BUYS RANGE HORSES
FOR CHICKEN FEED

An Ogden man is in Austin buyjnp
horses which are to be killed for
chicken feed. He is paying standard
price of five dollars a head. all the
horses, big or little, old, young, wild
or tame, sound or crippled, that are
brought to the shipping corrals, says
the Reveille.
As there are a great many useless
horses on the ranges in this section
he was not long in bargaining for a
large number, and several round-ups
are already in progress.
AS soon as sufficient horses to
make up train load are gathered
they will be shipped to chicken feed
plant near Petaluma, California, and
there slaughtered and ground into feed
for chickens.
According to Mr.. Erwin, the plant
is very complete, and has capacity
for killing and grinding $50 horses a
day. No part of the animal is allowed
to waste. The hides go to the tan
neries and become gloves, boots and
shoes. The names and tails are care
fully pulled. woven into a fabric and
lind their way back to US as lining
or stiffening for mems coats. The
hoofs go to make glue. The flesh,
bones, blood. entrais and all are
ground into paste and sold to feed
chickens, for which there is a good
market all the time.
1t is estimated that, including the
wild mustangs in the lone valley, and
the adjacent hills. there are about
two thousand useless horses, eating
feed which could be used for greater
profit by cattle and sheep and this
fact has tendency to mitigate the
sentimental feeling about horses

MAY INTRODUCE
BONUS BILL

In line with similar action being
taken by other states. bill may be
presented at the next session of the
Nevada legislature to grant to each
ex-service man in the state a bonus
of $3.50, says the Tonopah Times. 1t
is believed that such a measure
would meet with the hearty appro-
baton of every resident of Nevada
who will feel that such a sum being
paid the men who helped win the
late war will. in small way, be-
speak the gratitude the citizens feel
towards them.

TO FIGHT GAS RATES

The Hope Chamber of Commerce has
asked all towns in Arkansas affected
by the proposed increase in gas rates.
announced by the Arkansas Natural
Gas Company, to join i'll vigorous
protest against the increase and ask
for hearing before the corporation
commission.
1t is declared that the proposed
rate. in most instances, makes gas as
fuel in indus rial plants prohibit
tive and necesSitates change in
equipment for many power units. The
proposed rates are equal to an so per
cent increase to large consumers and
its sanction by the commission will
throttle many southwest Arkansas in
dustries. The granting of this rate
means that the water. light and gas
rates in Hope will be greatly increased.
The new rate means an additional fuel
expense approximately $500 month
for the operation of the water and
light plant at Hope.
This additional operating expense
makes it necessary for city officials to
raise the water and light rates.

Gold Plays Leading Part in
Ohio Leap Year Event and
Heir Is Bridegroom.

CANTON, o., Jan. 27.-One girl
dreamed of a home with love.
The second girl dreamed Of a home,
but didn't underline the love part of It.
The man had to nave a wife by Feb
1 to inherit $4,000, left by his mothers

The result was a whirlwind leap year
courtship, which began when William
Hoffman, 81, a railway repair shop
plumber, advertised for q wife and ended
when he married Miss Ida e. Hinton,
%. a waitress, after Miss May Gertrude
Dean, 10, a rubber factory worker, gave
him the cold shoulder because he talked
money and not love.
The misunderstanding adventure In

and speedy ceremonies.

received ten letters from Canton lassies.

TEACHERS PUT
BAN ON JAZZ
Dance, Don't Wrestle, Latest
Warning of Professors.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Old-fashioned,
keep-your-distance dances, are to dis
place the modern jazz steps, if the ma
tion-wide reform movement undertaken
by the American National Association
of Masters Of Dancing proves success
full.
The dancing masters, it is announced
here, count on the support of mothers,
fathers, daughters, sons, teachers and
hostesses-and if necessary, the police
department-to exterminate the half
Nelson body hold Skinny lock-
and other imported ballroom grips, which
are practiced by some dancers.
Cheap and vulgar music is also to
come under the ban and, according to
a circular Just issued by the association,
those in charge Of community or public
dances are urged to show their opposi-
ton to undesirable dances by distribut-
ing You will please leave the hall cards
TO those who persist in offending.
WOMEN TO BLAME
IN MANY CASES.
The women. it is charged, are often
as much to blame as their partners and,
in some cases, dance hall proprietors are
advised to pick out ten or a dozen OBJ
jectionable couples, and if a warning is
d~isregarded, to GUST them at once.
"You will soon see" the circular reads,
that you have raised the standard of
your establishment and that the loss will
be more than made up by double the
number of persons who have respect
for you and your dances.
Dance music should be bright and
cheerful, properly accented and the
phrases well divided" the circular adds.

"The proper dancing step should be
the same as a natural walking one,
except in exhibition dancing, which prop

room. Exceptionally long or short steps
are not in good form.
Dancing should be from the waist
down, not from the waist up. Copying
Of the extremes used on the modern
stage is in bad taste. Remember that
the majority OF dancers desire to dance
according to the best accepted standards,
that IS, without the slightest trace or
offense to dignity or decorum."
