Dearth of Animals Brought About by
Tendency to Discontinue Breed

Equipment Makes Outlook
Bright for Farmers Who

Bright Tor Farmers VINO
Own Mares.
The census figures for horses and
mules have been published and there
were only about 100000 more horses
ard mules in the United States in
1920 than there were in 1919. There
were over 100000 horses and mules
coming four or over in the spring of
1920 than there were in 1910. That
Indicates shortage in younger ami
mails, and when we come to the sta
tistics for colts we find that there
were 2,O45,O horse and mule foals of
1909 on farms and only 100000 horse
and mule foals of 1919 on farms. This
discrepancy is probably still farther
enhanced by the 1920-21 crops which
are small. These figures spell short
age in horses.
A thorough survey made by the
horse associations of America and re-
ports from three hundred experienced
horse experts, placed the average life
of working horses after reaching the
age of three, at twelve years. This
would make the number going out of
service every year from one cause or
another, 1871 900, based on the total
for 1920. You will see that this is
greater than the total number of
horse and mule foal on farms in 1919,
to say nothing of losses between the
foal age and three year old.
There is a marked return to horse
drawn equipment on short hauls and
delivery work in the cities. Also
there is something of return to horse
implements on many farms that went
extensively to motor equipment num-
ber of years ago. The length of serv-
ice for a city horse is estimated at 8
years. Harness is estimated to last
IL years, and wagons fifteen. Com
pare this depreciation and the small
up-keep during the latter years as
compared with up-keep and deprecia-
tion on motors.
Geo. f. Morton, of the Colorado
Agricultural College suggests that it
should pay farmers to breed all avail
able mares this season.

hand in glove with destructionists to
make industrial enterprises difficult
and impossible. Taxation should cease
to be oppressive ard all state ard fed
eral departments should become self
sustaining instead of parasitic. If
they have any excuse for existence at
all, make those who get special serv-
ice from a government function pay
for that service, end not everyone in
the state for something that is of no
earthly use to them. In addition, the
various functions exercised by the
state IN regulating business and in
dustries, and human activities, like
banking commissions, corporation COM
missions, tax commissions, labor COM
missions, ad infinitum, should become
constructive, and it should be their
boast that in their various fields of of
ficialism they actually do things of
practical value for the masses of the
people and the prosperity of the COM
monwealth.
Why should not tax commissions
help reduce taxes instead of holding
conventions of taxation experts to in
vent new ways of getting more reve-
nues out of the people? Why should
not corporation or Blue Sky COM
mission make it boast that it has
encouraged the creation of new cor
porations? Why continue making it
difficult and expensive for anyone to
organize any new business enterprise
Why continue killing them with de-
mands for redt.pe reports and official
tape e-wormism? Why should not a
state labor commission boast of hav-
ing done something to give some poor
man or woman n job, instead of max
ing it harder all the time for anyone
20 start an industry and maintain a
payroll? Why should not all the
boards and commissions which live off
the efforts of industry be made to
justify their existence by showing as
sistance to industry?
They are killing the goose that lays
the golden egg of officialism by driv-
ing capital away from investment in
industries and force the idle billions
into investing into non-taxable securi-
ties instead of establishing new man.

ism has gone so far as to pauperize
not only the 100000 persons now
said to be in the public employ, but
to make them believe that they are

AT FOX'S THEATER.

''Over the Hill," the William Fox screen adaptation of the famous Will Carleton poem, which will open on Sat urday afternoon at FoX's theatre, not only had an amazing reception by d brilliant assemblage on the night of it's premiere on Broadway, but, from the standpoint of press criticism, was ac- corded a most unusual welcome. The
 reviewers of the New York press ap- parently vied with each other in sing ing the praises of this wonderful pie ture of simple home life and homely virtues.
 Frank Pope, writing in the New York Journal of Commerce, prefaced his re- view with the frank statement that he does not care especially for motion pie lures. Then he adds, regarding the
 premiere of "Over the Hill' that last
 night we saw Mary Carr, of whom we
 never heard before, play mother as a mother probably never has been play ed-for the screen at least-before. Re
 viewers of pictures raved over the work of Vera Gordon in 'Humoresque,' and
 reviewers of plays dM the same over Emma Dunn in Mother and Old Lady
 31,' but let them see Mary Carr in this picture. It is safe to assert that the , camera never has recorded a finer, more faithful piece of acting.'

 He found himself in a huge tent where hundreds of people sat all around on tiers of seats. Men and horses were capering about in the center of the place. And somewhere band was playing.
 He was under the big top.

THE CIRCUS GROUNDS.

The Green family ate their lunch con in the carryall on Main street, after the circus parade had passed. They didn't forget to give old dog Spot something to eat out of the big basket that they had brought with them from home. Although they hadn't expected him to go to the village with them, there was more than enough food for everybody. Even Johnnie Green appetite wasn't equal to all the goodies that his mother had provided.
 People were already starting for the circus grounds on the outskirts of the village. Johnnie Green noticed them uneasily.
 "we don't want to be late for the show" he reminded his father. We'll get there in time,'' Farmer Green assured him.
 And they did Soon they followed the crowd through the village streets until they came in sight of the "big top" the great tent with flags flying above it, and smaller tents all around. Farmer Gheen turned the bays into & yard nearby, while he unharnessed and fed them. Then he tied one end of a rope to Spots collar and fastened the other end to a carriage wheel. "There!' he said. Now we're ready"
 Old dog Spot didn't want to be left behind. He tugged at the rope and whined.
 Be quiet!" Johnnie Greens fla ther said to him. You followed us to the village. And now you'll have | to behave yourself. They wouldn't ! let you into the show"
 Then the Green family turned their backs on him.
 They needn't think they can keeI me here" Spot growled. II didn't run all the way from the farm tc the village to be tied to a wagon wheel"
