Sheep Pay Well on
Investment; Also As
S~cavengers Of Weeds

BY Harmon kopperud, Emergency
Food Demonstration
The official estimates of the United
States department of agriculture show
that sheep are the only kind OF live
stock hat have decreased in numbers
in the United States, as well as in
South Dakota. 1t might be of inter,
est to know that Codington county has
less than 1000 sheep, according TO
the latest figures compiled by the
county auditor.
The reason for sheep decreasing in
numbers is hard to account for out
side of the fact that they demand par.
ticular attention at certain seasons
of the year.
1t is advisable and practical to have
a few sheep on every farm. II for no
other reason, they can be depended
upon to destroy a great number of our
most troublesome weeds, at some
stage of their growth. Raising sheep
for this benefit alone would be a pro
fitable business, but even remove this
peculiar advantage in the raising of
sheep and it is still a profitable in
dustry.
Lambs turned on stubble after the
small grain has been removed will
make gains where cattle will no more

Plot Fooled by Arrest
lOOPlotters bySecret
Service Department

New York, Sept. 29.-Plans to wreck
machinery in munitions making shops
in America at the bidding of German
agents in Europe are believed by the
police to have been defeated through
the arrests of about 100 Germans and
German s~ympathizers in raids which
began here last night and continued
today.
Many Are Mechanics.
Almost all the men arrested were
mechanics. A number are employed
in muntion plants and on navy con.
tracts. In the possession of some
were found quantities of carborun'
DUN in pulverized form-a chemical
used to destroy delicate machinery,
The men knew one another, had held
various meetings at which police and
navy department agents were present
unknown to them, and had been under
surveillance for many months, accord
ing to the police.
Believed From Germany.
The suspicion is held that the car
borundum reached here from Ger.
man agents in Scandinavian coun-
tries. Emphasis was placed on the
discovery of this chemical, some of it
in the form of lead pencils, in pos.

CAPTURED THE AUDIENCE.
Ned Harrigan's Plea at the Critical
Point In a Play.

Edward Harrlgan once said that the
most trying moment in his theatrical
career occurred III New Orleans soon
after the war between the states. He
had gone south with his company and
yielding somewhat to popular request,
put on 1.-THE Blue and the Gray"
The play had been a success up
north. but down south, with the air
still full of the bitterness of the war,
ii was dangerous experiment. Tony
Hart was to represent the Confederate
gray so he hunted up uniform Of the
Louisiana Tigers and when he came
marching on, young, stalwart, hand
some. the typical soldier boy In the
beloved uniform, the house, men and
women. cheered and shouted and cried
for all their heroes embodied in this
boy.
Harrigan, standing In the wings In
his northern blue, waiting to go on
had Just one thought They'll Kill
me- Then he stepped out, the EN-
bodiment OF the enemy, and a cold
dead silence fell upon the house. Not
a hand moved for him. The audience
was tense with emotion. and there
was only an instant to act If the play
was to be saved.
HarrIgan. big. kindly, good looking
came swiftly down to the front and
stepped over the footlight gutter, lean
ing down to them. "For the love ol
heaven. won't you give the Yankee
! handT he exclaimed.
At once the house was caught anc
all the pentup feeling turned the rign
way. There was a yell OF applause
and the audience was won.

sometimes going into 100 runs. When
the Mutuals In 1870 shut out the Chi
Cages, the score being to 0, 1t created
an excitement all over the country. the
memory Of which lasted for more than
score of years Occasionally even
now we hear of team being "Chi-

Because OF the radical changes In the
rules of the game 1t would be rather
misleading to measure present stand

record In modern history is 1910 in the
National league and 21-0 In the Ameri-

Three times in the National league a
score of 1910 was turned In. The first
was made on July 10, 1893, in a game

\. This week past has been one of edu-
cational value that has not been ig-
nored by the nation. The Importance
of trained efficient nurses in this crisis
of our country's affairs is now well
established. The president has urged
that our local hospitals everywhere be
placed in the highest state of efficiency
as an important step in the interests
of preparedness.
St Joseph's Hospital, Lewiston, has
offered its services to the government
to the full extent of its resources. 1t
is the only general hospital in this
region. 1t is sadly in need of add
tional room to meet the present local
requirements The community and the
nation both require its extension. Its
necessities are now known to all. Citi-
zens of Grangeville get together and
help this campaign for larger st.
Josephs to succeed.

ARMY RECRUITS AND OTHER
"RECRJJITS.v

President Wilson has issued an ur-
GENT appeal for some 10000 men to
come forward this week to fill existing
vacancies In the regular army. When
war was declared the war depart
ment fixed the quota of men to be fur
nished from each state according to
It's population
A recent compilation of enlistments
shows that the northwest states were
the first to fill their quotas. Nevada
is the banner state with 3S2 per cent
Utah, 1856 per cent; Oregon, 161 per
cent; Wyoming, lat per cent; Mon
tana, 100 per cent, and Idaho, 108 per
cent
The solid south and the New Eng
land states are far behind. Mississippi
has only contributed 81 per cent of
its quota North Carolina, % per cent ;
South Carolina, "a per cent; Virginia,
"A per cent; Maryland, % per cent, and
Alabama, 80 per cent. Only three
states of the solid south have con-
tributed more than 80 per cent and
none has exceeded So per cent.
II will be interesting to learn how
many recruits" will come forward
from the solid south to fill the
ranks for the thousands of new jobs
created and to be created by the adj
ministration to handle the war bust
ness and how the percentages will
compare with the states whose sons
have nobly responded to the call for
