consequently buyers who would otherwise

the middle OF December the largest user
Of team power in Chicago announced that
he would need nifty 10 seventy five fresh
horses tn January. but SO far he has not
purchased single animal. and announces
Tint mt no time have all the horses In his
barn been In service. The only encourac-
ing note comes from the Canadian north
west. which intimates that II will need
n large number OF horses for farm and
railroad construction purposes. Most of
curernt business IL being done on farm &C.
count. indicating that large area will be
planted in corn this spring. That the mo-
tor truck n factor In curtailinS city de.

THE SIGN OF THE CROSS!

Faithful Daughter OF Mother Church
Makes Sign OF Safety--Won't You
DO Something TO Help The Poor
Birds In Winter?
Sometime ago ! heard of an old
lady who lived and died in a New
York town; her life was filled with
good deeds, and her friends were
many. Death had claimed her, and
she was about to be buried; those
who had known and loved her had
gathered to pay their last tribute of
respect Among the many, came an
old Irish woman, bowed down with
the weight of years and hard labor,
her raiment, everything about her, in
dicating, to say the least that she was
a little out of place in that gather
ing. She recognized that fact too,
and stood on the outskirts of the
throng; her presence there seemed
to her to be all the return she. could
make Some one noticed her and
suggested that perhaps she would
like to look for the last time upon
the face of her benefactress; the in
vitation was extended and she went
forward, with bowed head, slowly,
realizing that in all probability
ular faith in that gathering; she
reached the bier, and then, appar-
emily remembering the past, deter
mined in the face of all the people
to repay as far as possible, the debt
she owed, to do her part, and stoop-
ing over, with her fore finger, she
made upon the forehead of that cold,
still form, the sign of that Great
Church to which she belonged, a
sign that she had been taught since
childhood was absolutely necessary
to carry the soul of that departed
one in safety across the valley of
dark shadows That old lady by
that act preached a mighty sermon
there. She had the moral courage
co stand in the face of the world
for what she thought was right. Oh
how | wish every lover of our birds
had the courage to stand squarely
at all times for their best friends
