 Three sheep to the acre are suffi- cient for the land that can be appro- priated for the feeding of them. Thus, if one has ten acres of land that can be used for a flock each year, 30 sheep only should be procured. It is an easy matter to add to the num- Der if desired. But it is to be con- sidered that the flock will grow very fast, doubling almost, under favorable conditions, every year, if well cared for, and the ewes are not more than three or four years old It is a great mistake to make a start with a flock of old ewes, and is money and care wasted.

WALL STREET ANXIOUS ABOUT
CABINET APPOINTMENTS.

New York, Nov. 22.-(By Union
Associated Press.)-The final count
in the election and official announce
ments have ceased to hold such great
interest in Wall street and a new wor-
ry has crept into the hearts of some
of the big fellows in the country's fl
nancial center. For the past few
days rumors have been increasing to
the effect that John Shelton Williams
may succeed Secretary of the Treas
ury William McAdoo. Such a condi-
ton would create nothing less than
chaos, for while between MI. McAdoo
and Wall street a misunderstanding is
chronic, between Mr., Williams and
Wall street there is no possibility Of
agreement, and very scant pretense
of common politeness. Some of it is
said to be personal, some Of it temper
amental and the rest is reprted hope
less because of Mr.. Williams unique
ideas on the subject Of credit. There
for, until something definite is known
about the plans of President Wilson's
future cabinet, Wall street will be on
the anxious seat in all probability.

Is well as his district IN the state

went to the Philippine Islands he was

He represented the government there
as its attorney general, during which
time he made a record of over ninety
per cent Of convictions. He resigned
his office and was appointed as dean
Of the Manila Law University. Four
years ago he left Manila and came to
the United States and entered the can-
ass one of the orators, advocating in
a number of northern states, the elec-
ton of Woodrow Wilson to the presi-
dency, all of which states returned
majorities for Woodrow Wilson. Some
Of them in the. last election, however,

TOWN VS.. COUNTRY.

s>One obstacle to the cordial relations that
should exist between all classes of American life
is the unreasoning antagonism that so often eX.
lists between the town and the country.
Why this should exist is hard to see, in view
Of the fact that each is largely dependent upon the
other in many of the relations OF life.
Unfortunately, however, it is a fact with which
we have to deal when considering any matter OF
import to the people of any given section.
This prejudice shows itself in political life, in
church life, in social life and even in business. 1t
frequently manifests itself in a conviction of the
country man that the town man is always
watching for an opportunity to "do" him. He is
convinced that all existant evil has it's origin
in the towns. The town man, to his man, exists
for no other purpose than to prey off the farmers.
On the other hand it frequently occurs that
the people Of the town become imbued with the
belief that the country people shave it in for
them"
Thus are the relations between the two in a
strained condition, and in many cases even the
most ordinary business relations are hindered
and blocked by this unreasoning and unreasonable
jealousy.
Perhaps you say the picture is overdrawn. 1t
10 AOtsr A4N ~ AA0o ~AA y ANAAAA~A Wv
Just such communities. And, unfortunately, in
many instances the prejudice is we'll founded.
1t is a fact that the clannish spirit is the last
to die OF all the savage instincts of man. my clan
and my class mean everything to me, and your
clan and your class are my natural enemies"
That is the subconscious reasoning Of many men
even yet-and Of men in whom we would least ex-
pect it.
Is there, you ask, a remedy? Yes, there is
one, but it is an individual remedy. That is char
ity-that charity which "~covereth a multitude Of
sins"-that charity which "thinketh no evil"
Like many other causes of friction between
people, this condition grows from slight causes,
and a little liberation at charity at the right time
and place will go a long way toward remedying
matters.
Also stress the fact that two elements are
mutually dependent upon each other-their in
terests are one. Let each say to himself, as said
another Of old, "We be brethren"
Ever try a genuine dose of charity toward
your ~neighbor? Try it. You will be surprised
how rapidlyshe will grow in your estimation.

THE SUB WAR WAKES STRONG.

The fact has been apparent in this country foY
several weeks that German submarines are wag-
ing a new campaign against allied shipping. In
the face of the promises to the United States their
U-boats are destroying many vessels, some of
them, being armed, receiving no warning.
This submarine warfare affects America as
well as Great Britain. Our relation depends en-
tirely upon the question whether an armed mer-
chairman can claim an immunity attack. Ger
many maintains that it cannot. America appar-
emily believes that it can. Other ~neutrals have
differed on the subject and there is no unanimity
of opinion among the neutral powers.
In Great Britain, however, the result has call
ed forth demands for a more stringent policy to-
wards the Germans, because of the realization
that a successful submarine campaign will be a
serious situation constituting a menace to the sue
cess of the war.
Lord Beresford recently declared that Great
Britain had arrived at a serious crisis calling for
energy and foresight" 1t was time for plain
speaking, he said, because the House of Com
mons and the newspapers had been muzzled by
the most autocratic government since the time of
Pharaoh" Lord %Sydenham avowed that there
was an uneasy feeling in the country that the SUBJ
marine menace was more serious than the authori-
were willing to admit"
The government held that the admiralty had
been singularly successful in the destruction Of
enemy submarines, but admitted that. the diff
culties in dealing with the menace had increased.
