Two of the best authorities on
I the sheen Industry in the United
I States are having a hot controversy
i concerning the very Important mat
ter of marketing young ewes. One
contends that they Bhould be held
by all means, because of the fact
that the supply for future years is
. sure to be short, while the other
! saya that the need is so great this
year, and feed ao short, the same
percentage of ewe lambs be sold as
: in normal times.
I When men of the type who
ahould know Just what policy to
pursue, become honestly confused
: in this manner, It is difficult for
; the less informed man to know just
j what policy la best.
! It is safe, however, for this part
J of the west at least, to occupy some
thing of a middle ground. No man
ahould keep more sheep than he hat
I feed to put through the winter safe
I ly, yet there is no location that
' needs the sheep, and where they
will pay better than Central Oregon.

With the approach of winter it it
no wonder that the German men in
the trenches feel many forebodings.
The allies have the comfort that a
part of their hardships will be borne
by the United States troops, but
there is no such comfort for the
Germans. There is a possibility
that this will have some bearing on
the situation soon, and the result
should be the recognition of the
true condition, that Germany must
surrender.

about the repair needed.
"In the alack winter season tha farm

Is Your Money Supporting the
Government?
At this critical period in our history our manufacturers are
offering their milts and our young men are offering their services
to the United States government. Would you like to do your
share and help, by putting your money where it will support the
new Federal Reserve Banking System, which the government
has established to stand back of our commerce, industry and
agriculture?
You can do this by opening an account with us as part of every
dollar so deposited goes directly Into the new system, where it
will always be ready for you when wanted.

The rounding up of German spies
In the Northwest is a step in the
right direction. It appears that
there have been many activities by
these people recently, all of which
are known to the Government, and
action will no doubt be taken so
rapidly that there will be little or
no chance for escape.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human bodv.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.

slip. Pass the other end into the lower
end of the piie and let It come out at
the hole below the handle. Make an
other loop in the wire at this end so
that when this upper loop ia pulled up
even with the end of the handle the
knot of the lower loop will be well up
Into the pipe. To use the catcher, pull
the wire loop down as far as It will
come, slip It over the hog's nose when
be opens his mouth, and pull up on the
loop at the handle. This brings his
nose up against the end of the pipe,
lou can easily hold a hog of almost
any size, with one hand." Kansas
