WHY THE HURRY TO
GET OUT OF SHEEP

There is no money in sheep with
wool at 20 cents a pound, so l sold
my ewes at $500 a head"
This was the statement of a Min
nesota farmer who was so enthus-
iastic about sheep when wool was
around 55 cents a pound that he pur-
chased additional ewes at a price of
SIS head.
This farmer was certainly cor
rect" says Williams l.. Cavert, Uni
versty Farm etxensionist. "when he
said there was no money in sheep
with wool at 90 cents, provided the
market for lambs is not high enough
to offset the low price Of wool. How
ever, believe that when one can buy
good ewes at $500 a head it IS a
good time to stay in the sheep bust
ness. If one has knowledge of sheep
and has the necessary feed and fences
he should certainly buy a few OF the
ewes that the neighbors wish to sell
at around half of the previous prices
or less. At any rate, 1t is certainly
q much better time to stay in the
sheep business or to get into 1t, than
when prices of ewes and wool are alb
normally high. The sheep and wool
market cannot go much lower and If
sheep growers get discouraged 1t will
not be many years before 1t Is much
better. Than those who now wish
to sell their breeding stock will want

TREASURE IN HOLD OF j.
SHIP OFF OREGON COAST
(By United Press)

Portland, Ore, May 27.-Down on
Ethe coast of Southern Oregon there
is mysterious old hula wreck that
antedates the memories OF the earliest
[settIers in the Oregon county.
The hold Of the ancient craft con con
Etains q cargo of metal bars, brass and
copper, perhaps even gold. This much
was determined last year for the first
Ftima -by an organized exploring par
ty that braved the swift tides and
[uuicksands Of Neskowin for few
hours, Just long enough to ascertain
THAT the hold contained ingots OF
some kind.
The curious ones were then driven
hack by the inrushing tide. When the
water had retreat2d again, the tricky
fNeskowin sands had shifted and the
wreck was almost out Of sight.
This summer the mystery is to be
solved, residents Of the Neskowin dis
trict declare. They are prepared to
spend considerable sum of money in
excavating. When all plans are ready
the trick must be turned in a few
rhouurs-beetWeen tides-or not at all
Success Of the expedition admittedly
depends to, q great extent upon the
favor of the elements, for in the. con-
stantly shifting sands and tides the
wreck. is sometimes raised high above
the. beach, and again covered with
tons Of sand and almost submerged
from sight:
- The, treasure-seekers will endeavor
to make their drive on a favorable
day. when the tide is low and the
wreck comparatively clear of sand.

with axes and shovels, and remove as
much Of the metal as possible before
the incoming tides drive the. invaders

the international matches of 1911,
1913, 1914, at Meadowbrook, L. I.
and what Tenby doesn't know about
polo isn't worth learning.
It is his knowledge of the game
that enables Tenby to remain the

REIGN OF TERROR IN
CHICAGO POLITICAL WAR
4 I. ags.4tt CIV United Press) ~
(By United Press)

Chicago, May 27.--Little Italy,
Chicago's 'tbloody 10Th" ward, was
sitting on top of a volcano today.
l None of, the thousands of residents
in the fued-torn section Of the city
are sure of their lives. Death by a
bomb or fusilade OF shots fired from
ambush may be dealt out at any time,
without warning.
The turbulent, history of the 10Th
ward started when Toney d'Andrea,
who had studied for the priesthood in
Italy, gave up his career and immi-
grated to Chicago.
/. The debonair and scholarly DAN
drea went into the ward and strove
for political power. The climax of
his stormy career came recently when
13 shots were fired into his body from
ambush. He died a few days later.
D'Andrea entered politics in 1914.
when he ran for county commission
er. He was defeated. In 1916, for
the first time, he contested the seat
lin city council of Alderman John
Powers, who has represented the
ward for rs years.
+ A bitter campaign followed, during
which Frank lombard, adherent of
the opposing faction, was slain in a
saloon.
5@aYour health" cried his assassins,
lifting their glasses.
! "Healthp' echoed the doomed man.
AS he raised his glass, guns blazed
and he fell behind the bar, shot
through the head. DAndrea lost the
election but his power continued to
grow. TO-, .,.
A few months ago hostilities broke
out again. when Powers and DAN
drea were contesting in the alder
manic elections.
The home of Powers was bombed.
Later, the political headquarters OF
D,Andrea was wrecked by an infer
nal machine when 800 of his lieu
tenants were meeting. Three were
seriously injured.
Again D'Andrea was beaten at the
polls. The day after election Gaetano
Esposito. Powers worker, was toss
ed out of speeding auto in the heart
Of the ward-his body riddled with
bullets. Harry Raymond, a Powers
aide, was found murdered the same
day.
Then came the murder of Paul La
briola, municipal court deputy bailitf
and a Powers lieutenant. He was
shot down while going to work. :,
Threats of reprisals were heard.
The shooting Of DaAndrea followed.

Without saying much about it to any
body else they decided to get married

At 80 o'clock they met at the Little

said to have refused to perform the
ceremony. Not desiring to go else.
where, Mayo telephoned his father
from the church and told him what was
about to happen.
Mr. Mayo said that it wasn't exactly
what he expected, but that he didn't
know just what ne could do about it
and gave his consent and congratula
tons Dr. Carney then readily officiat
