That Ammunition Don't forget to

in Building II as the holiday season
approaches. If there is a cousin, aunt.
sister, or any other relative or friend
that hasn't Leen written to within the
last fe p days, the secretaries of the
building would like to know where
they are. On Sunday over 2 900 pieces
of mail were turned in by the men and
they are still going strong In the
words of the man who made Battle
Creek famous: There's a reason.
The building was again visited by it's
official godmOther Mrs. III. S. Tinker,
of New York City, on Friday evening.
In a simple, yet graphic manner, she
told the story of some of the expert
ences of her daughter who has been a
nurse along the front somewhere in
France" and is now in Italy. The men
showed the deepest interest in the mar
rative and were very vigorous in their
applause. Miss Baldwin, of Canada,
again sang several numbers in her
usual YER pleasing style, and she was
selected by the men to be
their godsister. Through the generos-
ity of Mrs. Tinker the audience was
served with refreshments, consisting of
ginger ale, grape juice, excellent jelly
roll and candy.

During the past week there have been
large arrivals of men from various
northern camps. They are now quar-

by the Eighth and Thirteolth regi-

are under quarantine, this building has
only been able to serve them by send

Preparations for Christmas week are
well under way and every effort will
be made to make Building II one of the
cheeriest and cosiest places in camp
during the holiday season. A full pro-
gram of events for the week is now
being arranged and the cooperation
of men is earnestly solicited.
The activities for this week have
been somewhat curtailed in order to
give the men an opportunity to do
their necessary writing and mailing of

DOGS OR SHEEP

The announcement is made that
kentucky farmers interested IN
sheep growing are soon to hold n
meeting IN Louisville, to take steps
toward giving this industry a badly
needed stimulation.
The one great hindrancc to sue
cessful sheep raising in Kentucky
j. the worthless dog. Until the law
i changed and better protection Of
frrrd the farmer against rayages of
the dog. We cannot hope for a ma
tcral increase in sheep production
in this state.
I'm 1860 we had $4,000 sheep in
kentucky and a population Of i,055,-
6Si. while in 1916 we only had iii,-
600 sheep and population more
than double that If 1860. The need
OF more shcep-mOrc meat and more
wool-was never more keenly felt.
And yet We a 'tually have more dogs
than sheep in Kentucky. There is
a great hog shortage in this state,
due in part To- the high cost of feed,
vet we could raise and fatten 10000
head Of hogs with the food that Is
being wasted on worthless dogs.
Very recently the Henry County
Fiscal Court allowed claims to farm
ers totaling $3.50. for sheep killed by
dogs. Thousands Of dollars are paid
annually in this way, and thousands
of dollars worth Of good meat and
wool go the dog route.
There are thousands of acres of
land all over Kentucky suited to no
other purpose than sheep grazing,
but this waste land cannot be util-
lied because of multiplicity of
worthless dogs. Hundreds of farm
ers because Of this are made land
poor.
Kentucky farmers are anxious to
heed their cOuntry's call for more
sheep and more wool. and If the
coming legislature will enact law
placing such restrictions on dogs "a
will permit the farmer to have his
focks unmolested, the sheep indus
try in old Kentucky will soon show
a great Improvement. Other states
have splendid laws protecting sheep
from dogs. and why not Kentucky?
Such law should be enacted as a
war measure.
II is to be hoped that farmers will
write their Senators and Represen-
tativcs and urge the enactment OF
a law that will make it possible to
produce more sheep in Kentucky.

Tunnels OF the AncIenta

Although tunneling is among the

progress has been made In II the last
century than In the twenty centuries
which preceded II. II is now know
that back In the semi-mythical days Of
the Theban kings the long tunnel into

chamber, was a common work. Tn.
