The Horse Today

What is the future of the horse
| in America? Will it pay the
small farmer and breeder to raise
horses? How will the tractor
affect the big drafters? Will
there be demand for horses?
In the Country Gentleman Of
December 18th Stuart O.. Blythe
presents the answers to these
important questions. The war
from the American angle saw a
demand for almost every farm
product but the horse. Meat
producing animals we're in de-
lhand and it was profitable ITO
raisessali' classes of livestock 'ex-'
cept horses. AT a result, there
has been a severe falling off in
breeding. But the tide has turn
led. There is a strong demand
in the city and country today for
good big horses, 16.2, or over in
height, and weighing 100 pounds
or more. If they are sound nd
right, they bring $500, or above,
in Chicago MARKET, said Wayne
Dinsmore, secretary Of the
Percheron Breeders Association.
Chester G. Starr, farm advisor Of
Tazewell county, Illinois, be-
lieves the outlook in the pure
bred business is better today than
at any time in years.
Many of the big breeders are
retiring from business, however,
and Professor Edmonds, of the
University of Illinois, one of the,
ceuntry's leading hersemen, be-.
lieves that our future supply OF
big work horses will come from
the small farm. "a few to the
farm and on a good many farms
is his idea. This means that we
will follow the European prac-
tice, by which small farmers,
each owning from two to six
have developed the great
breeds Of drafters.
; Horsemen seem generally to
believe that the tractor has GOMEZ

Says Wood Is Kid-Glove Candidate

Congressman Charles G. Kearns, re-
publican, Of Ohio, evidently doesn't
think much Of tbs boom for Gen,
Leonard Wood for President, to judge
from an interview he gave out at
Washington Saturday. He said.
"a few men who wear swallow-taii
coats are for Major General Wood,
but the trouble with that sort of sup
port is that few men wear the swal-
low-tails, compared with the total
population. at would be suicide for
the Republican party to nominate
him. The voters of this country
don't desire soldier to be President.
The men who served in the world wal
have had enough of militarism and
they do not favor soldier candidate
If the Republicans nominate Major
General Wood they will give the
election to the Democrats"

Is Liqpor Stealing A Crime?

Is whiskey good, wares or
merchandise and thus a salable
product? is the question raised by
Prince Ellis and Dewie Conner in
an appeal to the court of appeals
from the Fayette Circuit Court,
where they were sentenced to
three years confinement for
breaking into warehouse and
taking whiskey out of it. If
whiskey is unstable, and there
fore thing of no value, the dry
spell is solved declare attorneys,
on the theory that it is not a
felony to steal what has no value.

There@is really nothing strange
about having a golf swing hold M
the mirror of a persons individuality
for IL is the personality of the golfer
in the first place which causes 3he
various kinds OF swings as much as
physical ca liabilities. The calm. or

Director l.. W. st. John, head OF the

are these: Two minutes before the

Cd a quarterback sneak from punt

On the second down he repeated the
play ami gained three yards more
when the whistle blew for the end
of the half.
''Ordinarily. any team will nnnt

but it was the policy OF Ohio State

VIXEN playing against a very strong

foolishncss for any team to punt
against strong head wind running
the chance Of punting out Of bounds,
a block kick or a run hack. which
would have nut Michigan In posi-
ton To drop kick cr score during
the last few seconds of play"
Criticism o. forward passing in
their own end OF the fold by Ohio
is answered as follows:
with the strong head wind
against them the first forward pass
was made from Ohio's 2S-yard line
on second down with eight yards To

Tense. The pass was supposed to
go 30 yards down the field and the
orly reason II was not successful
was because the man who was sup

In the second half against the
wind the quarterback on Ohio

BY W. III. EOEHER

The proposed amendment to the
rules OF light harness racing, under
which horses that have failed to re-
duce their winraces in two years viii
be restored to the slow classes. has
met with almost the unanimous sup
port OF all the associations that have
made reports on the subject. A few
owners. however. appear to be OF the
opinion that the restoration of out
classed horses TO the slow classes will
discourage what they call the little
fellows from bringing out green
horses.
In this respect they have over
looked the fact that the rating of

the quality of his racing material.

Shore lines suffered most Inconvenience.
These lines are dependent wholly upon
their ferries for the river trip. The Jer-
sey Central transferred passengers at
Elizabeth to Pennsylvania trains, and
this was one of the causes of congestion
at the Thlrty-thlrd street terminal. Bay
onne commuters used trolley cars to
reach Jersey City.
Trains Of the West Shore and the On
tario and Western railroads were
switched to the tracks of the Erie Rail-
road near Ridgefeld Park, and these
commuters augmented the mobs that
rushed Hudson tube trains at the Erie
