VETERANS OF THE GAR.
INTERESTED IN LEAGUE
Notable Feature Observed in Pop.
ular Gathering at Recent In
diana State Fair.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September IL
The Indiana state fair. which has been
in progress during the last week. has
brought many politicians to the city and
has offered an opportunity for those
who are studying political conditions.
Women representing both parties had
headquarters at the fair, and hundreds
Of women. with their new rights of citi-
1enship. were registered from all over
the state. Political speeches were made
daily at the fair by speakers representing
both parties. among them Senator Wat
son. 1t was a matter Of interest that
the league Of nations issue seemed to
receive more attention from the G. A R
veterans at the fair than from any other
source. A man Of wide political expe-
Renee said that never before had he
heard so much political talk among the
veterans Of the civil war. Among the
farmers and others the league issue did
not create great interest. There is
munity at least the interest in the league
question will be greater among the civil
war soldiers than among the world war
veterans.
Something new was started in Indiana
this week when the republican state
committee held a school for campaign
speakers at the headquarters at the
SEVERN Hotel. The school was secret,
but the word leaked out that the speak
ers were to be instructed to strike hard
against the league of nations draft as il
was brought back to this country by the
President, and to speak strongly for pre-
serving the nationality OF the United
States.
Registration Of voters in Indianapolis
showed that there are many women who
are listing themselves as 'independ-
ents." Democrats are encouraged by
this, because they believe the women
are interested in the league of nations
question and wish to make a further
study Of it before announcing their po-
litical stand. Registration also showed
that women of German extraction did
not register. 1t has been known all
along that they did not take very kindly
to the equal suffrage proposal Demo-
Gratis were encouraged by their failure
to register. because they believe If they
register they will vote the republican
ticket. Returns showed that the repub-
licans got the best Of it in the registra-
.tfon. Registration in the republican
wards was unusually heavy. In the
democratic wards it was light. Most of
the German women live in the demo-
cratic wards. CURTIS HODGES

cause rent and living costs were high

Senator Kenyon characterized the

II agree with you, senator" Senator

FACTS SHEEP MEN
OUGHT TO KNOW
Freight on Sheep From st. Paul is
Less Than That on Montana
Stock.

| At recent conference of the men,
bers of the Extension Division of the
State of North Dakota, the question
was brought up as to the point where
sheep can be purchased to the best
advantage and at the lowest figure.
Some valuable information was COM
piled on the marketing and shipping
of sheep. For instance, the prospec-
tive sheep-raiser should know that
shipping small shipments of ewes
from South St. Paul will cost about
$1.5O per head, while shipping from
Montana will amount to So per head.
The market divides breeding ewes in
to four classes, yearling, twos and
threes, full-mouths "a to 6 years) and
broken-mouths CASUALLY 6, and 8
years old); also into two classes,
western" (white-face, fine wooD and
natives" (black face, medium woody.
The average weight of ewes runs
about as follows: Natives, 40 to lis
lbs; westerns IS to 105 pounds. Sheep
are always loaded in double-decked
cars and will run lis ewes to the
deck Westerns will load 12O to 1875
and feeder lambs lao to 145 to the
deck.
1t is not advisable to feed out sheep
unless they have feed and shelter to
carry them past the fall run in case
of a price slump. 1t is an open ques-
ton as to whether lambs or wethers
feed out best. If lambs are bought
get them small enough SO they may
be carried until the holidays without
getting into the heavy class, i. e., IS
lbs. or above. A fifty pound feeder
lamb, if growthy and big boned, is the
best buy.
I At the livestock markets, all sheep
are bought by the pound. In Montana
feeding sheep are usually sold by the
pound and breeding stock by the
head.

ATTENTION NORTH DAKOTA
FARMERS!
Purchase Flock of Sheep for $40

DR.. Don McMahan of the Extension
Department of the Agricultural Col.
lege returned this morning after hav.
ing made a first hand investigation OF
the supply and prices of breeding ewes
and feeding sheep at the So. St. Pau
Stock Yards. His recommendations
and findings follows:
Now is the Time to Buy Breeding
Ewes.
Farmers considering a small flock
have an exceptional opportunity to
secure start at an unusually low
figure this fall. The temporary de-
liberalization of the wool market has
affected breeding eve prices in most
disastrous manner. Since September
first wool has started to move and it
becomes increasingly apparent that
the market for good grades of virgin
wool cannot be forced back to pre-
war levels. The market on breeding
ewes, however, is not very elastic and
responds slowly to the conditions gov :
erning profitable sheep production.
The time, therefore, is ripe NOW to
buy ewes"
Good Breeding Ewes at 81 to IS
ewes one, two and three years old
in thrifty condition and of good con-
formation and quality are selling on
the market at Sc per cwt., and will
weigh from 80 to 100 pounds. So
called full mouthed' ewes flour to six
years old) in fair condition $3.50 to
IS per cwt. Ewes of light type with a
sprinkling of broken mouths can be
bought for $3.50 to 81 per cwt. These
latter ewes are probably the best buy
for feeding purposes. If carefully
sorted after having been few months
on feed fifty per cent Of them could
be kept for breeding purposes and the
balance marketed as killers at a profit
able margin over purchase price,"
"The writer on September 18th saw
a load of good ewes, some two and
three years old and none over four, Of
mixed breeding, altho with a predcn,
inence of Shropshire blood, with good
large frames and plenty Of vitality,
sell for cents per pound. Similar
ewes to those selling now at $3.50 to
SIS per cwt. were finding ready sale
last year at SO to $3.50 per cwt. !"
Now Also is the Time to Buy
Feeder Sheep
"The supply of feeder lambs is very
limited. Owing to good feed in the
range country this year large ma
Jority Of the young stuff will be in
slaughter condition. Feeder lambs.
can, however, be bought on the present
South St. Paul market at 1925 per
cwt., in limited quantities. On the
Omaha market feeder lambs are bring
ing very nearly the fat lamb top, or
around $1,000. Feeder lambs can
probably be bought cheaper at South
St. Paul than on any market in the
country. Feeder sheep are no doubt
going to be scarce this fall. Omaha's
run last week was 10000 less than the
same week year ago. All indications
point to higher level for this class
Of stuff later in the fall"
Speculation Discouraged
Farmers should carefully consider
shelter, feed and water before pur-
chasing and buy only such numbers
as can be adequately provided for.
Farm focks of rs to 100 head are rec
commended and feeders can be recon-
mended up to one or two cars.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-10-07

to be shipped great distances and the
buyers won't take chance on thin
horse. A fat horse always sells well
enough, but thin one takes too much
feed to get it in good shape.
Any farmer wishing to consign to
these sales should write to the County
Agent, giving number, weight, sex
and age.
The sales will be held in November
at Minot, Berthold and Ryder, the
dates to be announced later.

A number of inquiries have come to
the County Agent regarding the horse
sales to be held in Novebmer. The
purpose Of these sales is to furnish a
market for the surplus horses of the
county.
We wish to caution the farmers
against expecting big price for their
horses. There is little or no local
market for horses, but with a series
Of sales over the state there will be
horses enough on sale to attract the
buyers from the East and South where
they want the class Of horses we have
to sell.
These buyers, however, are not go
ing to pay big price for horses when
the market is low as it has been for
the last year. Farmers who have
horses for sale should not hold them
for the sales if they can get reas-
enable price for them.
Every horse consigned should b. IN
