 Frank Kleinheinz, University of Wis consin, told of the value of sheep on the farm, and how to start in sheep raising. The best way, he said, is to start with small flock, grade the ews and pure bred ram. The hills of Arkansas are very suitable for the raising of sheep and goats, he said.

NUMBER 1O4.
WILSOA IS NOW READY
 TO RETURN TO WORK
Is Preparing to Renew His Grip on the Affairs of the Nation; Now
 Greatly Improved.

Washington, Dec. 27,-President Wilson, who will be 63 years old to- morrow, is preparing to renew his grip on public affairs which serious illness compelled him to relinquish three months ago.
 In administration quarters it was said today that the president will soon take a most active part" in government problems and in politics. Problems of government which he proposes to grapple with are the peace treaty muddle, readjustment of rail- road affairs before their return to private ownership and economic and industrial and reconstruction.
 As for politics, the president ad- visers say his chief concern is the welfare of the Democratic party and it's preservation from the storms of post war criticism. They insist that he has not thought of himself as candidate for reelection but is con- cerned to see that the right man is chosen to succeed him as the leader of his party.
 His Health Restored.
 Some of the intimate comments made today on the presidents condi- tion were:
 "The president is remarkably inn proved and is steadily mending" Dr, Grayson, the presidents personal phy- sician.
 "I never saw the president look better in my life than he did today Joseph Tumulty, the presidents S secre- tary.
 "Yes. The president is simpl., in wonderful condition now."-Rudolph Forster, executive clerk at the White House.
 These three men have been in most son. Dr. Grayson has been practi- cally in constant attendance since the chief executive was stricken three months ago, while Secretary Tumulty and MT. Forester have conferred with him more or less frequently in connec- tion with official matter and routine business.
 Dr, Grayson is exercising the ut most caution in protecting the presi- dent from contracting cold or suffer- ing relapse of any sort. He said to- day that the president is still rather weak but getting stronger each day, and for that reason he is averse to his walking much. However, the president walks about his room each day, but when he goes out doors is in rolling chair.
 To Resume Work Soon.
 Definite plans for the president to take up the various problems pressing for executive attention have been ar ranged under his direction and short ly after the first of the year 1t is expected that he will have series of conferences with members of Con- gress and others interested in ques- tions awaiting settlement This will depend, however, upon continued improvement of his condition.

 And now Pm going to say a word or two for the benefit of the Holly Grove editor. It is this, Editor Friend, you are mistaken about the Holly Grove people not approaching home enterprise they DO appreciate every good thing. They are the kind of people who always appreciate. Holly Grove people are in a class by themselves when it comes to appreciating real merit. They appreciate the Leader and it's clever editor, so don't say any thing like that about 'em again. You might dig in" on some lines and probably 1t would do good but don't hit | 'em where they don't deserve it. You've given the Holly Grove people a good little pa per and if they but understood that what you are giving them is actually costing you $2.O0 for the S1.00 you are timidly charging them they'd slap you on the back and tell you to buckle up and let them pay YOU a sum that would justify you in giving them the good newspaper you are doing.
