BETTER TYPE OF MULES

The results that can be obtained by
the use of the purebred sire of strong
individuality is generally acknowl'
edged. Some men, for one reason or
another, do not use purebred slres, but
of these, few do not admit the desira-
bility Of SO doing
In the rearing of horses in Tennes-
see the situation is different from that
surrounding other farm animals. The
American Standardized, the Thorough.
bred and the American Ssddler have
been perfected in this, and adjoining
states, and it is natural that these IA
vorites Of our own hands should al.
ways be given loyal support. 1t is not
that we think any the less of these,
that changes in our attitude towards
horse production are necessary.
Agricultural conditions have arisen
which create demand FOR q type OF
mare that will perform heavy farm
work and at the same time produce
high selling mules.
The largest so-called "hot-blooded"
mares are not numerous enough nor
can they be produced in sufficient num-
bers to meet the demand.
What, then is the easy solution to
shis problem? The results obtained
thru using carefully-selected stations
of draft breed on our own native
mares indicate beyond dispute that the
resulting mares when mated to good
jacks bring the good mule today.
Such stations must not be OF the
sluggish, overweight type, but must be
selected for that quality and action
that Is so essential to our present
stage of development.-C. D. Lowe,

FARMERS INCOME TAX

The United States Revenue Collec'
tors have sent out blanks that the
farmers are expected to fill, and then
appear before one of the deputy col
lectors for personal consultation. The
important thing to be done by those
who suspect that they may be subject
to this tax is to gather all the informa-
ton which they may be called upon
to furnish. For example, they should
make careful records of everything
sold from the farm, together with the
total sum received. Then they should
make similar reports of everything
bought which entered into the conduct
of the farm, as, for example, feed and
livestock of all kinds. The ordinary
family expenditures are not to be de-
Quoted from the gross income.
The man who has complete record
of all his business transactions will
be much better able to answer the
questions which will be asked of him
by the deputy collector; and, mas
much as the income tax law imposes
very severe penalty upon any indi'
vidual who should make return and
fails to do so, and upon any individual
who makes any false or fraudulent re-
turns, farmers should prepare to pro
tect themselves by being able to fur
nish promptly and satisfactorily any
information which may be demanded
| of them.

72-YEAR-OLD MAN
IN DURANGO VILE

]. D. Mearkle, claiming to be II
years old, was brought to Dresden
last Thursday by Constable Tom Ad-
ans and placed behind the bars on
charge of beating his board bill
with mine host, L. D. Dodds, at Sha-
ron.
Mearkle was arrested at Kenton
and turned over to Constable Ad-
ans, who brought the aged prisoner
to jail. Mearkle says he is from
Arkansas.
He hit Sharon several weeks ago,
representing himself to be a real es-
tate dealer. He succeeded in induc-
ing several leading citizens of the
community to list land with him, the
land owners spending nice sums of
money having abstracts of their
tracts made, which Mearkle required
them to do. Suddenly he disap-
peared, leaving Lloyd Dodds in the
lurch for two weeks board. AS soon
as Mr.. Dodds learned of Mr.. Near
Ne's whereabouts he swore out a
warrant for his arrest.

TAKEN FROM HORSE
ALMOST FROZEN

Mr.. John Cravins, residing in the
vicinity Of Gardner, was taken from
his horse in Dresden, at Johnson's
livery stable, on last Saturday at
ternoon all but frozen to death. Re-
storatives were administered and ne
was soon normal again.
Mr.. Cravins had ridden horseback
from Como to Dresden facing the
cold windmost of the way. The
weather was at or near the zero
point, but he did not fully realize
his condition until reaching town.
1t required the efforts of Mr.. john
son and a second party to get Cra-
wins from his horse and into the
house. He was perfectly rigid from
head to foot. He says the bucket Of
snow into which his feet were put
caused no chilly sensation to him,
so near the same temperature as the
snow was his feet and legs.
He was all right Sunday, except
being stiff and sore and with cold.

if the uuys dragged, and the great, lone land seemed to close in and press ineXorably upon her, she would have to be patient, very patient.
 Jake was held up, waiting for SUD- plies. Fort George suffered a sugar famine. Two days later the belated freight arrived. He loaded his wagon, a ton of goods for himself, a like weight of Hazers supplies and be- longings. A goOdly load, but he drove out of Fort George with four strap ping bays arehing their powerful necks, and chanping on the bit.
 -Four days ve will make it by der ranch" Jake chuckled. 'Mit der r0ule! und Gretchen, der COW, won week. 1t. take me, init half der loat-"
 Four altogether pleasant and satis-. flying days they were to Hazel. The worst of the fly pests were vanished, for the season. k crisp touch of frost sharpened the night winds. Indian summer hnng its mellow haze over tue land. The clean, pungent air that sift- ed through the forests seemed doubfy sweet after the vitiated atmosphere of town. Fresh from a gridirDn of dusty streets and stone pavements, and but stepped as one might say, from days of imprisonment in the narrow con fines of a railway coach, she drank the whey air in hungry gulps, and joyed in the soft yielding of the turf be meath her feet, the fern and peaviRe carpet of the forest floor.
 It was her pleasure at night to sleep. as she and Bill had slept, with her face barred to the stars. She would draw her bed Q little aside from the camp fire and from the low seclusion of a thicket lie watching the nimble flames at their merry dance, smiling lazily at the grotesque shadows cast by Jake and his frau as they moved about the blaze. And she would wake in the morning clear-headed. alert, grateful. for the pleasant woodland smells arising wholesomely from the fecund bosom of the earth
 Lauer pulled up before his own cab- in at mid-afternoon of the fourth day, unloaded his own stuff, and drove to his neighbours with the rest.
 "rH walk back after q little" Hazel told him, when he had piled her goods in one corner of the kitchen.
 The rattle of the wagon died away. She was alone-at home. Her eyes filled as she rOved restlessly from kitchen to living-room and on into the bedroom at the end. Bill had un- packed. The rugs were down, the books slowed in familiar disarray up- on their shelves the bedding spread in semi-disorder where he had last slept and gone away without troubling to smooth it out in housewifely fashion.
 She came back to the living-room

 She had expected to be lonely, very

neeood horses so bad, and didn't have the money to buy. So MT. Wagstaff | didn't say thing but got the team for us, and Jake's paying for them in clearing and blowing and making i'm provements on your land. Honest, they could pull twice the load we'll have. There's good wagon road most of the way now. Quite lot of settlers, too, as much as fifty or sixty miles out. And we've goE the finest garden you ever saw. Vegetables enough to feed four families all win fer. Oh, your old cities never want to live in one again. Never a day have the kiddies been sick. Suppose 1t is bit out of the world? You're all the more pleased when somebody does happen along. Folks is so different in ty for everybody-and everybody helps, like neighbors ought to-
 Lauer came up after time, and Hazel found herself unequivocally in their hands. With the matter of trans porting herself and supplies thus solved, she set out to find Felix Cour- voiseur-who would know how to get word to Bill. He might come back to the cabin in a month or so; he might not come back at all unless he heard from her. She was Smitten with great fear that he might give hey up as lost to him, and plunge deeper into the wilderness in some mood of Feck- lessnesS. And she wanted him, lOnged for him, if only so that she could make amends.
 She easily found Courvoiseur, tall spare Frenchman, past middle age. Yes, he could deliver message to Bill Wagstaff; that is, he could send q man. Bill Wagstaff was ill the Klap- pan range.
 But if he should have left therer' Hazel suggested uneasily.
 "'E weel leave weeth W'itey Lewees word of were e go," COurvoiseur reas- sured her. An my man, wich ees my bruzzer-law, wich can mos fully l trus', e weel follow 'eem. So Beere ees arrange. IF ees say mos partee- cular if madame ees come or weesh l queeck. Oui. Long tam Beel ees know me. I am for depend always"
 Courvoiseur kept a traders stock of goods in a weather-beaten old log house which sprawled hundred feet back from the street. Thirty years, he told her, he had kept that store in Fort George. She guessed that Bill had selected him because he was a fixture.
 She sat down at his counter and wrote her message. Just a few terse lines. Ana when she had delivered it to Courvoiseur she went back to the hotel. There was nothing now to do but wait. And with the message un- der way she found herself impatient to reach the cabin, to spend the wait ing days where she had first found happiness. She could set her house in order against her mans coming. And

win happiness.

VIII udppluGSS'
 But one thing stood out clear above hat painful meeting. She was done lighting against the blankness that seemed to surround her since Bill went away. Slowly but steadily it had been forced upon her that much which she deemed desirable, even nee essary, was of little weight in the bal ance with him. Day and night she longed for him, for his cheery voice, the whimsical good humOr of him, his kiss and his smile. Indubitably VeSta Lorimer was right to term her stiff necked, selfish fool. But if all folk were saturated with the essence of wisdom-well, there was but one thing to be done. Silly pride had to go by the board. If to face gayly land she dreaded were the price of easing his heartache-and her own-that price sne would pay, and pay with a grace but lately learned.
 She lay down on the lounge again. The old pains were back. And as she endured, sudden startling thought flashed across her mind. A pOssibil- ity?-yeS. She hurried to dress, won- dering why 1t had not before occurred to her, and, phoning up taxi, rolled downtown to the office of Doctor Hart. An hour or so later she returned. A picture of her man stood on the man. tel. She took it down and stared at 1t with tremulous smile.
 "Oh, Billy-boy, Billy-boy, wish you knew" she whispered. But I was coming, anyway, Billr'
 That evening, stirring about her preparations for the journey, she paused, and wondered why, for the first time since Bill left, she felt so utterly at peace.

very tired, and had gratefully come to welcome resting place. She turned her gaze out the open door where the forest fell away in vast undulations to range of snow-capped mountains purple in the autumn haze, and a verse that Bill had once quoted came back to her: |.
 Oh, to feel the wind grow strong {;
 Where the trail leaps down
 could never learn the way
 And wisdom of the town.
 She blinked. The town-it seemed to have grown remote, a fantasy in which she had played a puppet part But she was home again. If only the gladness of 1t endured strong enough to carry her through whatever black days might come to her there alone.
 She would gladly have cooked her supper in the kitchen fireplace, and laid down to sleep under her own roof. 1t seemed the natural thing to do. But she had not expected to find the cabin livably arranged, and she had prom ised the Lauers to spend the night | with them. Sopresently she closed the door and walked away through the woods.
 Meantime, with only dim con-' sciousness of the fact, she underwent a marvellous schooling in adaptation, self-restraint. She had work of a sort, tasks such as every housewife finds, self-imposed in her own home. She. was seldom lonely. She marveled ati that. 1t was unique in her experi-' ence. All her old dread of the pro-! found silence, the painless forests which infoIded like prison wall, dis, tances which seemed impossible of. span, had vanished. In its place had fallen over her an abiding sense of peace, of security. The lusty storm winds whistling about the cabin sang a restful lullaby. When the wolves. lifted their weird, melancholy plaint to the cold, star-jeweled skies, she lis- tened without the old shudder. These things, which were wont to oppress her, to send her imagination reeling along morbid ways, seemed but na- tural aspect of life, of which she her self was part.
 Often, sitting before her glowing fireplace, watching flame l1ndled with her own hands with wood she herself carried from the pile outside, she pondered this. It defied her pow CTS of self-analysis. She could only accept 1t as a fact, and be glad. Gran vile and all that Granville stood for had withdrawn to more or less re- mote background. She could look over the frost-spangled forests and feel that she lacked nothing-nothing save her mate. There was no impression of transient abiding; no chafing to be elsewhere, to do otherwise. It was home, she reflected; perhaps that was why.
 A simple routine served to fill her days,-She kept her house shining she
