We would not have used the words

sure on the inside" the Huns will have
signed the treaty of peace vertotal
before this column appears. But what
we started to say was, that a gentle
man 1--WE suppose it is from the per-
fumed paper) writes in to know whe-
ther we favor the keeping of dogs in
preference, or rather in connection,
with sheep. Do we favor high priced
wool or low priced mutton, and third

Club as to whether the Allies will
soften the peace terms and make the
road better for the Germans. Now, in
regards to raising dogs with sheep,
or in preference to sheep or in rad
ius of sleeps domains, which do
mains are his grazing area, we are
as much opposed to it as we are to let
ting the Huns down easy and that is
some opposed-unalterably opposed
to such demeanor Dogs. though they
have demonstrated their 'undying love
and friendship for man and that they
are mans best friend, have no business
about sheep patch, as nearly all of
them have Hunnish disposition and
a hankering for killing sheep, and
since one sheep is worth more than
times the priceof one dog, not includ-
ing the wool, we consider that our per-
fumed correspondent will have no
trouble in discerning where we stand.
But to the wool question, that is diff
ferent. High priced wool does no good
to the producer, as he pays out the
high price to the manufacturer when
he purchases the wool back in gar
ments. The same applies to cotton or
potatoes or any other product of the
farmers skill And as we still have a
lingering memory of our first wool
shirt which made US feel like our
back was cootie boulevard and we
treated it the same way, we are not
prone to favor wool either low or high
priced. But the last query tickles our
vanity for the good brother thought
