appreciation from the quartermaster

The "low down''Jon the army mule

We're more than as 900 Of him engaged
Z with the army overseas, and more than
10000 with the troops in the United
: States, and while there was as much
hee-hawing, kicking, baking. biting and
4 other mulish tricks as might be ex-
pected, the army mule lived up to his
established reputation for enduring,
sacrificing and dying ike a soldier.
They were not all American mules.
Seven thousand came from England
and> 5000 came from France and an
other II 900 came from Spain. H
There was no comparison = says

There We're times during the final
stages Of the world war when 1T was
necessary to keep mules on the move,
forty-eight, sixty and sometimes sew
enty-two hours, with hardly more
h than q pause. Them it was possible
only to feed n small amount of grain,
and a few handfuls of hay. Under
this strain the mule went forward, Civ
ing his all uncomplainingly. t5ts
The mule had always been given the
credit of having his full quota Of brains
but at times it seemed he had more
than his share. !, He may rum when
hitched tola wagon, but Invariably does
no harm to himself or the wagon. When
tired he makes his condition known by
quitting. However, this quality did
not come to the fore during the days

A good many farmers these days,
devoted to their horses. say gosh darn
mule anyway" on general principles,
but the army loves and admires him ,
for services rendered and would like to
see him get the distinguished service
medal. Perhaps his valor and con-
stancy in war time will recommend him
to softer sentiments in times ofs peace.
Mention was made in these columns
some weeks ago that member of thel
Denver city council had introduced an 4
ordinance forbidding horses inside the
