JOHN ID. SAVING MONEY.
Buys 400 Sheep to Take the Place OF
Lawn Mowers.

Tarrytown, n. Y, June 23.-John D.
Rockefeller is still economizing. While
playing golf with some friends IN the
early spring, one said:

about 400 sheep and let them feed on your

the cost Of cutting the grass, and besides,
the sheep would keep 1t in condition al
ways"
How much would they COST" he
asked.
The friend replied, "about Sc apiece.
making an expenditure Of about s2,40o.'
ooh, that's too much" answered Mr..
Rockefeller, and the matter dropped The
Idea did not drop with Mr.. Rockefeller,
however and he went back to his house
and started figuring the cost Of his big
motor lawn mowers and the cost of the
sheep and found out that his friends sug-
placed an order for 400 sheep. To-day the
sheep are eating their fill of grass on Mr.
Rockefeller's Pocantco Hills estate and
at the same time saving him money.
Mr.. Rockefeller attended the children s
day services in the First Baptist Church
with Mrs. Rockefeller yesterday. Mr.
Rockefeller sent down wagonload OF
daisies which were used in decorating the
church His men had picked them from
the fields on his estate
Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller will return tc
