FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS

How times have changed The nor
NAL every day occurrences of 10 years
ago are a novelty for young men ap
preaching manhood today. Hands that
have never touched the reins of horse
are familiar with the steering wheel
Of motor car. Young men, who for
the life of them couldn't tell crupper
from a one horse chaise, discuss cru
ditely carburetors and transmssions.
Last Friday the noisy palaver of a
| team of farm mares, driven to town by
| w. NJ Weber, Odell orchardist, who
was delivering a coop Of frying chick
ems to the Hood River Market. created
more disturbances among the clerical
forces Of stores, banks and profession
al Offices than would the honk of an
automobile 15 years ago. One of the |
old mares seemed in an unusually bad |
humor. Those raised on a farm will |
remember just how quarrelsome old |
mares could grow on occasion. The |
snorts and angry whinies of Mr.. |
Weber's animal attracted as much at
tention probably as an alighting air
plane would have drawn.
