Span of Charmers Straddle

is to be closed and
deal is off

Frank Kimmel, bachelor, beau brum-
mel and horse trader, has just become
the owner of the best looking team in
Cape County, but they are opposed to
work.
They look well, eat well and do not
object to being taken out for an airing
now and then, but that is as far as
they are willing to go. Speaking con-
fidentially, they are valued at $500 by
their owner.
"They are Just colts" said Mr.. Kim
mel few days ago when he reached
the Cape Brewery & Ice Company, and
asked NJ. J. koeck if he wouldn't like
to buy a span of real horses.
"Do you guarantee them to pull ?"
Frank was asked.
"Did you say pull? Why, that's
their middle NAME" replied Mr. Kim
mel.
"Now, l want you to give them a
trial." he continued "You know Frank
Kimmel don't want you to buy some
thing you don't want. Just take this
pair of charmers and use them for a
week"
A moment later Chris Wolf was
leading the Kimmel team to the barn.
After giving them a banquet of hay
and corn, Christ took them out, har-
messed them and hitched them to a
wagon.
Proudly mounting the seat, Chris
took hold of the lines and clucked to
the beauties. One looked over its right
shoulder at the driver and then the
other did likewise, as if they had not
been properly introduced to Mr.. Wolf.
Chris clucked again, and once more
the horses looked around and acted
like they had a good notion to switch
their tails at the driver.
"None. of that rough stuff with me,
snapped Mr.. Wolf. Lets CO." And
he gave a stiff yank on the lines to
! let the team know that he couldn't call
on the trade and stand still.
One of the horses gently raised its
right front foot and stroked the
tongue of the wagon. Then the other
kicked over one of its traces.
81 'spect I've hitched these birds or
the wrong side" murmured the driver
"Guess I'll unhook 'em and swap
sides"
a few minutes later he was agair
in the seat, and gave the team the
signal to start. The horses turned
and looked at Mr.. Wolf defiantly, but
didn't bulge an inch.
Seizing the whip, Mr.. Wolf cracked
it over their rear ends. With studied
precision, the horses raised their real

BUFFUM LECTURES
ON ROAD MAKING
Annual "ROund-Up Will 60 Full
Blast Today on Teach
ers Arrival.

In an address on General Road
Construction and Specifications for a
Standard Road last night, Frank
W. Buffum, State Highway Engineer,
outlined the most important features
that obtain durability and safety for
persons using highways. His address
was delivered at the Normal School
auditorium at the first evening general
session of the annual Roundup COM
prising four conventions and two prod
ucts shows.
keep all your roads a full forty
feet in width" Buffum urged. "That
is the proper width for the highway
which traffic is entitled to and more
over, by keeping that width, you pre-
vent farmers from encroaching upon
the road by moving their fences out.
"If a farmer is given the proper no.
tification that his fence is encroaching
upon the public highway, he is subject
to a penalty of S5 a day.
"And that penalty can be collected
also, for it was but a short time ago
that a man in Cooper County paid in
$3.50 in such penalties.
Bridges and culverts ought to have
cement flooring instead of wood; have
the hedge fences pulled back on cor
ners for the safety of traffic.
Recently case came to my atten-
ton of a man who had been warned
about a hedge fence protruding into
the roadway at a corner on his own
place A few days later that man him.
self drove around that corner and
wrecked his automobile because he
could not see well.
at likewise is a good idea to insist
that all hedge fences be kept trimmed
to the legal height of five feet.
"Another practice that we are urg-
ing in our department for the safety
of traffic, is that engineers, in making
roads, make the corners round. All
iogs in roads due to errors in survey
ing at some time or other, should be
taken care of with what is known as an
IS curve.
RAILROAD crossings in many in
stances may be eliminated and a vast
deal of safety is insured to traffic by
bells at important railway crossings.
These should be insisted upon.
81 think that any county organiza-
ton will find it true economy to invest
in the proper heavy equipment for re-
pairing and constructing roads. l sug-
gest that heavy trucks and tractors be
obtained and the roads will be better
for that investment.
There is no question but that oil
upon road reduces the cost of main
tenance.
"Another feature that We have taken
up to a great extent is the relocation
of roads to eliminate bad hills. That
is, routing highways around hills"
Buffum declared that the State
Highway Department also was en-
deavoring to have roads leading to
school houses and all post roads put

WAR MULES PASSING
THROUGH This CITY
Wade Anderson and Barney
Wagner Says Price is
Going Skyward.

Because of the shipment of more
than 400 mules out of Cape County
and counties Immediately adjoining
within the last few weeks, their price
in the last 80 days has advanced $25 a
head on all grades. The raise is the
direct result Of expectations of the
animals for war purposes.
In recent days, the animals have
been going through the Cape in herds
as high as twenty or thirty each. The
farmers who are selling them as orig
inal owners are getting prices ranging
from $50 to S175, at present.
Continued expectation of mules is
expected to send prices higher than
ever before in the history of the Mid
die West and Missouri, popularity
known as the "home" of the mule.
Expectations out of Cape County
and this vicinity have been made by
Wade Anderson, of Commerce, and
Barney Wagner, of Oran. Both An
derson and Wagner have been buying
extensively in various localities, send
ing their purchases to their respective
homes, where they are held till a large
enough number is gathered together
to make a car load lot to St. Louis or
New Orleans.
They in turn sell to commission men
in St. Louis, who have the contracts
with foreign governments, to supply
the horses and mules wanted in the
war.
Both Anderson and Wagner each
have shipped out approximately 200
head of mules each recently. Last
Sunday, Anderson made shipment of
AZ head to St. Louis. The animals are
shipped % to 25 head in a car.
The SITS mules are those used for
war purposes. The smaller animals
that bring the farmers here in the
neighborhood of $50, are shipped again
into the cotton fields, where they are
used in the business of getting the
crops harvested.
The war mule, which is proving to
be unquestionably better animal than
the horse for war hauling, must be
heavy, at least fifteen hands high and
must have big bones.
The contractors in st. Louis ship to
concentration points in the East,
whence they load the cargoes at New
Port News for the most part. A vast
deal of the shipping to European ports
is done from that point, but New Or
leans is a shipping point for some
stock as well.
According to horse and mule dealers,
| the contractors are not paid their
money for the mules till they have
been loaded aboard the transports that
will carry them abroad. For the most
part, the shipments are made to
French ports and ports on the Med
iterranean sea.
Owing to the fact that mules are
much harder when being shipped than
horses, the danger of loss and the ac-
tual loss to the contractors furnishing
