only 36,000,000 sheep in the country
as compared with 64,OOO,O00 in 1903.
This is a decrease of 1877 per cent
during a period when the population
increased steadily. 1t is hardly prob
able that dogs are responsible for
such a reduction, but, in the opinion
of the author, there would be many
more sheep in a great many farming
sections if there were more good dog
laws backed up by public opinion. The
possibility of producing early-matur-
Ing lambs from a maximum of pastur-
age and inexpensive r%oughages, and
the country's need for an increased
supply of meat and wool, he cites as
reasons why sheep production should
be one of the most profitable enter
prises Of the farm.
Bulletin Is Available.
In addition to the discussion of
laws, the bulletin devotes some at
tention to the habits Of sheep killers,
to dog-proof and wolf-proof fences,
and suggests how dog lovers may aid
in preserving the reputation Of the
respectable members of the species.
The bulletin may be obtained free by

culture, Washington, d. G.

FREE BOHEMIAN TRIP FOR
THREE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS

Three boys from each high school
will receive a free trip to the Boys
Vocational conference at Bozeman
during Farmers Week. 1t is neces-
sary for three men to compete by
competitive merits in each of their
respective high schools in the art of
stock judging covering the classes of
dairy, and beef cattle, sheep, hogs
and horses. Through the Vocational
Agriculture Department and the su-
pervision of Mr.. Abbey, who has re-
ceived special consideration and CON
session from both the Northern Pa
cifc and Great Northern Railroad
this trip has been made possible.
The six high schools in this county,
Wolf Point, Poplar, Brockton, Gull
b~ertson, Bainville and Froid have in
dicated their desire to enter this con-
test and through the assistance of
the county agent an outline course
will be furnished each of these high
schools and special instruction given
to each of them in each Of the classes
of livestock mentioned.

WHERE THE RETAINED
VETERANS ARE EMPLOYED

Considerable interest has been
manifested in the question of where
and how the disabled Veterans who
are being trained by the u. S. Vet
GRAMS Bureau would find places in
the world of industry and business.
Manager, District No. 10, which en-
braces the States of No and So. Oak,
Montana and Minnesota answer this
question in a way that should be very
gratifying to ali who have the well
fare of the disabled men at heart.
These reports V the cases of six
hundred and M men who have been
rehabilitated. 1t was found that
342 men, or ifty-seven per cent of
the entire number, were absorbed by
the shop or institution in which they
had received their training. That
speaks volumes for the confidence
these firms have in the skill and per-
sonal worth of these trainees. They
were so satisfied with them that they
would not let them go, but instead
placed them upon their own payrolls.
Ninty-eight. or sixteen per cent,
have gone into business for them
selves.
One hundred ten, or eighteen per
cent, have been placed in employment
with concerns other than those with
which they have received their train
ing.
Fifty-one or eight per cent, are
awaiting employment.
1t should be remembered in read
ing the above figures that many of
these men were trained in schools
which, of course. had no opportunity
for placing these men upon their
payroll after they were trained In
view of this fact. it is remarkable
that so high a percentage of the men
have so interested those who trained
them that they would not let them
go to other employers, but retained
them upon their own payroll.
These figures clearly prove that
all these trained veterans need is
an opportunity in suitable employ
If employers give them a
chance, they will do the rest and
prove by their services that the Gov
eminent has trained them we'll and
hat they are worthy of the best en-
ployment opportunities open in the
various fields of industry.

They only got one an old man they

THE CHOICE OF FRIENDS
AND CHOICE OF READING

Your family is worth the best you
can give it.. You desire for their en-
joyment the best house, the best food,
the best clothes that you can afford.
And you are very careful that they
cultivate the right kind of friends.
But are you just as careful about
choosing the right kind of reading :?
You should be, for reading has a
marked influence upon character, es-
pecially the reading that comes under
the eyes of the young and impress
sionable. If you choose The Youths
Companion you are giving your fam
lily an acquaintance with the. best
there is in periodical literature. If
you see The Companion in a house
you may be sure it is a safe family
to tie up to-a family worth know

Of Mrs. Thornton.

The local chapter Of the American
Red Cross, at a meeting held Tuesday
morning, reelected Mrs. r. ]. Thorn
ton as its social secretary for the re-
mainder Of the year. A number Of
laudatory speeches were made relative
to the good work Mrs. Thornton has
done in the county, and the statement
was repeatedly made that the county
could not be without her services.
Mrs. Thornton has had several fat
tering offers to go elsewhere, but pre-
ferred to continue the work she has
been so successfully doing for the
past year.
Mrs, J. R. Butler, division secretary.
was present and discussed the work Of
the Red Cross. She seemed very
much pleased with the attitude Of the
local chapter toward her co-laborer.
and said some very pleasant things
about this community and its people.
There have been so many good
things done by the Red Cross under
Mrs; Thornton's supervision, we
would not undertake to enumerate
them.

The freshet Of last Thursday night
caused the undermining Of the south
piers of the Grindstone Ford bridge,
and the big span went down on this
end. The other end is still resting on
the piers but are out Of place. The
wagons OF James Pearson, loaded with
hogs, had passed over the bridge a
few hours before It went down
The structure was erected IN 1892
by the Groton Bridge Company Of
New York, Major NJ S. Hazie, d well
known bridge builder in this section
at that time, was the architect. 1t
cost $1,000. AT the time Il carried
the longest span in the state, the span
being 400 feet.
The personnel Of the board on SUI
pervisors who let the contract was as
follows: Thomas Richmond, District
4, president; B. H. Shaifer, District
!; 3. II Morehead District 2; ]. Al.
Regan, District 3; L. S Jefferies, Dis
trict s. J. A. Regan and B. II. Shaft
er are the only two surviving mem
bcrs.
It would cost probably S25 900 to re-
build the bridge, and it Is doubtfuI
whether it will ever be rebuilt. II IS
reasonably certain that even II it is
rebuilt, il will not be done within the
next ten years, for the condition OF
the county is such that no board will
be willing TO issue the necessary
bonds. Residents Of the northern
part Of the county can use the King
Iron bridge, the road TO Port Gibson
that way being but little longer than
the other road. However, access to
Hermanville win not be near SO easy
as it was before the collapse Of the
bridge.
