 The three-day vacation recess agree and, while the Senates arrangement runs until August 26l leaders hope to set it aside tomorrow and get down to work Thursday on the man power bill extend- ing the draft age limits to IS and 45 years.
 Death of Minority Leader Gallinger .s expected to curtal the Senates session tomorrow, with plans to adjourn out of respect to the veteran republican mem Der and to have a congressional commit tee attend the funeral. If a quorum of the Senate attends tomorrow, matter of some doubt tonight, Chairman Cham berlain of the military committee is ex- pected to renew his request for an an- nulment of the vacation agreement and ask the Senate to begin consideration Thursday of the man power measure.
 Delay in setting aside the vacation agreement would postpone action on the man power legislation until the following Monday at least.
 MAN POWER MEASURE
 With the national war prohibition meas ure having the right-of-way in the Sen. ate at that time under an agreement previously made, the man power meas ure could be considered Snly during the early part of each day unless, as is not improbable. prohibition advocates should consent to temporarily sfdetrack their measure until the man power bill Is passed Chairman Chamberlain Is hopeful that despite uncertainties of the situation the bill may be passed late this week or early next week.
 COMMITTEE CONSIDERS ACT
 The man power measure will be taken up tomorrow by the House military com mittee, with Secretary Baker, General March, chief of staff and Provost Mar shal General Crowder scheduled to ap pear. The prospects are that the bill will be passed by the Senate before the House is called upon to act. Chairman bent has announced that the hearings at which the war department chiefs will give their views will be open to the public.
 The war revenue bill, revised upward near the <, ,Oo0 000,0 900 goal of the treaS- ury department, is scheduled for comple- ton this week by the House ways and means committee. Leaders hope to have the House begin work on the measure not later than Monday, August S. In the meantime, the water power development bill has the right-of-way in the House. with it's passage before being displaced by the revenue bill regarded as doubt full.

BREED BETTER HORSES,
SPECIALISTS ADVISE

According to reports received by
the United States Department OF Agri-
culture. the situation in the horse
breeding industry reveals the fact that
there are many nondescript and plug
horses Cutting the markets. This
condition. it is believed, affects the
horse industry in general The real
good animals are still commanding
satisfactory prices, but the insists are
being sold for considerably less than
the cost of production. The saving
OF additional feed bills Is said to be
the motive which prompts the pro-
Queer to dispose OF this class OF
horses. regardless OF price. One OF
the conclusions which the Department
Of Agriculture draws from the pres
ent situation is that indiscrimnate
breeding Of horses is an Improbable
enterprise. 1t is essential, the depart
ment specialists add, that farmers use
wise discrimination in selecting the
proper type OF stations with which
to mate their best mares and thus ma
terially aid in producing only efficient
horses which are capable OF giving the
service required OF them and which
consume less valuable feed for the
amount OF work performed Such
horses have a ready market and al
ways bring good prices. 1t is irnper
alive that the breeder who proposes
TO compete with the domestic and for
eign demands after the war should
begin now to stock up his stables with
desirable better-bred horses.

ADVANTAGE OF
MOTOR TRUCKS SHOWN
IN FARMING REPORTS

Motor truck hauls in 1918 from

miles, while wagon hauls average Q
miles; and a motor truck made 81
round trips per day over its longer
route OF ll.3 miles. while wagons
made ! , round trips per day over the
9-mile distance
The estimated cost for hauling in
wagons from farm to shipping point
average in 1918 about 80 cents ton
mile for wheat. 80 cents for corn.
and AZ cents for cotton: for hauling
in motor trucks or by tractors the ay-
erages are Is cents for wheat or corn
and Is cents ton-mile for cotton.
These figures are based on reports
made by correspondents of the Blu
reau OF Crop Estimates OF the United
Department OF Agriculture.
Motor Cost Declines
A similar inquiry in 1906 showed
an average Tor wagons of 10 cents per
ton-mile for hauling wheat and p
cents for cotton. In 1918 wagon costs
were naturally higher. since prices
and wages have increased. but motor
truck costs were much lower in 1918
than even the wagon costs of 1900
due to greater efficiency of the motor

THE TRIANGLE SECRETARY

Up to the front-iine trenches,
Where the brunt OF the fighting falls
And back to the last cantonment
When the summoning bugle calls
Wherever there's need Of brother
To carry the fighting tune,
In the war OF men and angels
60 the men OF the Great Triune.
10 war with the darlling powers,
Courageous and clean they so.
They carry no arms in the battle
But the things that count they know.
They know when a word is in season,
When friendly hand is'a boon;
To serve and be glad in the serving
Is the creed Of the Great Triune.
On the sands of the blazing desert,
On the pass of relentless SHOWS,
Wherever in quest of freedom
The trail of humanity goes
There's never post too lonely,
There's never a time too soon
Nor ever task too daunting
For the heart of the Great Triune.
In the name of the Master OF Manhood,
Who taught that man is divine,
Spirit and mind and body,
They hold the supporting line.
Till the world that sits in darkness
Shall walk in the light OF noon,
They will wear the triple chevrons
Defending their faith triune.
Faith in their far off vision,
The truth OF the mystic plan,
Where love and reason and valor
Meet in the perfect man.
On the road OF the marching sorrows,
Through the wake OF a waning moon,
Come up with the suns of morning
The men OF the Great Triune.
