Governments on the Way.
sTEEDs NEEDED FOR CAVALRY
Harry McwiIIiams Promoted 60 Re-
spOnsIbIe Position on Road with
Armour Company-suffra-
gettes Are Active,


Horsemen at the Iocai stock yards mar
ket have received advices from New York
City that buyers are on their way west
to purchase an unlimited number Of war
horses to be used in the war now going
on in Europe 1t Is yet mystery what
countries are buying but II is the general
opinion that England and France are the
most probable. The local horse men are
more interested in the fact that the buy
ers are actually on their. way west and
that they have the ready cash and plenty
Of II. Every effort possible . being made
to fill up the local horse yards with as
many eligible steeds as possible
According 70 the advices from New
York City the majority OF the orders will
be for cavalry service. A number OF
strict regulations as to the quality and
breed of the steeds is required by the
United states army and also by the mill
tarys OF Europe. but in this case, the
ordinary horse will not receive as strict
an examination.
The local market has not been very busy
this year in consideration with its former
growth and local horse men will make
every effort TO secure as many horses for
the European buyers inspection during
the remainder Of the week as they can.

to be sent out on such a responsible road
