The Horse Still Here.

Though the sound of the auto is
heard throughout the land and the
scent Of gasoline is waited over
mountains, plains, ordinary fields and
city streets, and, though Americans
are talking and thinking in terms of
the automobile, the horse somehow
seems TO hold his footing. At the
last convention of the Carriage Build
ers' National association it was said
that there is little decline in the
building of buggies and wagons. The
same thing was said at the convention
of the carriage builders last year.
It is strong testimony of the spread
ing prosperity and increasing wealth
and comfort of the population of the
country that Notwithstanding the al
most magical increase in number of
motor driven private vehicles the eX-
tension of electric traction lines and
the drain made by Europe's purchases
of horses, the horse not only holds
his own. but continues to multiply.
The reasons, of course, are found
in the extension of the delivery prac-
tice among American merchants in
the country as well as in the city,
and the increasing number of small
farmers who find the horse service
able in their business. Perhap an
other reason may be that large
class of people who find the automo-
bile useful in numerous ways still
cherish the faithful horse and give
him employment in driving and rid
ing for sport and pleasure. USING
their machines for speed and distance.
The facts seem to be that though tie
doom of the horse was sounded sew
eral years ago and is still being
sounded, the horse is still among US.
