BREEDING FOR BETTER SHEEP
Experiment Being Conducted on Ex-
pertinent Ranch in Idaho by
Department OF Agriculture.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF AgricultureD
Corriedale sheep developed in Aus
tralia mainly by Lincoln-M erino
cross, are being studied by the United
States department of agriculture at
the government 2S.OO0-acre sheep-ex-
pertinent ranch az Dubois. Idaho.
There are az present about 1900 sheep
on the project divided into various
classes. Australians claim for the
Corriedales better mutton form than
the Merino, more weight. and yet a
good fleece Of about three-eighths
blood quality. II is expected that the
tests now being conducted by the de-
partment viii eventually result in
better average sheep. as to mutton
carcass than the breeds now on the
market. The breed was introduced In
10 this country by the federal depart
nent. but since that time many large
private importations have been made.
Part Of the sheep on the Dubois range
are being kept as straight Corriedales.
while others are being crossed with
American croSsbreds.

King Albert and His Queen

October :.

Omaha will in all probability have
an opportunity to extend its justly
famed welcome to real European
aristocracy during the month of Oc-
tober, if the present plans Of the
king and queen of the Belgians to
tour the United States are carried
out.
1t was learned yesterday that the
royal party is to arrive in America
on October ?, spend four days in
Washington, and then leave for an
extended tour of the country
Immediately after the arrival in
this country, the Omaha Char11er Of
Commerce will telegraph an invita-
ton to King Albert, asking that he
include Omaha in his itinerary.
Telegram From Ambassador.
A telegram was received yesterday
by Miss May Mahoney. chairman Of
the Belgian relief work here. from
Baron De Cartier, Belgian ambas-
sador to the United States, in re-
ply to an invitation to visit Omaha
extended the king and queen
through the ambassador.
Accept my heartfelt thanks and
those of the Baroness De Cartier
for your kind telegram" says the
baron. Il shall communicate to the

thoritieS. shall advise the secre-
tary Of Cardinal Mercier of your
desire to have him come to Oma-
ha."
Miss Mahoney is a close
acquaintance of the Baron and
Baroness de Cartier. A recent let
ter received from the baron re-
ceived by Miss Mahoney expressed
hope that Omaha's wish for a visit
from the king might be fulfilled.
The king of the Belgians, one OF
the few remaining kings who have
survived the world war, is one OF
the most picturesque figures of the
age. His heroic fight to free his
country from the clutches of the
Germans has evoked spontaneous
admiration from writer's and states
men, and the esteem in which he
is held by his subjects is without
precedent
As young man, then the count
of Flanders, King Albert worked in
St Paul for the Great Northern
railroad. He also lived in Seattle.
Wash, for time. and has many
friends in both cities. 1t is thought
that the king will desire to visit
both cities during the tour of this
country. and such route will lead
him through Omaha.

in the City.

Practically every registered and
graduate nurse in Omaha is expect
ed to attend the meeting Wednes-
day afternoon at kelpin's hall, 2424
Farnam street, to discuss proposed
uniform prices to be charged by pro-
fessionai nurses.
Miss Margaret NJ. McGreevy, sec
retary- of the state association of
nurses. is expected to attend the
meeting and will speak on the stand
ards of the registered and graduate
nurses and their difference from
nonprofessional, practical nurses.
DR.. Jennie Calfas, member of the
board Of the Visiting Nurse asso-
citation, will speak on standards of
nurses and the work of the visiting
nurse. Mrs. H. c. Sumney. wife of
DR.. Sumney, will also be one of the
speakers.
According to Mrs. Walter E.
Child, 4l2 South Forty-eighth street,
a member Of the State Association
of Nurses, who has called the meet
ing, the general public does not
know the difference between a grad
uate nurse and a practical nurse.
Many people were overcharged last
winter during the influenza epidemic,
and for this reason it is proposed to
have uniform prices, so that the
people will know when they are
being overcharged, it was said.

Mr.-Lomax will insist upon show
ing one the records of resolution
passed by his G. A. R. post on May
4, 1918, concerning the general, and
the letter he received from the gen.

The resolution reads: S

Whereas he is now leading all
