promote interest in and advance the

GUS farm crops, ETC., and the Bradley
knitting Co. now proposes to form
Boys Clubs in every State of the
Union for the purpose of raising
more sheep. To be eligible for men,
bership in one of these clubs, boys
must be between the ages of thirteen
and seventeen and live on a farm
where no sheep are kept at the pres
ent time. Bred ewes will be distri-
buted to those boys best answering
certain questions pertaining to sheep
and sheep raising.
The Bradley Knitting Co. will mail
every boy a 16page booklet edited by
Mr.. Anthony Gould of the American
Sheep Breeder. This booklet alone
will be very valuable, written as it is
by an authority and covering every
detail of this important industry.
Write for this booklet today.
If we are to have the proper kind
of warm and durable clothing for our

more wool. 1t should be the patriotic
duty of every boy eligible for men,
bership in these clubs to join today,
and do his bit in helping to bring to
successful conclusion, the prosecu-
ton of this great war.
In addition to acquiring an educa-
ton in sheep raising, every boy who
enters one of these clubs, will secure
