Wilson's Sheep Thrive.
Woodrow Wilson as a sheep rIiser
is the title of the following interesting
yarn issued by the American Red
Cross news service:
1T may now Re definitely stated that
as a sheep raiser Woodrow wilson
also is a success. The White House
flock, after less than a year of resi-
derce on the grounds of the executive
mansion. Is not only in the best OF
health and nearly ready to surrender
another good -sized wool clip, but also
is growing. Seven tumbly b!ack-legsed
black-muzzled lambs have already
taken their place in the flock and more
are expected.
"Of course President Wilson doesn't
personally shepherd the White House
sheep, but ne has taken lively in
terest in their welfare. This interest
is shared by the rest of the country
because the last wool clip given up by
the original flock of eighteen brought
probably the highest price of any ever
sheared. It was donated, il will be. re-
~ ambered by President Wilson to the
American Red Cross and auctioned of
in small lots thruout the country, add
ing over $50, 900 to the war fund of the
organization"
Reasons Why Boys Should Have Jobs
Some straight from the shoulder ad-
vice to Iowa and other commercial
org anizations of the nation was given
in the call OF the United states cham
Der of commerce recently issued on the
question Of employing returned SOL
dicrs.
Whether we look at soldier en-
ploynent from the patriotic or bust-
ness or social stand point, or from all
three combined, it is a matter that as
sumes large proportions, said the
chambers statement. From the pa
triotic standpoint, We owe a debt which
We can never repay to those VINO
fought for us. and to those who were
called out and ready to fight for US.
and the manner in which we treat
them Will affect the response to the
next call for patriotic service. From
a business standpoint, they are dis
cipiined men who have learned how
to handle themselves under a great
variety of experiences and circum-
stances, have acquired habits Of regul-
arity, cleanliness and prompt response
to duty which should make them man
for man more available and efficient
than others. Business is the only ele-
rnent in the community that can en-
10y them, and in accordance with the
ray they are treated by business, the
}Iders will regard business. From a
Jcial standpoint the country must
ok to business to provide them with
rnployment as Safeguard against
scontent."
