lea to help raise $1,000. 600 for The two
training schools for Army workers. One
of these schools is to be located ia Chi

How to BE an inventor.

A retired professor of mechanical
engineering was called upon to deliver
few lectures on invention to the
senior engineering classes. His first
injunction was-that when one attempts
to devise machine to do certain
thing, one must consider directly the
fundamental operations to be perform
ed and must wipe from the mind all
existing methods and all preconceived
notions. He stated that one SO called
inventor attempted in the days Of the
scythe to invent a moving machine.
Being familiar only. with the scythes
he designed a horse drawn machine
which would swing a. scythe. He
simply replaced the man by mech
anism. 1t is needless to say that his
invention did not survive. The prob
lem Of efficiently cutting hay and grain
was not successfully solved until It
was attacked by man with an open
mind, and he devised the knife Of the
modern moving machine or reaper

Preparing For Vigorous Campaign.

With three complete State tickets in
the Geld. the general campaign will prob
ably open within the next two weeks and
from then on most vigorous contest will
be waged throughout Maryland, says the
Democratic Telegram. Seldom in the
history of Maryland politics have the
prospects for Democratic victory been
brighter than they are in this contest.
From present indications. the Demo-
Gratis will sweep the State. This is ad-
mitted by Republicans, as well as Pro-
gressive leaders and workers The Re-
publican party is divided against itself.
The Progressive party has considerably
diminished in numbers since the last
fight. The Democratic party is more en-
Enthusiastically united than it has been for
years.
When the Democrats begin their cam
paign, il is their intention to whoop
things mp in every county and in Balti-
more city. Not only will local orators be
called upon to take the stump, but it is
expected that some members of Con.
gress will be asked to come to Maryland
TO help elect the State ticket.
As a United States Senator and one
Congressman are to be elected In Mary
land, the Democratic members of Con.
gress are much intererted 10 these con-
tests. It is expected that, during the
height Of the Maryland campaign, Con-
gress will be in session. and thus it will
be easy for Democratic orators in Con.
gress to come to this State to make
speeches.

late Friday settled the last of the other
differences and reached the final decision

Oriental Images Are Popular With Capital Society

n UDDHA, the placid apostle OF ao-

nigh tide of faddism. His is a place
of honor among the expensive art OBJ
jects in Washington homes of wealth

of orientalism, and he lends a decor
alive charm to many drawing rooms

teacher of India, who was later adopt
ed as :. deity in Japan. China, Ceyion

thousands of brown men and women
have bent the knee. is in great de-

FIRE PREVENTION.
WASH BURN,


Recently New York had a fire pre-
vention day" Officials and insurance

STATIONS OF the various methods OF
safeguarding property and particular
ly of avoiding fires by the observance
of the laws and the exercise of care
on the part of those in charge of prop
erty. This educational work should
be continued without interruption.
Every city should undertake to teach
the people the truth that fire is a
needless waste and if every one is
careful there is no occasion whatever
for these visitations. In the case OF
wires and pipes causing the ignition
of woodwork. the blame is to be
placed upon those who are responsible
for the construct in or the main
tenance of the building. 1t is possible
that they cannot cause the heating of
adjacent materials and all forms of
heating apparatus can be similarly
covered so that they are innocuous. By
keeping matches stored in tin boxes
and out of the reach of children they
are eliminated as possible cause
for fire. The fire loss in any city
would be materially reduced if every
person were careful in throwing away
a match after igniting it or in casting
aside burning cigar or cigarette

CAREFUL ATTENTION is REQUIRED FOR
EWES AND LAMBS DURING CGLD WEATHER
When Animals Are Allowed to Run in Open During Landing Sea-
Task of Shepherd Is Made More Difficult Than When
Properly Housed-Construct Temporary Pens.

The busiest time in the whole year
for the sheep raiser is when the
lambs are being dropped, along in
the latter part of the winter. The
actual profits of the whole years
sheep raising are really being made
at this time, and the shepherd is
forced to work about twenty-four
hours out of every twenty-four, for
week or two.
During February and March, and
sometimes during the last days of
January, the good shepherd finds that
practically every hour of his time is
being taken up by the Landing ewes,
says a Kentucky writer in the Farm
Progress. Lantern in hand, he must
visit the sheep once or twice during
the night When they are being allow
ed to run in the open his task is two
and three times as difficult as when
the sheep are being corralled in sheds
and pens every night.
In order that help and care may be
given every eve and lamb that may
need it, l try to visit every sheep in
the flock about three or four times
daily. During the day, while the sheep
may be on the pasture, constant watch
ing is necessary, as the ewes are likely
to drop their lambs in some remote
part of the pasture.
There are number of things that
may happen to the disadvantage of

in half-concealment during the first
hours of their existence.
When a lamb Is left in this way
when the sheep are corralled for the
night, he is apt to wander off some
where, tangle himself In the hriers of
fence corner, or fall into some hole
where he will not be found til after
he has starved to death Cold and
exposure will kill a lamb in a few
hours during the frosty nights.
Early in the winter months in which
the lambs are to be expected l set
apart as much of the sheep sheds and
shelters as can possibly be spared and
divide them of into temporary pens.
These l use for the ewes Immediately
after they have dropped their lambs.
This year 1 took space four feet
wide along the east wall of q long
sheep shed and fenced 1t off from the
rest of the interior. BY dividing this
long space into little pens. five feet
long, ] made room for a dozen ewes
and their lambs.
A space four by five feet is plenty
big enough to hold mother and her
lamb comfortably for a night and a
day. When a eve and lamb are
brought in / put them in these pens

mother and bucket of water to help
