Western officials rule over Shang.
hal began more than fifty years ago.
At the suggestion of the British con-
sui a narrow strip of land about one
mile long and about half as wide was
set aside for foreigners. This be-
came the British and French settle
ments, bounded by Suchow creek and
the Yangking canal. Later the Ameri-
cans were given a concession across
the creek. For time the settlements
were governed by the British, French
and American consuls. AS the foreign
city grew and foreign interests de-
veloped, SO the administration of its
affairs became systematiZed. Manage
ment of public business was later
vested in municipal council elected
by the taxpayers. For reasons OF
their own the French withdrew from
this plan several years ago and estab-
lished their own little government on
a strip Of land separated from the
main settlement by a baby canal.
Over there Shanghai is wholly French
in architecture, customs and people
and is we'll worth visiting. A muni-
cipal council elected annually Is in
charge of the foreign settlement. The
British usually control the council.
Modern Shanghai Is Imposing.

SECURING PROFIT IN SHEEP
II Pure-5red and Well Cared for They
Pay Handsomely-need Shelter
In Severe Weather,

My sheep are pure American Meri-
nos, all registered. Two of this kind
l can keep in summer or winter with
the same care and feed with which
one of most any other breed can be
kept, says writer in an exchange.
My sheep barn is a closed building
with a broad door so that the sheep
can 90 In and out without crowding
each other. The feeding racks in one
room are on the outside; the other
room has q double rack through the
middle. I give my sheep large run
In the fall SO they go into winter guar
ters in good condition and never leave
them out in heavy rains through the
season.
The breeding ewes are let out every
morning In winter to eat their grain,
which is oats, and to give them exer-
else. I feed them hay three times a
day. Some only feed twice / only
give them little at noon time, also
give their pens a litter of oat straw
two or three times week. | try to
have my sheep shorn before they drop
their lambs so the little fellows have
no trouble to find their first meal. The
eve that is In good condition has
good supply of milk and almost al
ways owns her lamb. / never keep
salt by them, but feed 1t to them once
a week. ! have water by them all the
time. never allow the ram to run
with the ewes. The rams that are to
be used are fed three-quarters oats
and one-quarter wheat mixed. The
young lambs in the fall and winter are
fed twice daily grain ration of oats
and sometimes wheat bran half
mixed.

ers has grown steadily, so that the
modern city of Shanghai is very i'm
posing. Four, five and six-story gray
and red stone buildings with elevators
line the wide, clean streets. Up-to-
date stores sport plate glass windows,
ample showcases and first-class line
of goods, sometimes little out Of
date, from Paris, London and New
York. The best rickshas in China,
with wide seats and fiat rubber tires,
wriggle their way at all hours be-
tween carriages and motor cars.
Small drays lumber about with mer-
chandise and painting coolies trot
along all day under their long poles
laden at either end with packages.
Launches and tugs shrek up and
down the river from morning to night.
All the banks, leading business
houses and principal clubs have tAeir
own buildings. There is a plentiful
supply Of newspapers in English,
French, Chinese and Japanese. The
North China Daily News, a typical
British organ Of the colonial type, is
a powerful daily with record of forty
years of publication to bolster up its
conservatism. The China Press, an
American daily. started two years ago
by Thomas F. Millard, is already
huge success by virtue Of hard work
and good editing on the best Ameri-
can lines, and enjoys the largest cir
culation Of all foreign journals in the
far east.
Chinese faith in occidental methods
is shown in the way the natives have
flocked into the settlement. Their
stores are seen everywhere and scores
of ex-officials or wealthy men own
and occupy palatial residences.

Helping the Little Fellow

The United Shoe Machinery Com
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation of shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start In
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the, number Of shoes he makes-an
average Of less than 2-3 cents a pair
and let us keep them up to date.
That is fair arrangement. Some of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fel-
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
II 1t were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories In small towns.

ONLY One FIFTH
CAN BE SAVED
California Fruit Crop Was
Given Staggering Blow
by Mr.. Jack Frost.

United Press Leased Wire Service
LOS ANGELES, Calf. Jan. S.--That
only one-fifth of the California orange
and lemon crops will be saved and
that the loss to growers will total
nearly $4,000, ,0G0 was the statement
made today by persons who have com
municated with all parts Of the citrus
fruit district from Los Angeles to
San Bernardino since the blighting
frost struck that section Sunday.
More conservative estimates state
that the loss to growers will be
about s15,000,o0o and that, in addi-
ton, the railroads will lose about $S,-
000,U00 in curtailed freight receipts.
Although they had already fought
for 4S hours to save their crops from
the cold, most Of the growers were
out again all last night burning
smudge pots in an effort to save wha,
had not already been lost. Today 1t
was stated that fully four-fifths OF the
entire crop was frozen during the
cold spell, which means that 1t is ir-
reparably ruined The weather bu-
reau today predicted warmer weather.

So terrific was the manner in

ordered to remain below decks. New
Years day was cheerless one for all

they forgot to be sick and scrambled
