HOW y HORSE SLEEPS
(Inland Farmer.)

All horses. when turned out in pas
ture, are more prone to take their
rest lying down than when confined
in stable stalls, hut even when prae-
ticallv free from human restraint and
observation. or any likelihood of dan
ger, they seldom take more than an
hour each night in the reeumbent
position, and that period is generally
INDUCED In al about midnight.
A noted veterinarian says: There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition of horses in the matter OF
lying down. To a hard-working
horse repose is almost as much OF a
necessity as good food and water. but
tired as he may be he is an animal
very shy about lying down. l have
known instances where stablemen de-
clared that the horses in their charge
had never been X own TO take rest III
that manner, but ALWAYS slept stand
ing. In some of these instances the
animals were constantly under human
watchfulness night and day, and IN
other cases the Conclusions were ar
rived at because 10 marks Of the bed

horse that stood in a stall near the
entrance Of a livery stable. No one
ever saw that animal lying down
within a period of fifteen years, and
he finally died standing
1t Is a theory--only n vague suppo-
sition--that a horse sleeps standing
because he fears that insects or mice
may creep up his nostrils. 1t is also
known that the elephant has the same
horror Of mice and that small rod
ent can cause more CONSERVATION

1t will be seen the general average
for the last five years is very much
higher than preceding records for the
last fifty years when meat gets too
high il tends to automatically reduce
consumption. AS production in this
and other countries increases, it will
tend to lower prices. Prices of beef
and all commodities tend to rise when
money is cheap and plentiful, as at
present, declining vice versa. Easy
conditions of financing prevent a elut
of the markets under forced sales.
Close money and high rates mean the
calling of loans and tend to declining
markets.
Safe and Conservative.
Under present favorable conditions
look to see considerably increased
production in the next few years
When the European war is over the
peoples OF those countries will be
greatly impoverished and forced to
economic, and there will probably
follow later a long period Of reduced
consumption abroad. II the prosper
ity of our country should hereafter be
depressed by these conditions, 1t
might mean reduced consumption
here at home, as was the case at the
outbreak of the war.
Cattle production in the South AM
erican countries, particularly the Ar
genuine Republic, has grown to large
proportions and will in the future
continue to be an element OF compe-
tition with us In the worlds markets.
These facts it seems to me indicate
| prices are considerably higher now
than they may be in The next few
years, hut the reimbursement VIII prob
ably be more or less gradual, so that
with prudence and good management
no undue losses need necessarily be
made in financing cattle, but serious
losses will doubtless be made some
where along the line by spectators
buying at too high prices
sincerely hope the members Of
your great association, individually
and collectively, will exert your great
influence in the direction of safe and
conservative methods, to the end that
good cattle paper will be universally
sought after as one of the most highs
desirable and standard forms of banh
investment, and with view to elim'
mating to the fullest extent all of the
other kind.

The financial condition of the local

fiattering tribute to the energy and

GERMANS SAY THAT
BOAT IS TRANSPORT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. THE
German government in a note made
public by the state department today
contends that the British steamer Arab
which was sunk in the Mediterranean,
November 9th, was a transport ship
in the service of the British govern
ment, which is to be considered as an
auxiliary ship of war, according to
international law, and therefore treat
ed as warship." The German gov
ernment, as in the Marina case, ex-
pressed readiness to make proper
amends if it be shown that the sub
marine commander violated any of the
pledges heretofore given to the Unit
ed States.

BARBER'S INVENTION MAY
PROVE VERY VALUABLE ONE

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. An ingen-
ious device for sounding an automo-
bile Burglar alarm has just been in
vented by an Atlanta barber, who has
suffered the experience Of many an
other motorist in having his car stolen.
The alarm consists of loud siren
whistle that begins to blow the mo-
ment the engine begins to run and
keeps on screeching at a terrible rate
the faster the engine runs. No auto
thief in the world could travel a block
with such siren "hollering bloody
murder and fail to attract attention.
The barber s siren is made of a
brass tube contested to the exhaust
pipe of the car and the tube is turned
on and off by key located in a secret
place When the owner drives the car
the siren is silent; but when stranger
cranks the engine, off she goes like a
fire chief onaa downtown run.

GREECE MAKES MINORS
PAY TO LEAVE COUNTRY

ATHENS, Dec. loving to the
great increase in emigration of min
ors to the United States, who have not
reached the age to perform their
military service, the Greek government
has increased the amount of deposit to
be made with the government by the
parents or guardians of any minor
male child who leave Greece. A youth
born in 1898 must deposit. or his
parents must deposit for him $120;
one born in 1899, $1OO; in 1900, $50;
1902, $40; and 1903, $50. Without this
deposit being made it is impossible for
any male Greek OF the age indicated
to secure ticket on fareign bound
vessel.

OFFICIAL COUNT FOR GEORGIA
IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Atlanta. Ga, Dec. THE Official
count on the presidential election in
Georgia has been compiled in the gov
ernor's Office and is herewith announc,
ed for the first time;
Wilson 125,831.
Hughes-Republican ticket, 1926.
Hughes-Progressive ticket, 20.653.
Socialists, 967.
Prohibitionists, O. The prohibition
party placed no ticket in the field.
The official count has several inter.
esting features. While the democratic
vote is larger than that of four years
argo, the republican vote in the state
was split in two, owing to the two fac
tions which have sprung up and the
two separate Hughes tickets in the
field. The Hughes-Republican ticket
represented the Jackson wing of the
Republicans in Georgia, that is, the old
line Republicans, while the Hughes
Progressive ticket represents the activ-
titles of the men who are working to
build up second white party in Geor-
gia.
The count, of course, gives Georgia
its usual solid democratic congression-
al delegation of twelve members.

FOLKS Of WESTERN
ASIA THREATEN To
COME TO AMERICA

WASHINGTON. Dec. Warning
against Threatened migration of the
population of Western Asia to the
United States is contained in the an
nral report of Commissioner General
Anthony Caminetti of the immigration
Service, made public today. The war
and conditions Immediately after its
close will stay the stream for time,
but steps to head it off, must be taken
before transportation interests begin
to Gull the field for their business, the
report declares.
immigration from the far Orient
too, is a problem still unsolved, the re-
port sets forth. The system hereto
fore devised to deal with it do not
promise much Improvement and ma
chinery for enforcement of the Chin
csc exclusion act is not adequate or
well adapted, Il says Arrangements
for the admission of Japanese, it is de-
clared, should be amended to fit condi-
tions better.
The Chinese exclusion law" says
the report, should be modified as to
make use of the same administrative
methods and means as are employed
in enforcing the general immigration
law; and the japanese arrangement
should be so changed as to eliminate
therefrom those exceptions that have
a tendency so to broaden as to reduce
materially the efficiency of the other
wise fairly satisfactory plan"
Hindu immigration. which would be
permitted more freely under a recent
taken care Of in the Burnett immigra-
tion bill pending in Congress.
Smuggling of Chinese, the report
says, has been combatted vigorously
with the result that amateur SNUG
Cling has been stamped out to a large
degree Higher prices that Chinese
are willing to pay therefore, it is said
has attracted to the business an ex-
rrt class of criminals who use more
scientific methods. A bigger appropri-
ation is asked to meet the problem.
The war situation, the report says,
has presented many difficult legal and
administrative questions at sea ports
and along the Canadian border
The report describes the develop
ment of its employment service and
outlines an extension of its policy of
cooperation with state and municipal
employment agencies.
