Although this thought is contrary to as
sertions which many have made in times

was not thoroughly convinced that the

The manner in which he put it across

themselves in increased efficiency and
closer cooperation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25. Vermont

largest farm agencies in the United
States, which has offices in New York
and other cities throughout the coun-

go Vermont farms, 214 to purchasers
outside OF Vermont. OF the 3,4l6 farms
sold by this agency in other states
only 10 purchasers were residents of
Vermont. These figures were cited in
the report to show that persons from
other states huying Vermont farms out
numbered more than IL to one the Yer
mont residents going to other states Z
take up farming. These figures, i
was stated we're typical of the pro
portions shown in reports of Other
agencies and of privately negotiated

GREAT PROFITS OFF
AUSTRALIAN WOOL
British Government Sells It at Great
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Want
Part Of Profit.

LONDON, Feb. 25.--It is estimated
by some wooden spinners that the Brit
ish government made 60,000,00o pounds
from the sales of Australian wool last
wear and thus far in 1920. Replying
TO charges that both the government
and the Yorkshire spinners had made
excessive profits, Sir Arthur Goldhnch,
chairman of the wool council of the
ministry of munitions, told q represent
alive of the Evening Standard that it
was true the government was reselllng
merino and cross bred wool from Aus
tralia and New Zealand ut price
livery much higher" than the basic
price at which it was purchased.
cit was clearly understood, he sand,
THAT when the wool was no longer
needed for military purposes II should
be sold at market rates and the domln-
ions should receive one-half of the pro-
fit. Australia and New Zealand are
clearly entitled to this.
1.-THE rise in wool is confined TO the
more expensive qualities of merino and
fine cross bred. Medium and low cross
bred woods are about the same price
as in 1916, calculated. in British cur
reney, hut calculated in United States,
Dutch and Scandinavian currency the
prices for such classes of wool are CON
siderably cheaper than they were dur
ing the war, and almost the same as
they were six years ago.
"There has been a great run on the
finer classes of wool, which are now be
ing consumed more rapidly than they
are grown, and a great rise in price
was natural and almost inevitable. =
Yorkshire spinners say that they
simply could not help making profits
"A spinner has nothing to do in these
days but sit still,'' said one, "anc
money rains in his lap. y

eaxon Minister OF Labor Asks TO
Greater Output Of Coal.

BERLIN, Feb. 24.--An appeal to
workers in all trades has been issued

ton on the part of the miners will in
crease the monthly output Of the Saxon
coal fields by 100000 tons Christian
labor unions here which comprise the
miners Organization have, agreed to
recommend an extension of daily work
ing hours provided coal be relieved of
acquisitions by the allies. The en-
