IOW-HEADFD TREES NOT LIKED.

In this COUNTRY resides a man who

The TACT that the wollen

obliged to import millions OF POUNDS
Of wool in order to keep their mills
going has revived interest in the queS-
ron Of sheep raising in many pdIt>
of the cOuntr where tiOckS AVE mo-

The demand for lamb and mutton
at prices higher than they nave pee
for a generation has kept down Tie
hocks SO that the total increase IN the
her of sheep in the United States
has been but 10 per cent IN tWentE-
five years. g
The worlds production both Oh

Another belt interior to this. but

on this belt the vast f1ocks o. Slletp

The dry season Is iO1iS, ~ - =
necessary to resort to water noie9'
which the rams. in their brief season

For the past few years tn neat ana

1t is likely, therefore, that SO lon3

states furnishes but little more thar;

there will be little danger in the next

TRIED A PRACTICAL JOKE.
But Perpetrator Finds It Working
 With Reverse English.

Don't ever try to pull any comedy on a life insurance agency. IL doesn | pay to wax jOcular with life insurance men. because they're the wisest people there are, and you can't get anything past them Many insurance men are so sagacious that they can understand the average life insurance policy.
 Take this case: A Gainesville man, who may be called Johnson, because his name is something else, received a circular letter from a Cleveland insur- ance agency with postal card enclosed for him to sign and send in if he want ed further information. Being one Of the leading iokers of the town, John son did not sign his own name to the card: he signed his friend Thompson's name and then dropped the card into the letter box.
 Then. when the willy insurance men sent a representative out to Paines- vile, he went right to see Thompson, the man whose name was signed 10 the card, didn't he? Answer: He did not He went straight to Johnson. just as if Johnson had affixed his own signature to the card when he mailed it
 we got your card" the agent says to Johnson. and l came out to talk things over with you
 ''W-h- a-a-ti" gasped Johnson, why why. that isn't my signature"
 No" admitted the agent. but you see. it's your handwriting"
 Well. how in the hotel did you find it out?" burst out Johnson in an un- guarded moment
 "Oh. never mind about that" sooth- ed the insurance man, smilingly. We have to know all such things. Let's talk about insurance Why let the mere detail of your signing the wrong name occupy us?"
 I'll tell you what I'll do." declared Johnson. Put me wise to how you found that out and I'll be doggoned if l don't take out a policy for 5000 with you. If you people could figure out that you must be pretty keen bunch"
 The agent pointed to a serial number on the post card. hidden away where nobody would ever notice it. When ever a postal card was sent out with q circular. a record of the serial num- ber was kept in the office. Practically
