sheep EXHIBITION
Of SQRQo||5 FARMS
ATTRACTS INTEREST

One of the centers of attraction at
the new sheep pavalion at the South
eastern fair is the exhibit of the
Sorosis farms, of Marblehead, Mass.
which consists of a number of prize
winning rams and ewes from the
celebrated New England farm own
ed by the A. E. Little company, Of
Lynn, Mass.
The Georgia sheep industry is
comparatively new, according to Off
Gals OF the live stock department at
the fair, and the splendid exhibit
of imported Shropshires, Hamp-
shires, and Cheviots is creating a
great deal of interest among stock
growers of the state who have lately
turned their attention to sheep
raising. Georgia is declared to be
an ideal state for the industry, the
hill sides of north Georgia in par
ticular affordi1fg excellent pasturage
for future large herds.
The Sorosis exhibit has been
shown at fairs in all of the New
England states and several eastern
states in addition. 1t is generally
conceded to be one of the best col.
lections of blooded sheep ever seen
in this country. Heading the South
eastern fair exhibit from this farm
is one of the very finest animals in
the country, Lord Wadsworth. a
observation-disclosures Hampshire ram
imported from England after taking
a number of prizes at a fair at
Cardiff, Wales, two years ago. This
ram was one of nearly a hundred
bought in England by the Sororis
management,
The Sorosis farm is the result OF
efforts by the Little Shoe company,
of Lynn, Mass, to provide it's thou
sands of employees with farm prod
ucts at cost. The sheep raising fe3-
ture is merely a sideline, it is stated
by officials in charge of the exhibit
The farm specializes in all kinds OF
pure-bred stock, particularly cattle
and hogs. The farm is a con
structive institution operated along
modern lines with the latest anu
best of equipment. The raising OF
breed standards, while considered
important, is not the only purpose
Of the farm. The farm lis located
near historic Marblehead, a short
distance from the main factory Of
the company at Lynn.

Against High Water

VICKSBURG, Miss, Oct 21.-
Preliminary plans have been COM
pleted for the construction of a A.
OO0-foot seawall to protect this city
from a 60foot stage of water in
the Mississippi river and to prevent
a recurrence of the inundation in
the lower parts Of the city during

proaches to the river landing which
can be closed and made water-tight

sued. A sharp decline in Liverpool market

later by liquidation induced by the reported

brought down from Winnipeg by a local
exporter in anticipation of Il cut in the
Chicago-New Orleans rate. but the petition

learned that the cargo was only billed

LIGHT BREAKFAST
IS PERIL Of PARIS
BY NEAL O'HARA
(COpyright, 1927

PARIS.-So this is the town they
shoot themselves in over Peggy Hop
kins! Well, they picked a good,
live town to do it in. Paris Is all
they said it was-plus the war tax.
After spending two weeks in this
hamlet you don't want your money
back.
Paris is one of those places that's
open all night. The railroad time
tables run from 100 to 24.00 o'clock
and the citizens are active on that
schedule also. The only guy that
gets any sleep at all is the censor
for the music shows they have in
town. He's been asleep since they
opened the season.
And they spared no expense when
they laid out this burg. It's as
broad as it is broad-minded It's a
taxi ride to cross the Avenue
Champs Elyses. You get insured
against accidents for three months
to cross the Place Vendome once.
If you think Fifth avenue is wide,
roll another pill for yourself. A
Paris boulevard makes it look like
an alley.
The Only Trouble
The only trouble with Paris is
+ri1 iciT O
signs. No billboards, no million
candIepower designs, no trick in
candescent stuff. Absolutely moth
ing but architecture. You can glance
at the skyline and only see a Goth
ic tower instead of the latest an
nouncement of gum. They've got
statues, friezes and bas-reliefs where
they ought to have dope on what
corsets to wear, what auto tires
won't bust or what cigarettes give
the most satisfaction. To the In
nocent Abroad it's a dirty trick tc
take away this homelike touch
France could pay its war debt in
six months fiat if it rugged up ad
vertising space on the Eiffel tower
or sublet three-sheet privileges fol
1t is possible to be homesick in
Paris, but the last case reported OF
that ailment here was back in 1896
And then it was a blind guy that
wanted to be home. No one stop
ping hers from the United States
ever lost sleep worrying for the
folks at home. When it's 8 o'clock
in the morning here it's 10 p. m.
in the U. S. A. The folks at home
have all gone to bed by then, SO
what's the use of worrying about
'em?
Paris Different
Yep, Paris is different. Nothing
done here like in the land Of the
taxpayers. Except one item. You
can't understand what the news
boys holler, the same as you can't
at home. Otherwise, Paris is plenty
different from us. It's boulevards
are adorable, it's taxis are reason
able and it's booze is drinkable. You
can't ask for more than that! In
foreign exchanges francs are worth
three for a quarter-and for SIS
worth of local money you could get
Clemenceau to jump through 4 hoop.

TIErUP IS THREATENED IN
 WHOLE ANTHRACITE FIELD
April First May See Closing of Mines Due te
 Mems Wage Boost Stand

WILKES-BARRE, Pa., March IT, Not since 1902, when the anthracite industry was almost completely tied up by a six months strike of the United Mine Workers of America, has said the hard coal fields faced a situ- ation fraught with greater danger of industrial stagnation than at present. angerous as the situation really is, there is back of it, nevertheless, the deep-rooted belief that peace is not impossible and that April 1 may see no closing down of anthracite mines
 Anthracite operators are not talking strike. Neither are the United Mine Workers of America. Yet each side is preparing for emergency. Neither will say that a strike will not come, nor will they admit that a suspension is certainty.
 While there has come an open break between the bituminOus men and their employers, a like situation does not exist in the anthracite.
