Announcement has been made
| from Columbia that the case of Jas.
G. Owens ct al, appellants, vs. Thos.
G. c. Fahnestock ct al, respondents,
has been reversed by the Supreme
Court. The finding Of the lower
court was in favor Of the plaintiff,
t. G. c. Fahnestock, who claimed
property rights under a paper pur-
porting to be the last will and testa-
ment of the late Mrs. Rosa Fahne-
stock. This paper was not question
ed by either side as to its genuine
| ness or authenticity, but the case
hinged on construction of the paper
whether it was to be considered a
part Of the deceased's previous will,
| or If 1T constituted new will by rea-
son Of its language. The paper be-
| gan with the words "Item TO-" but
in the body of this paper the state
| ment was made that previous wills
were revoked. The lower court held
| that the language Of this paper con-
stituted a new will and that it re-
voked the previous will. The opin-
ion In the case by the Supreme Court
has not as yet been transcribed and
handed down, but 1t Is presumed
that the higher court construes the
paper in question as an item added to
the previously made will, which
closed with Item 8" in the body
wherein property was disposed of. 1t
Is presumed that the Supreme Courts
decision will be taken as final by all
parties to the action.

RUBBER SHORTAGE IS FEARED

eminent

New York.-Pa, ma and the children
soon will brave rainy days without
rubbers, arctics or boots.
A complete cessation Of the manu-
facture of rubber footwear for some
time for civilian purposes is seen in
the announcement that manufacturers
OF the goods have made an agreement
with the war department that they
will supply their entire output to the
government.
The war department is so urgent in
It's desire for quick deliveries that 1t
has nullified the agreements for GER
tain fixed quantities each month and
pending contracts will be rushed to
completion without any regard to
specified deliveries.
All the important rubber concerns
In the country are affected and will
devote practically their entire atten-
ton for many weeks to the delivery
Of millions of pairs Of rubber boots
and other articles of footwear for the
men at the front.

RAISE MORE SHEEP
Necessary for Sake Of Economic
Welfare and independence.
Steady Decline Is Shown In the In.
dustry in United States In Re-
cent Years.

Washington.-The sheep industry in
the United States must either adjust
itself to the changed economic con.
ditions of this day or continue the
decline which has been it's portion in
years past. Such is the conclusion
reached in report. issued by the sheep
and wool industry by the committee
on statistics and standards Of the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States.
The principal remedies suggested in
the report to arrest the present steady
decline in our production Of sheep
are, first, the use for sheep grazing of
the agriculturally worthless and cheap
cut-over timber lands of the North,
Northwest and South; second, the
more general and systematic raising
Of sheep on farms, where sheep rails
ing has been hitherto neglected large
ly because Of frontier competition;
and third, continued use of the great
ranges of the West to their full capac-
ity. 1t can be done. 1t is question
of education.
In 1900 we had in the United States
80 sheep per capita. In 1917, the fig
ure dropped to .46 per capita. In 1890
we produced 4.29 pounds Of wool per
capita. In 1917 only 2.72 pounds per
capita.
We import now so per cent Of our
wool consumption. We ought to pro-
duce that at home sand we can If we
will.
Sheep increase rapidly-from 80 to
100 per cent annually as compared
with the number Of ewes.
There is every reason, in the opin-
lon of the committees, why, for the
sake of our economic welfare and in
we should act on the fact
that we can raise enough sheep If we
Will, and reap advantage and profit
In so doing. .

Ny Dear Mr. Flowers:

the very real help it has given to
America in the struggle that is con-
cerned with every fundamental ele-
ment of national life. Your speakers,
