CURING HORSES BAD HABITS
In Case Of Chronic Baker Course o.
Training VIII Be Needed to
Overcome Fault.

Horses that have been properly
handled and trained are not balky,
neither do they have bad habits.
When horses with bad habits are en-
countered a careful study of each case
should be made in order to ascertain
the cause, and, II possible. to re-
move 1t.
The most common cause Of balk-
mess among horses is punishment to
make them do something that they
cannot do or that they do not under
stand how to do. Another common
cause is the forcing Of horses to draw
heavy loads without allowing them to
stop occasionally to rest and regain
their breath. The use of the whip or
spur IN such instances should be
avoided, as the pain inflicted will be
very likely to provoke further and
more stubborn rebellion. If horse
balks the bearing Of the harness
should be examined to see If 1t is
hurting him. II heavy load is be
ing drawn and the horse is not al
lowed to rest and regain his breath
and strength he may become sulky
and refuse to pull. Give him a short
rest; and while he is resting rub his
nose, pick up a front foot and tap the
hoOf a few times, or adjust the har-
ness. and he may forget his grievance.
Take the lines and give the command
to go ahead, turning slightly to the
right or left to start. If the horse
does not start ii is either a case Of
overload or a chronic baker II the
load is so heavy it cannot be drawn,
unload. If the horse is a chronic
baker course of training will be
necessary to overcome the habit.
In older horses where the habit of
baking is fixed the horse should be
trained to obey all commands with
prOmptness without being hitched to
the wagon. First put on the double
trip ropes and use them until the
horse stops and stands when he hears
whoa" Next put on the guy line,
which should be managed by an as
sistant, while you drive and attend the
trip ropes. The guy line is a rope
fastened around the horses neck and
half hitch over the lower jaw. 1t
is very severe and should not be used
to excess. If the horse shows any
tendency to balk, give the command
whoa" before he stops of his own
accord. When ready to start, the as
sistant should take position in front
OF the horse and smartly jerk him for

CHAPTER VI.
Into the MIGHT.

Harris and Allan drove straight to
the engine. never looking back to see
what became of the hired man. On
the way the farmer explained to his
son what had taken place; that words
had passed between them but no
blows had been struck. until Allan
appeared on the scene.
II can't make out what got into
Jim, that he wouldn't answer a civil
question. Jim was good man. too"
Perhaps the disturbing suggestion en-
tered Harris mind that the question
had been none too civil, and he was
really beginning to feel that after all
Jim might be the aggrieved party.
But he crushed down such mental Sc
dition promptly. ut don't matter how
good a man he was.' he declared, "as

Cured. "Well, Wen have to get some
body else. Wen manage till noon,
and then you better ride over to
Grants or Morrison's They'll be able
to lend man or one Of the boys for
day or two"
AT noon Jim's chair was vacant, and
the family sat down to dinner amid a
depressing silence. No mention was
made of the mornings incident until
the meal was well advanced. when

way 10 introduce the subject, said:

struck him singing blow in the face
that measured him again In the grass.
1t was only for an instant. Travers
sprang to his feet, red line slowly
stretching down his cheek as he did
so. Allan came upon him swinging a
tremendous blow at the jaw; but Jim
guarded skilfully, and answered with
smash from the shoulder straight on
the chin, which laid his adyersary's

Allan rose slowly, sober but deter

took the reins himself.

MORE GOOD ROADS BIG NEED
viii increase Growing Popularity Of
Automobiles and Help Build
Up Communities.

To determine the average mileage
the automobile owner covers in a
pleasure trip in the evening after
the days work is over, an investiga-
ton among $50 owners in a middle
western city Of around 100000 popu-
lation resulted in an average Of 3S
miles. Sixty-two per cent stated they
would make longer trips If the roads
permitted, IS per cent stated they usu-
ally made their trips out into the
country.
From these figures 1t is easy to
see that more good roads will in
crease the growing popularity Of the
automobile, which will In turn help
to build up communities. relieving
congestion in the crowded cities, Gre

tation costs and introduce America

labor. The army OF laborers which We
expected to apply for the work did
not, however. materialize. On the
contrary, there was distinct shortage
Of labor, and wages reached the high
est levels attained in the history Of
the country. In 1917, competent labor
could be secured for from $3.50 to IS
per day, but the corresponding wages
In 1920 were from So to IS for a short
err days work.
In proportion to this demand there
was also pronounced scarcity of con-
struction materials. Sand, gravel,
stone and cement, and materials COM
monty used in road work increased in
price between 1917 and 1920 from SO
to 100 per cent. Naturally, these in
creases in cost were reflected In the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
$4,535 to $3.50 per mile; concrete
from $21, 1885 to upward Of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from 500 600 to
$4,000 per mile.
As funds available for road con-
struction are largely limited by statute,
or by the returns from taxation, q
majority Of the states this year have
deliberately withheld work, the plans
for which had been completed, until
they could obtain a greater return for

MAIL SACKS STOLEN
 AT MAR|COPA \
Robbery Takes Pla c e Thursday Morning - Postoffice Officials Say Loss Small = All Mail For This County

Two sacks of registered mail con- signed to various towns in Maricopa county were stolen at MaFicopa early Thursday morning. according to defi- nite word brought to Phoenix last evening by postoffice officials.
 The robbery took place, 1t was stated. between the hours of 5:45 and 6:45 Thursday morning while the mail car of Southern Pacific train No. 102, from Los Angeles to Phoe- nix. was standing under a bright electric light at the station
 As soon as the robbery was dis covered postoffice inspectors here were notified and with other govern ment agents they went to Maricopa, finding the rifled mail in the railroad yard 150 feet from the car. An inn mediate check on the contents Of the mail sacks was instituted. and last evening it was announced that the loss is practically nothing. most oi the mail having consisted of letters and packages of no actual cash value except to the consigners and con signees. The one valuable article il the sacks, a lavalliere, was found fr the mail which had been discarded by the thieves.
 No mail consigned to Phoenix was included in the sacks, according tc postoffice officials. all the matter ir the sacks being consigned to outly- ing towns which are served from tho local postoffice. The fact that the | loss is practically nothing is due tC the fact that only a small part o the registered mail for this section O, the state is carried by this train.
