much happier and more contented than before. The
war atmosphere had disappeared, and conditions show

There were about the same conditions as three
years ago in France. In Italy, the people are unusually
busy, and / noticed that almost all are very ambitious.
So far as ] observed, almost everybody was working.

Of the war. There was considerable depression there.
Germany Is prosperous and progressive. II has had
a wonderful industrial comeback since the World war.
The German people, like the American people, are well

WASHINGTON. - Next to All
Smith. the 1928 democratic conven-
ton leaves Claude g. Bowers per-
haps the outstanding personality in
the Jeffersonian party. What's his
next step? His own answer is:
Back to the bench" meaning his
job as editorial writer for the New
York Evening World. Maybe 50.
But IL can't be for long.
After his keynote address az Hous-
ton, Claude Bowers is committed ir-
revocably to active politics. His
party can't spare its foremost orator
for any duty except in the fore
front. In his particular line he is
its most valuable man.
Claude is more than an orator.
He's an orator up-to-date. He has
the trick of putting his ideas across
the microphone. It's a new stunt.
Old timers tore around on the
platform. II won't do now. The
speechmaker must keep ms lips glued
TO a mechanical device. Il sucks the
life out of the sort of spell-binding
we used to know. The modern adept
at 1t must be = professional broad
caster. and that's what Bowers is

Besides. he has the goods Broad

olden days he'd have been rewarded
with the postmaster generalship ~
some such post as that. II doesn't

is altogether a new thing. Basically.

but will be a great aid to your postal

Christmas Cards.
Patrons sending quantity oil
Christmas cards, say 10 or more

Parcels and cards for local delivery
should be mailed not later than De-
cember 81. Parcels and envelopes
may be endorsed, please do not open
until Christmas"
Special-Delivery Service.
The use of special delivery stamp
will assure delivery on Christmas Day,
if mailed at the proper time. Special
delivery service means the handling
and transportation of parcels with
the same expedition as first-class let
ter mail, as well as the immediate
delivery at office of address. 1t is OBJ
tanned by affixing a special-delivery
stamp of the proper denomination, or
it's equivalent in ordinary stamps, in
addition to the regular postage. When
ordinary stamps are used, the words
special delivery" must be written or
printed directly below, BUT NOT ON
THE STAMPS. 1t is urged that all
mailers desiring immediate delivery
of any matter mailed by them affix
special-delivery stamps thereto. Spe-
cial delivery is for speed and not for
safety. Valuable mail should be reg
istered or insured.
Matter Not Nathalie at Parcel.POst
Rates.

personal correspondence can not be
inclOsed in parcels.
Communications attached to par
cells: A letter placed in an envelope
addressed to correspond with the ad-
dress on the parcel and fully prepaid

otherwise securely attached to the

excess of two pounds day per head.
If poor roughages only are available
little grain should be fed along with
them.
Six weeks before lambing, a half
pound of oats, corn, or barley should
be added to the ration of the breed
ing eve and should be continued until
pastures are good. If the eve Is thin
about one pound of grain should be
fed daily. AS lambing time approach
es the ewes become heavy and do not
like to exercise. By spreading the
hay some distance from the barn and
sheds they will be made to take the
needed exercise. Rapid driving or
chasing should not be permitted.
Goiter may be prevented in lambs
says the specialist, by feeding potas-
SUM iodide to the pregnant ewes.
This can be given in water, using five
grains per eve per week, or by add
ing one ounce to 100 pounds of grain
or one ounce to 25 pounds of salt.
Iodized salt, if it can be obtained, can
also be used for the prevention Of
goiter.
The water supply of the eve flock
should be clean and fresh and Of
moderate temperature. Free access
should be given to salt.

HOW TO CARE FOR THE
EVE FLOCK IN WINTER

Breeding ewes deserve a good ra-
ton and good care during the winter.
Experience has shown that their prin-
cipal feed should be a legume hay,
says W. E. Morris, livestock special
list at the University of Minnesota.
When such hay is not available in
quantity it can be limited to two
pounds per head day by feeding in
addition roughages of prairie hay, oat
straw, or corn slower supplemented
with corn silage or roots such as tur-
nips, mangels, or sugar beets. Roots
and silage add to the desirability of
the ration, but should not be fed in
