HORSE A FRIEND OF MAN
Ask Yourself the Question. How
Have You Dealt With Faithful
Animal Grown Oid2

You may have had favorite horse

and the folks may have advised sell
ing or turning it out to die. maybe,
Erasmus Wilson writes in the Pitts
burgh GaZette-Times. Could you, or
did you give consent to thus disposing
OF your old friend?
How would you like TO meet such
an old friend on the avenue geared In
heavy. cumbcrous harness TO rickety
coalcart loaded to the limit Of his
strength to move and to hear the
coarse commands of the unfeeling
driver and the cruel cuts of the whip
when he was stralning his stiffened
joints and weakened muscles until he
Seemed ready to totter and fall?
But then you might not recognize
him on account OF the prominence Of
his bones, the roughness of his coat
and his slavish and heartbroken ap-
pearance. We can hardly recognize in
u weary, shambllng, ill-kept brute the
once sleek, sprightly. prancing steed
that was our pet and pride
Maybe 1t is well that we do not
know them when we see them in their
sadly changed conditions.
Ask the veteran cavalryman about
his favorite horse and he'll tell you
things that will bring a lump into your
throat. Many time and oft, perhaps,
they endured storms and braved dan
gers on picket posts, faced death in
mad and turbulent rivers. occupied a
common bed on the ground, foraged
for food to stay their hunger and
shared the last handful Of parched
corn or piece of hardtack.
And he VIII tell Of the times his
trusty steed saved him from capture

U. S. INVESTIGATES PLAN
FINANCING OF HIGHWAYS

Washington, Nov. S.-Financing of
highway improvements has been thor
oily investigated by experts of the
department of agriculture's division
of road economics who recommend
o people of counties and municipali-
ties intending to raise funds the ad-
yantages of the deferred serial plan
over the ordinary sinking-fund plan
Under the serial plan. certain
amount of bonds so retired cease to
be an interest charge on the commu-
nifty Under the sinklng-fund plan
none of the bonds is retirable until
the end of a definite period. and the
entire sum raised bears interest for
the entire life of the bond
The departments experts say uu-
der the ordinary sinking-fund plan
communities pay interest on the
money borrowed and in addition set
aside each year as a sinking fund an
amount sufficient to retire all the
bonds when they become due. The
sinking-fund is deposited with banks
and earns some interest. The inter
est ordinarily is only three per cent
whereas tne communities pay five or
six per cent % its bondholders. The
serial plan is much cheaper, even
tho the sinking fund earns interest as
high as four per cent. and in the opin-
ion of the road specialists should be
utilized whenever il is possible to
market serial bonds.
a report on the subject has just
been published by the department of
'rriculture which is distributing il to

Fruit trees and other hardy trees
are better planted In the fall than In

proposed change as the difference is
easily worth the additional sum.
It was proposed by Chas. Foster,
engineer of the Chas. Pillsbury Co., of
St. Paul that the Heating Company
secure the services of an inspector
from his company to see that the plant
is installed according to the plans as
he had drawn them up. This expert
would be supplied at the rate of $125
per month. The company decided to
avail themselves of the services of such
an Inspector.
Following the joint meeting the City
council held short meeting. 1t was
decided to purchase motor truck
for the superintendent of the electric
light and water works station. A sec
ond hand Ford truck that Mr.. Retz-
laff has on hand will be given a thoro
trial and if found satisfactory will be
purchased at $3.50. Chas Leonhardt

bridge at cost of SIS. The matter
of a city engineer was discussed and
will be acted upon in the near future.

THE CHILD LABOR BILL,

Congress last week passed the
child labor bill by a vote of fifty
two to twelve and thereby ended
a fight that has been waged to
prevent the passage of this
worthy measure for some years.
A child labor bill of one form or
another has been discussed on
many occasions in Congress and
the present measure aims to pro-
tect the children by invoking the
Interstate Commerce Act for it's
enforcement. Many states of the
Union already have regulations Of
their own which in many respects
are more stringent than the meas
ure just passed, and the bill is
aimed principally at the cotton
mills of the South that have been
exploiting the labor of children of
tender years. The country will
rejoice that this measure has
passed and Congress is to be con-
graduated on its progressive spirit
in enacting a bill of this kind.

their attorney Mr.. Geo. Gillespie
of New York had several CONVEX
sations with Mr.. Polk, counsellor
of the State Department, advising
him of the expected trip OF the
ENJOYS and gave him short biog-
raphy of each man too in order
that there might be no misunder-
standing and everything seemed
satisfactory to all concerned.
Events have since proven that
this assumption was not correct,
however, and these worthy gen.
tlemen have been forced to return
to America without accomplish
ing their mission. Mr.. Kelly in a
statement issued to the Irish
Press has declared that "the re-
fusal to permit the ENJOYS to
land in England and to compel
their retention on shipboard was
a prearranged matter and the
treatment accorded us merely an
expression of British official con-
tempt for our nationality and of
antagonism to our mission of
mercy" The whole scheme was
done merely to cast a slur upon
the character of the men who TN
dertook this mission, and is but
another blot on the already
bloody escutchcon of the British
Empire, another example OF Eng
lish contempt for all things per-
tanning to Ireland.

visited the San Lazaro Hospital, the

Stevenson had written of the unfortu-

informed us, however, that we would
run no risk in visiting the place, so
long as we kept at some little distance

assurance we sought admission. A

THE SMALLER NATION
FICTION,

The hypocrisy of the smaller
nation fiction, at least so far as
England is concerned, was made
manifest by her ruthless treat
ment of men who sought only to
aid small nation to her rightful
place among the countries of the
world.
The martyrdom OF centuries
has vindicated the right of Ire
land to separate national life
and history. Unconquered today
as she was through the centuries,
protesting always and sealing her
protest in every age by the blood
of her sons, Ireland stands before
the bar of nations demanding her
freedom, claiming the inalien-
able rights of life, liberty and the
