In the annual report of the secretary
of agriculture acknowledgment is
made of the cooperation and valuable
assistance given TO the government by
the motion-picture industry in placing
information and appeals of emergency
character concerning food production
and conservation and otfer vitality inn
portant subjects before patrons of mo-
tion-picture theaters. The secretary
also refers to the systematic develop

ABIDE WITH ME-.

On the shell torn soil of No Mans
land q dying soldier lay,
II fear no foe" he whispered again,
with thee at hand to bless"
His body racked and rent with pain
each breath was an agony.
He had watched the setting sun go
down, far in the golden West,
And now, on the silent battle line,
the whole world seemed at rest.
And, lying on that blood soaked
ground he thought of the hymn
he'd sung.
In the dear old parish church at home
in the days when he was young.
And there, in that deadly solitude,
with no one by his side,
abide with me-" he whispered low,
Fast falls the eventide."

GOOD QUALITIES OF SHEEP
They Compare Favorably With Other
Animals in Economy of Produc-
tion--keep Weeds Down.

Sheep can be made profitable on
high-priced land, 1t is said, as British
experience shows. They compare ia
vorably with other animals in econ
omy of production. They require a
minimum of expensive concentrated
feeds. They exceed the larger ami
mails in the rate of maturity; lambs
can be made ready for market at from
four to six months. They make pos
sible the economical and fuller use of
labor. They are of assistance in keep
ing the farms free from weeds. The
sheep farm Is usually NEEDLESS farm.

REDUCING COST IN FEEDING

Is in east central Iowa. The breeding
