Chicago, Dec 5.-The United States
must furnish a million horses for Eu'
ropean countries during the next five
years, in the opinion Of an officer Of
the British Remount service at the
International livestock exposition here
today.
The statement was based on the be-
lief that the allies will have to main
tain armies in Russia and Germany
for some years to come and that these
armies will need great number Of
horses. Belgium and France, he said,
are virtually stripped If their stocks
and even England will not have suf'
ficient number of horses for her in
creased acreage. Consequently, he
added, the increasd dmand for hors-
es and how stock raisers can meet
this demand, is one of the most vital
questions before American livestock

today that climatic conditions this
year have played an important part
in meat production, with odds greatly
in favor Of the 'cornbelt' states. The
drought greatly affected the west
and south, they said.
Illinois, Iowa. Wisconsin, Ohio Min
nesota and Nebraska must redouble
efforts of the past to increase food
production. Beef and pork are com.
modities greatly in demand and just
how the output can be increased to
meet export demands will be up for

cases the response was immediate,
buiness showing a big jump within a
day or two after Nov. H. This re-

the weather. classes.
Reports gathered from the federal
reserve board also show activity
among wholesale houses to meet the

business, however, is somewhat re-

Building operations have taken a
sudden start after the long enforced
period Of slugishness during the war,
and building materials are now begin
to flow away from former war enter

be holding back. however. Municipal

thoughts to building roads and bridg-

Letter From Haiti.

Northern Wisconsin's loyal
sons are found wherever Uncle
Sam has planted the Stars and
Stripes to bring order out of
chaos and protection to the
weak. Whenever there has been
a call for men for service at home
or overseas this commonwealth
has responded with the flower Of
its manhood and it is indeed
gratifying to those at home to
know that their kin are front
rank men in Uncle Sans big
work. Below is published a let
ter from Veryl Stebbeds, son of
Elder F. Stebbeds of Clearwater
Lake, who is sta toned at Haiti,

country for wanting their services

Intolerance.

The truth is, the notion that an in
tellectual recognition of certain dog
mas is the essential condition of saliva
ton lies at the bottom of all intoler-
ance in matters of religion. Under this
impression, men are too apt to forget
that the great end of Christianity is
love, and that charity is it's GROWING
virtue; they overlook the beautiful sig
nificance of the parable of the hereto
Samaritan and the orthodox Pharisee
and thus, by suffering theiraspeculative
opinions of the next world to make
them uncharitable and cruel in this,
they are really the worse for them,
even admitting them to be true.-Whit-

Indian Summer.

The term INDIAN summer" is ap-
piled to a period of mild, open weather
that comes in the fall, embracing the
most of October and sometimes ex-
tending into. November, and character
lied by sort of dry mist or haziness
that differentiates it from other sea-
sons of the year. What causes the dis
tinctive features of the season, eSpe-
cially the hazy atmosphere, is I'M
known, and the origin of the term
equally so. Different explanations
have been given of both, but they seem
to be largely fanciful.
