Bells on Sheep Kept Away Dogs.

Bells on Sheep Kept Away Dogs.
The following letter from DR.. Mil
lard, Of Adams, Mass, to Our Dumb
Animals magazine contains sugges-
ton which it would be well to try out:
During my professional career
which extends over period Of half a
century it has been my privilege to
visit farmers who have kept and
raised sheep, and I have observed that
where they have put a strap around
the necks of some of them to which
was attached bell they had no
trouble from the dogs. I feel confident
from long observation that farmers
who own sheep, can, by putting bells
on the some Of the largest and most
active ones, say one to every eight in
number, keep the dogs out of their
focks.
ttThe sound of the bells frightens or
intimidates the dogs. Farmers are in
my opinion too much frightened over
the dog scare, and while the sheep in
dustry is under discussion this method
Of which speak may be of some value
to some one. Whether this suggestion
is new or old it is certainly worth
trying" $.

What We Have to Deal With.


1t is well, of course, to accept with
reservation the information coming
out of Germany. What is accurate
and authentic, what is uncolored and
without motive and what is propagan-
da, not even the most careful and con-
sentative Judgment may disclose. The
time has not come when we can lower
our guard and accept without ques-
ton, the news emanating from those
sources we have had such reason to
distrust. Not Of this character, how
ever, is the advice of the Baden news
paper, Landes Zeitung, that the gov
eminent make new airplane contracts
because "the next war willsbe won in
the air." This is symptomatic. It is a
clear revelation of the German atti-
tude of mind. There may be nothing
but propaganda in the report that the
government what is the government
Of Germany? has protested the shift
of manufacturers from airplanes to
furniture, but even so, the observation
of the Hun newspaper is significant.
It reveals what is in the back Of the

Americans Over the Rhine.


With the Americans Across the
Rhine, December 18.-The first, sec
ond and thirty-second divisions have
completed their march and are patrol
ling the edge of the northern half of
the semicircular bridgehead. The
French are occupying the southern
half. The 42d (Rainbow) division has
taken its position on the left bank Of
the Rhine, north Of Coblenz. The
fourth occupies similar position
south of the city.
The third division, in column 20
miles long, marched up the Rhine
valley today to positions behind
Coblenz passing through the edge Of
the city. The 10th field artillery,
with a mounted band, marched in
along the Rhine Esplanade at dusk.
The above dispatch definitely fixes
the presumably permanent location Of
the 151st artillery First Minnesota)
during the occupation. The 151st is
part Of the Rainbow division.

Mr.. McAdOO and the Law.

The director general of the rail-
roads, by recent ruling, has relieved
railroad employees of the annoyance of
having money to meet their just debts
seized at the source Of garnishee proc
ess. "No moneys or other property"
rules the director general, "under fed
eral control or derived from the op-
Grafton of carriers while under federal
control, shall be subject to garnish-
ment, attachment or like process in
the hands of such carriers, or any of
them, or in the hands of any employe
or officer of the United States Rail-
road administration"
This reads like a decision handed
down from the United States supreme
court. Whether that respectable body
of jurists and the director general of
railroads agree upon the point of law
that might be raised is immaterial.
The director general has decided the
matter, and there's an end ont. That
this new fountain Of final-resort law
does not necessarily intend to leave
the door permanently open for rail
road employee who happens to be dis
honest to escape paying his debts, is
indicated by a paragraph appended to
the above-quoted ruling. IF any rules
or regulations become necessary"
says the director general, "to require
employees to provide for their just
debts, the same shall be issued here
after"
Meantime it is closed season so far
as the garnishee process-severs on
railroad employees wages are con-
cerned. That is, unless some rude per-
son undertakes to have the director
generals decision overruled by appli-
cation to some plain, everyday law
court.-Colonel Harvey's War Week

that Germany is doggedly unrepent-

After-War Building in Northwest

AFTER ar Bulldlng IN NORTHWEST.
Next spring the building trade will
be standing on it's own feet-perhaps
not very sturdily, but on it's own feet
nevertheless. Builders will not be
asking permission to build, and con-
tractors will not be going to Washing
ton Ito get contracts for war struc-
lures. On the contrary they will be
talking with men about home who have
an ambition to put part of their war
earnings into factories, residences, or
income bearing buildings.
When this time comes the northwest
is in line to fare better than any other
section Of the country, and for two
principal reasons. One is that the
northwest has brought more original,
valuable produce out of it's soil during
the war than any other section; and
the other is that the northwest has

been the least stimulated in the build
inor line bv government contracts.

been the least stimulated in the build
ing line by government contracts.
Comparative statistics regarding
building and engineering operations
during the current year on December
1, show that the total Of work done in
the states north of the Ohio and east
of the Missouri is about one billion six
hundred million, as compared with
about six hundred million only in the
year 1914. But the government work
in that territory amounts to thirty
three per cent of the total
This government work has been un-
equally distributed throughout the ter
ritory named, the last receiving the
greater part. For example, New Eng
land received thirty -one per cent; New
York and Northern New Jersey thirty
seven per cent; the district about Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and Washington
forty-fve per cent; western Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio thirty-four per cent.
But the state of Minnesota and the
two Dakotas received only seven per
cent. Before the war the percentage
of government work in these three
states has not risen much above three
per cent.
Where there has been much tempo
rary construction there must follow
much destruction, and in such sections
much time will probably be required
for the readjustment to normal condi-
tions. But in this immediate north
vast the ground is practically clear of
the rubbish of war buildings, and the
increase in the power to build has
been enormous Minneapolis Journal.

Trying to Earn the Reward.

A visitor to small country town
lost his dog, an. animal which he
priced very much.
Rushing to the office Of the local
newspaper, he handed in an adver-
tisement offering five dollars reward
for the return Of the dog.
Half an hour later he thought he
would add to his advertisement the
words: 'No questions asked" So he
hurried off to the office again.
When he got there the place was
empty save for a small boy, who
looked very sulky.
