The charge is commonly made that the
great handicap to making money by
raising sheep in this State is the great
loss to sheep herds from dogs. This is
also denied. The figures ought to be easy
to obtain. The State pays for all sheep
killed by dogs, and it is uncomfortable
that farmers would fail to present their
bills.--Portland Press.
You've missed the point. We opine
that bills have been presented for
thousands of sheep that never saw u
dog.

Only Kind Germans Can Understand

Sometimes we're half inclined to be-
lieve that all this talk about lombard
ing the German lines with copies of
President Wilson's speeches is nothing
more than camouflage until such time
as we have accumulated a supply of
the only kind of ammunition that will
have any lasting effect on the Boche
rank and file. Bullets, explosive shells,
shrapnel and bombs are the pills that
will be best for what ails 'em.

longer voyages. and has thus reduced
supplies both TO the Allies and our
selves. Unfortunately. too. some of the
accessible sugar producing areas, as
forto Rico, have yielded less than was
anticipated. Domestic crops have
fallen below expectations. France and
Italy are calling for more sugar than
ever before because of the destruction
Of many beet sugar factories in the
battle area. Added to these nisfor-
tunes, we lost more than fifty million
pounds OF sugar early in June by Ger

This. in brief, is the sugar situation.
What can we-you and do to help?
In the first place. we can make q

When we do eat candy we can get the

and raisins, instead of sugar. Lemon

to drink our coffee and tea without
sugar, or at least with half as much
as we are now using. Our cereals re-
quire only the thinnest coating Of
sugar. If any at all. They are excel
lent with sweet fresh fruits or dried
fruits used in place of sugar.
In cooking syrups, honey and other
sweeteners may be substituted for
sugar

brown shades TO be very good indeed,
but all Of the lighter lawns, putty,
sand and buff-brown shades very
smart.
A stunning brown suit which Is
destined to be much copied has just
been brought out The skirt is quite
narrow. There Is little fulness at the
waist, though enough at the back TO
prevent the unsightly "booping In" so
often seen when tight skirts were first
introduced. The coat to match Is
neither short nor long, but strikes a
good medium just below the hips. II
Is cut on the same straight box coat

buttons,
Much attention will be given to lin
ing, and while the outside may be a.
plain as desired the inside satin or elk
can be AZ gay as a sunfiower II one
chooses. The Powered, brocaded
and printed satins are particularly
lovely by contrast with this outside
severity, but / observe that the smart
est. very expensive suits are lined with
the heaviest satin OF exactly the same
shade as the fabric Of which the suit
is made. -
There will be freedom of choice in
the length Of the new coat, tho longer
or the shorter being equally good.
For the past few seasons the smartly
designed ana comfortable fur coats
worn over the one piece dress have
somewhat pushed the coat suit out of
FAVOR as winter came on. This Is doubt
less to happen this year again IL we
are to judge by the very unusual and
Charming one piece dresses we have
seen. There is really nothing. how
ever. which will take the place OF the
smartly tailored suit. Until the really
heavy winter weather a suit is in
dispensabie, and. as was said In the
beginning, in most instances becomes
the very mainstay OF the average
woInan's wardrobe.
As IL In to be OF winter service I'M
doubtedly FOR most OF US. there have
been brought out some good suits of
