NOTES FOR SHEEP BREEDERS
Flock Should Be Provided With Dry
Yard and Shed Floor-Drafty
Barn Is Poor Shelter.

Feed the sheep well In early winter
The sheep flock should have access
to clean, pure water, even If they
don't drink much.
The condition of the fleece next
spring depends upon how well the
sheep is cared for now.
If you can't provide your flock with
a dry yard and shed floor, sell them
to your neighbor who can. You will
never succeed with sheep kept in a
wet, muddy yard.
An open shed facing the south, with
a strawstack on the southwest side. is
better than drafty barn for sheep.

WASHINGTON WILL
PUSH WAR LIBRARY
FUND TO $4,000

Theoretically yesterday was the closing
day Of the War Service Library Fund
week. In point of the fact, however,
the campaign will not be closed by
cities and towns behind with their
quotas until they have obtained the
sums set forth for them, according
to information received at national
headquarters here. Accordingly the
campaign in Washington will probably
be continued this week. to run until sub
scriptions totaling $4,000 have been Sc
cured.
While 1t is now evident that the mil
lion-dollar fund has been largely over
subscribed, it is believed that every
cent which has been given can be ad-
vantageously used in providing books,
magazines and papers for the soldiers
and sailors.
Big Task Realised.
1t is generally conceded that the
War Library Council has undertaken
big task in providing libraries for the
enlisted men, insomuch as this problem
will be handled by the council alone.
The library work, which was started by
the Y. NJ. C. A and the Knights Of Co.
lumbus. has been taken over by the
council. and those two organizations
have been cooperating in the campaign
to raise money for this work But the
entire problem Of erecting libraries. pro
viding books and maintaining the libra
ries after they are established will be
handled by the Library War Council
1t is believed that the libraries will
supply a real need Of the men. both in
the camps and at the front
Turning to "HeaVy" Reading.
According TO men at the front, the men
are turning to literature Of a more seri-
Gus tone While. Of course, lighter fic-
ton has its place in camp. the study Of
various subjects and the reading Of
the better books seems to be growing
in popularity.
A letter from one Of the men in the
trenches says that while reading is usu-
ally considered to be a stiIaIlant, the
men at the front experience so much
excitement that they prefer 10 read
something that is more OF a sedative,
something that will relieve the terrific
nerve strain that they undergo.
The largest single donation made to
the library fund was from Albert
Hafner, OF New York, who gave $4,000
to the cause. Two donations OF $4,000
each were made by Cleveland II.
Dodge and James Speyer, also OF New
York, while various other donations
OF $1,000 each were reported from
that State.

F'EETALY ONE FINE
COUNTREE, " SAYS
"SHA YER" TONY

II you want to know Italy's future
place in the sun, consult the nearest
Italian barber shop.
For the price OF a shave, one may
have added, gratis, a lecture upon
the aerial supremacy of the italian
flying corps, a supremacy that pos
terity may challenge, but never equal.
Add to ii a shampoo, and above the
rushing mighty waters from the
faucet. one may catch the reiterated
phrase:
AN Eetaly is one fine. new coun-
tree"
The kingdom OF Italy has furnished
the world with professors for that
great university of the street, the
corner barber shop. Germany made
the mistake in flooding the world
with spies. Italy commits herself to
the plan of flooding the world with
boosters.
Box Scores Fade.
The barber shop chatter OF former
years, concerning box scores and New
York's chances in the big series, has
disappeared-spurlos versankt!
No longer does the curriculum of
these colleges OF the world embrace
a study of twaddle and CAB. All, all
is patriotism. and IL you don't listen,
you'll have steps" in your hair and
Eashes in your chin. Italy Is patient,
But beware OF Italy's vengeance. II
you don't listen, you're liable to look
at the damage.
The new course in patriotism was
outlined by Prof. Alphonse Tana. a
small, black-haired. intense man
who has seen the American shoe
store in Naples. and who sees a great
market for ready-made American
clothes in Italy after the war.
Alphonse tied an apron under a re
port.ar's neck, seized him by the fore
lock, dragged back the scribe's head,
and inquired:
What you think OF the war;"
Reporter Had Views.
The reporter had his views, but
what did Alphonse care? That ques-
tion was like unto the first. trickling
grace notes from the piccolO, as an
orchestra tunes for the overture.
Twisting the clippers in a gracely
tailspin down the reporters neck, AL

Again it made little difference what
nothing but business and Italy. so his
Indifference to alien opinion was par
donable. From now on, though.
there will be little dialect from AL

In the course Of thirty minutes AL

II the United States would declare
