officially no action was taken, the

that is why Director Derickson will

Only One Wood for SpooIs

In almost the entire world, with it's
great variety of wood to select from.
there is only one kind that is used for
spools-the ordinary spoOls on which
sewing thread is wound writes Charles
N. Lurie in st. Nicholas. By far the
greatest part Of the worlds spools are
turned from the wood of the white
birch tree. 1t grows in many sections
of the United States, but especially
well in Maine. Virtually the whole
worlds supply comes from the great
north woods. Some of the spOOls are
made in Maine, but a very large part
of the wood is shipped elsewhere for
spool-making, after being seasoned
where it grows.

Begging the Question

Begging the question is assuming a
proposition which. in reality, involves
the conclusion. Thus, to say that
parallel lines will never meet because
they are parallel, is simply to assume
as a fact the very thing that you pro
fess to prove. A "circle" in logic is a
vicious form of argument in which the
conclusion is assumed to prove the
premise, and then the premise to prove
the conclusion.

Inquiries for copper showed i'm

Tin was a shade easier for prompt
delivery positions, but future ship

limit buying to requirements as a
result of the probability of a fair in
