Mountain Sheep Climbs With Safety
and Ease Where No Hunter Would
Dare Venture.

OF all American animals, bighorn.
the mountain sheep, is one of the most
remarkable. Not only is he remark
able in appearance, but he is equally
remarkable In his ability to live, and
live well. in an environment where II
would seem that no animal of such
size could possibly sustain life. There,
on the roof of the world. he not only
sustains life, but, winter or summer.
appears to be fat and In the best OF
condition.
In America there are six species OF
mountain sheep. The largest and best
known is the truly magnificent big
horn, also called Rocky mountain
sheep. Once abundant in the Rock
les, from Mexico to British Columbia,
II is now found only in small scattered
bands. This is due to mans persistent
hunting. 1t is now protected for
term of years in some states, and Is
slowly increasing in numbers.
Bighorn is of q gray-brown color.
with a white or cream-yellow patch on
the hind quarters. A big ram VIII
weigh 800 pounds. The female Is
smaller. Both male and female have
horns, but those of the latter are short
and straight, while those of the ram
are immense and curve back and
around until sometimes they form al
most a complete circle.
The bighorn lives in the most mac
cessible places among the towering
crags of the Rocky mountains, and
travels with ease places in which 1t
would seem no creature lacking wings
could possibly get about. 1t bounds
down precipices which appear to the
onlooker to offer no foothold, and Its
safe arrival at the bottom seems little
less than a miracle. It scales cliffs

A great deal of apparent poverty
comes from dread OF poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry and, ten to one, he is
starving somebody else at the same
time, along with himself. He Is really
poor, for the time being, although he
has a large bank account. Poverty
will come every time as the result OF
the improper attitude toward money
Money is not reality; 1t represents
things that we consider for our good.
But there is no poverty like that Of
the starved soul that shrinks and
dries up into narrowness and compress
sion. In getting the feeling Of
wealth, look about you. See all the
wonders Of nature; believe that won
ders will happen and then get ready
for them. After the days work is
done, build air castles, and then go
In and lay strong foundation under
one Of them. Expect to develop into
efficiency necessary for the bigger job.
The key to this lies In your hands
in doing the little things well.-Pat'

GIRLS MADE GOOD
IN FARM WORK
W0men's Land Army of South Beth
lehem Succeeded in Saving
Many CrOps

South Bethlehem, Pa, probably had
one of the most active organizations
of the Women's Land Army in the en-
tire United States during the summer
just ended. Farmers in that locality
in many instances reaped the largest
crops in history, and they praise the
conscientious and efficient work of the
girls and young women who assisted
them as among the best help they
ever had
Pitching hay is really mans job,
but the girls on the farms near Beth
lehem were ready to try any kind of
farm work, and made fine record in
harvesting the hay crop. The work
for which they showed themselves
best adapted. however, was horticul-
tural They were invaluable in the
truck gardens, wedding onion patches,
picking berries, punching asparagus
and doinng the various o'her odd jobs
that must be done to keep gardens
productive and neat.
Saturday night meant day of rest
for the girls, and they celebrated
with .sings" ordinarily. They also
gave occasional vaudeville and min
strel elbows and dinner parties. Many
of them are college girls and have
gone back to school, but others are
engaging in other forms of patriotic
work, in munitions shops or offices,
during the fall and winter season.
Practically all OF them expect to go
back to the farms again next summer
If the war has not ended by that time.

SMALL REWARD FOR BIG FIND
Man Who Discovered Gold In Aus
traIia Remunerated by the Mag
nificent Gift Of Five Dollars.

The first discovery of gold in Aus
tralia was made as early as 1889 by
a convict servant Of Scotch settler
named McAlister. This man found
nugget of what he rightly conceived
to be gold while tending his masters
sheep near where the town of Ballarat
now stands, and took 1t to McAiisteri
who submitted it to the governor. Sir
George Gipps.
The latter had 1t assayed. and found
that II really was gold, but fearing
mutiny Of the convicts If the truth
were allowed to become known. he
kept his knowledge to himself. Mean
while, he ordered the finder Of the
specimen to be given sovereign ($5)
In recognition of his enterprise"
This is probably the smallest re
ward ever given to white man foi
what was the biggest find recorded In
history, for when, II years later, Ed
ward Hargreaves rediscovered these
same goldfields, many millions sterling
were taken from them In the course OF
a few months.

HOW THE Y. w. c. A.
is AIDING DRAFT BOARD

Local draft boards are now send
ing men in relays to the International
Institutes of the Y. w. C. A., located
in different cities, to have the foreign
language workers in this organiza-
ton assist the men in filling out their
questionnaires.
When the Institutes first offered
their services to the draft boards, the
women workers would go to the
courts or places of registry, and sit
about until called upon. To save this
useless trouble, and facilitates mat
tiers, the boards have decided 10 send
directly to the institu. es, all men OF
foreign birth who cannot speak En-
glish. or who do not readily under
stand what is wanted of them.
The ms .itute itself has put out
small notices in the foreign language
papers, in which they stated that
their workers would answer questions
for anyone who wished draft infor-
nation: local boards said that the as
Stance rendered by these Information
al Institutes is invaluable.
At present, in addition to this work
with the draft boards, the workers of
the Institute are concentrating their
efforts to explain the United War
Work Drive to take place the week
of November 18th, and in which the
Y. w. c. A. is cooperating with the
six other organizations, the Y. NJ. G.

and knights of Columbus. the Jewish

up and swallow pellets of shot lying
in the mud In marshes and shallow

bits of gravel, swallowed to aid di.
gestion, and part of the lead is pro-
gressively absorbed into the system.

sMASQUE OF PANDORA ITO BE PRESENTED AT CAPITOL PARK
iLongfe1low's Classic Will Be Given Under Auspices of County Chap
 ters, Order of Eastern Star

The 'fMasque of Pandora" by Henry w. Longfellow, will be presented in Bir- mingham at the Capitol park open air auditorium by a large cast of local and professional talent under the direction of Miss Cora Belle Morse of New York city and under the auspices of the pefferson county chapters of the Order sbf Eastern Star.
 W The 'Masque of Pandora has been presented by Miss Morse in a number Df eastern and southern cities with bril- liant success. As conducted by Miss Morse, the performance develops a won derfully beautiful pageant, employing more than hundred people, among them many trained voices to render the mu- sical numbers, strong dramatic cast with much costuming and appropriate scenery.
 The proceeds of the two performances, which are scheduled for the evenings of Thursday and Friday, June 2 and 28, will be devoted to the numerous charities supported by the Eastern Star chapters of this district. In perfecting arrange ments Miss Morse will have the CO., operation of many of the most promi- nent matrons and Masons in Birming- ham. The local talent required for the great cast will be drawn from the city's best known amateurs. Organization is now under way and rehearsals will begin frame diately.
 Mss Morse, who is a talented musi- elan and dramatist, comes most highly recommended, and numerous press clip pings of the 'Masque of Pandora" as presented in other cities under her direc- ton, indicate musical and dramatic treat entirely above the ordinary.

LOCAL SHIPPERS
 PROTEST AGAINST
 INCREASE OF RATES
Order No. 20 Shears State Railroad Commission of Powers and Wipes Out
 Statutes, Is Stated
RESOURCES

Shippers in the Birmingham district have filed a protest with Director General McAdoo of the United States Railroad commission against the in creased freight rates under order No. 2S, issued short time ago and which goes into effect on June 25. At a meet ing of the Birmingham Traffic Bureau held yesterday the matter was con- sidered and the secretary manager di- rected to prepare the protest and fer ward it to the director general
 It was stated at the meeting that under order 2S, as interpreted at the regional headquarters in Atlanta, all intrastate rates would be raised to the level of interstate rates after the 25 per cent advance goes into effect, and then an additional 25 per cent added onto that. making 50 per cent in- crease for intrastate shipments as against 25 per cent for goods shipped across state lines. In some instances, it was shown. this would be the equivalent of about 500 per cent in- crease over present intrastate rates.
 The order and the interpretation placed upon it. it was stated, would shear the state railroad commission of all its powers and wipe out the no commodities statute passed by the Ala bama legislature a few years ago.
 Action similar to that taken by the Traffic bureau yesterday will be taken by similar bodies in all southern cities. 1t is understood.
