MOTORS VERSUS HoRsRs
Is STOCK SHOW THEME

At all of the fairs and stock shows
this fall there has been a noticeable
increase in interest in horses This
applies principally to the draft horses
but at the horse shows there has been
an increase in attendance of pleas
ure horses. While this applies prin-
cipally to the saddle horses, breeders
report better inquiry for harness
horses. All the breeders seem to re.
alize that their biggest competition
comes from the motors, but they
maintain that there is limit to the
use Of motors on the ranch and
farm. There are some places that
the motor cannot be used to advan-
tage. In the west the tractor Can
not harvest the corn crop and the
hay and there are many places where
a tractor cannot be used in plowine.
Even where tractors are used it has
been found necessary to have a team
or two to plow out the corners aud
places where the tractor cannot 10.
The tractor is also out of the running
when it comes to cultivating a crop.
Small farms find it does not pay to
purchase a tractor for the small
amount of farm work they have on
hand and as the small farms are rap
idly increasing, the demand for good
draft horses is also increasing.
This increased interest in horses
will be noticed at the Denver Stock
Show to be held during the week of
January II to "a. The Horse Fair
and Horse Show promise to have
larger entries than ever before and the
management of the show expects to
see fully as much interest in all kinds
OF horses as ever.

UNsHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test Of truth. And Doan ,.
Kidney Pills have stood the test in
Glenwood Springs. No Glenwood
Springs resident who suffers backache
or annoying urinary ills can remain
unconvinced by this twice-told testi
noay:
Newton Graham, prospector, 744
Mintur avenue, Glenwood Springs, says.
"About thirty years ago I strained
my back while lifting in a sawmill
From that time on, especially when I
would catch cold, I had attacks Of
pains across my back and through uy
loins. The kidney secretions were
awfully painful in passing and were
scanty. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved
me Of all those symptoms"
OVER SEVEN YEARS LATER, Mr..
Graham said: "I still praise Doan 's
Kidney Pills and gladly repeat my pre-.
vious staement recommending them.
When feel my kidneys becoming dis
ordered, I use Doan 3 and they always
do. good work." mt

after inscribing his protest In the mat

Lucy's. Isabel wrote from Asheville,
where she had just arrived with her

us until about 'clock in the evening

torpedoed by a German submarine.
"When the vessel was struck, was

until I perceived a lifeboat half full

down into the water and some way
managed to get into the boat. We were
two hours at sea, drifting on account
of the storm and wind, which made
rowing impossible. At the end of two
hours we were picked up by patrol

HELP NEEDED AT BALL PARK
Boys Want Volunteers to Assist in Put
ting Diamond in Shape

Everybody pitch in and help put the
Grangeville baseball park in shape for
games, is the idea of the local base
ball committee. Much work needs to be
done, in the way of leveling the
grounds and erecting a grahdstand, and
the committee, without adequate funds
to complete this work, expects to soon
issue an appeal for donations--not dona-
tions of money, but of labor-to put the
grounds in shape, so the Grangeville
ball club will have suitable place for
playing.
Much objection is heard against the
school grounds as a place for playing
ball. One of the chief objections is the
difficulty encountered in collections for
admissions from spectators of the games.
It is almost impossible to check up on
everyone who attends, though hat
checks are used to determine those from
whom the admission fee has been re-
ceived.

in shape. Scrapers, spades, shovels and
hammers, and men to operate. them will
be most welcome, the boys assert, and
they are soon to announce a day when
everyone interested in baseball will he
expected to pitch in and help the cause
along.
A grandstand is to be erected, it is
hoped, and the park needs fencing. The
boys believe they can count on a large
army of local volunteers fr a day s work
