What will be the attitude of tn,

ward this great host of returning ant
new republicans? Will the mistake
be made in dealing with them-the
mistake that was made by some re-
publican leaders in 1916-of treating
them as though they were on proba-
ton; or will they be received with
the welcoming hand of fellowship and
be made to feel that they are wanted
as well for their counsel as their
votes? AS these questions may be an
swered the tenure of power and re-
sponsibility of the republican party
will be determined.
1t is the judgment of The Spokes-
man-Review that the welfare of the
country and the complete success of
the republican party require that able
and upright representatives of this Zig
new element in the party-both re-
turning republicans and former dem
ocrats-should be invited to take re-
%sponsible positions under President
Harding's administration and in state
government and be given an oppor-
tunity to help work out the difficult
problems before the nation.-The

Spring lambs are now bringing
from eight to 10 cents a pound, live
weight and bring from $3.50 to $40
per head. There ought to be good
money in raising sheep at that price
even though it is lower than the high
est prices paid during and since the
war. The writer sold Hagan & Cush-
ing a bunch of fine lambs eight
years ago, for less than five cents a
pound and they averaged $4.08 each,
which was regarded az a good price
then and left a neat profit. The
''sheep kings of Washington, Oregon
and Idaho grew rich by raising lambs
and selling them in the fall at five
and six cents a pound, and selling
wool at from Is to 25 cents a pound,
the latter being far above the ave-
rage price, and a figure seldom reach
The sheep industry is not ruined
because the price of mutton and wool
have fallen from the high points
reached during and soon after the
war. There is still good profit to be
made in handling sheep and especial
Iy having a few on a grain farm.
