BERGDOLL'S CASE
 MOST SERIOUS ONE
German Police Proceeding With
 Great Caution

Mosbach, Germany. Feb. t7 LP-- The German officials in charge of the prosecution of Grover c. Berg doll, accused Of seduction, are pro- ceeding with great care in sitting the material on which the case will be based. This is\because of the apparently unusual motives behind the case, and the personal enmity between Borgdoll and the instigator of his arrest, Robert r. Sachs, detective.
 Sachs has denied that he is act Ing as an agent of the American Le- zion seeking to force the draft dodgers expulsion from Germany, and describes himself as q repre- sentative of American newspapers. He is also credited with the state ment that he is deputy sheriff from Alameda county. California.
 It is learned that Bergdoll was heavily armed when taken into custody. He was summoned to the mayors office last Friday and placed under arreat for preliminary ex- animation. A revolver was taken from him before the journey to city hall.
 During the trip. in the states at tornoy's automobile, he talked eX- citedly about Sacks, whom he im- mediatcly suspected as the inatigatol of the action.
 A more thorough search at the city hall revealed that he was carry ing q second revolver and a dagger. Acquainlancos say he has always gone heavily armed of late grow ing SUSnlcious over the frequent visits of Americans to the hotel where he WAS staying.
 The daughter of the hotel pro- pri"tor is said 10 have gone to America recently and obtain $G,0u0 from Bcrgdoll's mother for the draft dodgcr, Bergdoll's habits have been very cratic, On occasion. acquaint- Hnccs say, he spent libcrally and en- gas"d in all night drinking bouts, while at other time he lived a spartan life, holding his oXpcndi- lures down to the last possible pfcnning.

LAMBINe HINTS

From the monthly News Letter Of the
Maryland Sheep Growers Association,
we submit the following:
We are now in the midst Of the lamb
ing season in some parts OF Maryland.
Take care that lambs are provided with
warm quarters for the first few days Of
their lives 1t is good plan to visit the
sheep shed two or three times during the
night while lambs are coming
Ewes that are weak after lanbing may
be revived by four or FIVE drops OF MIX
Vomica given three times a day. This
medicine is a powerful poison and must
be used with care. 1t is procurable at
any drug store Ewes should not re-
ceive their normal ration for several
days after lambing Get them back on
regular feed again when the lamb is
about ten days old For best results
lambs should have access to creeps which
may be easily and quickly made Make
trough into which the lambs cannot get
their feet, or lie down, and keep little
bran or ground corn before them at all
times until they get used to eating it,
then shelled corn may be added and the
bran gradually replaced with linseed oil
meal until the lambs are finally getting
a ration consisting of about four parts
of corn and one part of oil meal.
This ration is for fattening lambs.
Those lambs intended to be grown out
for breeding purposes should have half
OF this corn replaced with bran or oats,
making a ration, for example, consist
ing o. two parts OF corn, two parts OF
oats and one part Of linseed oil meal.
For best results the oats should be
ground or crushed and the corn also
ground until the lambs are three or four
weeks OF age.
1t must be borne in mind that buyers
are not attracted by lambs unless they
