The vital need OF q material In
crease in the supply of American
sheep is set forth in an interview in
the Washington Post with Mr.. James
Holmes, stockman and bushes:
man of st. Louis. Greater still thar
the problem of manufacturing MUM
tons and training an army will be The
need of preparation in the industries
Mr.. Holmes says. He adds:
"Just compare England with
our own situation. You can put
that whole country in the upper
and lower peninsula of Michigan,
and yet they have in England
100000 sheep. If the English
can raise sheepr0n land valued at
$500 to- $4,000 an acre, why
should not we in this country
raise sheep on the vast acres
that are suitable for nothing
else? Sheep have made Eng
land the richest agricultural ma
ton Of its size in the world.
Without sheep millions of acres
of so-called barren land in Eng
land would be useless for the
production. of farm crops, but
sheep, are great fertilizers of
the soil"

INBOUND GERMAN GOLD

Ever since the diplomatic break
with the Kaiser's government German
bankers here have been shipping
quantities of gold to Mexico, Cuba,
and South America. Now in view of
what happened at the beginning of
the world war it would seem to be
the part Of wisdom for our govern
ment to take some decided action in
this matter. On the very day that
war was declared the German min
lister of finance impounded all the
gold in the banks, and prohibited its
export from the country. In taking

There is something very beautiful
in the softening influence of years on
human character. While it is true
that age is sometimes peevish, it is
oftener true that men who have
started on the down-hill stretch of
life present their golden-ripe side to
view, like a rich apple that has mel
lowed on the tree and taken its COM
plexion from the sunshine that ma
lures and beauties everything in
this lovely world.

Bedding Wins Track Meet

Bedding Wins Track Meet
Last Friday was an ideal day for a
track meet, and the Bedding athletes
seemed to keep pace with the wealth
err. The annual dual track meet with
Rockford resulted in TAN to 29h
victory for Bedding high. Jersey was
the high individual point winner with
a total of thirty points. Ray For
man was next with total of sixteen
points. Merrill Peterson sprung a
surprise by winning the 440-yard dash
for which he had not been entered.
He won total of twelve points. The
above individual scores would seem
to indicate the fact that our team is
three-man team. But Hanson,
Wheeler, IGreenop, Pinkham, Inslcy
and the Lambertson brothers show
great promise, and are expected to
show up well in the field day at Ionia
next Saturday.

CONFIRMS
BRITISH GAINS IN
WEEKS REPORT

The Secretary OF War authorizes the
following statement dealing with mill
tary activities in Europe for the week
ending September %.
The Ypres salient continues the center
Of military interest along the western
front. The battle OF Menin Road, which
promises to be one off the great battles
OF the war, is following its normal
course.
Last week we recorded the gains Of
the British in this sector. This week
We note desperate attempts made by the
Germans to retake the lost positions.
Beginning Sunday last, the constantly in
creasing violence Of the counter-attaeks
reached a elimination on the 27th In
slant, when seven powerful onslaughts
by the picked storm Battalions" Of tbs
enemy sndeavored vaInly to regain the
lost objectives. The village Of Zonne-
beke, the center Of the conflict, is now
firmly held by the British.
German Supplies Threatened.
This new British advance in the Ypres
salient now definitely threatens the
enemy's line Of communications to the
Belgian coast. The Ostende-LiIle Rail
way. which in q large measure feeds the
German naval bases at ostende and
ZeebrugEe. the latter the home port Of
the German high seas submarine hotillas.
now comes within the range Of the hre
Of the British guns.
The superiority Of the British over
their enemies was concluaively proved
during the engagements Of the last week.
The battle Of Menin Road, furthermore,
shows that the fighting stamina OF the
Germans Is deteriorati1g, not that the
enemy did not display great skill and
dogEed determination in his repeated
counter attacks.
During the recent operations in this
sector the British captured 4,s4s pris-
oners, including 12S officers.
Along the French front, particu-
larly in the Aisne sector of Braye-
Csrny- -Hurtebise, artillery duels OF In
tense violence are reported.
The enemy attempted an attack
upon the French outposts on th" right
bank Of the Meuse. This attack was
partially successful, and certain Ger
ma units gained a foothold in the
French center. where a Violen: COM
bat took place, which ended in the
French regaining the lost positions.
French Lines Harassed.
Along the whole French front Ger
