Georgia Can Raise
Sheep With Profit
Spring Lambs Bring Fancy Prices And
Quick Returns
MILTON p. JARNAGIN, Prof. Animal

MILTON p. JARNAGIN, Prof. Animal
Husbandry, Ca State COL Of Agri,
With lambs selling at II and II
cents per pound live weight, no live
stock undertaking is likely to prove
more profitable nor turn profits more
quickly than sheep raising. For the
past 80 years there has been a steady
decrease in the number of sheep in
this country This is likewise true
of the whole world. Raising and sell
ing spring lambs bring the best re-
turns and no great amount Of capital
need be involved in the undertaking.
Native ewes may be purchased and a
purebred sire of one of the standard
mutton breeds mated with them not
later than the middle of September,
which will bring the lambs to drop
before the middle of February.
During the fall and winter the ewes
should have abundance of grazing on
such crops as rye, Vetch and crimson
clover, bur clover, rye alone, and if
oats and wheat have attained a rank
growth it will do no harm to craze
them on these crops. If ewes are III
thin flesh it pays to feed them a lit
tie grain during the fall and winter.
After lambs have begun to take all
of their mothers milk, ewes should
BE put on luXuIiant pastures. a creep
or pen into which the lambs can go
and the ewes can not, should be pro-
vidcd, and in the creep put fiat trOughs
in which feed equal parts Of corn, oats
and bran. BY this method it should
be no trouble to make the youngsters
average 20 pounds each by May. The
ewes should average III lambs each.
On the basis of present market one
could expect to sell them at 10 cents
per pound as early lambs.
There is room for small flock OF
breeding ewes on every farm in Geor-
sia.

COMEDIE FRANCHISE
VISIT HERE ABANDONED
Players Refuse to Leave Homes
in War Time.

The New York visit this autumn Of
the Comedie Francaise has practically
been abandoned, il became known yes
terdsy, because of the refusal of the
famous organizations members TO leave
Paris at time when France is so seri-
ously involved in the war
The proposed visit OF the French
players, who represent the highest art
in the French drama, was announced
last spring, the idea behind the voyage
being that the appearance of the com
pany here, would cement more closely
the friendly relations of the two .repub.
lies. Not since the Comedie Francaise
was founded. in 1880, has it ever played
outside France.
To arrange for the visit. NJ. Jules
bois came 10 this country several
months ago with the full approval of
his government. which was well pleased
with the plan for the players foreign
trip. His plan was greeted with enthu-
slasm in New York; promises of hnan-
cIal support from American men and
women interested in the French drama
came quickly. Enough of the players
from the Coincide Francaise were 10
be brought 20 present repertory OF
eight dramas-four French classics and
four modern pieces.
All arrangements for the visit ap-
pesred TO be complete. The players
themselves had announced their will
ingness to journey 20 America, but the
sudden change in their determination
brought all plans TO an absolute
stsndstill.
N. BoIs is still at the Bll,more, but

WOMEN'S PARTY HOPES
TO TURN ELECTION TIDE
Claims Ninety-one Votes and
Balance of Power.

The new Women's party-composed
of the 4.000, 900 women voters IN twelve
suffrage states--expects 10 control nine
ty-one votes in the next Electoral Col
lege and turn the tide in the Preslden-
tial election.
"There is no doubt of the power the
new party, organized last June in Chi,
cago. will have in this Presidential
election" declared Miss Alice Paul,
chairman Of the Women's Congression-
al Union, on her arrival yesterday here
from Washington. "Our strength now
lies in the fact that the Progressive
party is practically out of existence.
While II lived il was able TO turn the
balance of power. Now the Women's S
party can throw that power. People
will soon realize that we are President
makers. 1000
To-day there are more than 4,OOO,--
600 women, in twelve states, qualified
10 vote for President. These twelve
states control ninety-one electoral
votes, or one-fifth of the Electoral Col
lege. Since the last Presidential cleo
tion our power has doubled.
"The line of work TO be followed by
the party will be determined at It's tirst
convention, TO begin August 10 at Colo
RADIO Springs IL will be the most i'm
portant suffrage gathering ever held,
and its ultimate action will depend
upon what Hughes, Wilson or the So
cialist party will promise TO do for

aged keeper would not be easy.
Ellis seized the revolver, and, wrest-
ling for possession of the weapon, the
two men rolled about the floor Twice
Ashbridge managed to get the muzzle
against the keepers head, and twice
the trigged was pulled. Each time
the hammer fell upon Ellis's thumb,
laceratng It, but failing to explods
the cartridge.
While they were fighting and raising
a commotion that within few minutes
would have brought keepers from other
parts of the jail Murphy sprang into
the fight. A swift, cruel blow with a
chair and Ellis reeled away, his grasp
broken. His adversary was shaken from
the struggle, and while he caught his
breath Murphy discharged his pistol
twice. Both shots took effect in Ellis s
body.

cutor Kraft in Cooper Hospital, "but
the second one finished me. My strength
left me. | only saw Ashbridge. The
whole thing was over in less time than

With both keepers out of the way
the two prisoners seized hats and coats
and walked out the front door Of the
prison. That was the last seen Of them.
Ellis. who did not lose consciousness
despite his wounds, dragged himself TO
his desk and managed to reach the
telephone His weak voice carried the
alarm TO Police Headquarters.
"Send some one quick TO the county
Jail" he cried; ''l'm shot"
The police secured the neighborhood
and placed guards on all the ferries.
Although it was still daylight when
the men strolled out of the prison door,
no one could be found who remembered
seeing them.
Ashbridge was charged with the
murder of chorus girl last January.
Two women are believed by the au-
thorities TO have provided the revolver
and TO have planned the escape Of the
pair. The police say they expect TO
take the men into custody tomorrow.
Two women obtained permission to-
day to visit Ashbridge. One said she
was his sister. There was no guard
present at the time, but Alfred Will
iams, another prisoner, declared that
one of the women threw a package
into the cage where the prisoners ex-
