hard under such conditions must either
eat more than the clipped or short

must fall OF in 6esh. In giving his
views on the practice Of clipping horses.
Dr.. w. W. Talbot Of Iowa says:
The clipping Of horses is becoming
quite u common practice. especially In
the eastern states and in our larger
towns and cities. and this care Of a
horse has become a great benefit to
his well being and general keeping. 1t
has been shown a number Of times the
good to the horse that is clipped over
one that is not. this demonstration
being made by large e who
are owners Of many horses. One firm
In New York which owns over 400
horses n spring had half Of them
clipped. Among those thut were clip
ped they had nOt one that was sick.
while among those with their long
coats on they had over 1875 horses with
colds. coughs. pneumonia and various
other lung and skin troubles.
The horse that is clipped Of his long,
thick. shaggy coat looks better. feels
better. works better and will keep and
amount Of food than the horse with
long hair. and the horse with long
hair ia more predisposed and contracts
disease and skin troubles. especially
such as colds. pneumonia. coughs.

If a man should become wet from

Of contracting some form of sickness.
and the same comparison holds good
to the horse With a long coat Of wet
hair when he returns from his days
work to the. stable. wet. muddy and
tired.
The clipping of horses ia Increasing
rapidly. and 1t should. as those own
ing horses are beginning to e the

and appearance Of the horse and the

The most important point about hog
troughs is that they may be. readily
cleaned. No trough should be used
that has cracks in It where dirt and

and cheapest forms Of troughs ia the
old ..v'' shaped trough. This ia very
satisfactory when properly made. For
all general purposes It should be from
six feet to ten feet long. It Is made by
Mailing two two-inch planks together.
One should be two inches wider than.
the other SO as to make the trough

should be heavy two inch stun and

flood was over, and carried them either
to twostory houses or to gins wherc
they would be safe. With a negro man

Light After Darkness.

The river has been o'erflowing,
But it's back in banks today,
And the angry, seething water
Glides swiftly on its way.
Some folks have suffered terribly,
With some twas worser still;
OF course, it might o'erfiow again,
But it amt likely it will.
Many prophesy that sickness
Will follow in its wake,
And those that were spared from the
flood
This sacrifice must make.
And some think that the gods of fate
Will never, never more
Bring back the peace and happiness
That once they knew before.
For some twill be true hardship,
For none it will be good,
But crack right into it again
And smile some too, would;
And the good, kind old Providence
That's allus done us right
Will be on hand again to turn
Our darkness into light.

CLUBS GIVEN HEARING
BY THE EXCISE BOARD
Representatives State that Sale Of
Liquor Is Not the Chief Source
of Revenue.
DECISIONS EXPECTED TODAY

Representatives of various Washington
clubs having liquor licenses appeared be-
fore the Excise Board yesterday for the
purpose of informing that body that the
sale of liquor in their clubs ''is merely
an incident and not a chief source of
revenue" The new excise law provides
that before a license may be issued to a
club it must be shown that the organi-
zation is duly incorporated, that its mem
bership is bona fide, and that it does not
derive its principal revenue from the sale
OF liquor.
After the hearings, Joseph c. Sheehy.
chairman of the board. said that it did
not appear that grounds existed for de-
nying any of the clubs their applications
for liquor license renewals. He intimated
that in no instance was il shown that a
club was deriving its chief revenue from
the sale of intoXicants-
The clubs represented at the hearing
were the Army and Navy. the Cosmos.
the Century, Metropolitan, National
Press, University, Commercial, Washing
ton Lodge of EIks. Arion Singing Society.
Washington Saengerbund. Eagles, jolly
Fat Mems, and the Wineview clubs, and
a cOlored club. the Sparta Club.
Hearing in the case of the Monticello
Club was postponed at the request OF its
representatives. The decisions OF the
board probably will be made public to-
dav
