ONE MANS OPINIONS.
BY N. D.. COCHRAN

Horses and Humans horse is
worth more money in the market
than a human being. According to
the latest horse census we have about
as many horses as humans
100000. We have the largest sup
ply in the world, next to Russia. So
far we have exported only about 75,-
600 for the war; and it is estimated
the war viii use up $4,000, 900 horses.
Horses are, valuable. When one
dies it costs money to buy another.
When a working man dies it costs
nothing to get another. Plenty of
them are walking the streets looking
for jobs. All an employer, has to do
Is to pick up one on the street or
phone to an employment bureau.
