Town Burns; 1000 Sheep Poisoned.

Fairplay, Colo.-Five hundred of
flock of 5000 sheep belonging to Har-
old Chambers of Hartzell were dead in
the pens Saturday morning when the
herders entered to care for them. Dur
ing the day about 500 more died, and
the evidence is that the animals were
poisoned Saturday night, after work
ing all day, the flock masters believed
they had overcome the epidemic and
will be able to save the others. Mr.
Chambers believes that the sheep
were poisoned. This is the third loss
of the last two weeks, and has caused
considerable uneasiness. Friday night
Alma, a small mining town near here,
was almost destroyed by fire. Two
weeks ago the haystacks at a ranch
near this city were burned by fire
from a cigarette, and the owner be-
lieves the fire was started with intent
to destroy his hay and farm buildings.
These three losses are blamed upon
a coterie of I. W. w. here, especially
as the owner of the farm property be-
lieves he has traced the destruction of
his hay to one of them.

Mental Preparedness.

children trained from the very
start to self-expression enter school
with invaluable mental preparedness
for the work to be done there. They
have poise that keeps them from
being diffident in class. They are not
afraid to ask questions" declares q
prominent educator. "They know how
to tell what is in their mind. In asso-
ciating with other children they get
more joy from it because they know
how to make themselves understood.
Older people find them more charm
ing and interesting.
effective training toward self-ex-
preston in the young child means that
characteristic of life, and there is no
training more effective than telling him
stories and teaching him how to tell
them.
Asking about a child's doings will
encourage him to tell you about them.
For instance, when your little boy
comes home from a walk get him to
tell you all that he has seen while
out. When he comes in from play
get him to tell you all about the fun
he has been having.
always make him feel your vital
interest in his thoughts and actions"
