ARTISTS FAMOUS AS WRITER'S
Several Of the Most Noted NoveIists
Deserted the Brush for Lit
erary Work.

Several artists of note have been
known to desert the brush for the pen,
and when they have died they have
left their mark behind them as lit
elary men, observes an exchange. Will
liam de Morgan did this. He wrote
the longest set Of novels since Dick
ems and Thackeray "ceased firing" al
though he was an old man when he
took to the pen. George du Maurier
was an artist who turned author after
making European fame with the pen
ell as satirist of society. He sudden
~ startled the world with ''Trilby,"
and set two continents comparing feet.
With him novel-writing seemed his true
forte, but he had started too late. He
only enjoyed his new fame few years.
Even Thackeray tried art before he
found his true vocation, and he illus
trated several of his own books even
then. A very piquant story tells of
Thackeray calling on Charles Dickens
to see If he could get the commission
to illustrate one Of his earlier novels.
He had not written "Vanity Fair"
then!
A very distinguished artist-author
was Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was
supreme in both arts.

Cotton In Australia.

Chiefly because of the war cotton
growing Is being taken up with in
creased vigor by farmers in Queens
land, as shown by the large amount
of raw material which the department
Of agriculture is receiving for gin
ming purposes. To foster the indus
try the department has been buying
all the raw cotton grown In the state,
ginning 1t and selling 1t on behalf of
the growers. Last year the amount
ginned up to June 80 was 2O.4S5
pounds. including $500 pounds from
New Guinea. Up to June q this year
the department has received 34,SO5
pounds from Queensland growers
alone, and farmers are still sending
in their pickings. Growers are guar
anteed three and One-half cents Il
pound and any balance made after the
department has paid the expense Of
ginning. Last year growers received
a fraction under five cents pound.
This years cotton IS from seed OBJ.

A1nhabet Of the Soul.

Gestures part in Oriental drama IL
set forth in a recent Hindu volume,
which says that there is fitting ges-
ture to represent every emotion. The
gesture, in fact, Is described as a deaf
and dumb alphabet Of the soul. There
are nine movements Of the head, cor
responding to nine emotions, men
toned by one authority, twenty-four
by another: twenty-eight movements
of the single hands, and twenty-four
(oe twenty-six) of the double hands,
etc.; also hands denoting animals,
trees, oceans, and other things. For
example, a certain position Of the
hands denotes q certain emperor,
caste, or planet. The translator says,
rather slyly, that only cultivated Az
dience can appreciate Indian actors

The Pla's Food Habits.

We must all (says the Pail Mall
Gazette) make our apologies to the
pig, who has been grossly maligned in
regard to his food. Instead Of being
ready to eat anything, he turns out to
be the most fastidious of animals. Ex-
periments have been made in France
and Sweden which show this to be the
case, and In the latter country the
record tells us that out Of SIS plants
the goat eats 40 and refuses 1928; the
sheep out of 528 plants eats 387 and
refuses al; out OF 494 plants the COW
eats 276 and refuses 218; out Of 474
plants the horse eats 262 and refuses
212; and the pig out Of 243 plants eats
e and refuses III.

NO MONEY IN SHEEP KILL
ING DOGS

Editorial from the Memphis, Tenn,
Commercial-Appeal: A tremendous
industry in the south was destroyed
by the sheep-killing dog.
Once in Middle Tennessee sheep
growing was one of the staple live
stock industries.
1t Long ago great herds Of sheep were
grown in West Tennessee and in Mis-
sissippi.
The people Of the South can grow
sheep just as well as they can grow
hogs, and they can grow hogs just as
well as any section Of the country.
But 50 long as we have the dogs
there will be few Sleeps.
After we do away with the sheep
killing dogs, we ought to do away
with the worthless dogs.
The average dog will consume as
much food as an adult. It may not
be the quality the adult will eat, but
one dog will eat more food than is
necessary to sustain and put fat on
two hogs.
The Psychological effect Of worth
less dog is bad. It reacts on the
owner.
A movement is on foot in Mississ-
ippi to have legislation governing the
dog question. The politicians usu-
ally fight shy of it. In some neigh
borhoods man can 60 out and
preach devotion to cur dogs and get
votes, and some men dearly love
votes. These men are not only in
Mississippi, but they are in these
parts as well.
The agricultural college and the
strong characters in Mississippi ought
to insist upon dog legislation. With
the dogs removed and little agita-
ton by some strong leaders in every
county the state of Mississippi can be
filled with flocks of sheep within
three or four years.
There is money in sheep. Sheep on
the farm make for contonment.
There is no money in dogs. Dogs
on the farm make for a poor farm.

EASY TO TRAIN SHEPHERDS
Purple. Soon Learn II They Are Placed
With Ewes and the Lambs
Taken Away.

It Is easy enough to train shepherd
dogs If they are taken as pup
pies. When the sheep are lambing,
take lamb away from its mother
and put the puppies on the eve. Keep
the eve tied up for few days and
see that the little puppies nurse her:
then it will not be long until she will
think as much Of the pups as she does
of her lamb.
AS soon as the pups are old enough
to follow the sheep let them 60 with
the bunch and they will soon be TAX
ing care Of the sheep. The dogs will
soon learn to take them out Of the
sheds in the morning and bring them
back at night. And If a strange dog
or wolf comes around, one dog will
stay and fight while another will start
the sheep for home. In lambing time
they keep the sheep close around the
ranch or camp and seem to take on
degree Of intelligence that is mar
velous. They can soon be taught the
masters calls or signals and will obey
promptly. It is essential that they
shall be fed by some sort Of system,
and it is well to have them understand
that this is their reward If one has
a good working dog, it is surprising
how readily young animal will learn
from the old one. But the masters do
not always have an old dog, and then
the trainer must play the dog himself
and do little running. Everyone
has his own whistles or words of COM
mand, and dog soon catches on.-Ex-
change.

Wooden Shipbulding
Gaining Friends
Former Steel Ship Advocates
Now Leaning Toward
Wooden Vessels

New Orleans, La, January l, 1918.
4 special dispatch from Washington
to the Times-Picayune says:
Despite the disparaging remarks
of some, wooden ships bid fair to
emerge from the Senate hearing with
more friends than they had when it
started. Admiral Bowles, who has
been a stout personal champion Of
steel ships since the days when Theo-
| dore Brent was on the Shipping
| Board, did make some unkind re-
marks about wooden ships before the
committee, but his unfavorable re-
marks partook SO largely of indefinite
Ceneralities that it is safe to say none
was convinced that the wooden ship is
a failure. In fact, Admiral Bowles
himself told the committee the news
papers had misunderstood his re
marks and he repudiated before the
committee any responsibility whatev-
er for calling the wooden fleet a fail
ure.
The investigation has shown that
Chairman Hurley and Charles A. Pr
ez, general manager Of the Emergen-
c. Fleet Corporation, are stronger
friends of the wooden ship than any
one had thought heretofore. When
the hearing is completed it is believ-
ed sufficient evidence favorable to
the wooden ship will have been ac-
cumulated to insure the expansion of
the wooden ship program. 1t already
has been shown that no great expan-
sion in the construction of steel
ships for commercial purposes can be
expected, owing to the enormous re-
quirements for steel on the part of
the navy.
Admiral Bowles did express the
conviction that sufficient large tim
bers could not be secured to carry out
the wooden ship program, as now con- |
stituted. Since Admiral Bowles does
net claim to be lumberman, his state |
ment will not stand in the face of
those of experienced lumbermen who
declare the timbers are available and
will be furnished as rapidly as they
can be utilized. 1t is true the lum
Der industry was slow in furnishing
the big timbers which were called for
first. This was not due, however, to
the lack of them. 1t took some time
to hunt out the trees of unusual size
and to organize the necessary logging
operations. Moreover, the Emergen-
cy Fleet Corporation constantly was
changing sizes and specifications,
which added materially to the DELAYS
Under the new schedules much
more speed is being shown. The
Southern Pine Association at present
is averaging an output of 100000
feet of ship timbers per day. Despite
the recent change in sizes, the pine
association is ahead Of its promises as
to delivery. During the last sixty
days there has been an increased pro-
duction of ship timbers from yellow
pine mills of 100000 feet daily. It
is expected ultimately to attain a
daily average delivery of 100000
feet of ship timberh from the yellow
pine belt.

Federal Ownership
Would Hurt State

steps to bring to attention of state
representatives in Congress the prob
lems attending federal ownership OF
railroads.
The following statement was is

The Governor has written to

members of the House, calling their
attention to a very critical situation
that may arise in the taking over of
the railroads by the federal govern
ment Such a commanding part of
the revenues of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania come from taxes on
these railroads that any change in
management which would impair
that revenue would compel a prompt
revision of the whole taxing system
OF this Commonwealth.
The Governor has urged upon
the officials at Washington the i'm
portance Of conserving Pennsylva-
MAS taxing right over these cor
poratlons during the. period of gov
ernment control"

Evidences of Strained
Relations Over War Aims
Numerous in Berlin
By Associated Press

Amsterdam. Jan. 15.-Evidences of
the strained situation as regards war
aims continue to appear in the Ger
man newspapers. The Leipzig Volks
zeitung says meeting of the annex
ationist Fatherland party at Jena was
broken up by the independent Social
lists. who, after adopting a vote for
"a general peace by understanding"
threw out the members of the Fa-
therland party.
At this meeting DR.. Bernhard Dern-
burg. former secretary of state for
the colonies, said that II the Father
land party won the war the war
would be lost. He rejected anneXa-
tions and cash indemnities, and de-
clared Germany was powerless to en-
force longtime payments by INSTALL
ments from America and England.
AnneXations in the east, he asserted,
would be source of constant dan
ger, as they would irritate Russia.
DR.. Dernburg urged disarmament
