tained by experiments at the govern.
ment sheep ranch near Dubois. Idaho.
which has been In operation two years.
Formerly II was customary for range
sheep men to discard ewes which did
not bear lambs when two years old.
Extensive Investigations BY the depart
men Of agriculture have developed
that such owes are just ~ valuable for
future breeding - those which bear
lambs a. two-year-olds.
Individual records are kept on the
government sheep ranch relative to the
weight Of fleece. length Of fleece. char.

mutton quality Of each animal. while
detailed account II maintained Of the
offspring Of each eve. The particular
utility Of the results obtained arises
from the fact that the flock u handled
just a. are all similar bands Of sheep
in the hands Of Wyoming stockmen.
Experiments are being conducted to
develop type Of sheep more suitable
TO the western range conditions than
the types now prevalent. 1t II hoped
to extend this work In both mutton
conformation and length and weight OF
fleece.
There are at present about l.s0O

Broken Leaders Same
as Battling Soldiers

SOMETHING Of Col. Roose-
velt's feeling with regard to
life-and death--was expressed
beautifully in an address in Madi-
son Square Garden, October 80,
1912:
1.-THE leader for the time being,
whoever he may be, is but an in
strument, to be used until broken
and then to be cast aside; and if
he is worth his salt he will care
no more when he is broken than
a soldier cares when he is sent
where his life is forfeit in order
that the victory may be won. In
the long fight for righteousness
the watchword for all of us is
spend and be spent. II is of
little matter whether any one
man fails or succeeds; but the
cause shall not fail, for it is the
cause of mankind. We here in
America hold in our hands the
hope of the world, the fate. of the
coming years; and shame and dis
grace be ours If in our eyes the
light of high resolve is dimmed,
if we trai! in the dust the golden
hopes of men,"

fight for Amercanism. merely because
the war Is over. There are plenty OF
persons who have already made the as
sertion that they believe the American
people have short memory and that
they intend TO revive all the foreign
associations which most directly intor-
fere with the complete Americanization
OF our people.
"our principle in this matter should
be simple, In the first place we should
insist that II the immigrant who comes
here in good faith becomes an American
and assifnilates himself to us. he shall
be treated on an exact equality with
every one else, for II is an outrage to
discriminate against any such man be-
cause of creed or birthplace or origin.
But this Is predicated upon the mans
becoming In fact an American and moth
ing but an American. II he tries to keep
segregated with men OF his own origin
and separated from the rest OF America
then he isn't doing his part as an
American"
And his last public utterance was In
these words:
And we have room for but one soul
loyalty, and that is loyalty to the Ameri-
can people
There have been epitaphs written upon
the tombs OF men that fltted the char-
acters OF the dead far more loosely
than these words, II may be conceived,

Several Operations Performed.

The gravCst concern the Colorcrs con-
dtion had caused his friends up TO this
time arose on February !. 1918. when he
was removed to Roosevelt Hospital after
an operation at oyster Bay. This first
operation, it became known. had not
been successful. and Drs. Walton Martin,
Arthur h. Duel and William Downs de-
cided at q conference upon second OPP
Grafton.
The next day three operations were
performed, one on an abscess in his
thigh and the others on each Of his ears.
At the time this was announced in the
following statement issued by his sec
rotary:
"Col. Roosevelt has gone 10 Roosevelt
Hospital, where he will be operated upon
for two subsidiary assesses which the
poisoning OF his system produced in his
ears. resulting from his Amazorian ex-
ploration four years ago.
Tie returned from the trip suffering
| from the effects Of a very severe equa-
| torial fever. He has been able 90 work
just as actively during the last four
! years, but has now and then had re-
/ lapse, during which he was laid up. The
doctors now are going to treat the whole
matter fundamentally. and believe that
thereby they will get rid OF the entire

On the following day his condition
, became serious. due TO an infection Of
the left internal ear. 1t was feared
