at the ranches. Neverthleess, it
is generally felt that if all stocks
could be totalled the volume would
be extraordinarily low. Officials
of the National Wool Marketing
corporation believe there may be
actual shortage of some grades and
that mill demand for these wools
may make heavier importations
necessary.
Not since 1918 has the estimate
of wool stocks at the close of any
year been below 300,000,000 pounds,
including domestic and foreign
wools. Estimated stocks on De
cember 31, 1918, stocks were esti
mated at 272,000,000 pounds, the
lowest in fifteen years. Since that
year 303,000,000 pounds has been
the low level. This was reached in
1927.
From its Boston office the Na
tional Wool Marketing corporation
forecasts a large volume of busi
ness in the goods trade during 1932.
The popularity of wool which de
veloped in li)31 should carry over
into the new year and win be em
phasized in many fields of women's
wear, believes J, Byron Wilson,
manager of the cooperative. Last
year wool did not start moving in
volume until after the middle of
February. This year the second
week saw wool manufacturers
quicken their interest in raw wool.
The knit goods Industry promises
to be one of the genuinely bright
spots during the coming year. New
York stylists say that fully three
times as much style attention is be
ing given to sweaters as a year
ago. Anaylsis of wool consumption
by grades for mills reporting to the
government during 1931 shows how
the knit goods industry helped the
wool grower last year. Consump
tion of low quarterblood wool for
1931 was 12,800,000 pounds for mills
reporting, against 10,700,00 pounds
for 1930. Consumption of regular
quarterblood wool for 1931 was 14,
036,000 pounds, compared to 39,
733,000 pounds in 1930.
Wool machinery in Great Britain
has been more active than at any
time within two years. Japan con
tinues a heavy wool buyer. Her
purchases in Australia alone are
forecast at 500,000 bales for the
year. Japan's needs- for wool are
greatly accelerated by her military
activities. Stocks of wool tops in
Europe are getting smaller. The
stocks in September, 1929, still
stand as a peak of recent years.
Elsewhere in the world, as in the
United States, production trends
are turning downward. Wilson be
lieves the 1932 clip will be consid
erably reduced from the 1931 level
Various private estimates in the
wool trade place the decline at 25,-
000,000 pounds or more, which
would make the coming clip about
equal to that of 1930, which was
342,667,000 pounds of shorn wool.
Declining production, increasing
consumption and the
production made in cooperative
marketing should mean much to
improve the wool situation this
year. With consumption increas
ing and an anticipated improve
ment in the general economic sit
uation, the cooperative stands in a
good position to obtain for its member-growers
full value for all of
their wool. Wool consumption, the
last four years, represents an in
crease of approximately 200,000,000
pounds over the previous four
years. Of this amount about half
came in 1931. Everyone in the wool
trade hopes the signs are being
read rightly and that this increase
in wool demand will continue.

Mind Your Own Business.
"Endeavor ... to mind your own
business." 1st Thess. 4-11.
There are always some folks who
spend more time nosing Into the af
fairs of others than they give to
their own affairs. To attend to
their own business and let alone
olhpr DeoDle's business seems to
be a hard job for some.
The exhortation given in the text
was occasioned by an element in
the Church at Thessalonica who
were making themselves officious
in other people's affairs; and it
seems this is something every
church has to contend with folk
who have not even their names on
the rolls of the Church, perhaps.
professing to speak for the Church
talking in terms of great deeds
and dollars GIVING in terms of
dimes and small service. This in
no wise has anything to do with
those fine folk who give always
ALL they can for the Kingdom's
work; but it has to do with just
what it says those who talk large
and give and work small.
"Busybodies," Paul calls them
and it seems a good designation.
These "Busybodies" in the Thessa-
lonican Church were truly BUSY:
They were going about telling ev
eryone else how to do this and that,
and trvine to set everyone else
right except themselves!
"Endeavor to mind your own
business." Do not be a meddler.
This is fine advice for all of us. We
should not spend our time prying
into things that do not concern us.
And we shall have enough to do if
we give careful and proper atten
tion to OUR OWN BUSINESS!
But this does not mean that we
are to take no proper interest in
other people and their affairs.
Wherever and whenever we can
give friendly, kindly, help or ad
vice, or extend a helping hand, it is
our duty to do so. But that is quite
different from MEDDLING in the
affairs of others. This would be a
happier world if we would all learn
to mind first, our OWN BUSI
NESS! Do you have a Church home? If
not, we invite you to come and wor
ship with us. You will enjoy the

pel message, "The Soul's Greatest
Question."
The chief fact In any man's life
is his opinion of Jesus Christ. The
age-old plea of the moralist, "if I
do the best I can, the Lord must
accept me" has no foundation. Our
only hope is Christ. Christ is
God's way to man and because of
that Christ only is man's way to
God. "No man cometh to the Fa
ther but by me," says He who by
His life, word and deed proved to
be God himself. What will you do
with Him? Sir John Simpson, the
discoverer of the use of chloroform,
was once asked, what do you con
sider your greatest discovery? The
great scientist replied, "That I am
a sinner, and that Christ is my Sa
viour. Lord Kelvin, one of the
giants of nineteenth century phy
sics, when asked what he consider
ed the urea test discovery, said:
'When I discovered my Saviour in
Jesus Christ."
May you too ask the question of
questions, "What must I do to be
saved?" and then accept the direc
tion of the ages: Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt
be saved.

National Wool Coop
Cuts Out Selling Agent
Boston, Feb. 10. In the future
the National Wool Marketing cor
poration will sell all wool consign
ed by its 35.000 grower-members of
the United States directly, and will
not employ a sales agent, it is an
nounced by J. Byron Wilson, .gen
eral manager, McKinley, Wyoming.
The personnel of Draper and
company, which has acted as sales
agent during the first two years of
the cooperatives operations, has
been taken over by the national.
The same group will constitute the
sales department No change will
be made in selling or price policy,
Wilson said.
"The change achieved an improv
ed selling plan and will benefit wool
growers who consign their clips to
the national after they have receiv
ed preshearing advances," Wilson
said. "There is no special signif
icance in tlit change. . It is a step
contemplated two years ago when
the cooperative was organized. In
the past two years we have receiv
ed 225,000,000 pounds of wool and
mohair.
