MANY SHEEP KILLED YEARLY
Estimated Tha1 in Thirty-Six Farm
States 100000 Are Killed An
nually by Dogs.

The number of sheep killed annu-
ally by dogs cannot be stated exactly,
since there are many cases which are
not reported at al.
Judging from the figure in those
counties and states in which reason
ably complete reports are Obtainable.
however, it may be said that in the SO
farm states more than 100000 sheep
are killed each year by dogs.

Two-Toned Lawn.

One of the cotton fabrics just COM
ing out is two-toned muslin which is
lovely as a rainbow. 1t seems strange
that this has rot been done before, for
two-toned silks have never lost their
charm. Green and pale geld, rose and
French blue. violet and mauve and
dozen other combinations are bewilder-
ingly beautiful. Some OF these fabrics
have borders and others may be used
with the new border material which is
oftener than not decorated with Per

From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Poultry owners who wish to obtain a
satisfactory production of eggs dur
ing the fall and early winter should
arrange to hatch pullets in March or
April. Birds Matched at this time will
be well matured in the fall Further
more, a greater proportion of them
will go broody early in the spring,
thus completing the circle necessary
for production in the fall.
Pullets Matched in the spring can
be induced to lay more abundantly in
the winter if they are properly fed,
housed, and handled. On the average
general farm, very few eggs are Sc
cured at the time when eggs bring
the highest prices. 1t will pay the poul-
try owner, therefore, to devote a lit
tie trouble to providing his birds with
the most favorable surroundings for
the winter.
The house should be thoroughly
cleaned, disinfected, and made tight
before the cold weather sets in. If the
house has dirt floor, it is well to re-
move three or four inches of dirt from
the top and to replace this material
with dry gravel or sand. On cement
or wooden floors four or five inches
of fresh straw or litter may be thrown
down after the floor has been cleaned.
Ventilation Is Important.
Ventilation is another important fac
tor to consider. The house should be
tight on three sides, but for the fourth
muslin curtains may be used for from
one-third to one half its extent. In
any case, there should be some ven
tilation in the house, even on the cold
est nights. Fowls will stand consider
able cold air, provided it is dry. and
ventilation will keep the air thorough
ly dry in the house. On the other

REGULATING Ninht Street Traffic.

Experiments are being made by the
police of Glasgow with a new method
for the regulation of street Yehicular
traffic at night. At two of the most
crowded crossings in the central dis
trict of the city the constables are
provided with helmets to which are
attached small electric lamps, con-
trolled by a battery carried in the
coat pocket. The lamps show the po-
sition of the constable and indicate
to which lines of traffic the crossing is
clear.

night for nine nights before Christi mas this celebration is held.
 The celebration is as follows: A large olla is secured and into it are put candies and fruits, etc. This is covered with tissue paper or some thing of the kind to represent an ani- nal, a fruit, a vegetable or a. person. This is hung up in some large room, or best, outside on some kind of a, pole or beam with a rope tied to it. Any person participating is allowed to try to break it after this treatment He has handkerchief tied over his eyes and is allowed, after this, to go up and touch the olla with the stick so as to gain some idea of the position Of the olla. He is then taken three steps from the olla and then spun around until he is quite dizzy and then is permitted to take three steps back to the olla. If he is likely to hit it the first time, the olla is drawn up. and thus it continues until the ones pulling the rope think it is time for the pinata to be. broken. Then, of course, the nuts and candies fall out and all scramble for them.
 Last year Miss Salmans had a very successful pinata (the word pinata is pronounced pen-ya-ta) held in the west wing. It was impossible to draw the pinata up and this did away with a great deal of the fun. This year the students each contributed or 10 cents and very successful pinata was held on the stadium. This pinata was dressed to represent woman, and she certainly was the heroine of the day. Each class had a representative at each one of the gates of the stadium so as to let the class members in,
 After a great many trials, the pinata

to be a very enjoyable affair. On ac- count of the great war expenses this dance is not going to exceed $25. Ger tain restrictions have to be followed by all attending this dance, such as no smoking on the grounds, no joy riding in the midst of the party; girls cannot sit in windows on account of being liable to catch cold. Neverthe- less this dance is being looked for ward to by everybody who is eligible; also students who are not yet seniors are wishing that they were.
 Rumor reports that Miss Chowning | hasn't changed bit since last year in regard to her ways of teaching. If a student hasn't brought his book to class he has a zero record for the day.

 An old branch of work which is talk ing on new form this year is the freshmen English work In past years ''The Odyssey was studied the first semester. Scotts Lady of the Lake and Cooper's The Last of the Mohi- cans" the last semester. This year "The Lady of the Lake" was studied first and then '"The Odyssey" The students were supposed to get through with "The Lady of the Lake" in two terms, but didn't quite do it. This will necessitate a very short review of The Odyssey" The second semes- ter it is expected that they will study "The Last of Mohicans," and "The Merchant of Venice" which is taken out of the sophomore course. Along with this course in literature, the freshmen are taking up a great deal of grammar. It has been found in past years that students taking foreign languages did not know enough of English grammar to get along well in foreign languages; that is, if they had not had quite a stiff course in the grades. Stress in the grades varied or grammar, and so the freshmen, much to their distress, are getting a full dose of grammar. A good part of the period each day is spent in grammar 4>OT IS tIllS grammar the regular grammar studied in the past. Int teachers are taking for granted tha the pupils know no grammar at all and in this way it is certain that the, will improve in their daily use O grammar and that they will do bette in their foreign languages.

 Corn receipts were still disappoint- ingly small, and the United States vis- ible supply total showed only a slight enlargement. Bulls had the advantage throughout the entire session. Busi- ness was of a noticeably restricted character.
 Buying ascribed to export interests had a good deal to do with the advance in oats.
 Announcement of the letting of inn mense government contracts to pack ing houses strengthened provisions | Profit taking sales, however, caused a ! reaction.

EIGHT HUNDRED ARE
 ADDED MESA LIST

MESA, Dec 24.-Yesterday was a wonderful day in Mesa for the Red Cross. At the close of the campaign, which was kept up until late at night, there were 800 names added to the roll of the local branch. Taking into consideration the fact that the drive did not begin until 3:30 o'clock on Friday afternoon, over day and half after the start was scheduled to begin, it was a wonderful showing, in- creasing last years membership by 150 per cent.
 Too much cannot be said in praise of the faithful men and women who stayed on the job until the work was well done Quite a number of women took their shift at the booths. Busi- nesslike matrons, ably seconded by the winsome smiles of the younger set lifted in unceasing flow the dollars from the pockets of the good natured passers-by. Dan Hilbert was the one worker who forgot to rest. As chair man of the committee he was on hand from the opening of the booths until | the last name had been added to the roll of those of whom it may be said, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy"
 In mentioning the work done here [ should be stated that the community effort included not only Mesa, but Lehi, Alma and the surrounding couh- try all added their share to the fund of the Red Cross.
 Soldiers Are Grateful
 Yesterday was khaki day in Mesa In addition to the youthful. soldiers tof the national army who were here on furlough from Camp Funston, there were several of the regulars down from Granite Reef. These latter wish to express in most emphatic phrase their gratitude for the splendid Christ mas dinner sent up to the Reef fol their holiday feast. There were tur- keys and fruits from Phoenix, and other "fiXin's" from Mesa. The boys are sincerely appreciative of the hos | pitality of the Phoenix and Mesa Rec Cross, which are responsible for the delightful repast to be enjoyed by the men who are guarding the water sup ply of the Salt River valley.
