BUYING HORSES
HERE FOR ALLIES

at isn't simply horses that the AL
lies want; the horses must conform
to a high standard and the slightest
deficiency disbars them," f. J. Oeff
said today.
Oeff, who is buying horses to be
shipped to the theatre of war, is act
ing for horse dealing concern at
Fort Worth, Tex. He came here 9
weeks ago and during that time has
shipped 1OS horses out of the valley.
at isn't simply horses I want he
repeated. "If that were the case, |
venture to say l could buy 500 horses
before nightfall.
"The horses | want and the horses
the Allies are clamoring for are of
the heavy draft horse type and must
be sound and without blemishes of any
kind" he continued.
"These horses are to be used. moi
for riding, but for use in dragging
heavy artillery. The type of horse
| am most anxious to get is the ami
NAL which weighs between 1,2OO and
1,400 pounds and ranges in age from
r to 8 years.
But they must be free from the
slightest deformity or affliction," he
declared, emphatically.
"A wire mark, some small blemish
of apparently little Importance, or, in
fact, any physical affection which is
apt to affect the efficiency Of the
animal, disbars it for use in the Allies
great war machine"
Asked what the stability of the mar
ket for horses of this kind is, Oeff
replied:
Somehow the impression has gone
forth that the market is soaring, be-
cause the demand for horses has be-
come little keener than is the usual
wont of the market. That isn't the
case. Neither are the buyers for the
Allies paying eXorbitant prices or
prices which are above the ordinary
market value of an animal"
As an exhibition of the proof OF
his statement, Oeff displayed solid
ly-bult horse of the type which he
declared was ideal for use in the army,
and said:
81 paid 1925 for that horse, and that
is a convincing argument that the
horse market has not reached the
point where the price is considerably
higher than the price which horse
brings under normal conditions"
Oeff recently bought the artillery
type of horse through the Middle
Western states and is about to leave
the valley. He operated in the vicin-
ity of San Diego, where he said he
bought several carloads of horses.
The Allies are not buying saddle
horses in the United States at the
present time, Oeff said.

Of course, you will say you do.
But | wonder if you really do?
This is what makes me wond-

Week before last we went into

bought lot of goods to sew up,

some work clothing, some paint
and some farm tools. We had

Around the stove in your store

day-unless it might be to buy
some chewing tobacco to muss
up the floor with. Yet you had
plenty of room for them, but
took no thought of me and my
needs other than selling me
merchandise and getting my
money.
Let's get to the point:
Why don't you have a rest

method is not desirable because the
fastener cannot be located exactly
where the wire of the fencing will
come when the post is set in the
ground; then. too, the fastener will
eventually rust or break off and will
thus injure the looks of the post.
Or the other hand, holes through the
method is, In general, unsatisfactory.
The simplest, easiest, and cheapest
way of fastening wire fence to con.
crete post is by encircling the post
with wire one size less than the cor
responding wire in the fence proper
and by twisting this wire around the
strand of the fence. This is done IN
two ways. The fastening wire Is
placed around the post. twisted upon
itself and then to the fence wire; or
one end of the fastening wire is twist
ed around the fence wire, and the free
end is then carried around the post
and twisted on the other side to the
same wire. Either plan is good. but
care must be taken to draw the fasten-
ing wire tight, or else stock trying t.
get through the fence may raise or
crush down the fencing with their
heads. II any trouble Is experienced.
the post should be roughened at the
fastening point with a cold chisel.
Expansion and contraction Of the
fence due to heat and cold are cared
for by the tension curves or kinks"
in the woven-wire fencing, and no fear
may be felt in drawing the fastening
wires as tight as necessary. Wooden
mailing strips should never be EN-.
bedded in the posts. for moisture will
swell the wood and crack the con.
crete.
