DOGS OR SHEEP, WHICH?

There is saying in this country
and it has grown into an adage
that the legislator who desires to
commit political suicide has only
to introduce and father dog law,
and the people will attend to the
obsequies.
Yet the one thing which the
various states stand urgently in
need is just such legislative tim
ber-men who are willing to fore
go political preferment if by so
doing they can confer a great
boon upon the country.
We are told that by the time
another clip is made wool will be
worth two dollars per pound.
This in country than which
there is no better in the world for
sheep raising.
What must be the amazement
or the peoples Of other countries
when they are told that the only
reason Americans are not sheep
raisers is because Of the dog

his dog to his sheep, and if he
must be without either one the
sheep must go.
Statistics tell us that this coun-
try today is maintaining $4,000,
600, dogs-an average Of one to
every family in the land. Plac-
ing the cost Of maintenance at a
conservative figure, these brutes
will consume as much as half
their number Of human beings,
saying nothing Of their depreda-
tons. This is equivalent to feed
ing twelve and one-half million
people or more than it will cost
us to feed every soldier we will
ever send to France.
But the mere feeding Of this
horde of useless animals is by no

expense lies in the great menace
which they constitute to the
sheep-raising industry. We would
not be so unjust to the CANNES
as to allege that all are addicted
to sheep killing, or even would
be if there were sheep available
to be killed. But the uncertainty
as to the guilty individuals brings
the whole race under suspicion.
However, this country is now
paying dearly for it's devotion to
the dog. It is conceded by all
that his dogship is the one great
deterrent to the sheep industry.

country the dog ranges at his own

So long as wool was cheap and

the dog and the sheep was not so
pressing, and the American house

FOR ARMENIAN RELIEF.

The War Council has appropriated
the sum Of 100000 as a contribution
to the American Committee for Arme-
MAN and Syrian relief, to cover the
months Of February and March, 1918,
with the expectation that 100000 a
month for the following four months
will also be appropriated, but making
no commitment to that effect.
The War Council had already given
81, 800, 900 to this committee in the
form of a contribution of 100000 a
month for the last six months of 1917.
The restitution among the Armenians,
Syrians, Greeks and other suffering
