EASTERN MARKETS
in NEED OF WOOL
WOOL EXPERT BELIEVES SITUATION
IN WOOL MARKET ENC0URAG.
ING FOR GROWERS.

Domestic wool is in an exception
ally strong position due to almost
absolute scarcity in eastern markets,
states Mr.. Frank Sullivan. general
sales manager Of the National Wool
Warehouse and Storage company.
In connection with Carbon coun-
ty woods Mr.. Sullivan claims that
in the twenty years he has
visited RawIins. has he seen woods
in such light condition. In view of
this fact, added to the scarcity due
to the tremendous wool consumption
now in evidence Mr.. Sullivan urges
Carbon County Sheepmen to demand
real value tor the clip.
In support OF Mr.. Sullivan's views
as to the value OF domestic wool,
Mr.. William NJ. Wood. president OF
the American Wooden Company. in
an interview given to the eastern
press. stated that In his judgment
the high peak Of wool values would
not be reached until sometime II
1924. He also stated that the pres
emit level OF wool values was brough'
about largely through the pooling o.
woods by growers and the marketing
Of same through their agency.
It Is said that the National Woo
Warehouse and Storage Company II

ing agency for the wool growers o.

The painters message is spoken in
paint, truly enough. But paint Is a
highly specialized medium, the spe-
cific quality Of which is not readily
comprehended by most people Words,
if anything, are popularity understood.
To write about paintings properly is
as far as possible to translate them
from a more difficult to less difficult
medium. Since the justification Of
every art is its ability to say things
which no other can, no translation
can ever be complete; but enough Of
the message of painting can be indi-
Gated by words to arouse curiosity, to
sharpen perception, to convey delight.

applied to solving it for others.
Twenty-Five years ago bank clerks
were not elevated to official positions.
Usually a successful man in some line
of endeavor, who had accumulated
sufficient, purchased that little clos
ing glory, bank presidency, to wind
up his career.
The bank clerk had to start as mes
senger with a very insufficient salary
and was usually employed at twelve
or fifteen years of age. He learned
something about the practical working
of the bank but very little about gen
eral theory The president knew some
thing about the theory of business but
mighty little about banking. Conse-
quently banks did not arrive at the
degree Of efficiency they have obtain
ed In the last few years through meet
ing the greater requirements Of the
nations commercial life.
There came time when few am
bilious men hoped to bridge the gap
from clerkship to official position.
They first organized clubs to study in
their own banks the theory and prac-
tice Of banking Then those who had
a larger vision began to invite clerks
from other banks to sit in the study
clubs. Soon the study club became
community club.
Twenty-one years ago, three hun
dred OF these men met in Cleveland.
At that time there were just three
chairs Of commerce and banking in
the universities of the United States.
These men did not know where to
turn for instructors. Bank officers fire.
Quently volunteered to help them.
Those three hundred have grown into
a study club of $4,000 men and women
today. 1t is now called the American
Institute of Banking The Institute is
composed of the officers of banks and
the clerks of banks The line OF de-
marcation has vanished. They are
professional associates.
What has been accomplished in
banking-this linking together OF the
interests Of all those who are getting
their livelihood from the same bust
ness-will some day solve the problem
between capital and labor That is the
only way we can hope to do it. People
deriving their income from one bust
ness must have a common purpose, not
an antagonistic purpose As they come
to be professional brethren in the
business. their troubles will be solved.

MEANS FOR MITIGATING
BUSINESS UPS AND DOWNS

In the future as in the past,
business is likely to have its ups
and downs. 1t is possible, however.
that the violence Of the fluctuations
may be somewhat mitigated. A
sound monetary and banking sys.
tenn will help. Thrift among the
masses will help-a spirit Of saving
in times OF prosperity against times
of adversely, instead OF stretching
credit to the breaking point In
times OF prosperity with nothing
left but debts to face the period
Of unemployment that is to follow.
Finally, when depression comes,
concerted action among business
men and by government agencies
to keep the masses employed and
hence improve their purchasing
power will be helpful. ANY ad-
justment which will afford means
to buy to all who want to buy, and
are willing TO furnish a fair equiv.

EXPLAINS DIVIDENDS
Date Set So Stock Cut in Melon
Will Participate in Cash
Disbursement.

NEW YORK. March l6.-Directors
of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company, who yesterday voted
to capitalize 100000 of the COM
pany's accumulated surplus of $s2,-
000.s27 by distribution on May 10 of
a 6212 per cent stock dividend, also
declared a cash semi annual dividend
of 2h per cent, payable August 10,
this date being fixed so that the new
stock may participate in the dividend.
THE board anticipates" Henry
Walters. chairman Of the board, said
after the meeting. that If the net
results of operation continue as
favorable as in 1922 the rate of
dividends can soon be increased"
He called attention also to the fact
that while the semi-annual cash
dividend was fixed at the rate of 5
per cent year. that present stock
holders actually will receive in 1923
an amount equal to SA per cent on
the old stock because the stock to be
distributed May 10 will also par
ticipate in the cash dividend declared
yesterday.
The stock dividend will be distribut-
ed pro rata to stockholders of record
at pm. April 16. Yesterdays action
increased the company's capital stock
to $117. 100000
