EXPECTATION OF HORSES
MEANS A BETTER MARKET
Three Chicago Firms Now Exporting
500 Head Each Weekly-Demand
is for Heavy Drafters.

Horse exporting to France and Bel
gium has begun. Three firms are now
operating in Chicago and they expect
to export from that point alone 400
to 500 head weekly. st. Louis is ex-
pected to be in the trade soon, so farm
ers will soon have a top market for
good heavy draft horses.
The horse most sought for stands
1913 to II hands, with n depth of
chest equal to one-half his height. and
well proportioned throughout He
must be strong backed. powerful in
build. deep in the middle. well let down
feet and limbs. He must weigh over
100 pounds in ordinary flesh. Such a
horse will bring about $3.50 but in
dications are that there will be an in
crease in price before long.

notice that only good drafters are
wanted.-R. W. Clark. Colo. Agri. Col

Amending the Treaty.

The democratic press IS kicking
strenuously because the republicans
want to add few amendments to the
peace treaty, but have never q word
of objection for the democratic senat-
ors who try the same tactics. A demo-
cratic senator from Arkansas offered
an amendment making the whole world
dry as bone. Evidently he wants to
convince everyone that Siberian was
right about war. A Georgia senator
now comes forward with an amend
ment asking that God be put in the
treaty. He forgot who was writing the
treaty. Had Kaiser Bill had his way
and wrote the treaty he would pro-
badly have taken God into partner
ship, but Mr.. Wilson-not he. He is
sufficient in himself.
