have been avoided. At the outbreak
OF the war the United States and Rus
sia held IS per cent OF the worlds sup
ply OF horses.
Some idea OF the rate OF consump-
ton Of horses in Europe may be gain
ed from statements made by officers
OF the re-mount department OF the
British army in estimating that the
average life Of a horse on the firing
lin is about ten days. During the Amer
lean Civil War the life Of a cavalry
horse averaged only four months. Dur
ing his Shenandoah Valley campaign,
Sheridan was supplied with fresh
horses at the rate of $50 per day. Dur
ing 1864 the northern army's consump-
ton OF horses was 500 per day, with
out considering those captured and
not reported. During eight months Of
that year the cavalry Of the army OF
the Potomac was remounted twice,
requiring nearly 10000 horses in all.
Recent estimates furnished show
that the United States army and the
navy guards require 5000 new horses
a year. On a peace basis we have
about 10000 horses.

STATE RURAL SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE

tendents will organize the counties
into county leagues. All county SUI
perintendents and teachers will be re-
quested to assist in making every rural
school house a place of interest, in
spiration, and entertainment. The pri-
mary purpose of this campaign is to
make the rural school house a COM
munity center in the fullest sense.
More than 1000 tecahers have prom
ised to organize evening schools for
the benefit of those who cannot read
and write. as we'll as to give assist
ance and help to those who can read
and write and desire to improve in the
fundamental principles of education
Special attention will be given the
subjects of thrift, agriculture, corn
and cotton clubs, poultry, domestic
science and to the building up of use
full Libraries which will be free to all
of the residents of the community. In
vitatiOns will be extended to all who
are interested in education to make
public addresses on the subject of edu-
cation. This will include United States
senators and congressman, state and
county officials, superintendent and
teachers. A special letter will be sent
to all newspapers inviting them to
take an active part in the campaign,
and to all ministers asking them to de-
vote a part of their time to encour-
aging better educational facilities. All
teachers will be urged to take a more
active interest in current events to
the extent that they subscribe for at

j. s. SUPPLY
Of HORSES|S
DIMINISHING
MORE THAN s7ooo0.ooo WORTH
INCLUDING MULES, HAVE BEEN
EXPORTED TO THE WARRlNG
NATIONS.

Washington. July 26.-Unless the
government takes steps to stop the
drain upon the live stock resources
by European nations, it is feared the
United States will soon find itself de-
void Of good horses and mules. The
European stocks OF horses and mules
were practically wiped out during the
early months OF the war, causing
the government buyers to turn their
attention to the United States, and it
is recorded that they have been paying
top prices for choice animals.
More than S7OOOO,OO0 worth of
horses and mules have been exported
to Europe since outbreak of the war
last year About $6O,000,OOO OF this
is represented in horses alone. There
have been no cavalry charges to speak
of in the conflict such as our civil
war saw, but there has been a heavy
loss Of animals used in draft work
and the artillery in particular. The
mule has not played the part as in
former wars of being relied upon chief
ly for ammunition transportation and
draft work The war is being fought
for gains OF feet and yards, and the
question OF ammunition transportation
to the fighting lines is said not to be
a problem.
Sentiment is gathering for an en-
barge against expectation of brood
mares for any purpose, since econo-
mists are concluding that the United
States will have to do something to
avert a famine of good horses and
mules in the near future. For the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1914, the
United States government spent $794,-
$50 for horses for army use, and near
ly $6OO,OOO was appropriated for SINH
lar purposes during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1915.

Refuse to Sell Horses.

In many communities or the MD
die west persons have flatly refused
to sell their horses and mules, purely
upon the ground they were to be sent
to the European slaughter house. To
meet this sentiment, representations
are made, it is said by American buy
ers representing foreign governments
on a commission of SO per head that
the animals are to be used in agricul-
tural pursuits. They are intended for
the armies, just the same.
Norfolk has been the big port OF ex-
portation although Galveston and New
Orleans have recorded the shipment OF
many thousands of head to Europe.
Agents Of foregn governments have
been scraplng the prairies of OklahO-
mama and Texas for the choice stock.
The Kansas City and Fort Worth
markets have been invaded for large
purchases, and from the former point
the shipments to France and England
have chiefly been made through Cana
da. Italy imported thousands Of Amer
lean horses during its period of pre-
paration, and they continue since its
war was declared. In some of the
eastern sections, close to the Allan
tic seaboard, reports show that the
farms and cities have been almost
cleaned of the available stock of
horses, and added to reports from the
central states and those west of the
Mississippi show there has been an
unprecedented drain on the supplies.
Many purchases were made in the
south, where the planter felt called
upon to release all stock to the mini
mum required for working his land.
1t is said that the average price for
horses and mules paid by foreign gov
ernments has been around $50 per
head, although for deliveries in Europe
the figure has been much higher.
In value, it is said horses and mules
sold to Europe exceed that of eXplo-
siyes. firearms and motor trucks. One
authority computes that the United
States has already sold to the British
far greater number of horses and
mules than that government used dur
ing the three years of the Boer war.
Heavy shipments have been made
from Oregon. The humane society of
the state had taken up the fight to pre-
vent the state from being cleaned of
horses and mules, and is appealing to
the people on the grounds of humani-
ty.
So certain is the United States to
be called upon heavily for both brood
mares and geldings for agricultural
sections of Europe after peace is de-
clared. the United States department
of agriculture has called attention in
public bulletins to what is believed
will be the demand. II advises that
only horses of high quality may pro-
ftably be raised and that inferior
horses are a drug on the market. In

DEMAND OWING TO
EUROPEAN WAR, TO CoNTIN-
UE, OFFICIALS SAY.

Another solid train Of horses and
mules, the pick of the Central States,
shot through Hattiesburg over the
New Orleans and Northeastern early
today, destined for Europe's death
hopper. The animals, following the
course of thousands OF others which
have passed through here in recent
months, were landed in New Orleans,
where they will be loaded on board
cattle ships and sent to Liverpool and
to Havre Eventually they will find
themselves in the ranks of the Allies,
where the average life of a war horse
mule is four and a half days.
Government officials are pointing
out that the breeding of horses and
mules during the next two or three
years will be a profitable business to
the American raiser.
The European war has made phe-
nomenal demand upon the United
States for animals, and when the war
| IS ended this demand will be contin-
ue6 as horses and mules will be need
ed for agricultural purposes through
out Europe.
| The annual shipment abroad OF
horses for several years past has been
%, 900 average value s142. and the
shipment of mules has been 5000. val
ued at $3.50 each.
During the ten months of the war
the expectation of horses has reached
I215.759, valued at $47,7S3.S4S. or about
1920 each, and 1929 mules, valued at
$7,7S3,014, or more than $3.50 head.
