SHEEP FIT IN WITH FARMING
Produced More Economically Than
Any Other Live stock-oraxe
on Noxious Weeds.

Sheep. in proportion to the value Of
their products, are produced more eco
nomically ON the farm than any other
live stock; the feed and labor require
ments are less. They III In with prac-
tlcally every kind of farming; get
much Of their subsistence from forage,
from grazing weeds and grass that
would not support other stock. They
eat almost no feed that has a value
as human food, and need less grain
than other animals. They add mate
rally TO the farm revenue, but add
very little, relatively, to the farm ex-
pense.

BEST FOR BUSINESS FARMER
Fact Remains That Pureored Animal
10 Best Suited for Utility
Purposes on Farm.

Farmers used to think that pure
bred animals excelled common stock
only In show qualities, and that for
utility purposes they had no addi-
tional value. But II has been proved
that every show point has a Vital con-
pection with utility qualities, and after
all Is said about the uselessness Of
fancy points, the folly OF fine pedi-
grees. and the absurdity of high priced
ancestors, the fact remains that the
pure-bred animal is the common-sense
animal for the business farmer.

THE SHIPBUILDING PLANT


Iron for the decks and hulls Of the
ships which are to be constructed at
the plant of the Virginia Shipbuid-
ing Corporation is now arriving at
that place, and huge cranes are be-
ing used in hosting the plates from
the railroad cars. Many men who
have recently been employed as lab
orers have been furloughed, and with
in the next few days an army Of ship
builders will take their places.
The numerous buildings needed at
the plant are nearing completion, and
the keel of the first ship will be laid
within the next few days.
The Virginia Shipbuilding Corpora
ton has rushed the construction Of
their plant during the past four or
five months. Beginning their labors
in mid-winter, they have toiled in al!
sorts of weather until small town
has grown upon what 4 few years
ago was an unsightiy cove. The adj
ministrative Office, large and i'm
posing structure, was completed some
time ago. when the main Office was
removed from the Braddock House 70
Jones's Point. The fabricating shop
is rapidly approaching completion,
while a number o. other buildings,
finished receatly, are awaiting the
time when they will be utilized in
the work of constructing iron steam
ships.
During the last thirty years Alex
andriars have read OF magic cities
which have sprung up as did Aladdin's
palace and have l0nged for booms
to strike the old town. All have wait
ed patiently many years while call
ing attention to our superior location
for plants. While the heads Of other
concerns have placed their works here
and there, ignoring this city and its
claims, the Virginia Shipbuilding Cor
poration realized that Alexandria,
within a few miles Of the Capital of
the nation, is above ell the place for
monster plants and availed them
selves of the opportunity afforded Tor
locating their business here. The cor
poration has virtually asked nothing
of our people. Their officials came
here, looked over the ground, pur-
chased what they desired and imme-
diately started to work. The new
town upon the old Baptizing Cove is
the result Of th2i: enterprise. The
Gazette wishes them the continued
success which their labor merits.

BELFRIES SILENT

Silence, even more intense than for
the past three and half years, has
fallen OH Belgium, for no longer /:
the voice Of the bells in the old bel,
fries heard IN the land, and even the
organs are mute in the churches.
NJ. Emile Cammaerts, the Belgian
poet, writes in the Spectator of this
the last cruel stroke inflicted on his
country. Cynical indeed is Germanys
purpose. The bells and organ pipes
are being sent to Essen TO be con-
verted into engines o. destruction.
They must be thrown today in Ger
nany'S melting pot, ard their golden
song, which floated over the peace
fl meadows Of Flanders and in the
cool and shady streets Of quiet towns,
will become the rough bark of the
guns.
The Christian Science Monitor says
in The ears of deeply sympathetic
world nothing could be more eloquent
than this quenching CT the voice of a
once free and independent Belgium.

The crimes Of the Germans in Rus

This meant that to Germany the

UNREST IN AUSTRIA

DISRUPTION Of the tro-Hungar-
ian dual monarchy is at hand. Dis
patches from Budapest, Vienna and
other points in Austria and Hungary,
as well as from Berlin, indicate clear
" that Emperor Karl is sitting on
volcano, which is emitting bursts Of
flame and threatens at any moment
to break into full eruption.
Despite al that Kaiser Wilhelm
and the imperial advisers can do to
prevent it, the common people Of the
dual monarchy are rapidly approach
ing the point where the smallest prov
ocation will bring about revolution.
The Cabinet changes in Austria and
Hungary. the Crown Council hastily
called by the Kaiser at great head
quarters to consider the Austrian
problem, the territorial concessions
made by Austria to Hungary and to
Germany, all have for their purpose
the prevention at all costs OF the
threatened dismemberment of the
monarchy.
But the Slavs of southern Europe
are dying Of starvation and perjury.
They have suffered nearly four years
as the yassals of Germany without
realizing any Of the grandiloquent
promises made by their Emperor and
Kaiser Wilhelp. They want freedom.
And it is only question of days
when they will arise and demand it.
Vienna dispatches admit that the
political situation is most desperate.
Food riots are common. Austria can
not feed her own people, much less
the Magyars of Hungary. She has
turned to Germany FOR help, asking
Berlin to ration some of the nations
Of Hungary. But Berlin, too, is hum
CRY. Where is the food to come
from?
Absolute famine before the first Of
July now menaces all Of Austria-Hun-
gary. 1t is this, together with the
threat of revelation. that is believed to
be delaying the Austrian offensive
against Italy.

Christiania, Norway, May 2l.-Ger-
man submarines again have started
unrestricted warfare on Norwegian
fishing boats in the Artic Ocean north
and east of the Norwegian coast. Fish
erman saved from sunken vessels ana
landed at Hammerfest report that the
commander of a n-boat stated that all
vessels met by him would be sunk
Norwegian ships especially would be
destroyed because, he said, the Nor
wegians were sending fish oil and seal
oil to England. This, however, is con-
trary to the truth, asthe export OF OILS
is forbidden and Germany knows it.
The U-boats are said to shell vessels
without warning and according to the
survivors, direct fire against life
boats.
Russian fishing boats and a Russian
mail steamer from Vardoe, eastward
bound and overcrowded with passen-
gers, also was shelled. Eight persons,
among them a postmaster and his as
sistants were killed On the deck OF the
steamer. Many others were hurt after
taking to the boats.
When the commander OF one Ter
man submarine was advised tha'
Russia was at peace with Germany he
answered that he acted the way II
suited him. The U-boat measured loI
feet in length, and surprise is caused
in shipping circles that it can carry
enough oil for cruise so far up the
Norwegian coast.
Great bitterness has been caused
among the Norwegian population by
the action of the submarines, as Ger
many gets large part of the 1lsh
caught around these places. The news
papers suggest that fishermen stop
selling their catch to Germany.
