said:
There was a disposition at first on

engaging in the breeding business in
opposition to the farmer Nothing
could be further from the truth. We
have no desire to antagonize the farm

ter Of fact we are laying the founda-

benefit to the farmers and horse breed

be distributed to the farmers free Of

Thank France! Thank Britain!

We Americans have thanked the
French very little, after all, for the
cannon they have furnished to our
troops on the western front. And
we have given the British virtually
no thanks whatsoever, Of eompe
tent public sort, for their enormous
service to US in providing us with
troopships. la certain recent
months more than one-haIf of our
soldiers sent abroad have sailed un-
der the British flag. Yet we are al
most dumb about it. We must
watch ourselves in these things.

We ought to have had ships of our

dtions are offensive to every sense of comfort and
sanitation. Our Red Cross commission sought to
remedy some Of the worst features of Russian
trench life. but modern war is one of unbelievable
horrors, not the least of which Is the insect pes
lence OF the trenches.
Every ten days a section of trench Is cleaned up
and Its occupants are stripped. sprayed with an

a bath and clean clothes. In singular contrast to

As the world knows the Battalion of Death was
organized by Madame Vera Butchkaref, who lived
in a small Cossack settlement In Siberia ut the
outbreak OF the war. When Madame Butchkareh's
husband killed in battle she formed the Legion
of Death, mainly to shame Russian men into ac-
ton, and partly to relieve the awful suspense and
monotony Of village life far from the scene Of
strife. Therefore in the original ranks Of women
warriors were to be found hardy peasants from the
vast agricultural region Of Siberia, and many such
women belong to the present regiments OF femi-

AN OIL BATH.
= MARY RAHANRQNNER

"My skin feels very queerly." said
Mr.. Elephant.
$50 does mine," said Mrs. Elephant.
And Miss Elephant agreed by saying,
.Mine feels every bit as queerly."
Now the keeper in the zoo had no.
dced that the elephants needed atten-
ton. "It's SO cold outdoors and the
heat inside the zoo Is bad for them.
Their skin might crack If didn't do
something for them," the keeper said
to himself.
And soon he was ready to flx them.
"You1l have oil baths," he said, as he
came to them with the oil he had
ready.
"This will keep your skin from
cracking" he said to Mr.. Elephant,
who was the first one he visited"
"Yes." he continued, ain this steam
heated elephant house your skin would
crack and hurt If didn't see that you
were given an oil bath once lii a while"
And he talked the sama way as he
visited Mrs. Elephant, Miss Elephant
and several Of the Elephant cousins.
After the Oiling was over they had n
fine luncheon Of water and hay. They
thought 1t was very delicious. And
the keeper regulated the steam heat
SO 1t would not get too hot for them.
"Tell me. Mr.. Elephant" said Miss
Elephant. who was still very young.
''why were we given Oil baths? And I
cannot understand why the keeper
does not let our house get too hot
when mother has told me she loves the
summer heat and feels so happy and
well all summer"

Elephant, ito keep our skin from crack

cracked, and it would be uncomfort-
able and painful. Didn't you hear the
keeper say he was oiling us SO our skin

"Yes." said Miss Elephant. "I heard
that. am afraid I am not very clear
in my questions. What really meant
to ask was why we are oiled in the
zoo and why 1t Is SO necessary when

"Ah," said Mr.. Elephant, at shows,
Miss Elephant that you were born in
the zoo. To be sure we oil ourselves
in our real homes. We go in the
ponds where there Is oil and we hnd

to keep our skin in fine condition. We
always do when we are away.
Here we have to depend on the
keeper. We can't find the oil our
selves. We don't know where he keeps

out Of these big cages and yards. But
the keeper does look after us well, he
certainly does.
"And here In the ZOO we need the
oil most especially because the heat is
different from summer heat. 1t is
steam, or forced heat, and our skin
is more apt to crack in this kind Of
heat"
"Oh," said Miss Elephant. "now
understand. So mother really does
love the heat, but it's the real, outdoor
heat she loves best"
you're right. dear child elephant"
said Mrs. Elephant. And you'll love
It too, for you'll be an elephant child

"And what Is more" continued Mr..
Elephant, "the keeper Is doubly wise
in giving rs oil baths.
1--WE love to take real water baths
all summer long, but when it's winter
we don't care to take baths at all.
So he feels more than ever we must
be bathed, even If 1t Is only in oil"
And after Mr.. Elephant had told Of
the wOndrous days in the marshes and
forests where they could oil them
selves and look after themselves 80
well, Mrs. Elephant told Miss Elephant
Of the wonderful summer months
which were coming before, very long.

But 1t really didn't make 80 much

awhile she decided 1t was better than
