Decline Of the number of sheep in
the United States at the rate OF J.
100000 a year for the last twenty
vars or in more exact figures 20,24O,-
600 sheep reported by the authorities
at Washington has caused a wave Of
anxiety TO spread among those inter
ested in the livestock industry Of the
country. The report of the sheep
shrinkage following so closely on the
huge loss in the beef cattle popula-
ton given out earlier in the year
show how serious the meat situation
of the country is becoming.
World supremacy in the livestock
field Is TO pass from America unless
something is done within the next
year or so according to experts who
have been following the situation.
The slump in meat animal production
also Is the more remarkable in view
of the !nGh prices so inviting 70 To-
vclopm,at during the war.
according to experts unless the
farmer of this co"ntry awakes To the
situation not only will the livestock
industry have slipped from his grasp
but he will he forced to buy his
meats from abroad for his own sus-
tenance at prices that will astound
him

THE FRIENDS WE NEVER SEE

Around the corner I have a friend,
In the great city that has no end.
Yet days 20 by and weeks rush on,
And before I know # a year is gone;
And ! never see my old friends face,
For life is d swift ana terrible race.
He knows / like him just as well
As in the days when ] rang his bell
And he rang mine. We were younger
then,
And now we are busy, tired men
Tired with playing foolish game,
Tired with trying to make a name.
Tomorrow" say, 81 will call on Jim
Just to show him I'm thinking of
him"
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow
goes;
And the distance between us grows
and grows.
Around the corner-yet miles 'and
miles away
Here's telegram, sir" Jim died
to-day"
And that's what we get and deserve
in the end
Around the corner a vanished
friend. Selected.

ALIENS IN RUSH
GET PROPERTY
Hundreds File Claims With Custo-
dian ~ Washington,
Many Allowed.

Washington, Aug. En- a quiet
government building at Sixteenth and
T. streets more property probably Is
changing hands daily than az any
other point in the United States.
The building is the headquarters
Of the alien property custodian. That
official seized the American property
Of citizens of Germany and Austria
Hungary during the war. Now he is
faced with the task Of returning 1t.
Claims are pouring in by the hun
dred. Already nearly 5000 indiyidu-
al cases have been settled. More than
1900 are pending. The claims fall
broadly into three cases:
First-German or Austrian owned
corporations or branches of such cor
porations operating in the United
States.
Second-Enemy individuals hold
ing land in this country or money de-
posts i'm American banks.
Third-American citizens or others
who have debts against enemies and
were prevented from collecting them
by the seizure of the enemies prop
erty.
Facts and figures on individual
cases are held confidential. 1t is
learned from unofficial sources, how
ever that the claims of some enemy
corporations mount into the millions.
Prominent among these Is said to be
the Bosch Bagneto Company. which
is said to have claims totalinS $12,-
OOO. 900
Among individuals whose property
has been seized are several titled
Germans. Countess Won Bernstorff
American wife of the former German
ambassador to the United States, held
large tract of valuable property
which she IS trying TO recover.
Claims may be settled in two ways
they may he turned over directly to
Attorney General Daugherty or the
claimant may start suit in a United
States court. If Daugherty disal-
lows a claim. the claimant can sue.

Harry Carey's new baby had his
first horseback ride at Universal City
last week. We was taken to the set
where the famous star is working in
"Pardners," his forthcoming film,
and hoisted to a horse. With Harry
Carey's famous Flying Squadron
punchers standing around admiring-
ly, the little. fellow smiles cheerfully
and kicked the snorting cow-pony as
near the ribs as his little legs would
reach. He toured around the western

New York, Aug. 4.-Believing her

STORE LORE.

If you expect clerks to make sales
from catalogs, be sure your catalogs
are systematically arranged where
they can be found without keeping
customers waiting.
II you wait for all the conditions
TO be just right before you branch
out or enlarge, you will be running
the same little shop when it comes
times for you to retire.
Other things being equal, the man
who sells the most goods is the one
who asks the most people to buy,
asks them the most frequently and
the most persuasively. 1t certainly
pays TO ask.
When a customer has even small
grievance, treat that grievance as If
il were as serious a thing to you as
to him.

THE FIRST TOBACCO

The first recorded mention of to-
bacco is in Columbus dairy for No

weed was soon introduced into the
Spanish peninsula and about 1860
the French Ambassador at Lisbon,
Jean Nicot, sent some of the herb in
to France. when II was named in hon
or of the sender Nicotiana. 1t seems
to have been first brought to England
by Lanes returning colonists about
1886.

Scared Fish
Jumps Into
Rushing Boat

Let's take the old canvas
canoe out for a spin this morn
ing. We can go up and shoot the
rapids"
Ned Brickney's suggestion was
taken up by his chum immedi-
ately. shooting the rapids" has
a thrilling sound, even when the
rapids are somewhat less dan
gerous than those below Niagara
Falls, or the ones you read about
in stores of the Great North
Woods.
But these rapids, just above a
bend of the Olentangy River, in
Central Ohio. were fairly respect
able. With considerable work
you could drag canoe up
through the rushes near the
bank and coast back down q
short but bumpy descent in the
main channel. 1t was sport to
bounce along. ~ -......
Ned and Arthur had shot" the
rapids three times, anr were
peacefully gliding around the
bend at the end of the fourth
lap. All at once. without any
warning, a huge fish jumped into
the canoe. Ned, seated on the
fiat bottom, with his feet straight
out in front of him, tried to hold
it by clamping it between his
shoes. The fish was too strong,
and. in a series of prodigious
fiops, leaped into the other end
Of the boat. where the agile Ar
thur pounced upon him with his
hands and knees, and Ned's knife
finished the job. 1t was a four
pound black bass.
But why in the world should a
big bass jump unlimited into a
canoe? The boys looked at the
paddle and noticed a forgotten
piece of shiny metal. the end of
tomato can, that had been
tackled over a split in the blade.
Il guess he jumped at that
bright piece OF. tin," Art suggest

Well, he's a poor marksman,

It's the habits you form in
school that are important. II
you get the habit of being lazy,
