KILL 10000 HORSES
War Department in London Favors
Meat Slaughter

Horse lovers throughout the coun.
try have been shocked by Colonial
Secretary Winston Chruchill's AN.
) nouncement in the house of commons
that 10000 army horses in Meso-
potamia are to be killed because it is
too expensive to bring them home.
1t was explained that they are
mainly heavy draft horses for which
there is no local use, and that they
had to be fed on imported fodder
The nearest possible markets are In
dia or Egypt, but the difficulties and
cost of transportation thence are said
to be prohibitive.
Shipping men say it costs $40 tc
$50 to bring a horse from the east
to England, not counting horsemen'S
wages.
The war Offices view is that it is
better for the horses to be killed
humanely and scientifically than to
be left in the hands of natives who
would not care for them properly
and no one would suggest turning
them adrift in the desert.

Saws Cory American Ways.

American methods in social, educa-

adopted by the new republic of Czecho-

quickly adapted themselves to our
leadership and training, according 20
Miss Eleanor Prudden, director of the
work of the Young Women's Christian
association in Czecho-Slovakia. Miss
Prudden recently returned to America
for a short leave of absence.
Upon the invitation of the Czecho-
Slovak government, the Young Won
ems Christian association. in some In
stances jointly with the Young Mems
Christian association, for the last year
has been conducting demonstration
work to develop native leadership
said Miss Prudden. The association
will be able TO withdraw early in 1922
as arranged in advance, leaving lis

The Short Change Artist

One of the pests of modern life is
the short change artist, the fellow
who makes study of how to enrich
himself by passing out short
amount of money in making change
You rarely find him in a place like
DEBORAH because his operations would
be spotted. But in large cities
trolly car conductors, sellers of en-
tertainment and railroad tickets and
other men who take in money from
crowds, sometimes work this game
successfully.
Such fellows bank on the idea that
people dislike to make fuss in the
presence of crowd. Those who
suspect that such a game is being
worked, owe it to themselves and
the public to protect, and if they dc
not get justice to complain to the
proper authority. Stealings stoT
when it is proved to be dangerou;
to attempt them.

Cloth Tester Invented.

When high-priced clothes wear out
quickly the buyer must have been
"stung," said the bureau of standards
in a recent Washington dispatch TO
the Baltimore American.
The bureau has perfected device
by which the buyer of a suit of clothes
can tell accurately the reason why.
The new invention, worked out by
a minor employee of the bureau, may
in the future be manufactured so
cheaply that every home can possess
one and be used as a sure guide in
the purchase of clothing of all grades.
What the device does is to tell be.
yOnd all doubt the thread count, fiber
strength and thread width and prob
able "life" of particular kind of cloth
that may be given a test. 1t also de-
termines the power of resistance TO
wear of which a piece of cloth may
be capable.

Puts Blame on Signing Lover.

Curious" writes to a newspaper
asking why ice cream doesn't drop In
price now that all its separate ingredi-
ents have dropped. The reason. o
Curious. is because so many ice cream
patrons are young and unmarried, OBJ
serves Arthur III. Folwell in Leslie's.
Millions of gallons of cream are bought
each and every evening by young men
out with "the girl" What chance is
there that they will start buyers
strike? Buyers strikes are for pinched
and desperate married folk, and have
to do with such prOsy, unromantic
commodities as clothes and canned to-
matoes. The crafty makers of ice
cream know that all limits are off
when young man and his particular
queen of Sheba step into palace Of
frosty sweets. The young mans fear
of being thought 'tightwad" or a
"pill" is the ice cream dealers best bet
that prices won't come down to pre-
war levels. Not at least for several
whites. Indeed, the ice cream man is
thinking seriously of not dropping
them at all, but of making his war
prices do for two wars-the last one
and the next one.

Got SMALL FEES
Noted Lecturers Certainly Not
0verpaid for Services.
John 3. Cough, for Instance, Is Said to
Have Received the Huge Sum
of 81 for One Evening.

81 wonder what Charlie Chaplin or
some other famous parsonage Of the
stage or screen would say if he were
offered II bushels Of potatoes or a
ham for an evenings work."
1t was the old crouch himself, speak
ing to a fellow worker during the
lunch hour in busy downtown office,
according TO the Chicago Daily News.
The old crouch had just finished read
ing an article in which present-day
salaries of stage and screen stars were
spoken Of and 1. might be said that
the reading of this bit of news GER
tainly did not tend to brighten up his
gloomy disposition the least bit.
But the fact remains that people
equally as well known In their day
worked an evening for potatoes, ham
and other trifing amounts. for the old
crouch himself said he knew il to be
a fact. One of his co-workers asked
to be shown and he was.
In the good old lyceum days back
In 1852. when John B. Cough was In
his prime, it is disclosed that he re-
ceived about 81 lecture, each lecture
taking about three hours.
And IL can be seen from files of
newspapers that once at Andover,
n. H., those responsible for the lecture
paid Mr.. Cough with ham instead
of with currency. and the speaker was
apparently satisfied with this fee.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was one
Of the shining stars of the lecture
world during his day. was glad to ac-
cept So as payment for an evening.
while the old crouch pointed out that
one time Henry Ward Beecher was
paid II bushels Of potatoes for an
evening Of his time.
According to the records. II was In
1859 when the cost of lecturers started
to rise. During that year the Salem
lyceum astounded the people of that
community by paying Daniel Webster
800 for a two-hOur talk, and IL
created a mild sensation.
This doubtless started something
for after that prices continued to rise.
In the 70's Mark Twain held out for
and received $500 night.
Then Beecher, taking his cue from
Twain. became a holdout and he con-
tinued to hold out until the ante for
one night of his services had been
raised to $1,000, this being the very
first $1,000 fee ever paid lecturer
in this or any other country.
Major Pond, accepting the $1,000
mark. later contracted with Henry Nj.
Stanley for series of 100 lectures
agreeing TO pay him 100000 for
them. The major did not lose any
money on this In spite Of the fact that
every other promoter in the country
was convinced of the fact that he had
become weak-minded In his advanced
years. The fact that the first Of this
series of lectures given in New York
netted $1,000 proved that the major
was not so wrong after all.
'It's not right" the old Crouch con-
tinued "Here we work hard week
after week for small pitt1nce and
these lecturers, actors, fighters and
ball players get thousands of dollars
for few hours of fun. There ought
to be a law against H."
About that time the lunch period
ended much to the delight of the 9th
er workers, who were trying to relax
and who could not because of the old
crouch and his wailing.

GAS RATE FOR ALL IOWA
CITIES MAYBE
IOWA
Dean Raymond Named to Find One
For Muscatine.

Muscatine, Iowa-The famous Mus
catine gas rate case has been re-
opened.
1t travelled to the United States
Supreme court once.
BY order of Judge Wade it now
reposes in the care and keeping of
special master in chancery, Dean
William G. Raymond of the Iowa
university.
He has been empowered to in
quire and to determine these ques-
tions and advise the court on the
same:
/. Whether the application of the
plaintiff is made in good faith, and,
2. The rate, which upon showing
of both sides, the plaintiff has good
reason to believe it can be established
upon final hearing, as being necess-
airy to pay running expenses, and
fair rate of interest upon proper
valuation of the property of the
plaintiff.
The case started first, July 90.
1918. Muscatine fixed a S1.10 gas
rate. The company asked an IN
junction on the ground that the
rate was confiscato:y. Dean Ray
mond as special master at that time
reported that S1.35 would be a fair
rate Judge Wade issued the in
junction. Much legal complication
ensued and the United States SUI
preme court remanded the case to
the Iowa federal court for trial.
Therefore the reappointment Of
Dean Raymond 20 fial ont Il fair
gas rate now.
This find may be applicable to
all Iowa towns.

Watch for DYING Trees.

People are willing to let q tree
starve TO death, but when 1t comes TO
letting an animal starve, 1t is an en-
tirely different thing. They either
feed or kill the animal. Why not be
as humane to the tree and cut it down
to end the slow death?
A tree does not show starvation as
much as an animal. but as soon as ii
shows lack of vitality 1t should arouse
suspicion on the part Of the owner
and he should ascertain the cause,
taking steps to remedy it or else cut
down the tree.
