Lanston Monotype baseball team has

In speaking of the games played in the
league, President Thomas Callaghan says:
"A different spirit has prevailed in our or
ganization thisNyear. On many occasions IN
previous campaigns protests and wranglings
on the field were frequent, but all season
the boys have been content to confne their
work to playing the game, and my duties

only trivial ones, have been registered 1t

who have served ten years or longer. The

Johnny Evers, Jack Coombs, Sam Craw-

With only one or maybe two exceptions,
these have al stood forth as shining lumi-
naries. Leaving out quantity, they have
surpassed in quality as we'll
Whlch Is TO say, that quantity and quail

normally do in many other branches of ex-

LANSING. VISITS SEN. STONE.
REASON CAUSES MYSTERY

Washington, Jan. 8. = Sec'y of
State Lansing today visited the cap
itol and conferred with Sen. Stone,
chairman of foreign relations COM
mittee. Lansing refused to discuss
conference, other tina nto say they
talked of raising $25, 100000. pur-
chase price of Danish West Indies.
Lansing's visit, first of the kind he
has made, followed conferences be-
tween President Wilson and Chair
man Stone of senate committee and
between Lansing and Chairman
Flood and Rep. Harrison of house
foreign affairs committee.
While general concensus Of opin-
ion was that visit concerned peace
situation, some thought Lansing
might have gone to capital to pave
way for Inauguration OF new Mexi-
can policy, including withdrawal of
Gen. Pershing's troops without any
protocol
Visit was generally coupled with

ing fight over Hitchcock resolution

SHEEP RAISING URGED
Uncle Sans Experts Decry Con-
tinued Decline in Industry.
the 3oo,oo0,ooo Pounds Of Wool
Now Imported, 1t Is Said.

Normally, the United States imports
one-half of the wool required for do
nestle consumption, according to
Uncle Sans experts at the depart
ment of agriculture. During the past
| three years importations have ranged
from nearly 25OOOO,O00 to more than
500,O00,000 pounds each year, the av-
erage being over 3OO,000,OO0 pounds.
1t has been found that in some sec
tions of the United States there has
been a steady decline in sheep produc-
ton since the earliest statistical re-
ports of the department of agricul-
ture. This has been true also in every
other settled country except Great
Britain. The explanation undoubtedly
is an economic one, say the depart
mary purposes of sheep growers has
been to produceswool. This cannot be
attained profitably on high-priced
land. Naturally, therefore, 1t is point
ed out, that with the increase in land
values there is a rapid decline in the
number of sheep. In Great Britain
meat has been the principal product
and wool the by-prOduct, and the
sheep industry has flourished.
After studying the problem, officials
say that if American farmers will fol-
low the British custom the industry
can be put on profitable and perma-
nent basis. The greater number of
sheep in Great Britain are raised in
the hills and on land comparable to
much of the waste land of American
farms. The areas in this country, es-
pecially in the East and in, parts of
the South, now relatively little used,
can be profitably devoted, the men
point out, to sheep production If the
farmers will secure the proper breed
of sheep.
Sheep also can be made profitable
on high-priced land, it is said, as Brit
ish experience shows. They compare
favorably with othersauimalS in econ
omy of production. They require a
minimum of expensive concentrated
feeds. They exceed the larger ami
mails in the rate of maturity; lambs
can be made ready for market at
from four to six months. They make
possible the economical and fuller use
of labor. They are of assistance in
keeping the farm free from weeds.
The sheep farm is usually weedless
farm.
A census shows that in the United
States only one in seven farms of over
twenty acres now support sheep, with
an average of one sheep of shearing
age to three acres of land. The 300,-
100000 pounds of wool now imported
annually could be secured, it is said,
from 5O,000000 sheep, and this num-
ber could be added to our stock if
fourth of the remaining farms sus-
tained one sheep for each three acres.
Not so long ago the department can
vassed crop reporters in 36 states in
reference to sheep on farms. The re-
plies indicated, it is said, that the
number could be increased $50 per
cent without displacing other animals.

is abundant there is no excuse for the
economy, but with milk ten and even
fifteen cents quart the expense may
be saved.
The tedious process of creaming the
butter and sugar is not necessary for
an everyday cake; the fat may be
warmed not melted then it mixes
quickly; the eggs beaten and added
first, the whites folded in at the last.
Another and still shorter cut is per-
formed in the following manner-beat
the eggs with the sugar. add flour and
other ingredients used and stir in the
melted butter or fat at the last, then
give the cake good beating and see
what tasty fine-grained cake you
have with little time expended.
When using any fat instead of butter,
salt must be added to bring out the
flavor. Pastry flour is smoother in
texture than bread flour and cakes and
pastry made from it are fine grained
and better texture. 1t does not need
the many siftings which bread flour
seems to require.
Fats skinned from the tops of soups
is vegetables have not been cooked in
it, drippings from roasts and chicken
fat are all good fats to use in\ cake
making. When the fat is melted and
added last, the cake should not be
stirred much until after the fat is
added, then give it a good beating by
stirring before, it seems to tougher the
texture.
Prune cake.-Three eggs, one cupful
of powdered sugar, three tablespoon
fuls of sour cream, two cupfuls of
flour, (two tablespoonfuls or less If you
use bread flour), one teaspoonful of all
spice, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, a
cupful of cooked, finely cut prunes,
half teaspoonful of soda and three
fourths of cupful of melted butter
added at the last, then give good
beating.

American Toilet Articles Popular.

There seems to be rapidly growing
demand throughout the Far East and
Australasia for American toilet articles.
All through China, eastern Siberia, Ja-
pan, the Philippines, Straits Settle
ments, Malay States, and the Dutch
East Indies, and in Australia 1 have
found American toilet articles on sale,
and a demand for larger supply,
writes one of Uncle Sans commercial
agents. The war has practically stop
ped the shipment of such articles from
two main sources France and Eng
land), and the products of third
leading supplier (Japan) meet their
readiest sale in japanese and Korean
cities. This field could be worked up
to a far greater extent than it is at
present, and offers, indeed, one of the
best opportunities for the American
exporter.
