Modern Horse Growing


"The only danger to the horse in
dustry is their scarcity" says Prof.
W. L. Carlisle. "Whenever the time
comes that the price of a good horse
is as great or nearly as great as 4
motor van or automobile, then the peo-
pie will buy the cheaper article. But
that time is distant if the horse breed
ers keep busy. Plenty of well bred
stations and good brood mares are
valuable asset of any community.
There is big money to be made in
breeding draft horses for many years
to come.'
At the coming stock show in Den
yer, during the week of January 18th
23rd, there will be some excellent ep'
portunities to secure choice imported
stations at fair prices. Some of the
very best Percherons can be purchas-
Cd at from $1,000 to $4,000. The ex-
hibition of fine horses at the Denver
show will be revelation to the horse
breeders of theWest. There will be
many fine ones on sale.

FIRST 90 WEDDING. A wedding
which took place at Grand Junction on

romance. Miss Jessie Wall, 16 years
old, who graduated from the grammar
school last year, and Frank Newmcyer,
aged IS, were married by justice Of

KAhdM WINS AGAINST
COMMISSION HOUSE

In the county court Monday after
noon jury awarded judgment against
the Brown Commission company Of
Colorado Springs and in favor of j.
Fred Kamm of New Castle to the value
of a car of potatoes consigned by
Kamm to the commission house over a
year ago. The company some time ago
sought to have the hearing of the case
transferred to FL Paso county but
Judge Beardsley held that the suit was
properly brought in this county where
the shipment was made.
The defense of the company was that
the potatoes were in bad order and on
this ground, a very common excuse with
commission houses, they refused to pay
the bill.
Kamm easily proved, however, that
the company ordered the potatoes,
that he shipped them in accordance
with their order, that the potatoes ar
rived in Colorado Spring, December IA
and that the company rele no effort
to unload ther, until December 20
when they fonnd tha:u frozen. The
jury evidently .n.isored that this was
u matter of negligence on the part Of
the consignee and, as stated above,
awarded judgement in Kamm's favor
for the full amount of his claim.

Why IL Affected Him.

The chaplain of a large private asy.
lum in Yorkshire. England. recently
asked a brother clergyman to preach to
the inmates on a Sunday morning dur
ing his absence. He said to him:
though insane on some points they are
very intelligent The preacher talked
to them Of Africa and India and Of
heather mothers who threw their
babies into the sacred river Ganges as
offerings to the gods. Tears streamed
Gown h ~faceSof n listener. When
asked by the clergyman afterward what
part Of the. sermon had affected him the
lunatic replied: Sir, I was thinking
1t was q pity your mother didn't throw
you INTO the Ganges."
