A farmer should be careful and not

sound horses are no more profitable to
raise than scrubs. Unsoundnesses are
usually due to a weakness which may
appear in one or all of the following
conditions: First, is poor conforma-

mares. Second, is poor quality In
the tissues. While these are physi-
cal characteristics, the offspring will
inherit to a certain degree such weak
ness.
Of course these may not be in evil
dence in the offspring until they begin
to reach maturity and are put to or
binary work; then there begins to ap-
pear the result of this inherited weak
ness or ur soundness. It Is, Of course,
not the unsoundness itself which is
transmitted, but the cause in form of
a weakness.
Use, If possible, a stallion of pure
breeding, possessing good Individual
ity, quality, conformation, and which
shows no unsoundness.
Do not depend upon one of those
characteristics alone, but combine
them all, and remember that good
sound thoroughbred stallion is worth
breeding to.

LITTLE ROOM Is1THE
SADDEST PLACE IN LONDON


LONDON, June 9-(By Mail to
New York)-The saddest of all sac
places in London Is little room in
Cockspur street.
Within stones throw of the Gun
ard Steamship c6mpany's offices,
where not long pgo frantic, fear
stricken persons stood about hoping to
hear news of their loved ones on the
Lusitania, this little room depicts a
similar scene each day of the war. 1t
is the Casualties Inquiry department"
of the war office.
Here amid the quiet of small court
in Whitehall, mothers. fathers, broth
ers, sisters and relatives of the men
at the front crowd about each day
for news of the boys in Khaki, many
of them already lie in unknown graves
in France or Flanders.
The very atmosphere of the little
room seems to hold whisper Of
death. Sorrow and hopelessness are
written on the faces of those who en-
ter. Two rows Of chairs are placed
directly behind the door. In the cor
ner sits an official at desk. In the
chairs, always filled. there sit the
sweethearts to the Empire. Sometimes
gray haired man comes and sits
among the women. Occasionally
Younger men are seen amid the sor-
row stricken crowd but not so often.
In the countenances Of some there is
flicker of hope. But the hope is often
dashed to despair by the gruff, kind
ly man who sits at the desk in the
corner. Before him are the latest
casualty lists; lists that have not been
given to the press. As each inquirer
leaves chair behind the door he
runs his finger down the column OF
the twpewritten names. Often he
has no information. Sometimes he
speaks a word that brings joy to the
face in front of him but more often

The entertainment of the Aztec
people by the Durango Motor club
tomorrow promises to be an event

Of neighborliness and appreciation.
The visitors will come both by special

A young woman dressed in deepest
mourning approaches the desk. All
eyes follow her as her shaking hand
fills in form that lies on the off
ciaPs desk. She puts down the pen
and passes the paper to the Official.
A silence, broken only by the rus
tie of the paper, as she turns over the
lpages of the list, prevails in the room.
Having failed to find the name he

another department where probably

from one of the men in his sons com

prostrated with grief. The mother
has come to see for herself. But the
war office has no information. She
leaves the room with the same OK
preston on her face.
Day after day similar scenes are
enacted in the saddest room in Lon

And these scenes will continue all
