WASHINGTON, Jan, 9.--Ratification
OF the peace treaty, with or without res
eTVatons, and no government ownership

q an address by Senator Pomerene, OF
OHIO, at the Jackson day dinner.

Replying to Republican charges Of
extravaganza in the war he said
War itself is extravaganza. Let them
remember that in the war and navy de-
partments commissions were appointed

Most Of their membership consisted of
men Of the highest order Of ability and
integrity, and II they committed blum

most of them were Republican bust
ness men, And II the government paid
too much, someone got too much. And
most OF the great Industries which were
engaged In furnishing the military sup
plies were owned and manned by Re-
publicans."

every citizen may intelligently exercise
the duties of citizenship and give to his

Wool Market Uncertain

From various reports it appears that
there is large carry.over of low grade
wool from lsst years clip due to the
manufacturer preferring the finer
grades. With such a carry. over, there
is the impression that this years clip
will open on a lower basis and that the
demand will not be As active as it was
last year.
C. E. B.ebm, Marketing Specialist,
Division of Extension, University of
Tennessee, states that such condition
adds difficulty of having successful
cooperative wool sale at a country
point, as competition will no doubt be
limited to the local buyers in the coun-
ty, While this condition may not pre-
vail at the time this years clipis ready
to market, it is probable that 1t will,
according to MIR. Brehm, and he is of
the opinion that it will be best not to
attempt to hold GALES where there is
less than 5000 pounds at one shipping
point.
