Telling Us How.

There is nothing more irritat.
ingto the people Of q small town
than the air of superiority that
people from larger towns have
towards them and their village.
It. is hard to say just what
prompts the city man to feel
greater than the villager, but he
almost invariably does. and what
makes it worse, shows it in his
actions.
It is the weakness Of city peo-
pie, this belief of theirs that
country people are back num-
bers. The man from a city con-
cern pays the country business
man a visit and shows plainly
that he considers the little mer-
chant a very small potato; but if
he were wise enough to realize
the truth of their respective bus
inesses. he would know that the
back-number merchant, as he
looks upon him, is laying by each
year more than the city chap is
drawing as a hired man from a
company that could find a thou
sand like him in days time.
The narrow-brained lecturer
drops into the small town, and
at the beginning Of his talk, men,
tions that he has changed his
subject, flor fear the one an
nounced would be over the heads
of his audience" and then pro-
ceeds to ramble along for a
couple of hours with stale stories
and disconnected ideas, boring
his auditors half to death. The
Chatauqua entertainer, until he
has had a good deal of expert
ence; the travelling salesman, up
to the time he becomes of some
value to his house; the transient
visitor, on a chance business or
pleasure trip; the young city en-
ploye, before he learns the les
sons of the relation of capital to
business, wherever it is en-
ployed-all of them make the
same mistake of misjudging the
capacity, the intelligence and the
character of country people.
If there is such a thing as su-
periority between city and coun-
try folks, the latter have the
best opportunity of securing it.
But as people, there is no differ
epce between those who live in
cities and those who live in the
country. They all read the same
newspapers, the same magazines
and same books; they hear the
same lecturers, and see the same
theatrical performances; they at
tend the same high schools and
graduate from the same colleges
and universities; they take the
same trips, visit the same vaca-
ton resorts, and make as many
excursions abroad; they ride in
PuIlmans as often, and pay their
bills as regularly; and when ev-
erything is counted, it is hard to
point out any difference between
them, except that the country
people have the advantage of
freedom from the life in throngs,
and from a scramble for a liveli-
hood with great numbers con-
testing for a share.
We have no contempt or criti-
cism for those who prefer to live
in city, but we do object to
their attitude of scorn for the
doings Of those who live in the
country or small towns. There
is no basis for their feeling Of
superiority and, to a person with
a proper understanding Of the
relations Of things, it is nonsens-
ical and uncalled-for.

PRESENT WAR AFFECTS RAILS
ING OF HORSES.
Cuts Off Natural Outlet of Surplus
Except for Army Use.

The natural outlet for the horse
and mule market of the United
States has been closed on account
of the European war, except for
cavalry and artillery horses and
mules, according to Professor E. A.
Trowbridge of the animal hus.
bandry department of the Universe
ty of Missouri. These are being
taken from the lighthouse produc
ing section of the country. A great
many have been furnished by Mis-
souri,. This movement has been
regarded as good thing for the
coming standard of horses and
mules in the United States, as most
of the animals are of inferior
grade.
However. the war has stopped
the importation of breeding stock
and this country will be hampered
for the present, but America may
be called on to supply the horse
and mule market of Europe later.
There has been a falling off in
price of horses and mules. This
may be due to the extensive use of
automobiles in the country and
city.
From January l, 1918, to January
1. 1914. the number of horses on
farms in the United States increas-
ed 100000 head, while mules in
creased 10000 The average price
of horses decreased a little over 81
a head. In Missouri horses de-
creased 1000 head and fell off So a
head in value. The number of
mules remained about the same,
but they also fell off in price about
SIS a head.
Since 1895 the horse and mule
market prices have been quite
stationary and there has been a
gradual increase in number and
value until the present slump.
Professor Trowbridge says the
market has been in an unsettled
condition for the last year and a
half.
