REV. G. M. MISSIRIAN. Stanley Memorial Church, December 7, 1918. the United States Gov- is credited with having a supply of wool amounting to hundred million pounds. At the same time the Government has for its army and™favy an enormous surplus of woolen garments—clothes, underwear, shivts, socks and blankets as well. If it does not buy or make another pound of anvthing it can keep our men in the service warm and comfortable for many months. perhaps even vear: What is the Government going to do with its great store of wool? With peace at hand it cannot sell it to in- dustry and business at anything like the average price of wool either this vear or last year. Industry and busi- ness will not pay. cannot p those inflated pri for wool when they must manufacture and sell their goods in competition with manufac- turers and merchants who will buy iater at lower prices from the Ameri- cin producer and from the Ameri- can importer. Outside of the Goverpment current and reserve supplies there are no great stocks of woolen clothes in this country. Shops will soon have their shelves bare. Manufacturers are ready to begin to supply the future needs of the merchants when (hey can get wool and can manufacture it at prices that will enable the mer- chants to do business next epring and all next year. But if the Government or any other agency Tholds those prices at the top notch nobody will start anything. Get back to ordinary is the only way. The can begin by releasing are t The Vanishing Plover. (Our Dumb Animals) The upland plover, one of the mos: heneficial birds of all the winged host that once abounded in North America, has been hunted and shot to the v of extermination. With the passing ot the passenger pigeons, which even now so many friends of all birds find it hard to believe and of which a great are not convinced, the plovers were marked for wholesale destruc tion. They were candidates for ob- livion along with more than a scors of other useful and beautiful species that could be ill spared from our once vast and valuablc native farms. There is a ray of hope that birds may not be pursued to complet anmihilation, The federal law for the protection of migratory birds malkes it possible for the plover species to rehabilitate itself, provided the closed season be fixed to continue thronghout the vear.

And yet we are clearly conscious that, in compari- son with the practice of other coun- tries, the policy commonly pursu our own is one in which we can find little cause for satisfaction and few arguments to employ in its defense.
