Smith STILL SHOES
OLD DOBBIN'S HOOPS
AUTOS AND MOTOR TRUCKS
DON'T HURT HIS BUSINESS.
MORE HORSES THAN EVER.

Anybody who, thinks the sleek,
dashing powerful limousines, with
their garages and auto repair shops,
have put Old Dobbin and the village
blacksmith out of business are mis-
taken. They are doing more work
now than any time in their practical
and poetic careers.
At least this is the concensus of
opinion of the blacksmiths and horse
shoers of the nation, who met in Chi
cago recently in their twenty-ninth
annual convention. Members of the
Master Horseshoers' Protective Asso-
citation and of the Illinois Master
Horseshoers, representing every
state in the union, were in Chicago
at that time. Five hundred in all
were present, and every one was an
honest-to-gosh horseshoer-and he
didn't learn his trade in college.
More Horses Now Than in 1910.
"Why, there are more horses be-
tween the shafts today and frisking
in the meadows" said William E.
Murphy, national secretary of the
association, ethan there were back in
1910. Statistics show that there are
27,500,000 horses and mules now as
against 24.OO0,0OO in 1910. And, at
that, we transported 100000 to
Europe during the war.
"And there is no need to fear that
the horse will be supplanted by the
motor or the blacksmith will lose his
job. Again, statistics prove that it
costs II cents hundred pounds to
transport goods by motor truck with
in a radius of six miles and 8 cents
every time the motor stops. By horse
it costs 2-3 cents hundred pounds
and you don't have to figure when
he stops.
"The only difficulty nowadays for
the horseshoers is that so few want
to learn the trade. And horseshoeing
methods have been practically revo-
lutionized within the last twenty
wears. The horseshoer of the poem
wouldn't recognize his profession if
he saw a horse being shod today"
Establish a University School.
Fifty thousand dollars has been
spent to establish a school of horse
shoeing at Cornell University. Horse
anatomy is studied. American shoers
have always been superior in prac--
tice to those of Europe, but those OF
the continent are far ahead of US IN
knowledge of anatomy.
After their five-day convention,
when all wore spiffy silk shirts-or
nearly all of them-and slick blue
serge suits; after their special lunch
cons, drives along the boulevards IN
easy-going automobiles, and happy
go-lucky hours of other diverio!n1sS
the staunch 500, brawny of build
and muscles like iron bands, return,
ed to their beloved trade, donned
their overalls and have begun to
whistle gayly again as they shoe Old
Dobbin.

"Reds" and purposely planned the
sending of an internal machine into
the Atlanta home of Mr.. Hardwick
more than a year ago, when his wife
was seriously injured and "a negro
servant girl was permanently MAIN
ed, losing both of her hands.

he wrote an Infamous, miserable and
cowardly lie, and he knew it," said

Mr.. Hardwick declared he did not
want dollar of "the dirty money
of Mr.. Anderson's paper, but an
nounced that he would fight the suit
to a verdict and then present the
amount recovered to the Macon hos
pital.

Jefferson Vaguely Liberal"
In chronological order, Washing
+on was an Episcopalian and John
Adams a Unitarian. jefferson is
rsgnely classified as 'liberal." Mr..
nTnra1 explains that "Jefferson's
liberalism in religious belief was a
nort of his democracy. While he at

ioininp in its communion, he was,

Andrew Jackson is included among
the Methodists, apparently being
among those who are now described
as "having their religion in their
wives names" Grant and Hayes
were Methodists, and the martyred
Garfield a member of the Disciples
of Christ. Arthur was an Episcopa-
Ian, the last of a long line. The
Presbyterians then had Cleveland,
BENJAMIN Harrison and Cleveland
again. Mckinley was Methodist.
Roosevelt Second Reformed.
Then came Roosevelt the second
of the Reformed presidents, who was,
however, tower of strength to the
Episcopal church in Oyster Bay in
which his funeral service was held
before he was laid away in the GEM
etery overlooking Long Island Sound.
In their attitude toward religion
Roosevelt and his successor, Taft, a
Unitarian, were strikingly alike,
Mr.. Roosevelt was perhaps more
spectacular in his emphasis of relig-
ious fundamentals. The story of his
conversation with the newspaper
correspondent who insisted that he
could worship as reverently under a
tree with a cigar and book, or IN
the fields, or on the hills with his
dog, is typical.
