulders Of the
severely overworked Secretary Nc

stocks OF wOolen clothes in this cOun-

bare. Manufacturers are ready to begin
