LAMB is WHOLESOME AND
HIGHLY DlGESTIBLE MEAT
Minnesota Ideally Placed for Sheep
Production Farms by
Destroying Noxious Weeds.

prepared by Office of Publications,
University Farm st. Paul.)
A great deal Of campaigning has
been done to increase the consumption
of lamb. The National Wool Growers
Association of Salt Lake City has been
prominent in this work, having issued
an attractive bulletin entitled, "Whet-
ting Uncle Sans Appetite for Lamb
Packers have put on lamb demonstra-
tions" at their branch houses and at
car route towns. One that was of
great interest was held at Duluth a
year or so ago. It was carried on, for
an entire week and a remarkable in
crease in the use Of lamb was noted.
Meat Highly Digestible.
Lamb is a wholesome nutritious
food and should be found on every
table! att least once a week. It IS
highly ydigestible and very palatable
and for these reasons is Used for ein-
valids and convalescents in the form
Of broth. Lamb is healthful, as fewer
animals are condemned by govern
ment inspectors than any other class
of animals. Lamb contains less water
and more fat with an equal amount of
digestible protein than beef. It adds
variety to the meat diet. The cuts are
not so large, making very desirable
roasts. Best Of all, the price is rea-
sonable.
Many people have condemned NUT
ION and lamb for having woolly or
oueky flavor. With modern methods
If slaughter and correct handling, this
S no longer true. One can overcome
his by patronizing butchers or meat

NAVY PERFECTs STAR SHELL
Success Marks It's Use as substi.

Washing -Extensive experiments
to develop the use of "star shells as
a substitute for searchlight in search
ing for enemy craft are being con-
Quoted by the Navy department with
what some officers describe as eon-
siderable success.
A .nashless" powder is being used
in propelling the shells from the guns.
The shells light up the sea for a wide
area and officers explain that, il they
can be projected without betraying
flash from the ship firing them, they
will be a far advance over the search
light, as the beams from the latter be
tray the exact location of the ship
projecting them
is said that experiments have now
reached the point where star shells
that will illuminate for several min
utes a great area Of the sea far dis
tant from the firing ship have been
perfected, and along with them a
powder which shows no fame or flash
when the "star shells are projected
from the ship. For guns of three in

to work almost perfectly, but in the
large guns it is understood that all

THIS MAKES Mr.. HAYS HAPPY
His Policy Of Humanizing the Post

Washington.-Pos ostmaster Will n.
Hays probably is the happiest man in
Washington today. His slogan
'IHumanize the Postoffice Department" !"
has. been carried out to what appears
/ to be the limit. Here is the story:
IN a little Nebraska farmhouse a
woman lay dying for lack of medical
attention. The nearest physician was
DR.. Selby at North Platte. True, North
Platte was only two miles away, but
between the dying woman and the
physician was the South Platte river,
flooded to raging torrent that had
swept away every bridge near and
far. 3s
DR.. Selby had telephoned to every
town within radius of twenty miles.
At each turn it was the same dis
heartening story bridges gone and
no way Of fording the turbulent
waters.
Just when all hope seemed gone,
DIR. Selby remembered something.
Somewhere he had read that the post
master general was "humanizing' the
postofice department.. He rushed to
the telephone and asked 6. "A. Sluder,
manager of the air mail field at North
Platte, to take him across the river in
an airplane.
Sorry" said Sluder 'but 4 couldn't

TOURISTS ARE ANGRY
Extortion Practieed il, Paris
Arouses Americans.
French Authorities Tell Them the
4 /, Remedy Is in Their Own
Hands.

Paris The effect of the high cost
,!of living in Paris upon tourist trade,
sas indicated by tie growing frequency
of complaints of extortion by Ameri-
cans visiting France, is occupying the
attention of the government.
The authorities hold that the tour
lists have the cure largely in their
own hands, exaggerated prices being
due in large part to indiscriminate
spending by u VISITORS aided by the
spendthrift tendency Of French prof
iteers.
It is admitted that abuses prac-
ticed in amusement resorts, where
meals, vine and dancing are provided,
have their effect upon prices in gem
eral, but how to correct that evil
without discouraging the most profit
able trade is question.
Undersecretary Of State Paisant,
discussing the question with Ameri-
cans, proposes publicity as a remedy.
He has invited American visitors to
join in protest which will be pub
lished in the Paris press, and he also
will take up personally lndividu
cases Of extortion brought to his at
ltention.
The most frequent causes Of com
plant are charges for odgings in ho-
tells and apartments. Mr. Paisant told
the Americans he had decided to ask
hotels to publish their rates III the
papers. This remedy would not, how
ever, affect apartments, which are the
subject of vprofteering on scale
hitherto unknown.
There are very few unfurnished
apartments to let, according to the
real estate agencies; as fast as
vacated by tenants, they are trans
formed into furnished apartments and
either let at rentals Of from 800 to
1000 per cent higher than the average
before the war for furnished apart
ments of the same class, or rented at
an increase Of 200 to 300 per cent
above the average for unfurnished
apartments, with the proviso that the
tenant buy the furniture at excessive
figures.

lists Of the Minnesota college Of agri-
culture, by removing the thin outer
skin, commonly known to the meat
trade as "fell," or having her dealer do
it for her. I.
Minnesota is ideally placed for
sheep production, according to Philip
A. Anderson Of the division Of animal
industry, University of Minnesota.
"small focks we'll husbanded," he
says, "are more successful than large
focks poorly cared for. Twenty-Five
to SO ewes can be cared for nicely on
most farms north Of the twin cities.
The farms where sheep are kept are
more free from noxious weeds.
Housing Not Problem. 3..
"The labor necessary to. care for a
small flock is neglible during most Of
the year, the lambing season generally
coming when the farm work is not. SO
pressing. Fencing has been one Of the
draWbaeks, the cost being q the first
consid Iteration, but a. very good fence
mayH be constructed esof S three foot
woven wire with two or three barbed
wires on top. The housing necessary
for protection need not be expensive.
Single board walls with a good roof is
all that is needed as sheep need not
be protected from the cold but from
the snow, rain and wind
1T was clearly demonstrated the
past summer, that had it not been for
the native lambs obtained, the lamb
market at South st. Paul would not
have amounted to much, as few west
ern lambs arrived. This fact, and the
rather steady prices obtained, should
encourage the Minnesota farmer to
produce more lamb. Lambs can be
produced cheaply under prevailing
feed prices and should be an attractive
enterprise"

Chicago John Shebec.s who is 81
years old, discovered the elixir of
youth the other day. Before taking
he was stopped, lame, decrepit, hope
lessly senile. After one. dose he was
able to hop. speeding street car,
OUTRAGE f1ivver, and stand on his ear.
Mr.. Shebec was first observed by
Detective Sergeants Bierndt and
Janaczak at Western avenue and Madi-
son street. He was llmping. Il.
"Give me a quarter for carfare,
please" he asked them. Bierndt
started to explain that transportation
in this City Of the Horn may be pur-
chased, theoret tically, at a nickel ride
and, = if one is travelling IN the sub
urbs outside the precincts Of the city
hall, at 8 cents. He meant to follow
up this information with a remark that
the old mans two-bit demand was a
bit exorbitant. He was interrupted,
however, by a citizen who burst from
the corner saloon. ..E5
He Sees a Star.
"You old rascal, I just gave you
carfare," shouted the man.
AHA" quoth Bierndt, 'come with
me-
He exhibited his star. One casual
glance at the glittering elixir worked
marvellous transformation. 1t pene-
trated the ancient's system instanter
and invested his feet with a Zest for
voyage.
The next instant Shebec was ten
yards away. The instant after that
he was scarcely discernible for dust.
'Holy haste!" exclaimed Bferndt.
4',That guys exceeding the speed limit.
What he. needs is pair Of brakes"
The detectives jumped into their
flivver and tore after the vanishing
Shebec. About a block ahead was a
street car, travelling at. the rate Of
numerous miles per hour. It; saw
the ancient chasing it and tried to get
away. "a ~
''Too burned Slow"
No use! With an easy leap Shebec
/ had achieved 1t4iitel the step. Then he
looked behind him and saw that the
police fivver was making better time
than the street car.
you're too burned SLOW" said he to
the condueto md off he jumped. The
particular section of the metropolis
into which the ancient leaped was a
bit populated. The abundant citizenry
impeded his progress and made
straight running Impossible. In the
zigzagginz which ensued the fivver
had time to catch up and Shebec was
apprehended. In his pockets were
found twenty 81 bills and about So in
coins.

WRITES FINS TO
eUFFEY'S CAREER.
Wall Street Once More Puts Her
Quietus on Man Who Was,
Too Ambitious.
HIS STORY IS SENSATIONAL
Nephew of Colonel Guffey, Who Made
and Lost Many Fortunes, Himself
Did Some Very Spectacular
Things With Oil Stocks.

New York. When the directors re-
signed the other day and the Tide
water Oil company, a Standard Oil
subsidiary, thus got control of the
Gufey- Gillespie Oil company, insiders
knew Wall street once more had writ
ten "fnis" to the career of a man who
"bit off more than he could chew
The victim was Joe Guffey, more
formally Joseph f.. Guffey of Pitts
burgh, and fully described thus:
President Of the Guffey Gillespie Oil
company, with leases covering 100000
acres in the Mid Continent and Texas
fields.
President of the Atlantic Gulf Oil
corporation, controlled by the Atlantic,
Gulf & West Indies Steamship lines
and operating around Tampico.5
President Of the Colombia, syndicate,
controlled by Guffey Gillespie and
"sAgwi'' and owning million acres of
oil lands along the Magdalena river in
South America.
Director of Reliance Life Insurance
company, and several Pittsburgh
| banks.
Democratic national committeeman
from Pennsylvania, promoter and
"angel" of A. Mitchell Palmer's last
presidential boom.
Former director of sales for the
alien property custodian.
Uncle Lost Many Fortunes.
Back Of this announcement lies a
story seldom equaled in American
business and political biography. 1t
parallels the story OF another Gufey OF
a preceding generation. For Joe Guf-
fey is a nephew of old Col. James M
Guffey, also Of Pittsburgh, said to have
made and lost more fortunes in Oil
than any other person in the United
States.
BY 1919, when the partnership was
reorganized as the Guffey Gillespie Old
company, it had become one Of the
largest in the midcontinent field. In
addition, Guffey & Gillespie, with 9th
er Pittsburghers, ACQUIRED 125,00f
acres Of oil lands in Colombia, and the
Colombia syndicate was formed.
Then "Agwi'' entered the Mexican
field, organized the. Atlantic Gulf Oil
company, and elected Guffey president
Boosted Stock to $50.
Last summer Guffey found the bears
out cunning for Guffey- Gillespie stock,
although it had earned So share tbs
year before. Gufey began. the fight
which ended Tuesday in total defeat
Putting in almost every dollar he had
and borrowing 100000, he formed a
+ pool to "peg" the stock with New York
and Pittsburgh friends.
Late in February Guffey's pool tried
to rout the bears and boosted the stock
from % to 80. The effort exhausted
his strength, and the bears, buying in
New York and selling by wire in Pitts
burgh, flooded the latter market. When
the price reached 20 the Pittsburgh
banks called their loans.
The Tidewater Oil company took
over the stock held as collateral and
bought enough more to give it voting
control. Guffey, Gillespie and the old
directors attempted to fight for places
in the reorganized company. Tide
water asked for their designations, and
called for a receiver. .S
