Miss Anita J. Robertson of the Y. w. c. A. household having just received her orders to report at once in New York leaves today. On the strength of this order a hurriedly gotten up shower" of small requisites for the journey. ad- herring strictly to the prescribed list of articles as furnished by the powers that be, was given Miss Robertson on Fri day evening. The games were contests concerning the flags of the countries, and a very interesting credential game in which one described themselves in words, beginning with their initials.

". s. s. IN THE SCHOOLS

"As an internal terrestrial eruption leaves a radical change for all time on
 the face of the earth, just so a great
 war invariably leaves it's imprint on the minds, actions, ambitions and opinions of the people who inhabit it. for a mill will never grind again by the water that is passed and we find ourselves already bringing a new ordef out of the unspeak- able horror of the past four years of German atrocities, of pillage and murder and from this dismal swamp of 1918 is Springing a flower not like the lily of the fields that tolls not neither spins but as the flower of the buckwheat plant that covers the brown earth and im- prints it's useful qualities in resemblance of which the little blue-green thrift stamps are being distributed over the country, gerninating in the minds oi thousands of children the seeds of say- ing, thrift and useful qualities and by no organization is it handled to better advantage than in the schools operated by the juvenile War Savings societies" says Mrs. c. P .Beddow of the publicity committee of the W. s. s. campaign.
 Each grade in every school having or Iganized several societies to compete with other as to which will buy the greatest amount of stamps, and nickels and dimes which have been heretofore spent on sweets-yes, even dope, as the boys term IL, are now being saved tOWardS buying thrift stamps, which to each child is like bread cast upon the water to re- turn after many days in the shape of War Savings Stamp. Oh, it is game worth playing, and the wonderful teach CTS in their schools are making the pu- pills understand it and every 'red-blooded' American child loves game and what greater game than+t this, the game of sav- Ing, for as Robert Service says, it is not the gold that I'm wanting so much as just finding the gold.
 This work carried on in the schools by the teachers in establishing War Savings societies, I consider one of the most eff fectual organizations at the present time because it has it's beaE1gs on the boys of today who are the men and women of tomorrow and the men and women of tomorrow are the ones who will hold the world to the ideals of peace, thrift, learn ing, mercy and humanity, which have always been upheld by the United States.
 Again it is a wonderful thing to have ideas of thrift taught in the schools as now and then there are cases where it would not be taught at home. Another fine point is, as Miss Rosa Strickland

AGE-HERALD CRECHE FUND
 FOR CANTEEN SERVICE

The lifting and rolling away of the
 black war cloudswhich so long have op- scured all else, leaves America and Bir- mingham for it's share, facing many va ried new problems, both at home and
 abroad, and among the suffering
 nations of Europe, confronted as they are with starvation, cold. sickness and
 every form of privation during the ap-
 preaching winter. In this new work, as in the case of every appeal hereto fore made, we shall have our share, and it will be borne and over borne both willingly and gladly. During the war every appeal made, and each succeeding quota fixed. while seemingly incredibly large has nevertheless promptly been oversubscribed and paid whether for di- rect war purposes or for the humanita- rian side, the noble work of the Red Cross the Young Mems Christian asso- citation and their associations. Appar- ently the more Birmingham has given the more it seemed able and willing to give, not alone through the ordinary channels but for the suffering Syrians and the orphaned children of France and of Belgium, as well as in number less other ways. The spirit of giving and the bessedness of it, has apparently been brought home to us all here as never before, together with a realization of the marvellous and unbelievable results of team work and of united earnest action along these lines If only the great lessons of this great war in this particu- lar alone remain with us, indelibly im- pressed upon our minds and hearts, how easy will in future be the fulfillment of the comparatively trifling obligations to humanity, which we have always with us right here at home, and which are our individual responsibilities.
 In such matters as adopting and car ing for the orphaned children of France, as noble work as was ever conceived, let us not forget, however, the needs of the 100 or more poor, needy and help less children in our Mercy Home. For them the Creche makes now and here it's regular annual appeal for subscrip tions, no matter how small or how large they may be. Remember it is on these voluntary subscriptions that the Home mainly relies for it's maintenance and up keep under the fine economic management of it's big-hearted, experienced and de- voted matron and house mother, Mrs. Ramsay. This is the Creche Fund Age Herald subscription as in years past, and it is fervently hoped and believed that the response will be as spontaneous, as hearty, generous and over the top as have been the responses to all the other and similar appeals, all subscriptions as usual to be acknowledged through the Age Herald.
 What more beautiful or fitting tribute of gratitude for the final ending of the great war can there be than a helping hand extended now and little love and caring thereby expressed for Mrs. Ramsay's big household of needy, help less and deserving little children with. in the walls of our Mercy Home?

While the prospects for sheep grow
ing look very good, the Extension Di-
vision does not want to encourage
anyone to take up this line of livestock
industry unless they have had pre-
vious experience or have an honest
desire to study and learn the nature
and the requirements of sheep. With
out love for sheep and a knowledge
of the industry, little success can be
expected.
One of the main essentials In grow
ing this class of animals is good pas
ture. Permanent pasture should
be established with orchard grass
or Bermuda grass as a basis.
In the northern section OF the
state orchard grass is better
adapted to the soil and climate.
In the central and southern portion.
Bermuda thrives best. With Bermu-
da grass can also be mixed lespedeza
which makes its rankest growth dur
ing the hot summer months. bur clov-
er which thrives during the winter
and white clover which begins its
growth early in the spring. Resides
a permanent pasture temporary pas.
ture should also be provided.
Size of Flocks: 1t is the opinion OF
the most competent authorities that
sheep can be handled in the most eco
nomical way with not less than fifty
or sixty ewes as unit. The advan-
tage coming from this large number
is that 1t does not cost much more
t. fence, shelter and care for fifty or
sixty ewes than 1t would a smaller
number and for this reason when the
large numbers are handled the cost
per eve is much less than when only
few are carried in the flock. While
it is true that experienced men can
handle most advantageously sheep in
the number suggested, with the be-
ginner 1t is no doubt best for him to
start with eight or ten ewes and
gradually increase his flock.
Kind of Sheep: 1t is not well for
the beginner TO start with pure BREEDS,
but he should begin with good grades.
Perhaps the best place to secure these
grades Is from the Stock Yards Mar
kets through some reliable commits
sion firm. The majority of the ewes
upon the markets come from the
western ranges and are for the most
part of the Merino breed. These ewes,
however, can be bred up quickly by
using rams of the breed preferred.
The lambs from Merino ewes and NUT
ton rams make rapid growth and
sell well when placed on the market.
When giving an order for this stock
it is well to write the commission

fer and caution him not to buy ewes
that are too old. Quite number OF

ARKANSAS SHOULD
HAVE MORE SHEEP
During 1916 the United States Raised
Only 35 Per Cent of Wool
She Used
BY ]. H. Mcleod, Senior Livestock
Specialist, Extension Division, Uni
versity of Arkansas

BY ]. H. Mcleod, Senior Livestock
Specialist, Extension Division, Uni
versity of Arkansas
Arkansas should have more sheep.
The need of raising more sheep is ap-
parent from the fact that in 1916 the
United States raised only 35 per cent
of the wool she used. There has been
very large increase In the demand
for mutton to feed the millions of
men who are now on the European
front. nd while the demand has been
for more sheep, the number of sheep
has decreased in the United States,
due to the opening up of Government
land in the West for settlement and
the losses in sheep upon the ranges
through disease.
Although there have not been many
sheep raised in this state, we know
that Arkansas has number of ad-
vantages for sheep production. We
have very mild climate and for this
reason can produce grass almost the
year through. We also have large
acreage of high, we'll drained cheap
land in North Arkansas which fur
nishes favorable conditions for the
keeping of large fioeks of sheep at
comparatively low cost. Arkansas
men who have gone inso the sheep
business and followed 1t in an intell-
gent manner find that they are very
profitable investment.
First: They pick up great deal of
waste about the farm that other farm
animals cannot utilize.
Second; They clean up the weeds
and cause grasses te grow where weed
patches were before.
Third: Sheep furnish quick returns.
Ewes can be bred in the fall and
their lambs marketed eight or ten
months thereafter.
Fourth: Profits are large-it is
usually considered that the wool will
pay for the keep of the ewes and the
lambs come as clear profit.
Fifth: SHEEP are good soil builders,
sheep manure being the richest ma
nure produced by any farm animal.
Sixth: They require little expen-
sive feed.
Seventh: Money from sheep comes
in in the spring at time of the year
when few other products are being
put upon the market.

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY SAMUEL HAMILTON, M. d.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by means
Of X-rays, the observations of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow-
Ter, Hawk, prove that an abundance Of
water taken during digestion is neces-
sary in good bodily housekeeping. Drink
plenty of water with each meal, Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
II your kidneys are sick, or you suffer
with lnmbago or rheumatism at times,
pain in the back or back of the neck, take
q little Anuric before meals. This can
be found at any good drug store. There
fore my advice to young or old is, always
drink plenty of pure water And for long
Nfe, occasionally take tablets of Anuric
three or four times a day.
It is simply wonderful how quickly
Anuric acts - much more potent than
Hthia. You will find it dissolves uric
acid as water does sugar.

Patriotic Duty to Increase Brood Sows
and Protect Pigs.

It 10 the patriotic duty of every Ar
kansas farmer not only to keep more
brood sows, but to protec, his pigs
from cholera and other diseases Re-
member, next to cholera, lice and in
festival worms are the worst enemies
Of the hog. Lice can be controlled by
dipping the hogs either In the arsenical
cattle dip. used for killing the ticks,
or dipping or spraying in any one OF
the creosotc dips; or applying crude
oil, commonly known as louise oil.
This is applied by painting It along
the back OF the hog and on the inside
and outside of the ear. When the
hog lies down In the sun this will
run over the body and will kill the
lice and remove any scurf which may
be on the skin.
Intestinal worms can be prevented
TO certain extent by changing the
feeding places of the hogs regularly
and keeping the troughs cleaned out;
also by scattering lime over the
ground where the feed tronghs are lo-
Gated. A tonic for hogs will to GER
ain extent reduce intestinal parasites.
