Bright Outlook for Sheep
xue sneep industry present? one of the bright spots In the present agrl
cultural outlook, according to the Sears-lloebuck Agricultural Foundation.
Tlie number of sheep In the United States has been increased for two years,
but Is still far from being back at wartime or pre-war figures.
The United States produces only ab^ut 10 p?jr cent of the world's total
wool crop, but consumes 25 per cent of It. World carry-over stocks of wool
have been shrinking for four years and are now low. World production last
year was 06 million pounds below the previous year.
| The prices of both wool and lambs have been strong the past two years
and the outlook for reasonable profits In sheep is excellent for severul yeiws to
come.
17 YEARS of MEAT CONSUMPTION in the U.S.
More meat and lard was cnattuned per capita In 1928 than In any other
fear since 190C. This increase in consumption was primarily in pork and
lard. Aecordln? to the Sears-Jlochaek AjrtculXnraJ Foundation. In addition
to pro riding the amount aoeded for domestic consumption, enough nsat and
lard was produced to export otot two billion pounds, which la ?fnivalant to
about IS jfounds mora por capita. As pork production la now tola? curtailed,
the 1034 figure of moat co? mpCen la ao< likely to ha a*u?M la MX.

Ball
ELEANOR B. K1NQ
U?>. If 14, Wcatarn Nawapapar Union.)
UCU b New Year's ball should
and only could be put an by
#rtl*tn. The whole pageant, In
fact, which was begun at twelve
b'clock to usher In the New Yt?ur, was
a riot of color; a splendid la?glnnlng
to put before tbe Incoming year. Hut,
one group In particular, was much
more entrancing than all the others to
Archie. Dt-.sUUttt the beauty, original
ity and color of costumes, this group
contained a girl named Qaynor. To
ulght, nHd makeup and the glamour of
the occasion, she wos exr-ep?.ii<nslly
lovely. Gftynor had left the dai?'e lloor
now to get ready for the pageant.
Archie, watching the thrones all about
Itim, as they laughed and gayly danced
around the luill, happened on u good
Idea. Throwing back bis head ho
laughed heartily. Then, noticing thut
the gaze of the people was on hltn he
made his way upstairs.
Archie, thoroughly saturated with
the atmosphere of enthusiasm pervad
ing the evening was now making his
erttry Into the third box. He had vis
ited the other two, gently suggesting
what was In store tor them In the
presentation of this special group In
which he was Interested. He laid the
foundation for their approval, then
meved onto the next box. With his
pleasing personality gnd charm, he
ho* the faculty of making friends veqr
easily.
"ml* Is a very clever group on
now. Nice color, etc, but, I don't
know; in looking behind the scenes, I
am thinking, tbe fifty-dollar prize wlM
be awarded to (he very next group
that Is to appear en the stage.'*
talking with much authority as an
artist, he endeavored to explain the
niceties of the forthcoming composi
tion. In like mnnner did Archie pre
sent bis Ideas to forty or more well
<fllhed bo'xes.
The pageant- over, the wall of the
saxophone again proclaimed dancing
In order. Archie, with hawklike Der
cepflon, located
Gaynor and made
his way to her.
The crowds were
so great in the
Immense ballrowin
that not one inch
of floor space re
mained. It could
hardly be called
dancing, but Ar
chie and Gaynwr
never noticed a
little thing like
the crowd. Tkey
were reunited
again, and of
course, had much
to talk ubout.
"O a y n o r, you
simply have no
Ide? tke Impression your Sea Group
made on till? audience. No other group
won the applause you received. I could
tell, they were Just carried away with
it."
In about an hour's tiro? a thump of
the drum announced that some one
on thw orchestra platform had some*
thing to say.
"Ladles and gentlemen. The mem
bers In the boxes were asked to act as
the Judges In awarding the fifty-dollar
prize to the best group In the pageant
tonight. The vote cast was unanimous
for the 'Sea Group.' **
Gaynor clutched Archie's urm rather
forcefully. So much so, In fact, that
Archlc made haste to remove It.
"Isn't that grand, Archie? I really
never dreamed of having such a thing
happen. To think our Uttl? group of
thirty-two could carry off the honors
lik? that. That Va the most wonder
ful Inspiration and start f*>r the New
Year. That Is n real Incentive to
w?r)c hard all the year, Isn't It
Arehle?" Abe said, squeezing his arm.
She never would know.
