Oldest Of Industries.

Perhaps the oldest OF all Industries
Is sheep raising. for II was practiced
even before agriculture. Wool is the
product OF cultivation or domestica-
ton, for there are no wild animals
which closely resemble the wool-bear-
ing sheep. Floyd w. Parsons in the
Saturday Evening Post says that with
he discovery that cloth could be made
from wool came an effort TO improve
the fleece by selection and breeding.
The early Romans were most success
mi IN this pursuit, eud their endeavors
along this line resulted IN developing
a fleece OF great hneness. After the
conquest of the Ibcrian peninsula, TtO-
man sheep were introduced into Spain.
where they so greatly improved the
native flocks that even during the Re-
man supremacy Spanish wool led the
worlds markets. prestige held for
lnnny centuries.

AsW STORY ABOUT PILGRIMS
Writers Claim Early Settlers In Ameri.
ca Were Kidnapped From the
London Virginia Company.

Some historians. notably Azell Ames,
who has compiled "The Mayfower and
Her Log" from original sources, as
sert that the skipper OF the Mayfower
was Capt. Thomas Jones, rough
seadog who had led a more OF less
plratical career on the high seas. Be
tween Capt. Jones and Sir Ferdinando
GOrges and doubtless Weston. they al
lege that q plot existed whereby the
Pilgrims were deliberately stolen from
the London Virginia company and
planted on territory outside OF the Vir-
ginia grant. The maneuvering about
Cape Cod, according to this interpre-
tatlon, was simply part Of the plot
to discourage. the Pilgrims from set
tling near tile Hudson. as evidently
they Intended when they left Holland.
The exact identity Of master Jones'
Is not clear Historians Of the Massa-
chusetts Historical society say that the
skipper was one Christopher Jones, a
Trustworthy man. entirely different
from Capt. Thomas Jones, who was
known 10 have q checkered career dur
ing his voyages to Virginia and other
colonies. The course Of American
colonial history may have been greatly
changed when the Pilgrims encoun-
tered the shoals and unfavorable
winds on Cape Cod. but this bit Of
destiny can be easily exaggerated. II
Is sufficient here to relate that the
Pilgrim colony was founded outside
the Jurisdiction OF the London Virginia
company.
