Dr.. Ferneyhough Gives Valuable
Information in Official
Report.

e Adding some shrewd advice from the
depth of his own experience to the
facts and figures which form the bulk
of his official report, State Veterinarian
N. G. Ferneyhough has an Interesting
chapter on getting poor horse fat
The report has just been Issued and
covers the work of his Office since his
last report in 1907.
The State Veterinarian naively ad-
mlts that he has quite penchant for
buying poor horses which are other
Wise good, There are several reasons
for this which appeal to those with
common sense. First thin horse is
usually cheaper than q fat one, being
a generally admitted proposition. Then
DR.. Ferneyhough opines that a person
who would allow a horse to get thin
probably does not know enough about
horses to Judge OF their real value ana
are likely to take a low price. Lastly,
and still shrewdly, the doctor beu ewes,
that good judge OF a horse can tell
more about the animal If he i Is thin.

Presiding Officers of State
Republican Convention to
Be Chosen and Date for
Fairbanks Speech to Del
egates.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, March 21-It is proba-
BILE that there will be a conference of
Republican leaders committeeman can
didates and others some time this week
with State Chairman Lee to consider
some of the details of the state con-
vention plans. About the only thing
of Importance to be taken UP is the
selection of presiding officers for the
convention and the fixing of definite
time for former Vice President Fair
banks to deliver an address. 1t is
probable that the former vice president
will speak on the forenoon of April
before the work of making the nomf-
nations has begun There has been
suggestion also that there will be
session on the night of April 4 specially
for the purpose of listening to Mr..
Fairbanks 1t is hardly thought prob
able though that the latter suggestion
will be adopted as the committees will
be busy with their work on the night
of April 4.
1t is probable that the desires of
Senator Beveridge will be consulted
when ii comes to the selection of pre-
siding officers for the convention. par
ticularIy in the selection of the tempo
rary chairman who will make the key
note speech. 1t is desired that the
temporary chairman shall be a man of
oratorical ability who can be heard all
over Tomlinson hall. Material is more
plentiful for the place of permanent
chairman than for temporary chairman,
the reason being that there are more
able parliamentarians among the Re-
publicans than there are able orators.
Two men are prominently mentioned
now for the place of permanent chair
man. They are former Governor Win
field T. Durbin and former Lieutenant
Governor Hugh T. Miller of Columbus.
As presiding officer, Mr.. Miller has
no superior in the state Mr.. Durbin
by reason of the distinction he has
achieved in his state would be a good
man for the place.
