SHEEP TO CUT WAR COST.

A Montana man with a good Amer gan name. Lester Work has bought 5O,OOO sheep in Mexico and 1t to turn them loose in a federal forest reserve section in Montana as soon as they are sheared. How so many sheep lived through the hungry wars of Mexico is a mystery but they should be thrifty ornaments in 6 section of the 70o,000,000 acres Of government forest reserves in this country.
 At the rate of an acre fer a sheep those great acres of forests should pasture 7OO00OOOO sheep; with wool selling for 50 cents and more a pound they should turn profit of at least s per head annually while the war lasts and that from 7OO.000,OO0 sheep means $S.5OOOOO.OOO to the Unite5 Statse each year. with the nocks lef intact at that.
 This is one of the ways to figure ou the millions of dollars for the wal bill, The sheep would never make half the objection to such military service as men do. And the way wool

Somebody as got to lassoo and hog tie science, or the world will be re- moved from American men of 40 years of age upwards and they'll find them selves enmeshed in 8 lot of new-fan- gled entanglements, so to speak.
 Note the proposition seriously con- sidered by that American Assn for the Advancement of Science.
 First, they propose to adopt the me tric system of weights and measures. and then youll buy your bacon by the yard and your eggs by the ounce. Why those foreigners have got the thing figured down 30 fine by their blamed metric system that you can go Into the markets and buy chickens feet end heads by the kilometer, or some other meter, if you're hard pressed for soup meat; and there are places where the charge for your bath Is based on the weight of soap you use.
 Of course, the American assn scien- cers are hot for the daylight saving plan, the fixing of time pieces so that you'n have to get your watch repaired daily in order to be able to tell wheth- CT you're in Connecticut or Missouri.
 Again, take your 7-year-old boy on your knee and ask him to read from his little red-and- d-white Christmas book. Does he tackle those words with an alphabet? He does not He puck CTS his mouth and blows, or num- hles, or buzzes. or misses, and you find coming out of him wordo like de nunciation," "precrastinatlon," etc, like molasses out of a jug in August and you remember that at his age you were stuck with the word "cat" be. cause it didn't begin with a "k".
 Gents who are at the top of the hill or slipping down tho farther side, science Is changing everything. Your ounces will be grams, your yards will be meters. your immortality will be eugenics. your reading will be 0 buzz or hiss

Can Permit Draft Men to Enlist.

No member of a fire or police de-
partment in active service in any city
will be accepted for the United States
guards unless he presents a written
authority from his chief, according to
a telegraphic order received from Ad-
jutant General Mccain of Washington
by Maj. c, n. Barney, in charge OF
army recruiting for Colorado and Wy
oming. Officers of the navy and the
marine corps emphasize that men OF
draft age still voluntarily enlist in
those services by presenting a certifi-
cate from their local boards stating
that their numbers come so low on the
lists that they will not be needed to
fill the next draft quota. The army,
too, is still enlisting men below or
above the draft age, within certain
limits; that is, between 1S and 21 and
between 81 and 40 years.

New York had not yet outgrown
certain of its old-fashioned or so-caIled
provincial habits. One of the customs
was that of making New Years calls,
a practice that had been inherited from
the Dutch founders of the city. Long
before the beginning of the twentieth
century the growth of the metropolis
hP 4 made impossible this pleasant and
convenient habit Of coming into touch
Cat least once a year, with a circle of
family friends, but in 1866 the ladies'

what they could In the hours between

or their mothers.

Denver-An average net profit Of
50 cents ton on ores smelted in
Colorado is obtained by the smelter
operator, according to the report of
the mine and smelter investigating
committee named by the Twenty
first Legislature. The figure is OBJ
tanned by subtracting an allowance of
81 cents a ton for depreciation, inter
est, taxes, etc." from the average
gross profit for the past five years, ac-
cording to the report. Smelling cost,
the report finds, averages 3.5 per
cent of the value of the ore.
Capitalization of Colorado smelters
is s2,7O0, 900, and their earnings for
five years have averaged 3.97 per
cent on turnover of approximately
s17,OOO,0O0 worth of ore a year.
The report recommends introduction
of a system of licensing samplers, in
spection of samplers equipment, re-
duction of the minimum" in lead ores
from five to three per cent and intro
duction of a simplified schedule OF
treatment charges at the smelter.
The greater portion of the document
is devoted to a report made to the
committee by Prof. o. R. Whitaker. a
mining engineer, employed by the
committee as an expert. 1t is de-
voted generally to the so-called lead"
