HORSES THAT GO FISHING
Strange Breed Of Half-WiId Horses In
North Carolina Catch Fish
at Low Tide.

Along Albemarle sonnd. on the North
of low, sandy shore, where nothing
grows except coarse grass, few
saltwater weeds and wild parsley, says
an exchange. On these banks lives a
strange breed of halfwild horses,
known as banker ponies" These crea-
lures are generally about twice the
size of Shetland penies.
Every year the herd owners drive
the bankers" into pens, brand the
foals with the proper mark, and catch
some of the older animals to sell to
the dealers. North Carolinians say
that the beasts must be starved into
eating grain, hay or grass, for they
have always lived on the rank marsh
grass Of the marshes and on fish.
They catch the fish themselves at
low tide; with their hoofs they dig
deep holes I'm the sand below high wa
ter mark; when the tide falls they
greedily devour the fish that are strand.
ed In these holes. Often they fight
briskly over an especially tempting
mOrsel
In captivity these strange horses are
intelligent, but seldom are even in tenn
per. Once famed, they make excellent
draft animals, for they have strength
that Is diSproporti0nate to their size.
Foals that are bred from "bankers" in
captivity make valuable animals
strong, healthy, intelligent and far less
vicious than their parents.

insisting upon one-piece frocks and top

there has rarely been such demand
for fur coats, furrlers are delighted.

when velvet, brocade and bullion lace

An Aqed Puppy,

The old farmer had been hailed be-
fore the magistrate to show cause why
he hadn't taken out license for Il

"Whoy, he's nObbut puppy" he
exclaimed in defense.

clerk. But how old Is hep"

reply IL never was much good at
dates, hut he's nobbut n puppy"
On the other hand, evidence proved
that the dog was long past puppyhood,
and the bench inflicted the usual fine.
Talking it over afterward, the farm
er exclaimed:

THE L. ". W. AND THE FARMER

The management of the Nonpartisan league Of North
Dakota is entering, or trying to enter. into an alliance
with the I. W.. W. with reference to farm wages for this
season. The 1. w. W.. is the organization whose paper,
the Industrial Worker, maintains that on the present
basis of prices for farm products the farm laborer ought
to be getting s11.46 per day. . The I. w. w. would be a
cheerful sort Of a partner for the North Dakota farmer.
wouldn't IT.? -,
It may be suggested that the price suggested by the
Industrial Worker is merely given as the theoretically
correct one. without any expectation that it is to be OBJ
tanned or insisted on. Let there be no mistake on this
score. Tho i. w. w. organization has as one OF its main
tenets the doctrine that the laborer is entitled to al that
he creates. That 10 sound doctrine. Every man 10 en-
titled to all that he creates. But a further tenet Of this
he turns his hand to. which is a different matter.
This society denies to the manufacturer the right to
any return on his investment In his plant, to any compen-
sation for the risk to which he is exposed in doing bus
iness, and to any compensation for the use Of his own
skill, enterprise and business Judgment. 1t denies to the
farmer the right to any return on his Investment in land.
stock and machinery, to the allowance of any margin for
the risk of hail. drouth, flood. rust, blight and a score of
other things against which provision must be made. It's
leaders have insisted, and do insist. and proclaim from a
thousand soap boxes. that the manual laborer should in
all cases get all he can by any means available. and then,
when opportunity offers. he should get more. Other peo-
pie have no rights which he is bound to respect.
This s~the outfit with which Mr.. Townley and his
are trying to yoke up the North Dakota farmer.
