SHEEP PAY OUT ~
IN BRUSHING LAND

Sheep have lost some:standing and
caste because of the slump in prices
Of wool. But they are still good land
clearers, and M. j.. Thompson, super
intendent of the Northern Expert
ment station at Duluth, believes there
should be a place, in spite of present
wool prices, for small tlocks on un-
developed farms. a.
brushing burned overss station
land in the summer Of 1920" says
Mr.. Thompson" required nearly So
hours man labor, which cost at the
lowest figure more than SIS an acre.
Several tracts were brushed and the
average taken. On two other tracts
sheep and lambs were. pastured. The
entire flock were rotated; between
two pastures in order to keep the
brush down in both, prepared the
land for clover and kept the sheep in
good growing condition.
1.-The lambs came in mid April IN
early November they were weighed
and a portion sold. The latter aver
aged nearly 80 pounds each, and
brought nearly SO each without hav-
ing consumed a pound of grain, hay
or tame pasture feed.'

simple structure and, if natural ice
is near at hand, the expense for ice
during hot weather will be small
compared with the benefits derived.
Planer chips or sawdust make salts
factory insulation. 1t is important
that the ice' be stored when the tenn
perature is low so that the cakes can
be frozen together by the addition
of water. Ventilation as the ridge,
or by means Of Slated openings at
each gable end, is very important,
especially if the sun shines upon the
roof. Water from the melting ice
should be allowed to seep away
thru cinders or gravel or the ice
will melt rapidly in warm weather.
Copies of the plans can be procured
for 10 cents a copy to cover costs by
addressing the Office of Publications,
University Farm, St. Paul.

LOOT STORES OF FIELD MICE
North Dakota Indians Raid Caches Of
De'icaey, but Alwaysi%|l.eave Corn
In Ito Place.

~
In the northern part Of North Da-
kota there grows a bean which Is re-
lated to the peanut and Of which the
Indians of that section are very fond.
AS each plant bears but single bean'
the labor of gathering them would be
very great, but the field mice of that
section gather the beans and hide
them for winter consumption In under
ground storehouses.
The Indians know how to locate the
caches and in the autumn they go
forth and rob them, but the supplies
are invariably replaced with corn or
some other grain which the Indians
have in plenty, so that the little har-
vesters are, not starved out.
The beans have delicious flavor
and are highly priced. In the course
of a few days hunt one Indian may
gather two bushels, a few quarts being
secured from each of the underground
storehOuses. e..
The Indians say that this method OF
gathering food from mouse hoards
dates back to prehistoric times, but
the traditions of the tribes protect the
mice in that it is taught that dire pun
ishment falls upon those who take the
beans without replacing them WIN
corn.-Chicago Journal.

HARDER SCHEDULES FOR
=. BIG CRIDRoN nEVENS
BY Henry L. Farrell

Omitted Press correspondent
N ew York, Dec. 18-Glory in mod
ern football is not so much matter
of how many you beat as who you
beat.
Harvard hasn't lost a game in three
years, yet the Crimson is being ig-
nored each year when it comes to Sc
lecting a championship eleven.
whom did you beat?" the ex-
perts ask when Harvard howls for
recognition.
A successive string of victories
down velvet-padded road is not con-
vincing and .Ae big eastern elevens
are beginning to realize it.
Next season will see harder sched-
ules and a greater. number Of big
inter-sectional games than ever have
been arranged.
Two and perhaps three teams OF
the Western Conference are coming
east, according to present plans.
Chicago is to play Princeton, Hill
nois is considering a place on the
Yale schedule, and Ohio State, the
champions, will take on some big
team in these parts.
Harvard offered the buckeyes a
game, but refused to play in Oolum-
bus the following year and the Ohio
officials declined the invitation. Ohio
wants a big eastern eleven to open
the new million dollar stadium in
Columbus in 1922. Some talk is
being heard of the Navy team there,
with President Harding in lne "presi-
dental box"
The midshipmen play Pennsylva-
MIA in Philadelphia and Princeton at
Annapolis. while their rivals, the
West point Cadets, are dickering with
Columbia and Harvard in addition to
their annual game with Notre Dame.
Harvard plays an early game with
Centre College and also would like to
have Georgia Tech for another Satur-
day. Pittsburgh cancelled relations
with Tech, so the souherners must
seek another spot for their annual
trip to the north.
Princeton, with the prospect Of one
Of the greatest teams that ever play
ed in the east, is said to be plan
ming terrific schedule Of big games,
dotted with intersectional contests
that may earn for the Tigers the
national championship.
Syracuse and Dartmouth likewise
are looking to the west for visitors
on the promise to give them return
games in 1922.
Yale made no friends by cancelling
relations with Boston College. team
which beat them two years in sue
cession. But Boston, will have no
trouble getting big games.

PILGRIM Fathers Were separatists.

The Puritans sought the reform Of
the Church of England. The Pilgrims
were Separatists from the first, who
had already left England and formed
an independent congregation in Ley

land. They numbered forty.one fami-
lies, 1O2 persons landing ut Plymouth
December 20, 1920. They had. previ-
ously made a covenant known as the
Mayflower covenant, which bound them
into, civil state with a religious

FRICTION IS EA s D. =.
BY HARDlNC'S VISIT
El.S$ BY Raymond L. Clapper .
Omitted Press Correspondent, will
PresfTlent.elect Harding.)

Nh President.elect Harding.)
Sa Panama City, r. p. (By Mail. -
II The visit of President-elect Harding
to the capital of the Panamanian re-
public is resulting in noticeable in
crease in friendly feeling toward the
United States, according to Panaman-
ian officials and prominent Ameri-
cans here.
49, It was checked, for the time being,
TAT least, growing undercurrent OF
resentment toward the United States
which has been assiduously famed by
radical Pancmanians seeking to over
throw porras party now in power
and avowedly friendly to the Amer
lean government.
81 Harding accomplished this, Am
orleans here say, by his friendly re-
marks at the dinner given him by
President Porras and appearances at
informal receptions, where he en-
phasized the responsibility resting
on the Republic of Panama and in
sisted that the United States wanted
all countries to have, the same share
of freedom in international relations
that it desires for itself.
Friction has been developing for
some time, centering largely around
disputes over acquisition of land in
Panama to be used in fortifying the
canal. A treaty gives the United
States the right to purchase lands
for this purpose, but difference has
arisen over the price to be paid, the
American officials insisting on the
1904 valuation figures and Pana-
manians claiming this is too low now.
Just now the contemplated acquisi-
ton of sites on Toboga Island for ad-
ditional defenses at the Pacific end
of the canal is the center of friction.
This feeling reached crisis re-
Gently, when General Pershing was
on a tour of inspection in the canal
zone. Local politicians had been
haranguing a crowd in front Of the
Union Club, where General Pershing
was to be feted. The crowd got out
of hand and began throwing rocks
at automobiles in which Americans
were arriving for the banquet. Word
was dispatched to General Pershing,
who was about to start from the IT,
volt Hotel at Ancon and what might
have been q serious incident was
lucl Guy uSCAtCu'
President Porras, formerly Pana-
manian minister to the United States,
is exerting every effort to allay this
unfriendlJ feeling, and it was to as
sist him in this enterprise and to seek
a better understanding with the citi-
zens of the Panamanian repnhlic that
Senator Harding abandoned his reluc-
lance to visit foreign soil while I'm
Panama.
Leading citizens of Panama realize
fully, Americans here say, that it is
orlv with the backing Of the Unit
ed States that they are enabled to
preserve their independence. Colon
bia could, it is admitted, recapture
the GENTRY in brief time were it not
for to protecting influence OF the
United States. which unofficially as
sisted Panama in its secession from
Colombia. This situation. observers
here declare. is sufficient alone to
keep in check the extreme national
iets seeking to embitter the Pnna-
manians against the United States.

ALL LIQUOR STOCKS
MUST Be REPORTED
Government Must Know Where
Every Quart is Jan. II to ~;
False Returns Mean
Confiscation.

During the period beginning January
IL and extending to January q, every
quart of liquor held by saloon keeper,
wholesaler, or any other party or place
holding government liquor license, in this
district, must be reported to Collector OF
Internal Revenue Graham. This will be
done on blanks which Will be sent out
from Collector Graham's office.
National prohibition goes into effect
at 1901 o. m on January Ia, and plans
are already being perfected by the gov
ernment to rigidly and effectively enforce
it One of the effective parts OF these
plans will be checking up system of all
liquor stocks. Stocks found not re-
ported will be confscated by Federal
officials.
Owners of private stocks for their per-
sonal use will not be compelled to make
al inventory to the government. In
their own residences those who stocked
up before July may use the stuff them
selves or serve friends who are bonafide
guests, according TO a ruling made ut
Washington.
In this city something over 20n holders
of government LIQUOR license will have to
make their reports Blanks will be sent
out in few days from the office of Col
Iector Graham. The blanks will be for
warded TO holders OF government liquor
licenses. including retailers, wholesalers,
druggists, brewe-ies, clubs, hotels, etc,
and must be returned with detailed state
ment of al stocks on hand.
Removal of LIQUOR stocks from one
place to another after january l6 will
be taboo. In the case of residences,
private stocks can be transferred if
the owner moves to smother house. But
In case where suspicion arises or to
prevent any possible evasion OF the law,
. bond may be exacted by the federal
officials
A survey will be made of all places to
make sure Just how much is on hand and
where it is located. In this way the fed
eral authorities will be able to trace the
source of the supply in the event of any
violations of the law. Emphasis viii be
laid on the fact thst liquor men who
make wrong returns of their stocks should
know that the government has the
power 70 conhscate the goods.
