It seems almost impossible to get the number going out but Stanfleld ha a contract to deliver 110,000 In California and moat of them are coming from thla county. Sewall Is also shipping them out by train loada and he has many thou nsnds bought. Many of the sheep men are getting out of the business entirely, while others are nelllng down low. There are npveral caunes, among them the way the range has been taken up by homesteader and the large number of sheep coming m from Idaho and lining the ranges In the spring. Another matter that ll bothering many of them Is the high price being asked for hay. The sheep men feel that they are getting good money for their sheep and do not want to run chances of holding the sheep until the prices drop again M-ii who are well posted on the Ii ( situation throughout the world do not look for any drop for several years, as there la a shortage thai will take many years to replace is a general shortage of wool throughout the world, and the e tra demand from the armies I rais ing the price.

Certainly not from that which propogates ridicule of home guards and national guards and our regulars Yea, even our navy. The woman who repeats over and over before her offspring that she la "not raising her boys to be sol diers," may have occasion to be as hamed of them when duty calls and they lack the apirlt of the "Iron Flit."
