In this statement Spargo, who is a

GRAZING WHITE HOUSE LAWN
President Wilson Sets Example Which
Might Be Followed by Owners
of Large Grass Plots.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
When a flock of sheep appeared not
long ago on the green sward of the
White House grounds, a desire to
match the President in helping to
increase the country's mutton and wool
supply was manifested by many per-
sons whose responsibility covered big
lawns, golf courses and city parks.
Many public parks, golf courses, and
private lawns in the country may be SO
situated that they can profitably be
made to serve as grazing grounds for
sheep. 1t is believed that their use
for grazing sheep would have not only
sentimental value but a practical one.
But owners and persons charged with
the care of such property are advised
to Investigate the matter thoroughly
before they embark in the enterprise
Of raising sheep. Sheep raising in
wolves much more than placing the an
finals in good pasture. It has its
technical side, and at present, when ev-
cry pound of wool and every pound Of
meat is needed, it is felt that expert

low. They extend a little way over
the hand and are finished with mar
row binding Of satin. A bit of white
georgette suggests an underbodice of
this lovely fabric where it shows
through the lace at the shoulders and
above the satin at the square neck.
If this gown started out with dec
laration of independence as to it's out
lines, it makes amends by making the
most of the vogue for long silk tassels.
There is very long girdle of the satin
that is wrapped about the waist,
crossed at the back and Topped over
at the left side. The ends, finished
with long, handsome silk tassels, fall
to the bottom of the tunic and little
below the bottom Of the skirt.
This gown is becoming to almost any
type of figure. 1t is dignified and
quiet, but it is also brilliant. In the
picture a big black satin poppy adds
it's fine silken sheen to the finish OF
an exquisite frock. 1t is in black also

front and back of the bodice between
those at the sides, are pointed at the
top. They all hang several .aches be-
low the waist and the end of each band
is threaded through a bead. Two Of
these narrow silk bands are tackled
about the waist and the bands that are
applied to the bodice are threaded over
and under them and then tackled to
them. The ends hang free.
The same bands in five overlapping
rows are stitched about the tunic just
above its hem. This is all there is to
tell of pretty afternoon gown which
one must acknowledge achieves dis
tinction by the simplest means. The
round neck has picot edge and so

could not be palmer and they fit the
arm from shoulder to hand.

WARNING FOR HUNS.
Germans Cautioned Against
Battle in Quiet Sectors.
Cologne Gazette Says Strong Allied
Forces Only Await Right
Moment to Strike.

Amsterdam, Aug. 3O.-The giant
battle in the west daily is growing
wider and more terrible, says the Co
logne Gazette, and through the Brit
fsh attack north of the Somme the
battle has assumed an unprecedented
extent. 1t declares that even the enor-
mously long fronts In the Russo-Jap-
anese war and the greater offensive of
the present war recede into the back
ground when compared. with the pres
Tent allied offensive.
The newspaper utters warning that
In the calm sectors of the long west
ern front strong enemy forces con-
tinually are ready for an immediate
attack whenever prospects become IA
vorable. Therefore German divisions
must always be held in readiness for
battle on these sectors also.
The greatest need of the moment in
Germany, says the Cologne Volks lei
tung, is "a campaign of enlightenment,
organized by all the competent author
tiles, to hammer into German heads,
II further sacrifices and exertions
are required of US. that it is not
the hobby of some dozen of people in
Germany, nor German obstinacy, but
the enemy's impulse to destruction,
that imposes them on the people at
home and at the front"
"Dishonorable and stupid is the
man. the newspaper continues, "who
toys with the idea of cowardly sur
render of the exalted treasures which
for four years we have successfully de-
tended. or who toys with still worse
ideas which our pen refuses to de-
SCRIBE"

or meat would be too costly. The ami
NAL husbandry division Of the depart
ment of agriculture will answer re-
quests for information from persons
who desire to raise sheep, and has q
number Of publications on the subject
available for free distribution.
Sheep now cost approximately three
times as much as in normal times.
Good commercial sheep at present sell
for from SIG to $40 head.
In any sheep enterprise provision
must be made for the guarding or fenc-
ing in of the flock, for not only are the
animals prone to stray from home pas
lures, but they are favored prey for
dogs, which annually inflict great loss
es on the industry. Winter care must
be provided for, and feed and sheltered
quarters must be available in cold
weather. Persons who desire to raise
sheep are advised to enter the indus
try with view of staying for several
years at least. The gross annual re-
turns from the ewes of breeding age
may be expected to range from SIS to
SIS a head, depending upon the per-
centage of lambs raised. the weight Of
the fleece and the value Of these prod
ucts. The fleece from one sheep av-
erages five to eight pounds and is now
selling for from so to 65 cents pound.
The ewes with good management will
each raise lamb. The lambs at five
months will weigh approximately GO
pounds and will be worth IS cents a
pound and over. The useful life Of a
sheep is about six years.
Flocks Of sheep have been maintain.
ed in public parks in New York and
Boston. and flock once was grazed
on the grounds around the Washington
monument in the capital. The use OF
sheep in lawns and parks has been ex-g
tensive in England. The labor-saving
value of sheep is important. for they
are neat and effective grass cutters.
Sometimes, too, they eat shrubbery and
| flowers, but this danger can be met by
a watchful shepherd or other safe
guards.

NO, WASTE IN ARMY CAMPS
Conservation and Reclamation Divi-
sion Obtains Maximum Utilization
Of All Materials.

One of the most insidiOus pieces of
German propaganda which the govern
ment has to combat appears in the
form Of rumors concerning excessive
wastes Of all foodstuffs and supplies
in our army camps and environments.
A glance at the work of the conserva-
ton and reclamation division Of the
army readily establishes the falsity
of these reports.
The aim of the conservation and
reclamation division Is to obtain the
maximum utilization Of all materials
of service, to reduce the waste Of
these materials to a minimum. to de-
stroy nothing, and to dispose OF all ma
terial useless to the army at the great
est profit possible.
No restrictions are placed upon our
soldiers appetites, but the highest care
Is exerted to prevent the soldier from
taking more on his plate than he wants
lin other words. much of the food
that formerly was lost through care
lessness is now saved. The reclama-
ton officer and his assistants in every
camp and every cantonment are re-
sponsible for the separating and the
classifying Of kitchen waste, produced
in the preparation and serving Of every
meal at the mess; the object Of this
careful separation and classification
of kitchen waste Is to prevent vast
age.
The division also has active charge
of farming and garden operations for
each camp and cantonment. The prod
uce raised is used In rationing troops
and providing animals with forage.
No men At for active duty are re-
CURED to assist in this agricultural
service. The quartermaster general
of the army has much more efficient
plan, for he has this work done by In
termed aliens. enemy prisoners, con-
scientious DIRECTORS and military pris-
oners. OF our own enlisted men only
those physically unsuited for service
overseas or partially disabled are as
signed to this agricultural work. It is
believed that after few months of
outdoor work, many Of the men now
unfit will SO improve physically that
they will become at for transfer to
fighting units. Thus the army. will
reclaim men as well as materials and
supplies.
The boys at the front and at camps
and cantonments In this country also
are setting standard In conservation
and reclamation which is magnificent.
They are doing their utmost to NE
that every penny invested In the cattle
Of democracy. through Liberty Bonds
and otherwise, Is utilized efficiently.
