sheep industry did not thrive in
America. In 1901 a number of Mer-
mos were brought to Ohio, and some
Rambouillets were brought to New
York state. In 1902 a number of
purebred Merinos were sent to Con-
neticut, and in 1909 several thousand
of this same breed were imported to
Vermont. For many years these
states were famous for their sheep,
and today Ohio ranks as the leading
fine-wool and purebred sheep state
in the Union.
What are the leading sheep states
of the United States?
At the present time Wyoming, Ida
ho, Montana, New Mexico and Ohio
are the leading sheep and wool pro-
ducing states.
What are the leading sheep coun-
tries in the world?
Australia, Argentine and the
United States. The industry was
first began in Australia in 1888, but
did not assume any Importance until
1880. The first sheep to be taken
into Argentina was in 1913, so it
can be seen the present great wool
industry in these countries is only
about century old.
Into what classes are sheep COM
monty divided?
Three. First, the 'sfine wools," of
which the Merino is a well-known
member; second, the medium wools,"
which embraces a number of the
English or mutton types, the Shrop-
shire, Hampshire and Southdown be-
ing in this group; third, the 'long
woods" or coarse wools," in which
are found the largest members of the
breed, the Lincoln, Cotswold and Lei
cester pronounced Lester). 1t will
thus be seen that sheep can be as
easily identified as the different
breeds of dogs, for we know that a
collie has long coat of hair, while
a bulldog is short haired. Another
way to tell the different breeds of
sheep is by the color of the face.
Thus, the Merino, Cotswold, Dorset,
Lincoln and Cheviot are
light faced, while the Shropshire,
Southdown, Oxford and
Suffolk are dark faced. In addition,
some breeds have horns, such as the
Merino rams, while both the ram and
eve of the Dorset breed have horns;
the ancient rams horn used by the

HAVE TABERNACLE
FOR BIG REVIVAL
MOSCOW CHURCH PEOPLE PLAN
TO. BUILD TABERNACLE FOR
EVANGELISTIC MEETING

Robert O. Lewis, business agent for
the Bulgin- Lewis evangelistic party
which is to visit Moscow for a great
campaign beginning November 9, was
present Sunday afternoon at a mass
meeting of men from the churches
held in the M. E. basement. A repre-
sentative group of Moscow business
and professional men was called to
order by w. L. Payne, president OF
the executive board managing the
campaign. The purpose of the meet
ing was especially to take up the
matter of housing the meeting. 1t
was thought once that this matter
was settled and that the Williamson
building would be over hauled and
fitted up for the purpose. After Mr..
Lewis arrival he looked the ground
over and told the committee that in
his opinion a tabernacle could be built
and salvaged for less figure than to
nut the Williamson building in form
for successful meeting. The latter
presents some grave problems also,
such as the matter of perfect ventila-
tion such as required for 1900 people
gathered together. Then it was
doubtful if the building would seat
the people. Mr.. Lewis was confident
that DR.. Bulgin would have hearing
of at least from 1000 to $500, while
the Sunday night crowds we could not
hope to accommodate.
The whole matter was gone over
carefully and the unanimous decis-
ion reached was to build a tabernacle
to seat between 1000 and 5000. Lum-
ber will be ordered at once from the
local Yards and hauled to the ground
II ia expected. to build the tabernacle
by donated labor. Mr.. Lewis says
that if he can have so men he can
erect the structure in one day of 10
hours. Work will begin ON Friday
morning and it is expected that Sat,
urday night of this week the building
will be ready for the decorators and
for the first gathering of the great
choir. The men entered heartily
into the whole scheme and 19 pro-
fessional and business men at the
Sunday afternoon meeting said they
would don overalls and be at the
building Friday morning. Every
man Is to bring a hammer and if one
possesses a good saw, bring that Mr..
Lewis has built great numbers Of
tabernacles and often without a
single carpenter on the job. The
lumber is bought in 16 foot lengths
for most part and very little of it is
sawed. The tabernacle building has
been reduced to science. Every
thing is built in sections on the
ground and easily placed later. It
furnishes a building perfect as to
acoustics, and ventilation and easily
heated. It is rarely that any enc
ever takes cold in attending the
meetings, so perfect. are all tht re-

PUMPS PULLED
ON THE VICTOR

The mine situation is unchanged
save for the action Of the sheriff
IN granting commissions to all mine
watchmen thereby comforting full po-
lice authority. This action followed
the order of the miners meeting
last evening for all watchmen TO quit
their respective properties. At con-
ference this morning it was shown
that the presence Of watchmen was
as vital to the cause OF the en-
ployes as to the employers by pre-
venting irresponsible parties from
doing anything that might involve
the miners.
Last night it also was agreed that
all leasers and contractors suspend
work so long as the strike lasted.
It was reported to the meeting that
several companies were willing to
meet the demands and it was de
cIared the sense OF the meeting that
until the strike was called off that
no special privileges be granted,
