SHEEP EXPERIMENT PLANT

Senator Brady on January intro
duced an amendment to the agricul-
tural bill providing for an expendi-
ture of $4,000 to equip and main
tain a United States sheep expert
ment station in Fremont station in
Fremont county, Idaho, including re-
modelling of buildings now there
and additions to and the erection Of
necessary buildings to furnish facili-
ties for. The secretary of agricul-
ture recommended an expenditure of
$l2,500 for this purpose, but adj
verse action was taken on the same
by the house committee on agricul-
ture, and the bill came up to the
senate with this item eliminated.
Senator Brady has had up with the
secretary of agriculture the matter
of his further support for such leg
islation and has called his attention
to the necessity oftaction at this par
ticular time, when the passage of the
640-acre bill will cause serious re-
adjustment in the sheep preserves
in the west, particularly in Idaho.
The department appears favorable,
and DR.. Melvin, of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, will probably appear
before the senate committee on agri-
culture at its meeting next week to
urge that something be done in this
matter. Senator Brady has received
telegram from the Idaho Wool
Growers ssociation asking for an
appropriation of 100000, and has
also received like telegram from
the Wyoming Wool Growers associa-
ton, SO that there is no friction be-
tween the two state organizations
over the appropriation or the loca-
ton Of the plant.

DREAMED OF WOUNDS.

Cptain R. H. Sanborn, the young
army officer who made an address
here recently for the war work of the
Y. M. C. A. was the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. E. Hadley in this city Mon
day night. AS many know, he served
two years. in France with the Cana
dian forces, and is soon to return to
the front with a Minnesota regiment.
Captain Sanborn had many interest
ing experiences and a lot of terri
bic ones. He says that the leaders
believe so emphatically in dreams,
premonitions, lunches" etc.. that if
a man believes that he is going to
get killed in a certain action, he is
kept out of it. The night before Cap
tain Sanborn was wounded he dreamed
in detail of how he was to get his
wound and when and where. He told
his brother officers about it at the
breakfast table-and that day he
was wounded exactly as he had
dreamed he would be. He cited 9TH
er instances of where man and Off
GERS had had premonitions of wounds
and death, and how they proved to be
true. Winnebago Enterprise.

the future. But it is not from a
business standpoint that we are adj
vocating a tobaccoless day. We mere
ly mention it because we think that
there is just as much sense in it as
there is in Wheatless day.
And then why not pieless day, a
sugarless day, tealess day, a cof-
feeless day, peerless day, wine
less day, a boozeless day?
Yes, why not close the liquor shops
of America for one day? Not that
the liquor thus saved is needed for
the same purpose as is the tobacco,
but when we are trying to make a
record for saving, it seems that the
government might suggest a saving
in this line that would really be of
some consequence.
The Russian Government abolished
the sale of liquor entirely, long time
ago.
But the liquor interests in this
country have always been so strong
in politics that it is not to be done
here as in Russia. But really it does
seem that our government might,
without giving offense, suggest sa-
loonless day.
It has also been suggested that we
should save gasoline. That is to say,
auto drivers have been asked to shut
Eoff their cars while waiting and to
make as few useless drives as pos
sible. We may need all this power
producing stuff before the war is over.
The gasoline waste in this country
amounts to thousands Of dollars daily.
The government is also going to
prohibit the use of electric display,
for advertising purposes especially
the large electric signs in the big
cities. This is done to save the coal
that goes to make the power from
which the electricity is derived.
All this is but right and proper.

many people may not realize it but
sedition has been a better weapon for
her than soldiers. 1t was Germany's
ability to SOW sedition in Russia that
did more to break down Russia

But the people have not entered in

So far the general public is but
playing at saving.

It would be no hardship for US to

Yes, why not an eatless day?
1t is good thing to fast occasion
ally, but most Of US do not know
anything about it.
We eat from three to five meals
each day and then lunch between
times"
That this is a needless waste of
food goes without saying and that it
lis a bad thing for the health Of those
who practice it is also admitted.
We Americans eat fully as much
for the pleasure of eating as we dc
for the necessity of it.
We can not get together for So
cal evening without stufing ourselves
with expensive "eats."
We can not visit each other with

Everywhere we turn there must be
something to fill up on.
In our big cities thousands Of peo-
pie daily pay for one meal, individ-
ually. an amount that would settle
the board bill of an ordinary person
for several days.
All this waste is awful. It is Grim
