Sheep RAISING in the East,

If the abandoned farms could be
utilized for sheep-raising. it will be a
long way togard reducing the cost Of
living in this country. The sheep in
dustry was originally started on the
Atlantic seaboard, of course; but it
has worked its way westward until
now there are only few sheep breed
ers in the East. That the industry
can be brought back to the East is
sure thing. Sheep, it is we'll known.
are the most economical domestic ami
mails produced, They can live on al
most nothing. It has been estimated
that every sheep in the United States
produces a profit Of $40 annually. If
we can bring back the industry to the
eastern states and use the abandoned
farms for grazing, we shall very soon
make dent In the high cost of liv.

plain. Chinese colorings and motifs
are popular, and many hats are trim
med with Indian beads of wood in
many bright colors-so far apart are
our sources Of inspiration.
The hat at the center of the group
has q noticeable crown, wider at the
top and bottom than at the center. In
passing, it is worth mentioning that
crowns tend to height. This shape is
covered with cornflower blue silk hav-
ing stripes or gay cclors. There is
fitted collar of black satin about the
crown and a cockade of narrow black
ribbon at the front.
The hat at the right is a similar
model made of grass-green braid and

ARE YOU EFFICIENT?
HERE is A TEST WHICH MAY 6E
OF INTEREST.
Anyway It's One Which Very Few
Persons Find 1t Easy to Master,

Should Fail.

Are YOU efficient? The awful query
refuses to down. The clocks tick 1t,

pany advises you to give your name

Blessed be the concrete of thought,
if not Of heed. Concreteness enables
you to see just what the efficiency

Fretz Kemble, tells in Industrial

CLEANSING the Mind.

There are kinds of illness that clear
the system, and there are kinds that
spread through the system q subtle
infection. There are wounds that
heal from the outside and that tester
within. In the mind and the spirit
there may be conditions precisely SIM
liar. Now, everything depends on the
treatment, upon getting at the deepest
causes, sometimes so far away as to
be almost beyond detection. When we
trace the causes we are almost GER
tain to find them associated with some
dafect of character. It is this defect
that must be treated. The wound may
be only the clamoring of health, under
the circumstances a blessing in dis
guIse, bringing warnings and incen-
tives.-John d. Barry. in New York

PRAISE OF MOTHER MANAGER
Woman Frequently Has All the High
saIaried Experts Beaten to
Complete FRAGILE.

In the clamor and confusion over
the high prices, we pause to pay honor
where honor is due. We refer to the
little woman, with Il family Of four or
five, who keeps her family together
and the wolf away from the door on
SIS week.
Efficiently engineers and high-sal-
aired financial experts should take off
their hats to the business manager OF
the S15-a-week home. She buys the
groceries and prepares the meals,
clothes the children and sends them to
school. keeps herself and her husband
looking respectable, pays the doctor
bills and guards the family against
debt.
No deliberately planned budget
shows where each penny should go
nor what to buy and what not to buy.

the family will be financially q year

CHAPTER XIII.
DehacIe.

The Trouble, meantime, was closing
in upon the scene of tragedy with little
less than locomotive speed. Whitaker
applied the reversing gear; then, while
the engine reversed with a heavy and
resentful pounding in the cylinder
heads, he began to strip off his coat.
The boat, moving forward despite the
resistance of the propeller, drove
heavily against the wreck, broadside to
its stern. AS this happened Whitaker
leaped to the wreck just in time to
grasp the coaming and hold on against
the onslaught of a HURTING comber.
Thunderings benumbed him. and he be-
gan to strangle before it passed. i.
He found himself filling his lungs
with free air and fighting his way to-
ward the cabin doors through the Wa
ter waist deep. In another breath he
had torn them open, wide, discovering
the woman, her head and shoulders
showing above the food as she stood
upon 4 transOm, near the doorway,
grasping a stanchion for support. Her
eyes met his. black and blank with ter
ror. He snatched through sheer in
>tinct at 4 circular life preserver that
tloated out toward him, and simultane-
ously managed TO crook an arm round
her neck.
Again the sea buried them beneath
tons of raging dark water. Green light
nings flashed before his eyes, and in
his ears there was Il crashing like the
crack Of doom. His head was split

The wave passed on, roaring. He could
breathe. Now if ever
As if stupefied beyond SenSibiIity,
the woman was passive TO his hand
ling and he managed somehow TO drag
her from the cabin to the cockpit and
to jam the life ring over her head and
under one arm before the next wave
bore down upon them.
They came to the surface in the hol-
low of a deep, gray swalc fully fifty
feet from the wreck. Whitaker re-
tanned his grasp of the life-preServer
line. The woman floated easily in the
support. He fancied 4 CLEAN of live
lier consciousness in her staring eyes,
and noticed with q curiOusly keen feel
ing Of satisfaction that she was not
only keeping her mouth closed, but had
done SO, apparently, while under water.
Then suddenly, the lift of a wave dis
covered to him the contour of the
shore. Instead of being carried in to
the rock-strewn beach, they were in
the grip Of q backwash which was
