MULE QUARANTINE HOLDS
BACK LEILEHUA WORK

'Some of the old army mules are
mighty fine kickers," said the corral
master yesterday, "but kicking is one
of the fine qualities of the army mule.
Unless he's a good kicker you can set
him down as a no-account mule. a
recruit mule is something like a rocky
soldier. Both can kick and only a good
kicker and grumbler makes good sol
der, Just the same as the army mule
When mule kicks you know he is
in good health and right up on his
feed. Kicking doesn' indicate that a
mule is vicious. That s his way, that s
all. and he means it for gentleness.
The army mule is really lovable beast
when you know him, only it takes a
long while to get acquainted. Associa-
tion with the army mule makes your
temper sweeter and your propensity for
swearing is only keyed up until it be-
comes fine art. -
The "mule skinners' are also old
timers in the army and many have their
old teams in the bunch of 102.
