Automobiles VIII Free Suffering Horses.
The humane societies Lave done a
great deal to free the suffering horses
from their troubles on our icy streets,
but the automobiles viii do more.
The latest figures show that there
were $4,000 automobiles made in the
United states last year. Their cash
value is about S30,000,000.
The automobile is no longer toy for
milllonalres. The cheapest ones cost
no more than is paid for team OF
horses. And they are TO be found to-
day in all parts Of the world.
For instance, automobile trucks are
now being used to carry supplies to
mining camps, They are carrying the
Government mails in Germany, Italy
and even in some parts OF India.
Automobile stages are carrying pas
sengers along the mountain roads Of
the Western States. In California au-
tomobiles are hauling lumber; in Mich
igap they are pulling snow plows, and
in Ohio they are doing chores on the
farm.
In New York City there are automo-
bile coal trucks, operated by one man
apiece, which carry and deliver five
tons of coal at a load. If the fittest is
