Value of Canadian Wool
Crop Is On the Increase;
Estimated More $600,000
(By Associated Press)
< WINNIPEG, Man., Mar. 11.—Sheep
men of Canada clipped a wool crop
of 15.111,719 pounds in 1924, accord
ing to a report by the Dominion de
partment of agriculture. Value of
the wool was $3,777,930, compared
with $3,160,000 the year before, an
^ increase of more than $600,000.
Greater demand for Canadian wool
in world markets, the report declar
ed, raised the price realized by the
producer from 20 cents a pound in
1923 to 25 cents in 1924. Great Brit
aiu and the United States were the
principal purchasers.
“Systematic grading of wool and
classification according to quality
under government regulations have
done much to build up the wool in
dustry,” said the report. “Coopera
tive marketing has helped to make
sheep raising popular by increasing
profits to individual growers.”

“Let’s Go to California”
EVERY DAY some tired, prosperous or otherwise
travel-inclined man says to his wife, “Let’s go to
California.” And such is the power of advertising
that, although neither of them may ever have been
there before, they know just how to go, approxi
mately what it will cost and where they want to stay.
The same with anything you may need or want.
You already know about, by whom it is made, what
it costs, and where it is for sale. Advertising is a
modern form of an intelligence department. It keeps
you informed, advises you of new things, suggests
new uses for articles you already own, and prepares
you today for wise and useful purchases tomorrow.
It does all this for you, almost unconsciously, dur
ing the half-hour or so you spend each day with your
newspaper. Little by little—the best and surest
way to learn—advertising makes you informed of
what is going on in the world that is useful to you.

Competition Seen As Sign
of Rate War On Atlantic
;
(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, Mar. 11.—The Irish
Times points out that 30 years ago
3,000 emigrants sailed each week
from Queenstown to America. Two
shipping lines were then able to han
dle the traffic. Now less than a
fourth of that emigrant traffic sur
vives, yet five lines are in competi
tion for it.
The latest competitor is the Unit
ed American Line, which has estab
lished an office in Queenstown. Di
rectors of the North German Lloyd
Company recently visited Queens
town and interviewed the port au
thorities as to the provision for fa- j
cilities in the event of the company j
deciding to include Queenstown in
its trans-Atlantic service.
It costs $1,000 for a ship to call
at Queenstown, and it is stated that
sometimes the companies have found
it cheaper to carry passengers on to
Liverpool and pay their expenses
back to Ireland.
A Queenstown resident is quoted
in the Irish Times as saying that
“the present evidence of competition
for what is a mere shadow of the
former traffic points to the proba
bility of another rate war.”
Swiss Writer Warns
Against German Aims
(By Associated Press)
GENEVA, Mar. 11.—All Switzer
land is talking about letters written
to Swiss newspapers concerning Ger
many’s military position by Prof.
Paul Seippel of the Federal Poly
technic College of Zurich. Prof. Seip
pel depicts a present day Germany,
imperialistic in nature, and insists
that within a very brief period Ger
many will be able to place in the
field a large and menacing army.
His letters constitute a sequence
to the recent report made by Gen
eral Morgan of England concerning
German military preparations.
The professor sets forth that the
German universities, both professors
and students, are seized with impe
rialism, and that among the German
people this doctrine is rapidly mak
ing progress. "I do not believe in
an immediate war,” he continues,
“but I am convinced that there is de
veloping a situation which will per
mit the German imperialists to cast
off their masks and show all their
arrogance and all their ambitions.
They have not changed an iota after
a defeat which they have steadily
refused to recognize.”
