Sheep Landowners

Because large f1ocks of sheep
preceded m an, many centu-
ries ago, in the occupancy of
the land that is now Cumberland,
England, their descendants have
since been regarded as the. real
owners by the farmers who have
maintained them for their wool.
Thus, even today, the sale and
purchase of one of these farms
automatically includes its sheep.

Largest Rice Farm

Australia has what is claimed to
be the largest single rice farm in
the world. 1t is on the Wakool irri-
cation area (New South Wales). The
enterprise of 1000 acres was started
by the New South Wales department
of agriculture after the Common
wealth had appealed for greater rice
production to meet war demands.

Fate-You're asking me!
Hitler-I put my complete future

Fate-I vaguely recall being nice
to you, but it seems long time ago.
Hitler Ach, don't it! What
changed you?
Fate-Have I changed?
Hitler-Please, lady, whatever you
do, don't kid me!
Fate-I'm the same as I've al
ways been.
Hitler-Don't be silly! Remember
my rise from corporal to chancel-
lor, all my easy victories and that
day at Napoleon's tomb?
Fate-That day at Napoleon's
tomb was pretty trying to me.
Hitler-But on that day and again
when I did the little jig in the
Compeigne forest you smiled so
kindly.
Fate You misinterpreted the
smile; it was smile of amusement,
not approval.
Hitler-The Jig didn't seem funny
to me.

couldn't see as far ahead as could.

Fate-I was never warm toward
you.
Hitler-Just look at how far went
during the first few years you
certainly gave me the green light.
Fate-Yes, gave you the green
light but don't forget I always knew
where the end of the road was!
Hitler-Those smiles, those mods,
those kindly gestures didn't
they mean thing?
Fate-Not necessarily. That's how
I work.
Hitler-And you never meant to

is necessary to arrange for the
speedy collection and preservation

United States who are presently

the vision Of approximately 10000 of
those so affected might be restored
