MONDAY The British andFrench armies con tinue to cut their way into the Ger man fines on various sectors of the lower part of the battle line in France. Notwithstanding the aeather, which has cause somewhat of a slack ening in the of the opera tions, Field Marshal Haig's forces hav materially encroached upon Cambrai and St Quentin, whife fur ther south the French armies are pressing eastward on the old Noyon sector toward La Fere and Loan and northward from Soissons in an auxiliary maneuver with the saaw objectives in view. Between the Vesle and the Aisne rivers, while the American troops ar fighting with the French, additional ground has beea gained by the allied forces. The British now ar standing at Vilkveque, six miles from St Quen tin, haying carried out -an advance over, a 10-oul front on the general fine of Epehy, Hesbecourt, and Ver-mand.

Nowhere has th impetus grrea to sheep-raisiac been ator aaarkad than ia Canada.

The Canadtaa Govern ment baa sent bktoded stock into afl communitios suited to sheep raising. The Shropshire, Leicester aad Oxford rams introduced into Nova Sea tia flocks have worked wonders. From a few scattered flocks th ia- dustry has grown into oao of the great proportions. Nova Scotia wool, on account of its fin quality, is ia great demand by New England manufacturers of fin woolen un derwear. Ia 191T they bid tS cents a pound for the unwashed, and 95 cents for the washed product Western Canada is aa important sheep raising country, aad the dustry is fast assuming a position only second to grain growing.

And in some sections of. th United States sheep raisins; is a leading in dustry, aad there is bo reason why this branch of farming should aot speedily be mad to pay th sheep growers big money right here in the mountain section of North Carolina. And we are pleased to learn that some of our farmers and -leading citizens hav started in to boost the sheep raising industry here in Henderson county. Last week published the fact that a bunch of our enterprising citi-sens had purchased in New Mexico 550 head of well selected sheep to be brought here and placed on a largo boundary of the Barker lands near town. These 550 sheep are expected to arrive here some time during the coming week, and we believe that this flock of sheep, with reasonable care and attention, will prove to be a money producer for its own ers, and will greatly encourage sheep tracks and boundaries of land in the country suitable for sheep ranches.

W. F. Edwards, B. F. Staton and G.

H. Valentine own a tract near Etowah, which contains between 400 and 500 acres, thst would make a splendid place t. niise sherp. The majority of tht. tract is in woods, and the boundary, and the water thereon, make uieal place on which to i There is enough good ivtt.n; other cleared land on tho-plaee to cultivate to make plenty of food for the sheep raised on th place.

Ail if the. owners of this I tract of i.iiui cannot, oa account of other bus or for other reasons, turn same ir.to a sheep ranch they could tt 10 some other person or p-. rsens who can and will. And, lis above sattd. there is a number of boundaries of land in the county saitalde for sheep ranches.

And the time, is opportune to entour age- sheep ruisinyr in this county ar section. NOTICE TVe urse a'l the reople to save all the perishable fruits and vegetables by canning or drying. Food is going to be source and high in North Carolina this winter. The drought has cur off gardens, and there is no fruit of value in any part ofthe State, except the western section. With the artillery camp at FayeUeville and tank camp at Raleigh, food is going tobe needed in great quantities.

Every Jar and can should be filled. Be patriotic and can not only for your family but some for th market. Home made apple vinegar is bring ing a good price, owing to the tact that acetic acid is being used for war purposes. Those who hav apples to sell in large quantities pleas report to me aad I will help you find a market tor them. I wttl also assist in marketing your canned and dried pro ducts.
