1t will be many years before the
horse is driven from our city streets,
although the rapid development of the
commercial motor vehicle indicates
that time may come some day. During
the first six months of 1916 about 75,-
.000 commercial ears were built, the
automobile experts tell US, and they
predict the total output for the year
will be more than 100000. Those fig
ures are impressive and mean the re-
tirement of many horses. But the
business vehicles are still mere drop in
the bucket compared with the pleasure
ears. They are still much more costly
as is to be expected from the harder
work they are generally called upon to
do. The average value figures about
I$2 900, as compared with $3.50 for the
touring car. But with we'll substantial
ed claims of economy and the very
Obvious advantage of greater cleanli
mess behind it, the big motor truck an(
its little brother, the light delivery au
tomobile, are bound to increase mucl
more rapidly than their equine-pro
lpelled predecessors.

An Historical Note.

1t might be jokingly remarked that
Villa temperance on the Mexican
stage as a trouble maker for the part
ners in the International Electoral Co.,
Wilson and Carranza, was coincident
with the withdrawal of the First Yer.
mont from the border. There is, on the
other hand, no Joke in the story OF
what happened when the First Vermont
was dumped off the train at Eagle Pass
last July.
The story was told by a good Ameri

The Windsor Journal points proudly
to the rapid growth which its home
community is making. The population
of the town was 2,407 in 1910, but it
is conservatively figured that this num-
Der has increased to $500 at the present
time. In 1910 only 501 persons in the
town lived outside of the village Prac-
tically all of the increase has been
within the village limits, and Windsor
expects at an early date to wrest from
Springfield the distinction of being the
largest village in Windsor county. The
great problem in Windsor is to provide
homes for the young men who are EN-
ployed at good wages in the machine
shops The payroll of Windsor s indus
tries amounts to $4,000 weekly.
