For some weeks we have refrain
ed from sending in any stuff for
publication, as we figured that when
the pictures of all the candidates
for office were published together
with their platforms, platitudes and
promises. there wouldn't be any
room for any more foolishness. The
election now being over, maybe
some people will go to work, that
is. if they can find something to do.
When our neighbor Howard
Blackburn, who lives on the Wood
grove-Renrock border line, took
unto himself new wife, the folks
in the community deemed it abso-
lutely necessary that he be given an
old time shivaree, which they did
to the best of their ability. We
learn that our aged friend Milton
Rogers, who compromised with old
Father Time and slid past the three
score and ten mark. was among
those present and proved himself
the "Whole cheese" by showing the
young bloods how he could still trip
The light fantastic. When "old
sods' like Milton. and some others
we know, once get to living, you
just can't get 'em killed off.
If the kids" who observed Hal
lowe'en by scattering corn around
had just brought ours in poke, so
that we could have fed it to our
chickens, they would have received
a candy treat. Well, anyway, we
can eat the candy ourselves.

Meigs

Our good friend ]. F. McGregor
used to speak about the time be-
tween hay and grass. But this
time of year is most peculiar. Not
on account of the weather, the
moon, the temperature, hut all on
account of the coming use of lead
pencils. We don't know whether to
laugh or cry. sing Or weep. Say
this is a strenuous time. But it
will all be over before you read
this. and we will all be Americans.

Back in the years when you and
I were younger-before some of our
readers were born, even before your

things wise and otherwise. If we

anything like that with us, we will

According to some reports, the

If meditating upon how hot it
was last summer would bring
warmth to the human body in the
winter time, the occupants of the
parsonage have much to think
about. Notwithstanding the fact
that the pastor made strong plea

as the house is especially designed
for such, yet, through some misun-
derstanding a heater was substitut-

very satisfactory, and Rev. Yoho

open winter. They must take their

room will be used for cold storage.
The upkeep of the parsonage pre-
sents a difficult problem. We know
that Rev. Yoho is man who takes
good care of parsonage property.

THE WOOL SITUATION

The following is discussion OF the
present wool situation, largely as
given by Larry Kaufman in re-
cent letter:
The abnormally low consumption
of wool and the recession OF prices
this season can be attributed to sew
eral causes: Slowing up OF the
market in early April, and hesi-
fancy on the part of everyone con-
nected with the wool trade due to
the fear that the tariff on wool
might be lowered to obtain recipro-
cal trade agreements with other ma
tions. The wool trade and manu-
facturers alike refused to operate
with the possibility of 4 change.
Even after word came from the
president that no reduction in the
wool tariff was being considered,
the market still failed to respond.
While the amount of raw wool car
ried over into the 1884 season was
the smallest in a great many years,
it soon became apparent that the
Hills WeIt Cdil yiH5 oAti oilsoiy hS"'' ,
inventories of semi-manufactured
and finished merchandise, and such
stocks were much larger than usual.
Industrial employment had shown
decided improvement in the late
summer of 1898, but failed to hold.
Consumer purchasing power had not
! developed to the extent expected
Consequently, less clothing was
purchased. Clothing prices adyanc-
| ed rapidly, due to higher wool and

tail trade is showing more than sea-
sonal Improvement, and there seems
to be generally better tone to
business.
The government has recently
placed large orders for blankets and
other materials, which will not only
provide business for some mills, but
will require large amount of wool.
About 25O,000,0O0 pounds of wool
are under government control The
wool advisory board has refused to
lower the limits at which these gov
ernment financed woods can be
sold, and there is movement under

labor costs. Buyer resistance de-
veloped. Manufacturers turned to
substitutes. Cotton, shoddy and
rayon were mixed with wool, to
cheaper fabrics so that they could
meet competition and sell at price
that the consumer would pay This
substitution displaced very con-
siderable volume of wool. Labor
difficulties and strikes presented
perplexing problem to manufactur-
ers. and were limiting factor IN
the production of merchandise. The
walkout of textile workers resulted
in the loss of many millions of dol
lars of potential business. The
market for wool in foreign c0un-
tries declined even more drastically
than in the United States. Due to
lack of credit, Germany had almost
entirely ceased the importation or
wool. Italy has reduced her imports
by one-half, and other European
nations have greatly restricted their
purchases. Under these conditions
it is not surprising that prices at
the London sales have declined
33% since last spring.
AS a result of these conditions,
mills in this country have operated
at only from 25% to 500 capacity
for much Of this season. There have
been many weeks when the amount
of wool that changed hands in Bos-
ton has not exceeded 200, 900
mounds. In normal times the turn
over is from four to five million
pounds weekly, often more. Appar-
emily the downward trend of the
| market has been checked. 1t ap-
pears that the quietness that has
pervaded the industry for months is
about to lift There is much to lead
! us to believe that there VIII be con-
siderably more activity in the next
| few months, because inventories or
raw material, semi-finished and
| made-up merchandise at the mills,
| cannot help but be very meager, due
to curtailed buying Of wool and re-
| stricted operation.
Style trends, particularly In
/ ladies' wear favors the use OF wool.
! There is great need for new
clothes on the part of many people,
! and with the acceleration of relief
