There is the utmost need in this

The uneasiness of practical patri-
otto men like Colonel Armstrong over
the situation was amply justified by
the lesson of the last great war, which
SO strkingly demonstrated the value
OF the horse in connection with mod

have become pitiful shortage. had
the Germans held out only very few
weeks longer than they did.
Nor must we forget the importance
OF breeding better horses more exten.
sively in times of peace. Better bred
horses mean better work horses; bet

The 1920 census figures indicate that
Kentucky, as usual, will lead her SIS.

OF horses, but even we are far from
approaching what should be our quota

One hundred and forty-five years

pendence was published to the world
the leaden statute of George III was
melted into bullets and the real

And on this glorious day of this the

us the peace and liberty that we
enjoy. What can l say for them,
what shall I say that will add one
iota to their immortal name or place
one leaf in their wreath of glory?
The marble monument has been
erected to their mighty memory, but
monuments will crumble and fall.
The solid ground on which they
stand must sink down to the level
of the sea. but their noble deeds
shall never perish for whereso-
ever among us there shall be found
hearts that beat with transports of
and liberty, and our no.
blest aspirations will be to claim
kindred with their spirits.
