Lilly Eta exclaimed. Before she
could blink. Mr. Eagle landed them
in the tree and had flown away.
Wee Bruin climbed to the tree
top. took down the green umbrella
and gave 1t to Lilly Eta. Then
the two friends sat on the branches
Of the tree and had a feast of sweet
chocolate.
"Oh, how very thirsty ! ami"
cried Lilly Eta at last.
"Come with me, then, Lilly Eta,
and drink some soda from the foun-
TAIN" said Wee Bruin.
So they climbed down from the
tree and went to the s0dt fountain.
Such a wonderful fountain it was!
Five streams played from it. each
having a different flavor. You
may be sure that Lilly Eta drank
some soda from each stream.
Lilly Eta was very grateful to
Wee Bruin for his kindness, and
she wondered what she could do to
show her gratitude to her friend.
At last she thought Of plan.
"Ciose your eyes, Wee Bruin,"
said she. DO not open them till l
say, ready"
Then Lilly Eta took off her coat
and put it on Wee Bruin. Wee
Bruin opened his eyes.
"Oh, you lovely Lilly Etta!" he
cried. Now / have beautiful
yellow coat. I am the happiest
bear in the world.
At that moment Mr.. Eagle came
back.
"Now for a ride home" he cal
led.
Il can walk to my cave" said
Wee Bruin. for it is in the forest
near by"
Then he helped Lilly Eta mount
on Mr.. Eagles back, for her ride.
"Dind, dong! Ready! said Mr..
Eagle.
Wee Bruin waved his yellow
coat and Lilly Eta gently waved
her green umbrella in return. At
last Mr.. Eagle sailed gaily down
into a field near Lilly Etta's home.
Thank YOU kind Mr.. Eagle"
said Lily Eta. Then she jumped
off his back and ran toward her
home.
When she reached the house she
said to her Aunt Laura. "Oh, 1
have had such a fine time! / met
Wee Bruin in the woods today and |!
we rode on Mr.. Eagles back"
Aunt Laura laughed and laughed,
then she said, my dear girl you
surely have been dreaming.

SHEEP RAISING is PICTURED
Film Shows Treatment Of Flock at
Cuiling Time in Fall and on 20
Selling of Lambs.

A motion picture film dealing with
sheep on the farm has recently been
completed by the film Laboratories OF
the United States department of agri-
culture In cooperation with the bu-
reau Of animal industry. The film is
now available for use by county
agents, county or state sheep-breed-
ers' association, agricultural colleges.
and other department or cooperative
workers or agencies.
The film is In three sections and
four reels. About As minutes is re-
quired for the showing of the whole
production.
The subject treated In the first and
second reel is year with the flock on
the farm, beginning in the fall at the
time that the eve flock should be
culled prior to breeding. and carrying
1t on through until the lambs are sold.
Each seasonal practice Is brought out
and educational points are featured.
The third reel deals with the co-opera-
tive marketing of wool and lambs, and
the fourth reel with the slaughtering
of mutton sheep, dressing the car
cass, and then cutting 1t up for meat
consumption.

SHEEP BUSINESS PROFITABLE
Study Being Made Of Specialized
Raising With Complete Reliance
on Forage Crops.

Results of farm sheep experiment
reported by the United States depart
ment of agriculture show clearly the
possibility of profitable sheep-raising
business upon eastern lands. At the
government farm, Beltsville. Nd, a
study is being made of specialized in
tensive sheep raising with complete
reliance upon forage crops for sum
mer pasturage.
In 1915 a 30,acre area did not pro-
duce forage enough to feed satisfac-
torily A Southdown ewes and 33
lambs. This field is now capable OF
furnishing sufficient summer feed for
100 ewes with their lambs. The i'm.
provement is due In part TO the appli-
cation of manures, lime. and phos-
pilates, but chiefly to the fact that legu-
minous crops were largely used and
all crops were fed upon the ground.
Under the system followed forage
crops are seeded In rotation and the
sheep are allowed such frequent
changes of pasture as are necessary
to prevent troubles from parasites.

Fuel Oil Distribution to Be Regulated

COME plan for the regulation of the
~ distribution of fuel oil may be
resorted to If the present menace of
serious shortage continues. A con-
ference of representatives Of the lead
ing refineries and users of fuel oil to
work out some joint plan of distrtbu-
zion has been suggested by Secretary
of Commerce Alexander.
The suggestion has been made par
ticularly with reference to the situa
ton in California, in letter to Sena-
tor Phelal of that state. Secretary
Alexander opposes any embargo be-
cause of its effect upon American ex-
port trade. He takes the position that
an embargo should be used only as
last resort.
Latest figures show that the 6avy
now needs 100000 barrels of fuel oil
year and that the shipping board.
with its new merchant fleet, will re-
quire 100000 barrels for 1920 and
6o.OO0OO0 barrels for 1921.
The demand for fuel oil for the
ships of the navy and government
owned merchant marine alone equals
the present output of American re-
ineries for about four months.
Prices of oil have rapidly advanced,
contracts awarded by the shipping
board and navy during recent months

Old Employees to Lose Jobs and Pensions

No comparatively large number of

clauses of the retirement law which

u. S. Army Uniforms Will Now Fit the Men

THE ARMY has found the perfect

Uncle Sam had to equip his army. The

result was the same. The clothes
wouldn't fit.
