Beeb 58s U.S, STATISTICAN ESTIMATES 454000 ~ TINGREASE IN SHEEP Additions to Ewes in Flocks and} Greater Saving in Lamb- ing Are Reflected DOCKINGS SHOW DECLINE) Summer Ranges Good in North- ern Country, but Rain Need- ed Badly in Southwest The estimated 1929 lamb crop inj North Dakota of 454,000 is 22.4 per cent larger than the 1928 crop, ac- cording to the report of the United States division of crop and livestock estimates, reissued by the office of the federal agricultural statistician for North Dakota. This increase is due both to a 12 per cent increase in the number of breeding ewes and to an increase in the number of lambs saved per hundred ewes as compared with 1928. Weather conditions. generally, this season were more favorable at lambing time than in 1928 with the Tesult that more lambs were saved. The 1929 crop of lambs in the 13 western range sheep states is about 3} per cent smaller than the 1928 crop, 9 per cent larger than the 1927 crop, and 2 per cent above the crop of 1926. The decrease in the size of the cur-| rent crop, which amounts to nearly 600,000 head less than last year, was due to the light percentage crop | docked. Adverse feed, water, and weather conditions since last summer resulted in a large number of dry ewes and heavy losses of sheep and Jambs in numerous areas. The rela- tively low docking percentage this year more than offset the large in- crease in ewe numbers over 1928. 16,645,000 Docked The estimated number of lambs docked in this area in 1929 was 16,- 645,000, which compared with 17,233,- 000 in 1928, 15,278,000 in 1927, and 16,- 243,000 in 1926. The lambs docked in 1929 as a percentage of total breed- ing ewes on hand January Ist was 75.5 per cent. This compares with 83.8 per cent in 1928. 79 per cent in 1927, and with 87.7 per cent in 1926. Between marking time and delivery of lambs there is normally a loss of from 4 per cent to 7 per cent. But this year the loss of lambs will like- ly be materially heavier because of unfavorable weather and feed condi- tions in a number of states. Of the 13 western sheep states, less lambs than last year were docked in. eight of them, the decrease ranging from 2 per cent to 25 per cent. Slight in- creases in the number of lambs arc estimated for New Mexico, California and South Dakota. Rather large in- creases were registered in Montana and in Texas, which states had many more ewes than 1928 and relatively good docking percentages. ~- At the beginning of the year there ‘were 22,048,000 breeding ewes one year old and over in this group of states. ‘This was about 1,474,000 or 7 per cent more than inventories showed a year earlier. During the last three years the number of breeding ewes in these ‘western states has increased approxi- mately 3 1-2 million head, or 19 per cent. Had the percentage of lambs docked this year equaled the average docking percentage of the past five years for this group of states, the 1929 Jamb crop would have been about 1,- 400,000 head larger than the present estimates shows. Further increases in ewe holdings may be expected in view of the large numbers of yearling ewes on hand now and the strong de- mand for ewe lambs of the current crop. But because of the heavy losses of ewes during the past winter and spring, replacement requirements will be much greater this fall than last, so that increases in the num- t Weather Report ‘| 2 © Temperature at 7 a. m.

Summer Sheep Ranges Good Of the 16,643,000 lambs docked in the western states this season, about | 2,800,000 or 23 per cent were “early lambs.” Last year there were about | the same number of carly lambs | docked, but it was 22 per cent of the total. Most of the carly lambs are produced in California, Idaho, Ore- gon, Washington, and Arizona. In- | cluded in this classification of early lambs are all of those moving into market channels before September 1. | Summer sheep ranges in these | states for the most part are now very | good, but unsatisfactory range, feed, | and water conditions are reported | from parts of New Mexico, Arizona and southern Utah. Rain is needed in Texas to insure later feed. Present | conditions on sheep ranges indicate that the bulk of lambs to be deliv- ered during the late summer and fall season should be of normal weight. From some areas in the northern! states lambs are expected to be better | than usual. A large part of the fall supply of feeder lambs in the west was contracted for fall delivery. | South Dakota reports the lamb crop | slightly larger than last year. Losses | were @ little above normal. Summer | ranges are good. Montana’s lamb crop is about 11 per | cent larger than last year duc to in-| crease in ewe numbers. Most of the severe winter weather came after Jan- | uary 1. Losses are heavier than us- | ual, though not excessive. Summer Tanges are generally good. U. S. Lamb Crop 1929 For the United States the 1929 lamb crop was about 1 per cent smalicr than in 1928, but over 7 per cent larg- er than the 1927 crop. The number of lambs saved per hundred ewes one year old or over January 1 was 83.1 in 1929, 89.2 in 1928 and 87.2 in 1927. | This decrease in number of lambs saved per hundred ewes more than, offsets an increase of 6 per cent in| the estimated number of breeding | ewes on farms January 1 this year. In| the native lamb states the lamb crop was larger by over 300,000 head than in 1928. This increase was due to an increase in number of breeding ewes as the number of lambs saved per hundred ewes of breeding age was | about the same as in 1928. | RECEIPTS GROW Paris.—_()—Receipts of Paris the- atres, both movie and legitimate, in- creased steadily in the past tyo years, | but the four theatres subsidized by the government showed total increases of only $28,000.

AT THE MOVIES ° | o © CAPITOL THEATRE Paramount's one hundred per cent talking picture “The Dummy,” which will show at the Capitol theatre for a three day showing, starting tonight, is a sparkling combination of comedy end melodrama, replete with clean humor and tense, thrilling action. The picture has an imposing cast of players, all of whom have won known on the legitimate stage or fore the movic camera. Their years of experience before the footlights have given these screen characters the proper voice training and per- sonality to keep their audiences de- lighted throughout the performance. Ruth Chatterton, in the feminine lead, which she carrics in a manner befitting her position as one of the best known actresses of the legitimate stage, is playing her second role in taiking moving pictures. Taken directly from the stage, Fredric March displays an extra-ordi- nary personal magnetism in his por- trayal of the leading male role. He is young. handsome, appealing. John Cromwell, another Broadway favorite, does some commendable work as the detective whose office boy, Mickey Bennett, “The Dummy,” saves a kid- naped girl, Vondell Darr. Mickey is clever as the boy hero who masters the deaf and dumb language to be- come a detective. Fred Kohler, ZaSu Pitts, Jack Oakie and others are in the cast.

Almost im- mediately she and her sweetheart, JACK WELLS, begin to argue. Jack ary. Mell es “that meager salary. ly they be married on her inheritance, and his pride is outraged. With RITA MELNOTTE, her best friend, Molly goes in quest of a po- sition. Finally, when she is quite dis- couraged, the city editor of the ninth newspaper office she has visited of- fers a try-out as Inquiring Reporter. Joyfully she accepts. Jack hates to think of Molly work- ing and they quarrel. But, in the end, they make up, and Jack gives Molly a little diamond he has bought for her. A tragedy happens when the tiny ring falls over the side of the boat in which they are rowing. Molly cries, and Jack comforts her. And later she goes with him to his room to help him pack. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VII Molly helped Jack fold his things. His underclothes and pajamas. His other suit. And his dinner coat. She rolled his socks up in neat little balls. And wrapped his shoes in tissue pa- per, so they wouldn't soil his nice clean shirts. Then she pulled a rib- bon out of her lingerie, and tied it around the letters she had sent him. And he showed her his book of snapshots, and a family group in a silver frame. His mother had white hair, and was rather regal looking. Molly supposed she'd mect her be- fore very long, although Jack con- fessed he had not told the family that he had a sweetheart. “Mother'’d only worry,” he declared. “She thinks modern girls are some- thing fierce. I want to wait until I can show you off properly.” “But Jack.” She was a little hurt. “I should think you'd want to tell her about me, dear. I’ve told my fam- ily about you. They know your eyes are blue. And that you've a cowlick. And broad shoulders. And that you played football and hockey. My good- ness, they know everything!” “Well, I'd rather knock my folks dead when they get a look at you,” he declared. “There's no use getting them steamed up. They'll fall for you, soon as they lay eyes on you. Why, they'll be crazy about you, Molly. Particularly my mother. You'll like her, too.” Then he showed her some letters from his mother. And one from his father. His sisters wrote him, too. Girlish letters, with plenty of words underlined, and ever so many exclam- ation points. Molly packed the family’s letters neatly in a shoe box. She thought it was sweet of Jack to keep them. Like most women, she adored sentimental- rown were calling in Linton Saturday evening.

She sighed. Jack came, and sat on the bed be- side her. She leaned against him. “Tired, Sweetheart?” “A little,” she admitted. “It’s nice, leaning against your shoulder.

That little French atomizer had cost $7.50, but that was really the only way a girl could keep her hair scented. It wasn’t any good putting drops of perfume on. You had to spray it. “What do you do?” he asked. “Spill bay rum or something like that in it?” She laughed, and shook her head. “I love the way you don’t know very much about women,” she told him. “It’s awfully sweet.” “I thought girls liked a man that knows all about women.

Jack, are you going to miss me?” “Miss you!” he cried. “I'd like to die for you, honey.” “Tl miss you, too,” she promised. “But we'll write each other every j day?” “You bet,” he agreed. “And twice jon Sundays. I mean you write twice on Sunday, honey. And tell me everything about your job. And if | any of those guys round there get fresh with you, send me a@ wire, will you, Molly?” “They won't,” she assured him. “They looked harmless as anything. Kind of old, most of them.” ‘That wasn't true, but it would make Jack fecl better. “They're bald, and fat. ‘You know. Sort of shiny. Married looking.” And she thought of the city editor, who had light curly hair, and looked as if he bought his clothes at & Bond street tailor's. “T'll tell them I'm engaged, as soon as I get a chance,” she promised. “Molly, you must let me take you home now,” he said. “Put on your hat, like a good girl.” She pulled it on, the little blue vagabond felt that made her look so adorably childish. Then she patted his pillow with both her small pink palms. She liked knowing his head rested there, and fondled it with her hands, “Oh, I forgot to tell you,” she ex- claimed. “I phoned the Y. W. C. A. this morning, and I’ve taken a room there. Rita’s going to send all my truck in for me. I'll write the family tonight, and tell them about it. And about my position.” “Call it a job,” he advised her. “You don’t call 'em positions when they only pay $18 a week.” They tip-toed quietly down the stairs. Past Miss Blake’s room.

And when they reached there a number of girls were on the steps, so that they had to say goodby most circumspectly. Molly was rather glad. She knew she would have cried, if it was dark or the street deserted. ‘Tomorrow Jack would be on his way to New York. And it might be weeks and weeks before she saw him again!
