Several things are needed to bring sheen
raising back to northeastern farms:
Farmers must be made to understand
that conditions have changed from what
they were thirty years ago. All the meat
and wool that we are likely to produce
are, needed. Educational work must be
carried on in the proper care Of sheen.
Sheep will not thrive without proper at
tsntion. but they do not require as much
care az other stock.
Sheep must be made more valuable in
the minds Of the public than dogs, Dogs
kill moro than $2.50O.OOO worth of sheen in
this country every year. A law control
ling the stray and worthless dog should
be enacted and then enforced. Banks are
usually willing to finance the bringing in
OF more live stock. Farmers should take
advantage Of this help.

join NAVY, HOPE
TO SEE Fighting

Deciding the navy offered q better
chance to see active service with just
as much adventure, Theodore l. Bris-
toll and George f. Hatcher, two young
plantation men from the Big Island,
have enlisted at Pearl Harbor.
When they arrived In Honolulu over
a week ago they asserted that they
intended to enlist in the field artillery,
but afterwards changed their minds
when assured they would soon be
transferred from Pearl Harbor to the
Atlantic They both enlisted in the
engineer department and hope to be
assigned to the former German gum
boat Geier when it leaves the islands.
Bristol's home Is In Connecticut,
and Hatcher's in Minnesota, but both
have lived in the islands for the last
two or three years. To show that they
are not superstitious, both the naval
recruits took their service oath on
Friday, July 13.
Frank Dodge. former Punahou foot
BAH star and for the past year terrific
rial ranger on Hawaii, also enlisted
at Pearl Harbor last week. He coined
on as seaman, and like Bristol and
Hatcher hopes TO be assigned to the
Geier, with the prospect of seeing
active service In the Atlantic.
