records will be broken before the year closes.

The tracks closed until satisfactory pool law is en-
acted.

pulled one of her shoes off. With great deal of
''horse sense-' she jumped out Of the pasture and
went 10 the blacksmith shop. The smithy started
10 drive the animal away. but finally discovered
and reset the bent shoe. The mare then went con-
entedly back TO the pasture, scaled the fence and
once more mingled with the herd.
