DRAFT HORSE INDUSTRY SAFE.
Demand For Heavy Horses Will Re-
main Even After War.

main Even After War.
"Our own future demand for work
horses, the export demand If the war
continues the demand in Europe when
the war is over and the scarcity OF
horses of workable age in this country
at present, are conditions which neces-
sarily will afford demand In the
future for draft horse for years to
come" declares the head Of the an
imal husbandry department at Iowa
State College. speaking Of the future
Of the draft horse industry IN this
country.
AS to the present conditions, he says
that nearly million horses have been
exported to the war in the past two
years. While. this is about LEO OF the
number in the country and while
part of them were undesirable for
work purposes, yet many of them were
good. serviceable horses, 4 to 10 years
old. Weighing 1850 to 1900 pounds.
American breeders are not producing
enough colts to. fill the demand he
says. There is just as big demand
for heavy draft horses as there ever
has BEEN ...
AS to the future of the industry -
every work horse taken to the war has
left hole to fill. Then too. when the
war ceases Europe will demand
horses. "Our farmers need to breed
for larger horses. They should use
only large. sound stations.
1T would seem that the draft horse
business in this country will be good
for years to come" he concludes.

WIRELESS TO DETECT U-BOATS

To assist naval airmen in detecting
the presence. and then determining
the position of enemy submarines. a
delicate instrument of considerable
ingenuity has been produced. An ade-
quate conception of its character is
afforded without necessarily discuss
ing its technical details. which for
obvious reasons are withheld. Rough
ly. it consists Of compact buoy
that carries a receiver which con-
verts the sound-waves from a SUBJ
marines propeller into electrical en-
ergy. When thrown overheard by an
airman. 1t floats on the surface of
the water. Upon the approach Of
a submarine within a certain radius
OF 1t, the antenna attached to the
buoy sends out wireless signals which
are in turn picked up by receiving
instruments installed in the aircraft.
The presence Of a boat within this
area is thus announced. Its general
position in relation to the buoy, as
well as its movements. are indicated
by the intensity Of the signals.

TWO MANUFACTURERS
HELD Price FIXERS
Unfair Practices Alleged by Federal
Trade Body.

The Federal Trade Commission
yesterday issued formal complaint
against two manufacturers of two diff
ferent kinds of so-called standard
price" articles. charging price dis
elimination and unfair methods of
competition in refusing to sell jobbers
and dealers who do not adhere to re-
sale prices set by the manufacturers.
The first complaint is against the
Mishawaka Woolen Manufacturing
Company. of Indiana. The second is
against the Cudahy Packing Com
pany OF Chicago. in connection with
the manufacture and sale OF "Old
Dutch Cleanser"
In the Mishawaka Company COM
plaint it is alleged the respondent,
as a means of procuring the trade OF
dealers and of enlisting their active
cooperation In the sale of its goods
for the purpose of eliminating compe-
tition in price among dealers in Its
goods and thereby depriving dealers
of their right to sell such goods at
such prices as they may deem ade.
quate. has adopted and maintains a
system OF fixing a schedule Of stand
ard prices" at which its goods must
be sold.
The Cudahy Company Is charged
with discriminating in prices charged
different customers for its old Dutch
Cleanser" To jobbers who maintain
the Cudahy Company's scheduled re-
sale price "Old Dutch Cleanser" is
sold less than to those who refuse
to maintain that resale price.
In both instances the respondents
are given thirty days to reply to the
charges.
