FlvE-cALK SHOE FOR HORSES
New Jersey Veterinarian Claims Extra
calks Add 100 Per Cent to Work.
Ing Value Of Animal.

A New Jersey veterinarian, in a re-
cent article Id the Journal of the Amer
lean Veterinary Association, advises a
shoe with five calks instead Of the Gus
tomary three. The two extra salks are
placed, one on the middle of each side
OF the shoe. 1t Is claimed that these
two extra calks prevent the undue side
strain on the foot which SO often
causes lameness with the three-calked
shoe. The New Jersey veterinarian
making the suggestion, claims that this
will add 100 per cent to the working
value Of horses, and he closes his m.
ticle with the following:
"Will someone give just one reason
why shoes having but three calks ever
should be used. OF will anyone offer
a single objection to the use of two
additional calks?"

RINGING HOGS IS EASY TASK
Rope Slipped Over Nose and Back OF
Large Teeth Will Prove Efficient
With Large Animals.
(By R. b. RUSHING,


I was called the other day to help
a neighbor ring some hogs that were
giving him some trouble roofing un-
der his fence and getting into his stuff
He had some hogs that were rather
heavy. and he considered that he had
a great big job to hold them and ring
them. He called me and another
neighbor to help hold them for him.
On arriving he had one tied by the
foot (hind foot) and was going to
down them and hold them, and then
put the rings into their nose. I asked
for another rope. 1 made a slip loop
in 1t, and slipped the loop over the
hogs nose back of the large teeth.

Under the Bliss plan local committees were

committees did the work OF collecting the $40

Bliss made up the biggest mailing list ever seen.

through these officials got the county chairmen
to draw up lists of possible contributors. When
the lists were turned in appeals were made direct
to those the lists. The result is that shortly

An essential feature of the every -member-can-

not one person but two do the visiting. Confront

ms told by writer in the New York Sun
Presidential campaigns cost great deal Of
money. The job Of getting this money they call
raising the wind. When the amount required Is
between s1,5OOOOO and 100000 one can see
that the office of treasurer of national commit
tee Is no sinecure.
It stated publicly the other day by Henry
Morgenthau. who as chairman Of the Democratic
finance committee, was sort of financial over
lord of this end OF the game for the Democrats
that the rreductble minimum of Democratic
needs this year had been placed at 81 800 600 -Four
years ago It $1.1OOOOO.
The Republicans did not make public their
own estimate of expenses. When the campaign
was In its Infancy they figured 1t out rs about
100000. Later the amount was raised to ST.
100000. And at still later gathering of Re
publicans to discuss this question certain gentle

Mr. Bliss that the high cost Of campaigns would
probably make 1t necessary this year to spend

The why 1t costs more now to run a
campaign is because everything Is higher. The
cost Of printing has tripled for one thing, cam
paign buttons cost twice rs much, railroad fares
are higher. And so 1t goes
When the Republicans looking around for
someone to raise the wind this year their eyes
fell upon young Mr.. Bliss. for good reason.
His father was the Republican treasurer In three
national campaigns After some hesitation Mr..
Bliss took the job. in which he has ever since
displayed the one quality considered a prerequl-
site to a successful Republican treasurer-mod-
esty.
Nobody but the campaign managers themselves
ever heard much Of Mr.. Bliss around national
headquarters. His Office floor below
the chairman's. People who got of there by mis-
take thought they had wandered into the offices
OF a big up-to-date mercantile corporation. There
were many clerks. many adding machines and
many typewriters.
II was from these Offices. where scarce a foot
fall was beard. that Treasurer Bliss rnked the
country for Republican money. not only In the
form Of large subscriptions when he could get
them, but also IN the form Of $40 subscriptions
to what he called his sustaining membership fund
The contributor TO this got nice little certificate
showing that he had been enrolled as sustain
fng member Of the G. o. P. This was. Mr.. Bliss
popular subscription plan.
The scheme Mr. Bliss brought out was de-
ve,op,nent of one tried successfully BY William
Barnes when he was head Of the state committee
This plan was to invite $40 subscriptions to
