BETTER CARE OF SHEEP PAYS

Seven farm sheep demonstrations
were held last year in Missouri--hock
owners cooperating with sheep special
lists Of the United States Department,
of Agriculture and the State agricul-
tural college--the results of which
among other things, showed that il
pays well to give sheep proper care.
In two of the demonstrations, where
grade animals were kept, one flock
produced l08 per cent Of lambs, which
means that some of the ewes had twin
lambs, while the other flock produced
only So per cent of lambs, which
means that large number of the
ewes did not produce any or that the
lambs were too weak at birth to be
saved. The wool from the first flock
was sold at 66 cents pound, while
the wool from the second flock brought
ga cents pound. The cost Of feed
of the first flock amounted to $705
for each animal, while the sheep of
the second flock we're fed at cost Of
Sl.34 each. The total cost, in the
first flock amounted to SS.36 an ami
NAL, as compared to s257 for the
second flock. But the net profit a head
the point which is most important to
all sheep raisers--was $5.74 in the
first flock as compared TO $222 in the
second flock, and the net return on the
amounted to 2i.77 per
cent in the first flock as compared to
1928 per cent in the second flock.

INVEST YOUR INTEREST
IN WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Reinvestment of Second Liberty
Loan Bond interest in Thrift or War
Savings Stamps is urged upon the cit
liens Of the town of Manchester by
President w. +. Andrews Of the Man
chester, VI, Board Of Trade.
The Government will make semi
annual interest payment on the Sec
ond Liberty Loan, June 18th. at which
time $50, 1865, ,376.63 will be turned over
to investors in the Twelve Federal
Reserve Districts.
"Many of our citizens own Second
Liberty Loan Bonds" the President
said. "The Treasury Department has
urged that all who can to take this
interest money and reinvest it in
Thrift or War Savings Stamps. BY
this means, they can turn their inter
est into more interest. 1t is profit
able patriotism and | trust that the
citizens of Manchester who own
Second Loan Bonds will do as the
Treasury Department has requested.
Arrangements have been made so
that you can exchange your Liberty
Loan interest coupons for Thrift or
War Savings Stamps at the post
Office. Our postmasters have a suffic-
lent supply of these Government Sc
curities on hand to exchange for your
coupons and will be pleased to accom-
modate you. War Savings Stamps are
always cashable at the postofiice on
ten days written notice.
IL appeal to all patriotic citizens Of
Manchester, who own Second Liberty
Loan Bonds TO get Thrift or War
Savings Stamps with their interest

much civic pride to do less than our
cities. They are planning
to roll up big total in War Savings

suit one nation can heap upon an
other. We entered II after Belgium.
France, England and Russia had stood
for nearly three years between us and
the ruthless hordes of the hcllish
Huns. We entered the conflict only
when il became apparent that Prus-
sian militarism was about 20 win and
that we must help or fight the enemy
later and alone.
Wilson knows this. The record
proves II. The declaration Of war
corroberates it. But the fact does not
detract in the least from the heroism,
the courage, the skill, and the sacri-
fee of the men who rallied TO the coll
ors and redeemed American honor
from the disgrace in which II had been
dragged by a pacifst administration.
The men who fought at Chateau
Thierry in the summer Of 1918 would
have fought as valiently in the sum
mer Of 1915, following the sinking Of
the Lusitania, IL they had been given
the training, the arms and the oppor-
tunity, IL America did not perform
her part in the war as promptly and
effectively as she should. no word Of
criticism can be directed against the
rank and file Of the warriors who later
won the admiration Of the world and
the gratitude Of all succeeding genera
tions by the valorous deeds.
ut is perversion Of the truth to say
that those men were consciously or
unconsciously fighting for league Of
nations. II is perversion Of the truth
to say that they were fighting TO pre-
vent future wars, except 80 far as de-
feat of the wrong -doer in that war
may discourage international outlaw
ry for all future time. They were
fighting to end this war and end II on
the side Of right. What steps should
be taken to prevent future wars is
question TO which they have given no
thought that has found expression.
No man can honestly claim to express
the thought or the feeling OF the
American Expenditionary Forces upon
the league of nations or any other
scheme for future world adjustment.
This much and this only has been
demonstrated by the record Of Amer
leans in this eonfict--America pro-
duces a breed Of men who put the
honor Of their country and the peace
and safety of their homes above even
life itself, and when foreign foe
assails our rights, they stand ready to
wage defensive or offensive war, let
the cost be what II may. II league
Of nations held out reasonable hope of
war without sacrificing lib
erty, doubtless they would espouse its
cause. But there is no likelihood that
they will choose the humiliating and
terms of the league coven-
ant, with its unknown entangling alli
ances and sacrifice Of American inde-
pendence."

Notes of the Game.

Both teams tackled rather high, Am
herst being more successful as her heav-
ier team pulled the Brattleboro players
down by their weight.
The self styled state champions look
pretty good right now, and we under
stand are ready for anything, even Rut-
land high. How about it, Rutland?
j. Moran again demonstrated his won
derful ability to carry the ball by making
distance many times when necessary,
twice plunging through the line for
touchdowns.
Brattleboro suffered severely on one
penalty when on the play that Noyes
went over for touchdown the ball was
called back and Brattleboro penalized
five wards for offside.
Listen to this! The Amherst coach
saws: "Brattleboro has the best high
school team in the Connecticut valley,
and if you saw the game you will be-
perfectly willing to agree with him.
Amherst was penalized twice for un'
necessary roughness, which would have
been very acceptable to Brattleboro if il
| had not been for that fumbling, as boil
penalties put Brattleboro in striking dis
lance of the goal.

ENORMOUS LOSSES
DUE TO FOREST FIRES

SPOKANE-From 400 to 1900 fire
fighters have been making Spokane
their headquarters in their efforts to
stamp out the forest fires in western
Montana, northern Idaho and eastern
Washington. Plenty of rain is the
only thing that can put an effective
end to the present forest fire situa-
ton is the statement of the govern
ment forest fire recruiting office at
Spokane, however some of the largest
fires are now under control.
Three thousand acres in the Occur
d'Alene national forest in northern
Idaho have been burned over by a
fire now raging that hundreds of men
are fighting. The Mission Creek fire
which rain extinguished several days
ago destroyed 200, 000, 900 feet of
timber on the Canadian side with
great loss to American as we'll as
Canadian lumber interests and many
acres of valuable timber have been
destroyed in eastern Washington.
Fires in Montana and in other Idaho
sections are coming under control but
stubborn fighting is necessary in
every quarter and the total destruction
naS been enormous.
