iost of them sided with another
an who said the only meaning
: a knew for “cobbler" was "clum
. y workman."
Dictionary definitions of the
word include both shoe mender
nd clumsy workman.

Wants Stabilized
iWood Pulp Prices
GUELPH, Ont. </P) — A single
world-wide price for wood pulp,
negotiated along lines of the inter
national wheat agreement, would
help put Swedish producers back
into the world market. And it

it w'ould raise their prices.
This view was expressed Mon
day by E. von Keland, a member
of the Swedish parliament who is
here as a delegate to the confer
ence of the international federa
tion of agriculture producers.
He says North American pro
ducers sell their w'ood pulp so
cheaply that Sweden cannot com
pete.
