SHEEP AND WOOL.
A Sheep Growers View Of Future
Conditions.

A sheep grower in the American
Stockman takes this view of the fu
ture, viz:
With the coming of spring the inter
rupted activities that are now being re-
sumed will be under full sway and then
sheep, lambs and wool will be worth
as much, if not more, that before the
panic. Sheep and lambs were the last
in live stock to break in values and the
first to recover. Wool was even more
strongly entrenched, holding remark
ably firm. While there has been nc
demand to speak of for go days past
there has been no wool sacrificed
proving beyond a doubt that stocks Of
wool are light and strongly held.
Our great increase in population has
been followed by increased production
of cattle, hogs, grains and cotton-but
not of sheep. On the contrary ouI
sheep have decreased many millions.
We must import 40 per cent. of the wool
and wooden goods that our needs demand
and yet our consumptive demand
for the healthful and pleasing mutton
chop and roast increases wonderfully.
While the slaughterers can make
good high profit, they will pay big
prices, big prices tempt the growers
to sell. and even to part with their
lambs. The conditions as they are
and have been for some time, am con.
fident. will continue.

Although the determination of an
pose of the Mol mission" sent to the
French Congo about 10 months ago,
it's activities had a much wider scope.
Among other things, the savants who
accompanied Commandant MOL
brought back to France a series of
photographs illustrating the styles Of
hair dressing in vogue among the
women of the Dark Continent. They
are more remarkable for their ingenu.
ity and the inconvenience and discom.
fort they must entail upon the wearer
than for their beauty. If such thing
as the proverbiaI freedom of savages
exists, it is evident that the French
Congo know little of it. So great is
the regard of the Northern Baya WON

the Southern Baya winds hers around

opponent, and am, Of course, the
nominee for said office, and hope al
my friends will stick to true demo
cratic principles and support me in
the April general election.
Mr. Smith in a good friend of mine
and il, of course, ais well, and possit-
~ better, qualified to fill the office
than myself, but why did hpnot think
of this sooner and make the race
through the first primary with me?
There is much need for such an Of
flee at this point, and realizing this
together with the solicitation of the
citizens here. took the matter under
adviseaent with the result as above
stated. should Mr.. Smith have made
known his desire for the office several
months before the first primary !
would most likely have given way to
him and sawed one Of us unnpcessar
expense. IN the office is not impor-
tant enough to risk chances for eie,.-
tion.
As it is, Mr.. Smiths letter of an
noumpnent would stem tn indicate

soon as discovered Mr.. Godsey did
all in his power to save the child.

was wholly unavoidable on Mr.. Cod
sey's part. . .... -.
