Horse Still Popular Despite the Auto

1.-The veriest old wind-broken
skates have been sold on the market
this year for SIS EACH" remarked the
horse lover, land a good draft horse
will sell for $3.50 any day."
YES" replied the motorist after the
report has been read to him, 1.-The sta
tistics undoubtedly give the horse the
best of it; but notice that the animal
referred to Is the farm horse. AL
though the steam plow and motor
truck have made entertainments upon
the usefulness of the draft horse he
still is indispensable. His city broth
ers have suffered from competition by
the motor car. What about the price
of carriage and saddle horses and the
nags that pull express and delivery
wagons?"
Only the horses used for pleasure
driving have suffered in price from
the use of motor cars. Few motor car
owners keep stable in addition to a
garage and the result has been a de-
probation in the value of harness
horses. A matched harness team that

will at present bring not more than
$500 or $500.
The discarding of carriage horses by
motorists may be the reason that the
price of horses purchased by the
United States has remained stationary
for the last year. Some of the horses
replaced by motor cars are bought by
firms that require better stock than
the ordinary wagon horse. There are
horses drawing hearses in Kansas
City today that a few years ago were
owned by wealthy men who were
proud of their judgment of horseflesh.
When the motor fever attacked them
the horses were sold at the first price
offered.
The wagon horse is no SLOUGH.
Every year his price has climbed un-
til today it is impossible to buy
serviceable team for less than $500.

Mems Club to Ask Tax ON Bachelors

income over $O,OW ..........................2
:; P. A. Heinlich, the bachelor spokes-
man, held short party caucus and
decided to attempt flank movement.
II agree with you that the bachelor
by choice is undesirable" he amazed
his hearers by saying. "Still there
are many great men who have been
bachelors, and think you should
cross out the terms of 1eech' and
menace from your Indictment"
The change was rushed through by
an ally before the radical party had
recovered.
Women were not permitted to enter
the debate, but sent in written opin-
ions to the meeting. One of them,
Miss Clara Kent, who is proud of her
ability to work, wrote:
"You are all wrong. Let the old
maid and the bachelor alone, for there
are few who stay single from choice.
1.-THE kind of bachelor would con.
denim is the man who has a good po-
sition and is capable of caring for
family, but stays single because he
doesn't want to give up his freedom
and assume the responsibility of a
home. Yet, on the other hand, a man
with such selfish desires would make
poor husband and ought to stay
single.
And such woman as fears the re-
sponsibility of bearing children and
the trouble of raising them, and the
duties of the home, certainly should
stay single. What you people ought
to do is to raise the standard of mar
riage and then the number of unmar-
ried persons will decrease auto.
