One instance alone is sufficient
to show how badly they are in
need. In the Hanley pottery dis"
trict today, 100000 men, women
and children were lined up in y
bread line.to get the pittance of
bread and soup which the city
council had ordered distributed.
Some of the women and children
were so weak that they tainted
as they stood there. Those who
tainted lost their place in the line.
Food riots have taken place in .
several places, especially through"
out Scotland and Wales. Stores
have been broken into and pill
LACED of their provisions. Gas,1
works have been attacked and
wrecked that little coke might
be secured for fuel.
And each day the conditions
are becoming worse. The major
ity of the Lancashire and York
shire cotton mills closed down to-"
day because of lack. of fuel. Their
tens of thousands of workers"
have joined the army of the starv-i7
ing and the cold.
The infant mortality is appalI-
ing. Few of the working class
have money left to buy milk, and .
in thousands of homes weak,

And the homes are deadly cold, i"
and there is no furniture, no.
heavy clothing in them. Every
thing that could be paWned has

COAL STRIKE BEGINNING

Britain has the land known. such

Hunger and cold and the mer-
CHESS grip of usury has spread
over ever community in England,
Scotland and Wales, like an cpl

The coal strike is beginning to
take its. toll; and it is toll not
only of money but of human lives.
Two and one-half million work
ers, men, women and children,
are jobless.
On that two and one-half mil
lions there are enough others de-
pendent to bring the total of
those facing death by starvation
UP to ten millions.
Less than a million of those out
of work are coal miners. The
rest are men andlwomen and chill
dren, whose places of employ
ment have been shut down for
lack of fuel.
The cities are places of horror.
Through the streets winds a con-
slant, never-ending procession of
men and women and children,
white-faced and wan, pinched by
hunger.
Their dragging steps lead all
the one way. They all carry some
miserable little household god in
their hands. They are. the starv-
ing, bout nd for the panshops.
And these-the pawnshops-
have increased their rate of inter

mans ignorance or negligence. Rear
ing good stock requires responsible
owners and employees.
1t is perfectly clear, however. that
when the work done on farm by two
geldings Is equally as well done by
three mares at very slight expense
in the feed cost. and when such extra
feed cost Is Offset with a balance Of
500 or $3.50 to spare. that 1t is an
economic waste not to use mares. The
man who has not used mares In his
work is short the 500 or $3.50 which
the other man. has secured through
the intelligent use Of good draft
mares in his farm work.
The man who has not used mares
and produced colts has benefited no
one. His farm has produced that
much loss. These colts might as well
have been produced and their sale
would have added to his own wealth
and to that OF the community where
he resides.

ployed for farm work. and the lack oil
such intelligent horsemanship is re-

Cur farms.
Men who are careless or ignorant
always have so-called bad luck with
their mares They either fail to get
the mares In foal or handle them In
such manner that they lose their colts
before they are carried the full time.
Still worse. many men lose the colts
after they have been produced. be-
cause Of ignorance OF the simplest
sanitary precautions in handling colts
at time Of birth and for a short time
subsequent thereto.
Sound sense In loading and driving
mares. and intelligent methods at
foafing time, are the only things need

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
The Emperor Of Rome Admired the
Courage and Pluck Of
Caractacus.

One of the most unique captives
ever brought home to Rome by Julius
Caesar was Caractacus of the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing in fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained, and the emperor roared to
try to brighten Caractacus, but the
brave chief never so much as quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch in the
eye and said:
you fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves. /
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart Of the en-
peror. and the ruler of the Romans
resolved to see II Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors. On
one of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that If he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never had before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children.
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal of his weapons. and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.
