j. A. Sturtevant has been engaged as
scientific assistant in sheep investiga :
tions in Vermont. Following is letter
received from him in regard TO sheep in
Washington county:
This is the time of year that men who
have decided to start focks should do so.
The breeding season is at hand and it is
advantageous for the prospective breeder
to breed his own stuff rather than secur
ing bred ewes, unless he starts in very
small way. The price of breeding stock
is very high, but the L. S. department
of agriculture believes that with careful
management the average farmer can
profitably start in the sheep business,
beginning conservatively and gradually
increasing his fiocks by retaining the eve
lambs Native stock is scarce in most
places, but where the demand is suffi-
cient, western yearling ewes can be read
ily secured. There are about 1000 head
of these at Selkirk, N. Y, and the price
is Sl5 per head f. o. b. Selkirk Freight
rates, in car lots from Selkirk to Burling
ton is 1875 cents per hundred weight

The above prices per ton ascribed to
the different classes of the corn accord
ing to its maturity or the amount Of dry
feeding matter that it contains at these
different stages of its growth. The
each of these classes is determined by
stripping and counting the ears on the
plot cut of each variety 1t is by multi
plying these out and adding that we ar
rive at the concluding value, given in the
last column, of each variety. Note par
ticularFy how the values advance for the
varieties that were the most heavily
cared and in the most advanced stages
of growth. These figures tell you some
thing of the work, but you should see
the fields and the corn to get the most
good out of it,

Rich Graphite Mines.

Important graphite deposits near Turkushansk are now being worked, and it is expected that the mines will supply sufficient mineral to fill the de mands of the country and leave lit tie for export purposes. Tests have shown that this mineral is to be had at this point in very large quantities, but the most important feature of the mines is the purity of the yield, which is said to average 98 per cent pure carbon. The graphite supply has here tofore come mainly from Austria and Ceylon, but the Russian mines prom ise to equal these sources of supply.

Chimney Comparatively New.

The chimney is something that Is relatively new in architecture. Many of the old castles and other buildings of Europe which were constructed be- fore the fifteenth century have no chimneys. In some of them fiue leads from the back and above the fire place through the wall to the outer air. It was somewhere about the thir. teenth century that in certain build ings the masons began to run the flue to the top of the building, but the chimneys of that period had openings in the side, the top being roofed over. It was about the fifteenth century that masons began to build chimneys that extended above the roof of the house and to leave the top of the chimney ncovered.-Washingto Star.

Profit In High Wages.

Wherever rubber grows, there in- iquity flourishes. Tropical fruits are made cheap because human life where they grow is cheap. The spirit of hu- manity is just beginning to creep into the relations between those who have much and those who have little. But rare discovery has been made. Strange as it may seem, 1t has been proved by experiment that it pays to be reckless of expense when service Is sought and rendered. That which has come to pass in the higher ranges of employment where salaries have been increased tenfold and even more, is happening all along the line where labor and capital meet. Five dollars paid in wages to one competent man brings a larger return than $5 paid to five incompetent men and women; and the larger wage brings the greater fit ness for the work. Better wages stir ambition and cause the horizon to ex- pand.-Christian Register.

DIG IN CELLARS
IN SEARCH FOR
CRIME TRACES
Over 700 Girls Have Disappeared in
New York City Since
January 4.

New York, June 20.-Senationa
allegations of widespread traffic
in girls in this city resulted in Police
Commissioner Woods ordering a rig
Id investigation Of the charges today.
His action followed the announce
ment that between 700 and 500 girls
have disappeared from tbair homes
here since January 1.
This was the most important re-
suit thus far Of the belated discov-
cry by woman lawyer and a private
detective Of the murder of Ruth
Cruger, 1S-year-old high school stud
ent, months after the police had end
ed a superficial search for her.
Spare no one" was the order CIV
en- by Commissioner Woods to Inspec-
tor j. A. Faurot, who was placed
in charge OF the inquiry, which is
expected to shake the police depart
ment from top to bottom. Faurot
was directed to sift thoroughly the
avowal of Mrs. Grace Humiston, the
lawyer In the Cruger case, that white
slave traders are responsible for the
heavy toll Of missing girls and to

place responsibility on those in the
police department whose duty it was
to find Miss Cruger's body.
Mrs. Humiston today emphasized
the Importance of having Alfredo
Cocchi, who is formally charged with
Miss Cruger's murder, brought back
from Italy. where he fled after Miss
Cruger disappeared. She declared
that II the authorities can get a
statement from him me will involve
SO many important people that the
case will be one Of the most sensa-
tional ever exposed in this country"
Search for possible victims who
may have shared a fate similar to
that of Miss Cruger was begun by
the police today in every shop or
cellar occupied by Cocchi since he
came to this country.
For two hours today Mrs. Marie
Cocchi, wife Of the fugitive, was
questioned at the district attorneys
office. She insisted she knew moth

BOYS & GIRLS
CLUBS DOING
THEIR ''B|T''

The boys and girls Of Cache county
nearly 400 strong, who have enrolled
in club work. are all doing their
share toward the increased produc-
ton OF crops and the conservation
OF the food supply. Their title of
Soldiers Of the Commissary." given
to them by the government Of the
United States. is taken seriously and
each one is putting forth every effort
in an endeavor to feed the nation
adequately.
The organizations consists OF the
following projects: Hogs and crop,
sugar beet production. potato grow
ing. poultry raising. gardening, can
ming of fruits and vegetables, cook
ing, flower gardening, and sewing.
The successful completion of these
projects is of vital Importance to the
nation, and this the clubs realize.
The people OF the county and the
state are aware of the Importance
of the movement, and are very anxi-
Gus and willing to give the boys and
girls every encouragement. This is
now taking form in substantial
way. many fine premiums being CIV
en- to help keep up the interest. How
ever, the biggest and best premium
is that offered by the United States
government, viz: an opportunity for
each boy and girl to show his patriot
ism for his country. Every true
American boy and girl will, Of course,
live up to these expectations.
A complete list of the other premi-
ums offered will be given out in the
very near future.

The weekly report OF losses to
British shipping sunk by submarines
or mines has again reached alarm
ing proportions. 1t shows an in
crease over the reports of the past
xix weeks in tonnage destroyed.
The latest figures. twenty-seven
vessels OF over 1900 tons and five I'M
der 1900 tons, place the losses in the
first category higher. except during
the weeks ending April II and April
2S, than during any similar periods
since Germany's intensified subma-
rine campaign began. During the
later weeks forty and thirty-eight
merchant men, respectively, were
sent to the bottom.
On the fighting fronts in France
the British forces have recaptured
important positions from the Ger
mans east OF Arras, while the Ger
mans in the Champagne region have
gained a foothold in French first
line trenches.
Germans Attack in Force.
The British gain was made east OF
Nonchy lie Preux, where Monday the
Germans, under cover of violent
bombardment drove back the British
and occupied their trenches. Be-
tween the Ailette river and Moulin de
Laffaux the Germans in strong at
tack. in which huge effectives were
used, captured section Of a trench
held by the French. The attack was
delivered over a front of about two
thirds of a mile and followed violent
bombardment OF the French line.
Near Lens the Canadians, in an as
sault on a position held by the Ger
mans which was barring the way to
the coal city, routed the defenders
and captured the trenches and incor-
porated them into the British lines.
The Germans in vicious attacks en-
deavored to regain the lost terrain,
but were beaten off.
Italians Resume Offensive.
In the Austro-Italian theatre the
Italians on the Asiago plateau, south
east Of Trentino. are again develop
ing the offensive which last week
gave them considerable territory, but
which was stopped by weather con-
ditions. The Rome war office re-
ports the taking of formidable po-
sitions on the plateau and the cap
ture of more than 1000 officers and
men, besides inflicting heavy casual
ties on the Austrians, who strenu-
ously resisted the advance.
The expected general engagement
along the Macedonian front has not
yet developed, but on various sectors,
notably in the Cerna bend and north
OF Monastir, the artillery activity has
again increased.
