lief committee which is caring for the
$4,000 small farmers whose crops were
utterly destroyed by the recent flood in
the valley of the Brazos and its many

is steadily rising, notwithstanding the
bicycle, the automobile and other rivals.
When this advance began year ago it
was accounted for by the outbreak of
the war, but certainly the war has

that the horse is too good a friend to
man TO be lightly thrust aside in favor
of the ncw-fangled machines. 1t is the
horses turn to laugh.
