horses of the same breed, char
acter and quality.

Reader, are you a successful bust
ness farmer? And did the draft colt
you raised last season add a substan-
tial draft to your bank account, or
merely make a heavy draft on your
feed bin?
Well developed, sound, high grade
draft horses are needed on every farm
and are in demand at remunerative
prices for work in the woods and in
the cities. The supply of such horses
has never equaled the demand and
the demand promises to be more active
than ever at the end of the war. Mis-
fit, mongrel and nondescript horses,

the necessary conditions for the
breeding and raising of fine
horses. The 1921 grade and
scrub sires now in use prevent
proper progress.

Then the neighbor turned away and

please, of course; but I'm going to
breed to my own grade horse"
Jim's mare in due time produced a

THE THRIcE-A-WEEK EDITION OF

Practically a Daily at the Price

paper in the world gives so
much at so low a price.

The value and need of a newspaper in the
household was never greater than at the present
time. The great war in Europe is now half way
into its third year, and, whether peace be at
hand or yet be far off, it and the events to fol-
low it are sure to be of absorbing interest for
many a month to come.
These are world shaking affairs, in which the
United States willing or unwilling, is compell-
ed to take part. No intelligent person can ig-
more such issues.
THE THRICE-A-WEEK WORLDS regular
subscription price is only S1.O0 per year, and
this pays for 156 papers. We offer this UNI
equalled newspaper and The Iowa County
Democrat together for one year for $500.
