HORSE FAMINE IN SOUTHWEST.
Contractors Who Supply the Army
Are Making Bids With Limitations
and Restrictions.

San Antonio, Texas, July A
horse famine of serious proportions
now prevails in Texas and the South
west So far from the automobile
putting the horse out of business the
demand for horses at present in this
part of the United States far exceeds
the supply, and the price is constantly
rising. Contractors who have for
many years been furnishing horses to
the United States army are either re-
fusing to make bids or are making
them with limitations and restric-
tons. They declare that after scour-
ing Texas and the adjoining States,
they find an unprecedented scarcity
of available stock, and that at present
breeding is not being embarked upon
scale large enough to promise re-
lief in the next two or three years.
They are unable to account for the
scarcity of horses except on the the
DRY that the breeding stock was de-
pleted in this part of the country dur.
ing the Boer war and the Spanish
war and has never been re-establish.
ed, Texas is ideally adapted for the
raising of horses and there are some
very large horse ranches in this part
of the State. 1t is probable that this
scarcity of horses and increase in
prices will operate to attract men to
the breeding of these animals.

Chicago, June 3.-Tomorrow there

made up largely of semi-annual pay.
ments by public corporations, such as
railroads. large industrial concerns
and banks. This immense volume of
money, cut loose from one end of the
country to the other, it is believed,
will start a great business revival. 1t
is expected to lead to widespread in.
vestments and general improvements
and will have beneficial and bracing
effect in many ways. One important
feature is that railroads will have no
trouble in getting funds for improve
ments, and work is in sight for thous.
ands of idle men. At the present time
the situation is peculiar in not only
the United States, but in all the great
monetary centers Of the world. Money
has never been more plentiful A large
part of the money is in gold. The ex-
cess reserves in all the larger cities
are now at the highest In the history
of the country. Money rates are ex-
ceptionally low for any good collater-
al and any enterprise that is honest
can be easily financed.

Not many generations ago the cot
ton plant was worthless weed Then
somebody discovered that cloth could
be made of its fiber. For a long time
the seed was a worthless product and
was burned or dumped in gulches or
anywhere to get rid of it. The stalk
is now the only part of the plant now
considered as having no value but
recent experiments encourage the
hope that it can be utilized for max
ing paper, and it is not improbable
that it may prove to be the most
valuable part of all. The time may
come when it will pay to raise cotton
for the stalk alone.

Philanthropists are working with
more or less success for the uplifting

forms. One would naturally suppose
that the inebriate and the fallen wom-

such is not the case; many of each of
these classes have been reformed
and have become useful members of
society. The most hopeless case is
the tramp. Leaving out amateurs
