sued statement reviewing conditions he
found them in Europe, part of which reads:
After shipments of wool from Australasia to
Great Britain during the current year to the ex
traordinary amount of nearly 100000 bales, the
amount remaining in Australia on Sept will ap-
proximate 100000 bales, to which must be ad-
ded the new clip of over 100000 bales. At the
time, the clips South Africa and South
America will come upon the MARKET and it must
not be forgotten that they will face stocks in
Great Britain which have arrived much faster
than they could be used up even handled in
the warehouses. Enormous quantities have pas
sed into private hands because the government
has been distributing wool both at auction and by
allotment.
This gentleman says further that since the
wool production and consumption approx
mately in the balance before the war, it seems
to him to follow that the present increased pro-
taken place during the war should be equal to all
present needs. Transportation facilities that
will provide proper distribution are needed, but
the wool is there
All this is more or less interesting to the cas-
ual consumer who can do nothing but await the
processes of trade and trade balances that may
eventually have some effect on prices. Incident
ally, too, as he passes from the perusal of whole
sale market lore, which is not supposed to concern
him, he may entertain passing wonder if in
vestigation might not uncover an abundant world
supply of leather that would lower the price of
shoes.

Plenty of Wool in Stock

The present price level is attributable to many
causes, some of them, however, inexplcabe to
many of US. The Indianapolis Star presents the
appended discussion of the wool situation:
All wooden goods are high priced and wooden
clothing costly in proportion or even out of pro-
portion When the purchaser complains and is
told that "it is the war;, he has more to say,
but silently wonders how long this painful result
of the war will last.
He is told that there is shortage of wool and
he believes it unless he chances to reflect that
the worlds supply of wool does not come from
countries greatly affected by the war. Or he be-
lieves it until his eye happens to fall upon mar
ket report which relates that the supply of wool
now available is ample for all the requirements
to be met.
The president of the Textile Alliance, just re-
turned from Europe, is quoted expressing sur
prise that the wool men here should believe they
are facing an acute shortage of wool and has is

The Clean Up Campaign

Some improvement is noted in the removal of
paper and rubbish from the alleys and streets,
but the practice Of cleaning our premises is not
general enough to make the city spotless.
Civic pride should prompt general partici-
patton in the spirit of the ordinance, drawn to
beautify the city by preventing the disposal of
paper on the streets. Let every individual take
active interest in the campaign and the victory
will be won soon.
The example of one or two persons in every
city block who keep the streets and alleys free
from an accumulation of material is contagious

Two Good BUYS

Two good investments have just been an
announced by the treasury department through
the Indiana war savings committee. One of them
is the new $500 treasury savings certificate, and
the other is the new 81 900 treasury savings
tificate The government has tried to arrange a
security combining the advantages of the war
savings stamps and the Liberty bonds, and judy
ing from advance notices, it seems to have sue
ceeded.
The new security has as it's most popular
feature the fact that the buyer virtually receives
his interest in advance. He pays for the $100
certificate only $3.50, and for the $1,000 certi-
ficate, only 1886. It is as if he handed in $500
or $1,000 and received S16.40 or $164 in change.
He keeps the certificate until January, 1924,
when he receives his full 500 or 81 900 in pay
ment.
In the second place, the buyer of these cert-
ficates can always get his money if he has to
have it. There is possibility Of the certificates
falling So or SO below par. On the other hand,
the buyer can always get the full amount paid in
plus 3 per cent increase from month to month.
In the third place, the certificate pays per
cent compounded quarterly In the fourth place,
the buyer has SIS, 500 and $1,000 sizes to choose
from, being able to fit his savings into the
ty best suited for him. The arguments in favor
of these new securities are so many that State
Director Springsteen, of the Indiana war savings
committee, seems to be correct when he states
that the new certificates are more attractive than
Liberty bonds.
The treasury department is offering these
certificates and the war savings stamps on
their merits investments, in the hope of cult
waiting permanently the savings habit acquired
by the American people during the war. It is re-
lying heavily their sale in it's future financing
problem. The cost of the war has not yet been
met, and the government needs money to finish
the job.
1t is to be hoped that the people Of this COM
munity will be attracted by the investment fea-
lures and that their sense of patriotism will per-
suade them to buy many as they can Of the
new securities. There ought to be number of
people in this city able to purchase several of the
500 and 81 900 certificates.

OF judgment on my lady, she who
had been so cold so many years to
every mark of his tenderness; but to
me 1t was monstrous, and l was en-
holdened, much as I loved him, to say
SO; but my saying SO only served to
send my lord sick to bed and to earn
for me from my lady the word that l
was no better than an old maid
This brings me to that morning in
April, 1854, that The Master returned
to us again, this time with an old In
dian servant. With his return my
lord and lady. l urging them on, took
ship for New York, where my lady had
property through her father. This
voyage. so thought, will at one stroke
rid them Of The Master and weave
them closer together.
Twenty days it took The Master to
learn where they had gone; whereupon
he also sailed for New York, and on
the same ship, praying that she would

looked forward with woe to the day
he should set foot in New York; but
our ship was slow sailer, and other
ships which sailed later arrived be-
fore us, so it happened that my lord
had word Of The Masters coming
and prepared for him. There was
suspicion Of more than one murder, it
seems, to The Masters hand during
the earlier stay he made in America,
and so now he found it better bust
ness to leave New York and hunt in
the wilderness for that treasure which
he had buried so many years before.
al he
had done seemed borne in a flood
moody and took to drink There has
been talk that he connived with the
crew which The Master had hired for
his expedition into the wilderness,
bribing the leaders to make away with
his brother. There is no evidence of
that, but it is true that The Masters
Indian servant to save his life, as he
said, did bury him alive, with the
intent to resurrect and restore him
later by the agency Of some secret
Oriental trick.
My lord and a party, I being of it,
followed The Master, and it was when
the East Indian was lifting his body
from the grave that we came upon
them. I thought for a moment that
the eyelids fluttered. Others say that
the lips strive to speak, that his teeth
showed through his beard, which may
have been, as 1 was busy elsewhere
for at the first disclosure of the dead
mans eyes. my lord had fallen to the
ground. When l raised him he was a
corpse.
I buried him there; my lady laid ar

they died, side by side, they lie to this
