 crew sheared over 4,OOO sheep and got through at 30 o'clock. This was an average of over 200 head to the man.

 of New York City, decided that theh , boy was devOting too much time tC
 other things than his studies and he wa: so advised. His answer was not cheer 2 ing to his parents and they served hin , with an ultimatum: to either droE ; sports Or to drop out of the family He choose the latter and finally drift
