number OF letters written by Schmidt
in connection with the wool accumu-
latinC plan. One of these, according TO
Mr.. Becker introduced Eugene Sch
weidt, Jr, employed by Charles f.
Webb Philadelphia wool importer
to German manufacturers interested in
South America
The junior Schwerdt was in the Bel
gian aviation service at the age Of IL
during the first months of the war
With this record, it was easy for him
to assume proally sentiments, mas
much as he also represented an Amer
lean manufacturer in the wool bust
ness While working for Mr.. Webb, the
Younger Schwerdt was actually en-
gagged in the German scheme of round
ing up wool stocks, according to Mr..
Becker, an agent for Schmidt and the
branch of the Deutsche Bank in this
city.
Says Two carsoes Got Thru.
Two cargoes, valued together at
several hundred thousand dollars, act
ually did get thru to Germany early IN
the war, said Mr.. Becker.
The war lasted longer than Schwerdt
Schmidt, and their associates expected
and the British drew its blockade COR
don tightly along the German and
neutral European coasts. Confronted
by the probability that further ship
ments would be intercepted, the
scheme developed into the one 'ot
boarding wool until after the war, it Is
charged.
Mr.. Becker said that wool estimated
TO be worth s2,0o00OO or 100000 &C
tually was stored in America for this
purpose. Then came a wool shortage
prices went up and the German inter-
ests decided to sell because of the pro-
fits possible. These profits reached
Germans in Germany as the wool had
been purchased to their account

Raise Better Horses

Large numbers of under sirable,
mediocre horses are being turned
onto the market at present i'm all
parts of the country in order TO-
save feed, according TO reports to
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. AS a consequence the
market lis glutted with common
place animals of this description
to the extent that the prices paid
are unusually low. The depart
ment urges farmers to raise horses
of better breeding and quality.
The supply of desirable-quality
heavy draft horses or animals
suitable for ARTILLERY or cavalry
purposes is below the demand,
while the prices of such animals
are correspondingly high. In view
of both the domestic and foreign
demand during and after TIE war
for quality hc4oses, farmers should
begin ncw to stock up their barns
with horsefesh of the desirable
type. Under existing conditions

Sawmills Doing Their Bit

Every board you cut is peice

that adorns the bulletin board at q
Maine saiwmill conducted by the
Emergency Spruce Corporation.
This mill is supplying lumber for
important construction jobs for
the War Department, and has de-
livered already considerably more
than 100000 feet of lumber,
either as form units or as supports
for assembling them.
In one day alone the midi fab
ricated $1,000 square feet of lum-
Der, and an additional $4,000 feet

the standardizing of work by men
and the mechanical equipment, as
we'll as scientific placing of the
machinery to make possible maxi
mum production with n:i!l;rlum eff

large measure for the fine show

that made life comfortable and
happy for him deserted him there
when he kissed his family good

In this war the home follows the

story of these seven great CO.

his front door to far-away France,
and see how these seven organiza-
