Colorado Bred Horses

| The extensive purchase of Colorado
horses for the foreign legions should
call attention again to the aptitude
of this climate for the breeding of
strong lunged. deep-chested, clean
limbed animals for saddle, coach and
cavalry purposes. Representatives
of the British army have spent II
million dollars here, and now agents
for another foresgn government are
on hand to take what remains of
suitable horsenesh
y dozen years ago IA horse breeding
experiment station was established
at the Colorado Agricultural college.
| This was done after it had been dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of fed
eral authorities that Colorado-bred
horses were less likely to contract
disease and that climate and altitude
combined increased the bone and
gave them wonderful constitution.
At the experiment station the
Oldenburg coach horse and the Nor
gan type of American horse, the lat
ter long accepted by many breeders
established at the outset. The fed
eral agricultural department joined
the state in this work and commit
tee of experts was chosen to snperin-
tend the breeding of what was to
have been in time standard Colora-
do bred hOrses-a coach horse and IA
saddle or cavalry horse.
Sufficient progress was made to
horsemen and farmers that this re-
gion could produce in time n dis
tinct animal, fit for my lady, and if
need be, to do more commonplace
work, before dissension entered the
ranks. The expert largely RESPONSE

those who remained difference eX-
listed regarding the breed made neces

ton beginning to be wrought by the
automobile.
Since then the Agricultural col
lege has taken n renewed lease of life
and broadened greatly its field of
operations and the status of the auto
mobile in relation to the horse has
been pretty well fixed.
Now is the time for those in con-
troll to undertake seriously and with
n definite program the question of
bringing forward the Colorado horse.
to lead the way in experiments and
to offer encouragement to farmers to
breed the horse that is in demand.
There will always be "A keen market
for the Colorado animal, whether the
horse be for pleasure, sport or carry

The Navy Military Training

1t is u fine showing that Secretary
Daniels makes for the United States
navy. 1t makes every American
glad. That part of it which treats of
the guns and ammunition will be
studied carefully by foreign powers.
They will not forget that up to date
in actual practice the rule has been
that just twice as many shots fired
by Americans in war from either
small arms or great take effect than
when fired by foreign armies or ships.
What is said of American submarines
will also be carefully noted.
Now If our schools were keeping
pace with the navy; If the cource of
study in all our higher schools could
include an hour n day of military
drill and then one year in camp, 1t
would not cost very much more than
at present and could it be tried for
five years the entire sentiment Of the
people would insist upon making 1t
the rule.
That would not encourage militar-
ism at all, it would merely accom-
pIish the youth OF the country In
something they need to know, and
their after lives would prove that 1t
was really the most useful portion
of the education the schools gave
them.
Then, too, in the event of a war
and we have had a war in every gem
Grafton since ours was nation-it
would prevent thousands of deaths in
learning war after it was too late.
This is so plain that one would
think the people would demand that
the rule should be at once establish

TAKE PLEASURE, IN HAGGLING
TIbetans Will Not BE Denied the joys
That Accrue From the Sense
Of Bargaining. 4l

"Mornin' time, bargain time!" calls
out one OF the pedd1ers by the way
side in Tibet cheerfully as he sees
you returning from glimpse OF the
SHOWS at sunrise. You bid him come
to you, and from one of the innumer.
able pockets concealed In his volu-
minous robe he will produce a perfect
little Jade cup. or Tibetan coffee
pot. or gold copper and precious
stones. or perhaps a huge lump Of
rough turquoise hewn to look like a
couch with tiny gold Buddha reclin-
ing on 1t.
Then comes the bargaining, in which
he and all his friends take part against
your single self.
1t can all be done by signs and
smiles and patience and in the long
run you will get some things well
worth having at very reasonable
price.
But you must have no false pride
about bargaining. 1t is an elementary
part Of these peoples nature. and the
Joy OF selling will leave them forever
when the day Of haggling is done.

REASON FOR THE MUsTAcHE
In Evidence az Having Been Worn by
British Soldiers as Measure Of

The correspondent who writes to

British war office authorities should
insist on soldiers being clean shaven
instead Of ordering them to wear mus

influence in the adoption Of the mus
tache OF the British army. The idea
was first borrowed from a batch of
Austrian officers quartered with some
Of our troops on the South coast dur
ing the Waterloo campaign. 1t was
then taken up by the guards. who very

part of mere line regiments to follow
the new fashion. The winter cam
paign in the Crimea led our men to
grow full boards for warmth. and
these, modified into flowing whiskers
("Picadilly weepers," as they came
to be called) on their return to Lon
