up the f1eeeces of 25. 900 sheep every day.
AS to our own product of wool, this has

We produced 321, 100000 pounds Of wool
in 1910. and our production last year was
26,ooo.ooo pounds less At present, as It
Of wool we produce is SO little that If
equally divided 1t would give only three
pounds to every man. woman and child
in the United States. 1t is so little that
hardly suffice to supply suit for one per-
son in three: and the rest Of us would have
to go naked.
Moreover, a decline is going on in the
production of wool all over the world. The
crop of 1914, the year the war began. was
less than 5000, 100000 pounds. and at that
time the whole world had only little

The sheep of Europe have been slaugh-

At the time she marched into Belgium Ger
many had less than 100000 sheep and
Austria not half that number. In both
of these countries the focks have been SO
greatly reduced as to create q wool fam

and the German government has cut down
the wool consumption by making the peo-

ITl I have put this question to
1 & the experts of the United
States bureau of animal industry. They
reply that it will take 100 pounds a
year for every soldier that we send to
the trenches, and that 1t will keep
twenty sheep working to supply that
amount. This is supposing that each
sheep gives a fleece of eight pounds.
So you SEQ that for every million men
2o.OO0.OO0 full-grown sheep here at
home or in some other part of the
world. and this In addition to the vast
amount Of wool we need to clothe our
own people.
One hundred and sixty pounds. It
seems like q lot of wool for one man,
but you must remember that the fleece
as 1t comes from the sheep Is about
two-thirds grease and dirt, and that
the fibers selected to make wooden cloth
are only part of the whole. In order
to know just how the wool is used 1
have asked some of the private SOL
diers at Camp Meade as to the outfits
they are carrying with them to France.
They tell me that the government has
issued to each man one overcoat. two
service uniforms. two olive-drab shirts,
three suits OF heavy underwear, Six
pairs Of light weight and four pairs
of heavy weight socks, two pairs Of
thick gloves and four warm blankets.
All Of these must be Of the purest of
wool. and the same is true of the hel-
NETS and sweaters which our women
are knitting all over the country.
venture there are now something like
a million women and girls plying their
needles. and that the yarn they con-
sumo will add one or two sheep to the
flock of each soldier.
There is already a shortage Of wool,
and. as the men in the trenches must
be kept warm. the rest Of us. will be
forced to wear shoddy or mixtures Of
cotton and wool in order that the sup
plies for the Army may not be i'm
paired. I am told that England is dis
cussing the mixing Of cotton with all
wooden fabrics. She is cutting down
the weight of the cloth and Is reducing
her exports to other parts Of the world.
This loss will be greatly felt by our
tailors, who have been buying a large
part of their stuffs from her. During
the first fifteen months of the war
England used 121,O00.ooo yards of piece
goods for her soldiers-enough to have
made a strip of cloth more than two
yards wide reaching clear around the
world,

FUNERAL OF STUART WINS
LOW HELD LAST SATURDAY
Aged Man was Prominent Coal Dealer
in New York City Sixty-Five
........ Years Ago

The funeral of Stuart Winslow, the
aged father-of Capt. S. v. Winslow,
was held at 2:30 Saturday afternoon
at the Mueller Undertaking parlors.
Interment was in the local cemetery.
Rev. C. R. Delepine, who lived neigh
Dor to the deceased, preached the fun
eral sermon and read the following
sketch of the aged mans life:
Stuart Winslow was born in Bel
fast, Ireland, on March 25, 1882. At
the age of he came to the United
States with his parents, who made
their home at Whitenville, Mass,
where they had relatives. = X
In 1867 he married for the second
time, taking for wife the one whom
his death leaves widow. From his
first wife he had five children, of
whom only one, daughter, is now
living. H. s Il i
The only living child from his Sc
cond wife is Captain Winslow. +.
In 1853 Mr.. Winslow entered the
coal business, in which he became one
of the leading dealers in New York.
Misfortune overlook him and he lost
nearly all he had made, experience
ing thus in his life the uncertainty of
all that which men are so apt to set
their hearts on. Mr.. Winslow said
that he remembered the day when,
standing on 42nd street in New York,
he could see only here and there a
house between the city and himself,
and now this street is the center of
New York business. In that time,
to go west meant to go to Philadelphia
tho country in which we live, and to
which he came ten years ago, was not
then a known quantity. IS
Mr.. Winslow was a member of the
Presbyterian church and was known
as very liberal contributor to relig-
ious interests.
For quite while lately he became
weaker and weaker; yet net long ago
he told me he had not been sick in his
life and his death was caused by moth
ing else that the weakness of old age.
And no wonder, for last Thursday,
November 81, 1918, when he passed
away at 8 o'clock in the evening, he
had attained the good old age of Sc
years, z months and 26 days.
He leaves behind him to mourn his
death his wife, son and daughter.

H. w. Nelson, manager Of the St.

WASHINGTON FIGHTERS PUT
PRUSSIAN GUARDS ON RUN
Former State College Instructors
Company Captures Two Hun
dred Huns ~

A letter written by Captain w. j.
Potter last years instructor in COM
merce and finance at the state college,
has been received by President E. 0.
Holland from the base hospital in
Vichy, France, where Captain Potter
is suffering from wounds received in
the battle of the Argonne forest.
Captain Potter states that his COM
pany, composed largely of Washing
ton boys, made a name for itself in
this battle by capturing two hundred
of the famous Prussian Guards, many
machine gune and one "77." He says
his command suffered severely "but
that was to be expected" On the 9th
of September he was hit but not put
out of action by shrapnel. The next
day he was hit but machine gun fire
thru the lung. Since then, according
to his statement, he has been lying
still at the base hospital slowly recov-
ering. - r.
Caption Potter warmly praised the
young Westinghouse in his COM
mand, whose courage and skill in the
battle were too much for the redoubt-
able Prussian guards opposing them.

THE BIG SHOW

When Euripides founded the drama
he gave to the world a form of amuse-
ment that has lasted 1000 years with
out a change or rather without a new
idea being injected into it. This con-
dition, however, has been radically
changed by the advent of D. w. Crit
feth's spectacle, Intolerance" For
the first time in the 1000 years that
the drama has been in existence new
idea is given in the form of its con-
struction. Never before did four
stories run thru one play; also, never
before did anything on the stage or
screen attempt to reach the magnitude
that this Griffith production attains.
Besides the heights to which its
scenic splendor ascends, this four-tale
story of loves struggle turnout the
ages tells in clear ways the four diff
ferent stories. Each story has its
own plot and characters, but in the
end they all meet in one big theme,
the theme of the play Intolerance, the
intolerance of man toward man and
the havoc that has been wrought in
four periods of the worlds history by
this intolerance that has dominated
the world and its inhabitants.
Intolerance" turnout the large cit
les of this country, has proved the SEN
sational hit of the present season.
