gqt up In the morning, fed, curfied

whatever implement was TO rs ussd;,
and at the end Of the day had made .
comparatively small showing in the

work at night, the horses had to be un-

messed, fed and given necessary atten-
tion; alf.this adding materially to the
day,eslabor. .i sss
Today, the farmer using modern
tractor goes out in the morning, sup
plies the machine with fuel, oil and
water, and work begins, continuing
steadily throughnut The; day Atsquit-
ting time the motor is shut of and the
days work Is done, with much evi-
dence Of extensive accompi ishment.. If
necessary, the machine with a change

HORSE SENSE
By Walter III Gardner

By Walter III. Gardner
Once you had aSpride in knowing
How to Judge head Of stock.
You could pick the really good ones
And you used to love to talk
OF the points that told the story
Barrel, withers, flank and gait!.
You could tell the one worth having
From the poor and lazy skate!
Mighty seldom you were cheated,
For you bought with lots Of carer
And you've got to buy a tractor,
AS you used to buy mare.
Oh! you once were mighty careful
On q sultry summers day,
Not to overwork your horses
is Not to feed 'em too much hay!
And you kept 'em under shelter
# the day was over-war1n
Tied 'em snug in side the stable
If there came driving storml
But your pocketbook will suffer,
And your checkbook feel remorse;
h you do not treat your tractor
As you used to treat your horse.
When you hitched up in the morning
And the mule .a-limping came,
sWhy-you left him in the stable :
Never thought to work him lame!
It he had Q touch Of collie
II you found him of his feed; If
Then you let him rest and nursed him

COST OF INAUGURATIONS
HIGH LIKE ALL THINGS

Price indices fail to register any
decline in the item of Presidential
inaugurations The installation in Of
flee of Warren G. Harding will cost
several times as much as that of any
previous Chief Executive.
Many millions are spent by the A
merican people in choosing Presi-
dent, but the cost doesn't stop
there; he must be inaugurated and
no shall sum is required for this
purpose. In the past the direct ex-
pense to Washington alone Of stag
ing the Capital City's greatest show
100000, while the indirect ex-
pense to the nation at large of
railroad fares, hotel bills and seats
amounts to considerably over ST.
100000.
Gambling on the weather, the city
of Washington sometimes recoups
its expenditures from the pockets of
visitors, but more often, due to the
earliness of the season, it does not.
Owing to the great increase in the
cost of lumber and labor for the
erection of the immense reviewing
stands, which is the largest item OF
direct expense, the inaugural COM
mittee, will find itself confronted
with a most formidable undertak-
ing.
It is doubted whether the in

inauguration and which will require
greatly increased outlay this year.
The sum of $6,205 was used for il
Elimination, of which $4,000 went
for current and materials. This did
not include the expenditures for
this purpose on the Government
buildings themselves which would be
hard to estimate.
The great array Of flags and
bunting generally whipped to pieces
in the wind and rain that more Of
ten than not accompanies inaugural
week, constitute an item of consid-
cradle expense. The flags and flag
holders of the last inauguration cost
very close to $1,000.
Publicity work came to the neat
sum of $1,059 in 1915 and there
was a printing bill of $3,353.
Badges for the committee members
and gold medals struck for the
President, Vice-President and chair
man Of the inaugural committee
figured up to $s60.40. Fire works
cost $4,190.
These and many other items Of
expense bring the bill of direct
cost to a surprising total, notwith-
standing the fact that the utmost
care is used in supervising expendi-
lures, and that services rendered
are for the most part donated, as
we'll as some material.
