Spring And Hope
By II. II. Windsor, in Popular Me-
chanlcs Magazine.

AS children ara adults, we look for
ward to the coming of Spring with re-
neWed nope. Even though the Aut-
umlI means the gathering of harVeSts,
the tultilment of hopes, a something
accomplished, it does not afford that
renewed action and awakening to eff
fort that the Softening breeZcs, gentle
showers and mud skies Of Spring cal
to life. A great planting is in pro-
gress. Il. the South much Of it has
already been done, and like vast
wave Is sweeping from uuf to Lakes
Probably never IN our history have so
many acres been plowed and planted
as this year, for We have not only our
selves but other lands to feed. We
look and hope for an unprecedented
yield. That 5 encouraging.
The railroads, having secured the
rate increase so long withheld, are
striving to tloaU .oans and secure the
money necessary to repair their roads
and rolling stock, long neglected. AL
ready total of $40, 100000 to be spent
in this way is announced, and the re-
suit is car shops are opening their
long-closed doors ard many ii small
plant which has been idle for months
is getting ready to resume and furnish
the specialties they manufacture.
That's hopeful.
The steel mills have sent out the
welcome news, and thousands of work
men who have been idle all Winter
now hasten each morning toward the
goal of their dependence. Not all are
needed yet, by any means, but the
number is Increasing every week. That
helps.
The. shelves of the country dealer
are as nearly empty as possible; so
are the storage rooms of the whole
saler and iobber Yet they have been
able to weather the gale, for the fail
ures have been remarkably few in
number; there is no initiation in mer-
chandising, and once the tide turns, as
it must inevitably do one of these
days, the wires will almost melt with
the frantic appeals to hurry up orders
and shipments. The factories will be
working night and day and the wheels
of commerce will merrily turn again.
All this is no dream, but the newt
able. Some unforeseen cog may slip
and occasion some delay, but signs
surely do point to splendid resump-
ton of business from now on. That's
promising.
What's the matter with us, any
way? Big crops for two years and
now wartime prices for grain and the
money piling up in the banks. The de
posits in Chicago banks alone increas-
ed $90,000000 the first six weeks in
1913. We are better off than we
know, stronger than we realize. We
have not lost our skill, nor initiative,
nor vitality. We're scared. We are
like a lot of people at funeral: the
service is over, it's time to go, every
body wants to leave, and each hest
tates to be the first to start. The
"buy it now" and the "build it now"
and lot of 'do it nows' are all right.
While our sympathies for others in
distress naturally depress us, it is
time to rise above our fears, and with
firm hands and brave hearts march
confidently out into our future and our
destiny. And do things.

Prices Already Doubled.

These are the facts that Indicate a
threatened horse famine in America.
The horse, apparently contemptuous-
ly tossed into the ditch of time by the
motor car and the curtailment of rae
ing, rears its head again.
The price of horses has doubled
since last August, and after foreign
governments buy their horses they
have to pay from $50 to $50 apiece for
passage.
This makes each horse cost from
$3.50 to $500 when it lands in Europe.
The same condition rules in the
market for mules. In Missouri and
the South generally, the price of mules
has gone up Is per cent.

See Horse Famine

Reports which for week or more
have been coming from various sec
tons of the country that the wars
demand for horses and mules is drain
ing the United States, and will cause
a serious shortage in the supply at
home, are confirmed by the big deal
ers in New York. Figures issued at
an informal gathering of the dealers
We're today disclosed that since Aug
ust $4,000 American horses, for which
$9,S75, 900 has been paid, have been
exported to England and France.
Agents are now in Virginia, Mary
land, and on through the Southwest
after more horses and mules.
Orders Begin to go Begging.
The steamship Verona took away
from the New York port Tuesday $50
horses as part of an order for 10000
placed in this country by Italy; We'd
nesday the Shenandoah, under the
British flag, sailed with 800 horses
for use in the English army.
Thursday the Ventura took 800.
Many other hundreds have been ship
ped from Baltimore, Newport News,
New Orleans and Norfolk in the last
few weeks.
Orders are being filled and other or
ders are going begging, which demand
about 10000 more horses and mules.
Greece has recently come into the
market with France, England and
Italy bidding for American horses,
and if Germany, Austria and Turkey
had free path to these, the demand
from that source would also be enor-
