Then the sheep raisers will restock
their f1ocks which. since the war, have
been improved but little. The focks
there range In numbers from 1000 TO
10000. During the drought the farm.
ers have paid as high az $40 per ton
for hay but rain at time of arrival of

Vermont and other States and this is
thought to be the most valuable shin.
ment of sheep ever made from America.

he gave orders to non-commissioned Of

a spirited argument occurred between
Attorneys Fits and Cushman relative to
the admission of evidence tending to
show that Williams was wanted. not
for desertion, but for another crime.
Tho encouragement argued that tho
point in question was not whether Will

that as the State had asserted
and had introduced evidence tending to
show that Williams was a deserter and
that he was under arrest for desertion
the question of some other crime had
nothing to do with the case. The matter
was finally adjusted by a conference at
the bench, the examination proceeding.
The witness said that Williams was UNI

BETHEL OUTING PLANS
DIRECTORS ASK AID FOR MISS
HALE'S WORK OF TAKING TO
THE COUNTRY.

The directors Of the Bethel Settle
ment association invite the interest Of
the public in a plan for summer out
ings for poor children, which has been
devised by one Of the settlement work
ers. -, ~:..-.....-
Last summer Miss Hale, who has
charge Of the work at the settlement,
where women are taught to make over
garments, became so impressed by the
hood Of a country. outing that she gave
her entire summer and a generous con-
tribution of money to that end. ~ -

empty farmhouse NEAR : Stewartville,
Mimi, she borrowed a3little'4 furniture
and a. few necessary :. smaller furnish

charge of the day nursery, kept open
house for two months, caring for ten
children at time and planning and SUI
perintending their transportation. The
farm contributed a. cow and horse, while
Miss Hale's two brothers, farmers near
by, supplied butter, eggs and vege-
tables. Only SIS in money was given
from an outside source.
Now this spring Miss Hale again pro-
poses to carry on the same work, and
has a helper promised her from the set
Element The kind brothers stand
ready to lend a second cow, and will
plant the vegetable garden, while but
ter and eggs will doubtless be again
, contributed in the neighborhood.
Miss Hale asks aid only in the mat
i, ter of wages for a woman to do the
! heavy work Of the household, and for
the necessary groceries and incidental
expenses. The railroads give all
transportation. These women know
well the city neighborhood where they
work, and they select the needy chill
! dren, and have already the confidence
of their parents. Never was there Q
safer or more economical channel fol
the investment of money in children &
summer outings. The directors Of the
Bethel Settlement regret that thei1
funds may not be directed to this pur
pose, which lies outside their work, but
they heartily indorse Miss Hale in he1
project and will make themselves re

enabled to secure good, whole clothes
for herself and her family and she has
also learned to sew. The demand for
work is ever increasing and just at
present Mrs. G. D. Smi tn who has
charge Of the exchange. is at q loss to
supply even portion Of it. The work
room has been opened little over a
year, but it long since passed the ex-
detrimental stage and is now neces-
sity. The cooperation, Of the people
of Minneapolis is needed to- maintain it
and the clothes which accumulate in
every attic and store room can be used
to wonderful advantage under the
skilful hands Of Mrs. Smith. If those
who have such cast-off garments will
telephone Main 4l20, Northwestern,
they will be called for at once. Mrs:
M. 3. Pullen is the authorized agent Of
