To date 100 sheep have been placed
In the upper peninsula, which is des-
tined 10 become one OF the greatest
sheep raising districts in the world.
w. ID. Raven, live stock specialist
OF the Michigan Agricultural college,
formerly located at Marquette, is In
Clover-Land making arrangements
for the further introduction OF wool
bearing animals in this section. He
is accompanied by ID. f. Davis, OF the
government bureau OF animal indus
tries. The two men will try to in
duce land owners and farmers TO
turn over land to the grazing OF the
sheep.
They are working in cooperation
with a number OF the great western
sheep owners who are forced TO seek
other territory Already 1000 sheep
have been placed and many more
will be introduced in this region at
an early dote. Mr.. Davis is co-operat-
ing with the National Sheep and
wool bureau OF Chicago and is in
touch with the western sheep men
who must find additional land or al
low the industry to decline.
The western growers find that their
opportunities are being reduced be-
cause much OF the land they have
formerly used for sheep raising has
been taken up by homesteaders who
capture areas OF $40 acres. As the
land is cut into sections OF that size
these men are forced out and find
that their territory is being slowly re-
duced. This factor accounts for the
wool shortage OF the present time as
the reduction OF grazing land each
year makes II necessary TO reduce the
herds proportionately,
Another factor that is cutting dowa
the wool crop each year is the ten
dency OF the farmer TO get rid OF his
sheep or at least reduce the herd
Formerly almost have farmer in low
er Michigan and other agriculture
states owned anywhere from $50 to
500 sheep, but now only about one
farmer in ten has herd. These men
have been taking the land that had
been devoted to sheep pasture, tc
place II under cultivation and natur
ally as the pasture was plowed, Il
became impossible to produce any
wool.
Western sheep growers who have
visited Clover-Land declare that the
upper peninsula is one OF the bes
sheep countries they have ever seen
There is much land that is not under
cultivation that would serve the pur
pose This vast area may be turned
over to Craze sheep on with little ex
pense, in view Of these facts it Is be
lieved that sheep will be introduced
here to such an extent that Glover
Land will soon be the center OF {
great wool industry.

WIND AND SNOW CAUSE
SUFFERING-ROADS IN
RAD CONDITION

Winter in the guise of genuine
blizzard struck Michigan Saturday,
continued through until Monday night
in whirlwind style, leaving in its wake
freezing weather not far from the zero
point Tuesday. The gale of wind, ac-
companied with snow Saturday, was
one of the worst early billiards ever
inflicting suffering in Central Michi-
gan. Added to this was the scarcity
of fuel in many homes.
This weather continued Monday, in
a more moderate form, and yet serious
enough to make it almost impossible
to heat buildings.
The snow with the storm was blown
in all directions, forming drifts in
roads and elsewhere. Wheeling in the
country is reported as bad, although
the trunk line were all reported as be-
ing open for traffic Tuesday. Bobs
have taken the place of wheels for
trucking in town, and some stretches
in the country offer better slipping
than wheel bottoms.

MAY ADOPT SLOGAN OF TEN
DOLLARS OR NO
BETS

That 1910 or no beets" will be
adopted as a statewide slogan of the
Michigan Sugar Beet Growers asso-
citation at its annual meeting in Sagi-
nav in January, become a practical
certainly at the Meeting of the Sagi-
nav County Beet Growers associa-
ton in Saginaw, Monday.
Chairman Fred Gosen asked all
present to urge their members to sign
no contracts until after the state
gathering.
A. B. Cook, of Owosso, reported the
result of the Washington conference
of the committee of Michigan beet
growers with National Food Admin
istrator Hoover. Chairman Gosen
had previously urged adoption Of a
resolution favoring 1910 or no beets,"
but on suggestion Of Mr.. Cook this
idea was abandoned, it being the be-
lief that the government might set
an even more favorable price.
"The food administration" said Mr..
Cook, twill ask the sugar manufac-
turers what they are willing to do. We
have already submitted our figures
showing that ton of beets cannot be
produced at cost of less than SO
and Mr.. McGinniss, assistant to Mr..
Hoover, has admitted that our figures
are conservative. We have their as
surance that if the manufacturers
fail to act satisfactorily, Mr.. Mr..
Hoover will appeal to the government
to set price on beets."

ELSEWHERE HUSBAND AND
WIFE WERE KILLED
AT SAME TIME

Corunna, Dec. IA notice of ap-
peal has been filed in the Judge of pro-
bates office by Pearl L. Sawyer, ad-
ministrator of the estate of the late
Ada Baird 81 New Lothrop.
Walter q. Baird, who was an I'M
dertaker in New Lothrop, and his
wife, were killed one Sunday last
summer in Flint when their automo-
bile was struck by street car. Mrs.
Baird lived but few hours after the
death of her husband, both of them
dying the day Of the accident. By the
terms of Mr.. Baird's will his wife
should survive him at least eight
months to receive any of the proper
ty. If she had survived him that per-
iod of time she would have received
all of the property which has been ap-
praised at $12,440, with the exception
Of 81 800 which he willed to his broth
ers and sisters.
The administrators of Mrs. Baird's
estate notified Judge Bush on Novem-
Der 10 that as Mrs. Baird survived her
husband but short time and was I'M
able to elect whether she would abide
by the terms of the will or take
widows share of the estate, he, as ad.
ministrator of the estate, would. in
behalf of her heirs elect so to do. This
election was denied by the judge SO

SOLDIERS FED FOR 39c A DAY
Government Gets Supplies Cheaply by
Buying In Large Quantities.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek.-When
civilians read of the moderate prices
which the government pays for the
commodities it purchases to feed and
clothe It's soldiers, the most natural
first question is why the difference
between the war department prices
and those paid by civilians?"
For December, 1917, the food sta
tisticians have figured that the men
are being fed for 39.38 cents day a
man, and that amount has been al.
lowed. When one considers the quail.
ity Of the food, which Is the best, and
the quantity, which Is plentiful, the
price Is so low that purchases must be
made at a much lower figure than that
charged civilians.
This figure would make the weekly
cost per man $2.76, a month of 80 days
f11.86. For family of five civilians,
which Is accepted as an average fam.
lily, figuring on the above basis, the
grocery bill for the month would be
1925.
There are very few families that oan
keep within that margin and have
meat three times a day and all the
luxurfes fed to soldiers.

STIFF SENTENCE
TO DRUNK SOLDIER
CUSTER SERGEANT PENALIZED
FOR BEING DisoRDERLY
IN UNIFORM.
REDUCED TO PRIvATE'S RANK
Also Sentenced to Be Confined ut
Cantonment to Six Months Hard
Labor at Half Pay.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek.-Arpy
regulations which make 1t crime fol
a man In uniform to be either drunk
or disorderly are not going to be
lightly violated by soldiers of the S5th
division.
Theodore II. Fisher, sergeant In
Co. G, 339th infantry, has been con,
victed by general courtmartial of "be.
ing seen on the streets of Battle
Creek, drunk and disorderly In uni
form and thereby bringing discredit
upon the military service" The sen
tence, which has been approved, Is
that Fisher be stripped of his chev.
rons, reduced to the ranks, and that
he be confined at hard labor for six
months in Camp Custer on half pay.
The blow falls hard because Fisher
won his stripes in the regular army
and was sent to Camp Custer to help
train the new recruits and to show
them, by his example, what good
soldier should be. When approached
On the street, he resisted arrest, re.
sisted being searched and fought the
officers when they put him In cell.
The offense, in the judgment Of the
court, merited severe sentence.
If any doubt existed in the minds
Of the recruits concerning the dc.
termination of the military authort-
ties to keep the ban an intoxicants
this sentence has erased 1t.
The use Of liquor will not be toler.
ated and while every ende, vor will be
made to protect the soldiers FROM
bootleggers and to wipe out the source
of the supply, the army holds that the
men know the regulations and should
abide by them.
This Is not the first non-com from
tho regular army who has been sent
back to the ranks, but 1t is the most
fragrant offense that has come to the
notice OF the authorities.

An epidemic of chickenpox prevails
in Owosso, mostly in the Washington

Miss Rankin Predicts
u. S. Suffrage Victory
Tells Women's Committee
Amendment Will Pass
Congress This Session

Miss Jeanette Rankin. Representa-
tive in Congress from Montana, pre-
dicted at the first meeting Of the newly
formed Women's Committee Of One
Thousand IN the Central Opera House
Sixty-soyepth Street and Lexington
Avenue, last night. that the national
suffrage amendment would be passed
at this session Of Congress.
The Women's Committee describes
itself as a non-partisan organization,
independent of, but rot opposed to. the
suffrage party. Il has as its object the
achievement Of social, economic and
political freedom for women.
Suffrage will pass in the present
Congress- said Miss Rankin, because
there arc so many forces behind IT.
She added that those behind the
amendment are counting on fOrty-three
Representatives from New York, forty
more from the West and seven from
Arkansas, where women vote in the pri-
maries.
we have ninety members, or one
fifth OF the House she asserted. w c
have also one-fourth OF the senate
and are backed by onc-third OF the
electoral vote. or this support we are
absolutely certain, and we are gaining
continually the support of other mem
hers. The bill is now before the Suf-
frage Committee Of the House, and l
can tell YOU that it will report favor
ably upon it. Il will then appear be
fore the House by special ruling IN

Miss Rankin then asked her hearers

mines produce onc-siXth OF the copper
Of the world, and their production Is
being restricted. she declared. because
the employers will not accede 10 the

Miss Rankin also urged that the
Committee Of One Thousand should
make an effort TO have the natura liza-
ton laws changed at once so that an
American woman who married Tor
eigner should not lose her nationality.
"At present" she said, "sn American

chat there is more than one kind OF
service that may be rendered by many
of US. Fighting in the field is not the
sole expression of patriotism. One
can fight for America in the factory or
behind the plough or in the many activ-
