l that a smaller rise in price is looked for between the time of contracting unshorn wool and the date of shear. ing and delivery.
 "The tariff is operating smoothly and has already rrcduced benefits.
 Boston quotations on territory grades of wool are largely nominal. The stocks at the market are low and imports are coming in at rapid lrate.s Only in flow grades is the American price fully equal to the value of similar imported wools, plus the tariff. These facts suggest that the 1923 prices 10 a considerable ex- tent will be determined by. the atti- iude of those growers who. sell at home and by growers agents han ding consigned wool at the markets.
 There is an unusual interest in cooperative undertakings to secure orderly marketing for wools. Most Of the last years organizations for this purpose are continued and sev- eral new localities are considering the formation of pools"
 Breeding. flocks havc been reduced to point lower than the carrying capacity of tho grazing lands, MT. Marshall said in concluding his state- ment with remarks regarding graz ing areas.

They strolled home in the dusky
twilight, hand in haud. planning
their future home. When they
reached the cottage, Arthur accepted
Tessa's invitation to stay for tea with
great alacrity. Mrs. Clayton had an
appetizing meal ready for them, and
she left Tessa to put it upon the
table, saying that she must go home
and prepare her own supper.
Tessa introduced Arthur to her
mother, who was agreeably i'm
PRESSED with the appearance of her
future son-in-law. After the supper
dishes were washed, Mrs. Ashton
drew from an envelope letter ad-
dressed to herself and handed it to
Tessa.
1T came in this afternoons mail"
she said calmly, but on either cheek
there burned little spot of excite
ment. Tessa read it in surprise and
almost disbelief. 1t was from her
Uncle Philip, and was filled with
apologies for his former neglect of
his sister, and saying that he was GO
ing to call upon her the next day.
The letter closed with love and inside
the pages was a check for a thousand
dollars for his sister, and one for the
same amount for TeSSa
At first Tessa said she would not
accept his money, but Mrs. Ashton
said softly: Daughter he is your
uncle, and he has repented of his
former harshness toward us. Let us
forget the past, and remember that
forgiveness is the best thing in the
world"

Ashton had been tenderly tucked
into led by her daughters loving
arms, Tessa and her lover stood upon
the little piazza trying to say that
word Sc hard for young lovers to say
good might.
The moon threw soft radiance
over everything, and to the young
couple. the very stiffness of the
sweet, fragrant air seemed to whis-
per a benediction to their happiness.
This is. the beginning of a new
world, dear" whispered Arthur, as
he bent his head to kiss her soft hair.
Tessa leaned her head against his
shoulder and gazed at the moon.
" While Gods in His heaven, all's
right with the world, she quoted
