Sheepdogs Given Tests
For Herding Efficiency

Sheep dogs of Scotland, Wales,
and England have their day once
each year when the International
Trials are held in Edinburgh.
The trials are held to test ef-
ficiency in finding, driving and guild
ing sheep. AS one of the simpler
tests, a single sheep dog is sent
out by his master to locate three
sheep which are out of sight behind
a small hill or rise in the ground.
The dog must calm them, keep
them together and drive them to a
designated place.
AS a further test, each dog must
drive his sheep to hurdle, pass
it, guide the flock to the center Of
the field and circle another hurdle
with them. He Il be able to
separate one sheep from flock and
to drive group nf sheep into a
small pen His master may signal
him with whistles. signs or the
voice, but usually the dog under
stands the task ahead fully as well
as does his owner.
A good sheep dog never bites the
sheep, for that would bruise their
flesh and make it less valuable
when sold He seldom if ever barks
and he has what is known as 1.-The
eye" an ability to hold the attention
of sheep by looking at them. He
must be able to inspire his charges
with confidence and must be pos
sessed of all the qualities which in
men are known as tact

Discovery Aids Growers

If oranges are wrapped in paper

diphenyl, losses from rotting are
greatly reduced. says Dr. Firman

zine. This new discovery may save
citrus growers many thousands Of
dollars annually. Forty cents
worth of the chemical will treat
enough paper TO wrap one ton OF
fruit. according to DR.. Adalbert Far
kus, Of Palestine, who patented the
process In recent shipment of
oranges from Jerusalem. fruits
which were protected by the chem
ically treated paper suffered only q
per cent as great loss from rotting
as those that were wrapped in Yin.
treated paper Diphenyl is non-
poisonous, and has no effect on the
color, taste or odor of oranges. 1t
can probably also be used to guard
other fruits against decay microbes.

OLOvely One

O. Lovely One where have you been
Dark hair that falls loosely against your face
Which you move back to it's proper place.
Beautiful to behold, yes for mortal hand
To touch such sweetness must be grand
For thrill Of ecstasy overcomes the thought
When loneliness supreme by you is brought.
We can picture what we'd like to see
The way it comes out one may never agree
But a model of beauty is ever before mind,
And can't escape our thought unless we're blind
Rare beauty is like much sought jewel.
1t has been the cause of many duel,
For man has admired since the world began
lovely figure moulded only as God can
Beauty of soul is expressed in the face,
Spreading happiness among the human race
Its presence is felt and you understand,
Why people feel inspired, strong and grand
o. Lovely One-stay like you are
Let nothing in thought or deed mar
Your beauty which upon pedestal is placed
Fortunate is the home so luckily to be graced
O. Lovely One you can readily see,
What the future holds and you'll agree,
Inspiration is needed to carry on,
For without it, man is a useless pawn.

The Birth of the Song "Dixie Land

The Birth of the Song Dixie Land"
AS old Johaan Dixie walked
slowly toward his freshly painted
slave cabins his thoughts were on
his eight broadshouldered slaves
who had the strength of Sampson
and the endurance of ten Missouri
mules.
Dixie grew tobacco on his Man.
haitian farm but as the growing
season of this commodity was very
short, indeed, the keep of the eight
slaves amounted to a liability in
stead of an asset.
The old slave owner had heard
that the Carolina tobacco growers
were in need of slave labor so why
not sell the slaves at neat profit.
A week later their master
shipped them on board a British
ship. They were supplied with rum
to Offset the germ carrying filth
that would be encountered in the
slave quarters on the ship, and oil
to ward off skin ailments and also
for glittering or slick appearance
when they landed in Charleston
where they would be inspected be-
fore final settlement of the sale.
When the ship landed and the
eight ,Krumen, formerly from At
RIGA, were given final inspection
and the sale completed they were
sent to the interior of the state to
work on a great tobacco plantation.
On the plantation they came into
contact with wide-hipped, deep
busted, slave women with whom
to mate-but they longed for the
good old days on old man Dixie's
land.
AS they straddled the rows,
chopped the dirt, and broke the
clods around the young tobacco
plants, one slave would stop and
moan, 81 wan to be on Dixie LAM"
At the far end of the row of to-
bacco an answer would float back,
'On Dixie LAM On Dixie LAM"
The work on the Carolina plan
tation was hard but their minds
were eased when they sang this
lonesome song, II wish I wuz on
Dixie's LAM"
The tobacco crops grew-they
were harvested, years passed and
the slaves died and returned to
their "Dixie Land" But whenever
Americans gather, be they from
the North or the South, be they
black or white, you hear them sing
"Dixie Land" the famous song
born in the homesick minds of old
man Dixie's eight Krumen slaves.
Socially Inclined

the bar of New York City, 1918, re-
