lively served it's country, and none
has ever fought in nobler cause.
"You, Mr.. President, by your
confidence, and by your support.
have made the success Of our army
possible, and to you, as our COM

sent the nations victorious

YOUR duty and something more.
You have don't it with a spirit
which gave it distinction and
glory.
And now we are to hail the

aid if we did not insist upon the

'omplished the end would not be

ADDS TO FARM PROFITS

From different sections of the
country come signs that the sheep
industry is coming back strong with
the renewed interest in wool and
mutton production.
Sheep are stop-gaps on the farm.
They are weed and waste devourers.
Practical, hard-headed farmers years
ago discovered that they could main
tain quite a flock of sheep on their
farms with no apparent loss of sup
port of other lines OF livestock.
The fall of the year is the proper
ime to get into the business of grow
ing sheep. The beginner usually has
best success if he will get few head
of good grade ewes, and purebred
ram of the breed he favors. The
oreed to choose is less important
than the excellence of individuals of
he breed. Better start with few
ewes and grow into the business.
With good care sheep increase
rapidly. In few years a good bunch
of ewes can be grown from small
start.

HOBO LIBERTY.

Large regions of the world TODAY
are trying to prove that man can be
fed and happy without ideals, au-
thority or reverence.
After said regions starve while
and discover anew the truth of the
texth: by the sweat of your brow
shall ye eat" their madness will take
the place of oratory and pillage.
Russia, portions of Germany ana
various other sections are trying to
gain comfort and happiness without
paying.
The American hobo came nearer
being contented without labor,
ideals, or acknowledged authority
than any other class ever did; and
yet the American tramp, in the last
analysis, was merely dirty, vermin
infested, half-fed parasite, existing
through the laxity Of police, and
upon the charity Of the workers,
who provided the back door hand
