Sweat Pads for Horses

Army Saddles have wood trees
but who ever heard of an Army
horse having a sore or CALLED
back?
Most farmers and teamsters
do not seem to realize the utter
uslessness of the ordinary names
and sweat pads commonly used
with the horse collars. They
seem to think that since they
have always used them it would
ruin their horses if they put them
aside; they think that horse
must have a soft cushion to pull
against or he won't work. The
truth about the matter is that
the sweat pad is a useless ex-
pense and has caused more sore
shoulders than all other causes
combined. In working during
hot, muggy weather, horses get
very sweaty and the pad Just
naturally wears the hide off,
which has been softened by mois-
ture of sweat and the heat held
by the sweat pad. Then, while
still raw, with the dirty pad
against the shoulder,
salty sweat and all kinds OF filth
are rubbed into the sore. NJ
wonder a horse is laid up some
times for two or three weeks. A
good, hard. solid collar will keep
the flesh Of shoulders hard and
firm. as well as cool and dry and
prevent sore shoulders more than
else.
Vastly better than leather
collar is one made Of galanized
metal. Any doctor will tell you
that zinc is curative agent.
Try one anO you will see how
easy they work. Indeed, moth
ing for practical service car come
ahead of padless and hameless
collar. The hooks and rings are
fastened in these collars, doing
away with cumbersome ham es
In fac, it is a collar and hame
combined. 1t is hinged at the
top and opens at the bottom.
The harness is fastened directly
to the collar, and in Harvesting
your horse, all that is necessary
is to throw the harness on and
snap the catch at the bottom.
Then to complete the appearance
the collar is finished in aluminium
setting it off in a very nobby and
handsome style. They will last
a lifetime. Put one on four
year old and he can use it until
he is thirty.

Some Facts About Odd Fellow.
ship m Indiana.

Not all Old Fellows. and but
very few who are not members
of the Order, know the rea
honor and responsibility that
came to Horace NJ Kean OF
this place last week when he
was installed Grand Master OF
the Odd Fellows of this state
Through his kindness, and from
the latest reports of the Grand
Officers we CLEAN the following
facts about Indiana Odd Fellow
ship.
Indiana stands first in
Encampment membership; first
in Rebekah membership; fourth
in largest amount of relief paid.
fifth in Subordinate membership.
Pennsylvania, New York. Illinois
and Ohio being the only states
in the Union having more Odd
Fellows than Indiana. She
stands third in value of her
resources and has the richest
Grand Lodge in the world.
The Grand Master of this
state is at the head of an army
of rs. 294 men who are banded
together to visit the sick, re-
lieve the distressed, bury the
dead, educate the orphan, care
for the old and helpless of the
Order and to elevate the
character of mankind. II is his
duty to supervise the 749I
Subordinate Lodges of the state.
to visit the weak lodges, attend
District Meetings, DELEGATIONS
OF new halls. Memorial Day
exercises, and visit every lodge
possible. He is to conduct the
correspondence of the office
which it is estimated will re-
quire the mailing of between
1000 and 5000 letters for each
term of six months He also
has the appointment of
90 District Deputy Grand |
Masters, all of the Committeeman
who will serve at the two
sessions of the Grand Lodge,
aside from his staff of appointive
officers. In all he will have the
appointment of between 225 and
300 Odd Fellows who will assist
him in carrying on the great |
work of the Order in this state.
The Odd Fellows of Indiana
paid out in this state last year
for the relief of human suffering
the immense sum of $40. $40. 80. |
Tbs sum is so great, that if it /
was in one dollar bills, and the
bills were fastened cad to end,
counting the length of each bill
at z inches, the bills presenting
this sum of money would reach
a distance If over thirty miles.
The new Grand Lodge Building
and furnishings at Indianapolis
cost $500. 269.51. The value Of
the real estate upon which it
rests is S475, 900, making the
Grand Lodge property worth at
least one million thirty-seven
thousand, two-hundred-sixty-
nine dollars. The total re-
sources of the Subordinate
Lodges of the state exceed three
millionaire hundred thousand
dallars.
The old Fellows now have
a larger membership than any
fraternal Order in the world.
They admitted 1875 members in
Indiana during the last six
months and rejected 173 appli-
cants for membership.

The true breadth and scope of tele-

The true breadth and scope of tele- phone service provided in Connecticut is seldom thoroughly understood and appreciated by the avearge telephone user. To him it represents only the possibility of intercommunication with in the community of which he is a part or. at the most, with the entire state and cities in adjoining states. Fur tber than that his consideration of the possibilities of the service may not go for the simpler eason that he has nev- ' CT taken occasion to utilize the power and value of the telephone in the transaction of business with more dis tanttpoints. The more that one can
 get out of thing the more valuable it necessarily must be. Therefore, be- fore placing any definite value on a utility and weighing the benefits which may accrue from it, it is well to first find the bounds to which it's effective ness is confined. In the case ot tele- phone service in the United States this may be said to be almost limltless.
 Anyone who has studied the question at all knows how completely the state of Connectictut has been equipped
 with telephone facilities. The se1Vlce today is within the reach of anyone who cares to use it. Twenty years ago the community in which there e. was a $ telephone service was the exception. Today it is the direct opposite that IS the rule, proven beyond the peradven:- ture of doubt by the fact that .1E there ere is not town in the state into which telephone service has not been ex tend, ], ed This is true not only of Connectl- cut but to nearly the same extent Of every state in the Union. If this con- dition is to be of the greatest value to each individual telephone user all these units must be joined by connect ing links which will to all practical purposes, make one great natfona system covering the entire country and providing an almost instantaneous means of personal communication. Already this ideal condition has large lv become an accomplished fact through the medium of the Long Dis tance wires which connect the tele- phone system of this state with slml- lar systems of other states and thus multiply the value of the service by making each individual user available to every other. It is this opportunity, the chance to call up not only friend ar businessa ssocaiate in this state; not only a person in New York with whom immediate communication is de- sired but even those at the more dis tant points, any one of more than 8 OOO, 900 Bell telephone subscribers, that lies within the power of the man in Connecticut who uses the telephone service of the Southern New England Telephone Company. The extent of the service in the state, great as 1t IS, IS merely a drop in the bucket when com pared to the millions of other tele- phones made available by the hun dreds of thousands of miles of long distance wires. Chicago is as near to a business man, from telephonic
 standpoint, at his home Tn the other part of the town; it is as easy to get por+lord Me as if is to call LID his ]
