Mr. ternoon, Todd arrived in the early af- rather unexpectedly and it was impossible to inform everyone of his being here, however, and some students were present to hear his talk in the Y. M. C.

He said he been informed Theo. H.

The length of the staple varies as much as one- eighth of an inch from weather con- ditions, and the spinner must have a certain staple, which can only be sup- plied by the broker, who collects from many districts.
