winter clothing and to support herself
llso until the next pension money ar

that the greatest grain market in the
world has recognised the menace to
grain sales resulting from the displsee-
ment of horses and mules by motors.
1t means that the methods of the
Horse Association, in giving reliable
information on the use Of horses, are

Trade. 1t proelaims the position Of
the grain men in no uncertain terms.

the campaign Of the Horse Association
of America to increase the production
and use Of horses and mules would not

that ample evidence has already been

less efficient service, 1t greater cost.
