THE POPULAR WOMAN

The most perfect type of popular
woman. says Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
the noted writer. is she who a shine
like the sun when sunshine is needed,
yet who, like that orb, does not al
ways shine, but retires behind the
clouds and calls attention to the bril-
liancy of the stars and the moon.
One who can be entertaining, or
amusing, or instructive, a occasion
demands. but who can always put
herself in the background in order to
exhibit the graces and charms of
others, and who is ever ready to re-
joice in another's success without any
belittling clause affixed to praise.
One who can be tolerant of the
ideas and opinions of others. while
holding entirely opposite ones, and
who knows how to hold fast to her
own ideals while understanding how
others may fail to do so.
The popular woman has quick per-
ceptions and, however. great her
vogue. she is never blinded by con
ceit to such an extent that she fails
to preceive her own faults or neglects
correcting them once she sees them.
That which she finds disagreeable
in others she decides to avoid doing
herself. And those graces and quail
tiles which appeal to her in others
she cultivates.
To seek popularity for the sake of
being popular means the under-min-
ing of character TO seek itthrough
a desire to be a benefit. a pleasure
and a comfort to humanity. means
the building of character.

NEW FOOD FOR SHEEP
Despised Australian Salt Bush
Bids Fair to Revolutionize In
dustry in the Northwest

Remarkable success, achieved by
Y. C. Mansfield of Endicott, Wash,
in fattening sheep on the long-de'
spised Australian salt bush bids fail
to revolutionize the sheep-raising in
dustry in the Northwest. Other
farmers on whose acres the weed
grows, now regard what was form.
erly thought worthless land as a real
bonanza, and are preparing to turn
their attention from the raising Of
hogs and wheat to sheep.
The salt bush is found along high
WAYS from Arizona to Washington,
but few persons know its right name.
In eastern Oregon it is generally
known as the Pendleton food weed.
and has been looked upon as such a
pest that there is a law against al
lowing it to go to seed.
According to Mr.. Mansfield, how
ever, it is of more value to eastern
Oregon than alfalfa, for not only is
it a better feed for sheep. but it will
grow on arid land, and requires prac-
tically no attention after once get
ting a stand, as it grows in hard,
firm soil better than on loose. we'll
cultivated land.
Mr.. Mansfield's experience is uni
que. For years he farmed 5000 acers
of land. all of which was wheat land
with the exception of $50 acres.
which were sub-irrigated alfalfa land.
Finally this land became so foul with
thistles and John Hill mustard that
this, with the high cost of labor and
the low price of wheat, made it i'm
possible for him to continue longer
to grow wheat alone.
Accordingly, two years ago he de-
cided to invest in flock of sheep, and
it was while driving these home that
he made the discovery which he has
since turned to such good account.
Beside the road near the Mansfield
farm the salt bush grew in abund-
ance, and to Mr.. Mansield's surprise
the sheep began feeding it up greed
lily. He figured on the spot that he
had destroyed $500 worth of sheep
feed for that year, besides wasting
labor in trying toget rid of the weeds.
Last summer he pastured his entire
flock of 1000 sheep on the salt bush
with astonishing results. The sheep
were not exceedingly fat, but their
wool was of a superior quality. Sew
eral neighboring farmers with small
bands of sheep followed Mr.. Mans
fields experiment, and their sheep
were also in much better shape than
those that were taken to the noun
tains during the summer.
