The reasons are clear for the pres

sent prices soaring, demand several
times in excess of supply.
Sheep are not so numerous in the
United States as they were 10 years

sheep stock in 1900, Uncle Sam can

not be as great this year as it has
been heretofore.
There is also tremendous short
age of wool in the United States. Au.
thorities tell us we need 10000, 900
pounds annually as against 100000
600 pounds actually produced. Cut
off as we are now from other wool
producing countries, the wool situa-
ton is serious in the United States
and there is urgent need for County
Councils and farmers in the state to
take the utmost precautions with ref
erence to conserving the wool sup
ply.
1.-THE law regarding the preserva-
ton of sheep from the depredations
of dogs is sufficiently strong and
makes the penalty for losses rest
upon the owner of the dog doing the
damage.

that County Councils bring this mat
ter to the attention of the district

CUBS BACK FROM STRENUOUS
TRAINING TRIP

BY Mark Shields
The Cubs are home from their
CrOss-cOuntTy training trip. They
arrived this morning and joined the
second squad under Jim Sheckard,
which arrived yesterday A practice
session. was put in today on the
North Side and the same program
will be followed tomorrow. Jim
Archer worked out with his mates for
the first time this year.
Sheckard and Mitchell had a long
conference regarding some of the
men under Jim, but it was believed
only one of the yannigans was rec
commended. He is. Dutch Reuther,
sOUthpaw pitcher and first base IN

Their has been hitting the ball sound
ly and has played first base in a
creditable manner. He will be need
ed in case Vic Safer is injured.
Chief interest as to the makeup
Of the team that will face Pittsburgh
Wednesday centers on second base. |
1t is strongly limited that Mitchell
will use ROllie Zeider at that bag.
But, in the face Of these reports, we
see Doyle at the keystone in the last
practice game of the year. If Larry
is not to take the field Wednesday, |
why was he played against Mime
apOlis.
Doyle isn't in first-cIass condition. |
That is admitted. But his injured
ankle is in better shape than was to
be expected, considering the training
program mapped out. It will be no |
surprise to see him out there in har-
ness Wednesday.
Several Of the war correspondents
have been sending back stories that

Deal will start playing third base
for the North Siders at 3 p. M.
Wednesday, and will continue every
afternoon throughout the season,
unless injured. He is the cleverest
fielder and clearest thinker the Cubs
have had at the station since Harry
Steinfeldt, and his hitting will not be
weak. Deal is a real ballplayer, and,
before the end of the season, will be
a star on the North Side and favor
ite with the fans. a

three hits yesterday. That was good

and should get much work during
the season. He was an earnest la
borer last year, though his services
were not highly appreciated finan-
cially. He had no big league repu-

Jim Vaughn is a sure starter in the
box Wednesday. Wilson or Elliott

Rowland is still undecided as to his
pitching selection for the opening
