Sheep Help Lick Kalsor,
A single Potter township ewe had
earning power of six War Bavioge
Stamps. This particular sheep was
purchased five years ago by A. Hugh
Smith, and was kept * on the shares '’
by his father, Robert M. Smith, at
Centre Hill. Twenty-five dollars rep-
resenis the cash on hand in the trane-
action, besides three sheep, for one of
which the youth was offered $2500,
The total value of the three sheep is
estimated at $50.00. The good fea-
ture of the who'e sfliir is that the boy
gave his money to the Government in
exchabge for War Beviogs Stamps.

bad a part in the play, he
feels the injastice and lack of fair play
in the method employed of disposing
of part of the net proceeds of filly or
more dollars, which he, together with
the public, rightfally believed should
be used toward meeting the expenses
incident to gradustion. JIostesd of
using the fande for this purpose the

and invited a number of thelr friends,
entirely ignoring those of the undes-
graduates who played a part in earning
the money. It ls beosase the publio
