Louder rode in Ave races at Bel

most famous Jockeys in the country.
Louder's home IL in Terrell, Texas.
When he was fourteen his riding OF
the worst acting horse on his fathers
ranch became the talk OF the town.
r. j Allison, a. race horse owner,
heard some Of that talk. Later ne

Allison decided the kid would DO.
Later Louder went to Juarez for the
1s14-15 winter meeting. He won
thirty-one races and finished in the
money in a bunch of other races while
riding for the Hogan-Navelcamp sta
bIes. At Bowie, Md, Louder won ak
races. At Pimiico he won two. AT
both Maryland tracks he didn't do
much riiing--hence his low winning
percentage.
Then he went to Havre de Grace
for a few races. moving in to the
New York tracks, where he has add

more like twelve than sixteen. weighs

he is still in the apprentice class, was
sold the other day for $500.
w. K Karrick had an option on
his services. but he sold that option
to James Rowe, who was acting for
l. s. Thompson, the lessee OF the
whitney stables.
Louder has been consistent win
ner ever since he mounted a racing
pony two years ago, and he has per-
formed in sensational style every
time out. His most notable achieve
ment was at Pimlico, when he
brought Osary Maid, a $2t7 to 81

FULL Of STOCK
Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A. Meyer, who left one Of the best
Counties in Minnesota. probably be-
cause he got a good price for his ex-
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story Is we'll
worth repeating. He says:
ITO say l was greatly surprised
when l reached Saskatchewan and AL
berta would be expressing it mildly.
In a country where SO much suffering
was reported, found everyone in
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who We're re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack OF feed, found with their barns
full of stock, and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 100 acres to two sections of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
in crops this year.
Prospects for bumper crop are.
splendid. 1t is little cold now, but,
nothing is frosted. either in gardens
or fields. Land can be bought quite
reasonably here from those who vol
unteered their services in the Euro
pean war. Here are certainly the
best opportunities for securing good
home with a farm and independence
for life in short time. Before I
started heard that prices were SO
high. Flour was reported at $12 per
hundred 1t is 1925 here. In the west
all the groceries can be purchased
for nearly the same as in Mimi The
only article that found higher
was kerosene at IS cts per gallon.
When saw the land l wondered why
people do not live where they pro-
duce enough from the soil to make
comfortable living. We visited T. T.
Safer. John Dahls. w. ]. and r. d.
Holt's., Martin Halmen. Ole Halvorson,

Among the adaptations of devices
of domestic convenience to the re-
quirements of modern warfare is the
employment of narrow gauge rail-
ways in the supply of trenches on
the battle lines at the front in Eu-
rope. More than 100 such trains, it
is reported, are now in construction
at works in Pennsylvania.
These trains. as described, will run
upon track two feet in width, in
tunnels SO small that they can reach
the firing line, right into the trenches,
unseen by the enemy. carrying am
munition, shrapnel, hand grenades
and arms. BY SO much, it is expected
the resources of the trench fighters
will be supplied. The use of such
miniature trains is an incident of the
evolution of the system Of under
ground close-to-hand fighting adopted
in this war.-Boston Post.
