A TOWN WITH NINE LIVES.
(By Col. +. Hofer.)

In spite of killing its nine million
dollar q year hop industry Salem
seems to be a town with the nine
lives of cat.
With nine state institutions it's
people patrcniZe only one of them
the only one that charges admission
the state fair
After putting up for the Fourth
Liberty Loan this strange town has
more bank deposits than at the be-
ginning of the war.
Salem has no people in the poor
house-all the picture shows are
crowded week days and Sundays and
some churches are out debt.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is patronized On
account of its swimming pool where
the Assistant Postmaster and his
wife instruct without pay.
Only one real Salemite has died
here in many years-many move IN
from the country and from other
states for the pleasure of being
buried in Salem.
Newcomers here who become ac-
climatized and adopt the ways of
living of the real inhabitants stick
around and get great deal OF
pleasure out of life.

Whale Meat.

Whale meat is by no means new
food to human beings. Since time i'm
memorial the Eskimos of the Hudson
bay and Alaskan coasts have eaten it.
It was and still is one Of their main
food supplies, as well as giving oil for
fuel. AS is we'll known, the whale has
a very small throat, averaging in the
largest about ten inches in diameter.
Thus it can swallow nothing large. II
lives on various forms of pelagic life,
very minute creatures which whalers
call brit" and upon shrimps, herring
and various small crustaceans.

The Committee on the prevention
of the spread of Spanish Influenza
has taken this opportunity through
the columns of the local papers TO
inform the public that owing to the
seriousness of the disease we want
to do all in our power to prevent its
spread. 1t is thought advisable for
the people to know that it is of great
help to use good antiseptic gargle
and also to wash out the nose several
times a day after being around a
public gathering Of any kind. Either
of the drug stores will be able to fur
nish the solution. AS soon as case
develops in this community very
strict precautions will be taken. As
yet no cases have been reported in

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
MAKING WOOL GROWING
PARAMOUNT.

In times past, and on numerous
occasions, this paper has urged tht
probability Of the farmers Of Nor
row county placing small bunches O.
sheep on their places. This fail is ;
season when every farmer OF tht
county would be ahead if he has
anywhere from fifty to 500 head o.
sheep on his lands, according to The
size Of his holdings There never
was better pasture and it should be
consumed.
The following from The Manufac'
turer, not only sets forth facts touch
ing the point in question, but il
gives another data with reference tC
Making of Wool Growing Para
mount" that should be we'll con-
sidered at this time. The article
says:
In various western state fairs it
was noticed less attention was paid
to the sheep and wool industry than
It deserved
There are few farms in the state
that could not afford to keep from a
dozen to fifty sheep and improve the
farm and its finances.
They make a living with half a
chance, are great browsers, and
help keep down weeds and under
brush and fertilize the land.
At present price Of wool fifty sheep
would put from $500 to s400 a year
in the owners pocket to say nothing
of lambs and mutton.
Instead of sheep and wool prOduc-
tion declining several hundred mil
lion pounds of wool additional could
be grown in western states.
April 25 warehousing and grading
of wool was taken over by the federal
government and Portland is the
wool center for the west.
Fifteen million pounds of wool
will be handled there this year by the
government, and distributed direct
from growers to woolen mills.
These woods are grown in Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana and
Wyoming, and California gets these
graded wools from Oregon.
Formerly the dealers bought wool
in sacks and usually at the value of
the lower grades, then sorted and
sold at the higher values.
Now the woods are sorted for the
grower and he gets the full value for
each grade and in 100000 pounds
there may be thirty grades.
A carload of wool from the shear
ing sheds weighs $4,000 pounds, and
when graded and compressed to
government standards weighs 50,-
900 pounds.
This is a saving of from fifty to
seventy-fve per cent on the wool
clip of the west on freight alone,
besides saving cars.
Conditions are changing and there
is not a good reason why wool and
sheep growing should not become
the paramount livestock industry.
