II you want TO ask a sheep where he
got his wool and why. take a dog into
mountain pasture band. and II the
sheep are afraid OF the dog they will
invariably run uphill rather than
down. You have your answer. The
ancestors OF the domestic sheep. like
wild sheep OF the present day. lived
among high mountains and needed
their wooily covering to protect them
against the constant cold OF high at
mospheres. They chose the high and
inhospitable region TO live in because
they found the fierce flesh-eating ami
mails OF the plains too strong for them.
A proof OF these facts Is that the wool
grows on a sheep the year round.

''THE MORAL SIDE OF POLITICAL CUES

The editor of The News has always

of right and wrong. In other words,
