 Somehow it struck sentimental chord to have someone ask to have mention made of the passing of a horsc-just a common ordi- nary gray horse.
 Wasn't he entitled to mention just as much as many people!
 He never caused anyone any bother. He never made any complaint. When hitchcd to tue blow he plugged away at the job until the driver unhitchcd the traces. If hitchch to the buggy he saumtclcd into town and never thought to ask if the trip couldn't wait m t,I some other day or if the toad couldn't 0r divided and part left for someone else to bring When started homcward he showed signs of pleasure at returning to the place where all he was expected to do was to work and where all he got in return was ample quantities of daily food,
 He never pulled back in the traces. IIo .ncvcr ran away He was always willing, H." grew up with one of the boys and he grand. fathcrcd all the colts He was like one of lIlH laNIIN.
 Many men there are about whom the same
 things could not be said. Many men there are over whom the preacher would fnd it hard to preach that kind of funeral sermon. Many men there are less worthy of a parting tear than this od horse which never planned for the future and never had to regret the Ipast.
 There are enough old plugs among the humans but there are few of whom 1t can be said, as it can be said of this old horse, that he was ever faithful that he never Shirkcd a task Many a man there is of whom 1t can not even be said that he grew up with the children and seemed like one of the family.
 Isn't a dumb brute like this more entitled Ito flowers than some who are tOtcd to the burial plot in a benzine buggy and accom- panied by a concourse of those left behind, there carefully laid away and a chisclod mar bIc slab erected to mark the spot?

PLAN
TOHOLD MEETING
IN WASHINGTON

Charles S. Barrett, president of the
National Farmers union, has called
a mass meeting of farmers at Wash
ington, D. c., on April 80 for the pur-
pose of impressing upon the new adj
ministration the necessity for the
adoption of effective and permanent
relief measures.
This is the psychological time for
action" says Mr.. Barrett in his call.
This is the time when the farmers,
like other interests, should in the
most forceful manner, compatible
with that respect we always show for
authority impress upon the govern
ment the need for such legislative
and administrative measures as may
be depended upon to accomplish what
I know to be the desire of all think
ing men engaged in the noble calling
of agriculture.
mo interest Of any magnitude has
failed to make itself felt in Wash
ington and none has failed to take
advantage of any situation. which
may be construed in it's favor.
Nov the time has come when the
farmers must make themselves heard
and I know of no better way than to
bring them here from every state and
community where lives man assoc
ciated with our organization. l know
of no better time to do this than the
time when the new administration
has become fairly accustomed to the
duties required of it by the American
people.
Our organization has demonstrate
ed it's power and ability to cooper
ate. 1t has collectively bought and
sold billions of dollars worth of
products. 1t directs great co-opera-
tive effort in America. For these
ifcy cfcsfn
advice will be welcomed in Washing

Child Waning Doll
Causes Fire Department
To Receive Hurry Call

When the little daughter of Mrs. D.

calmy put her celluloid doll, because
it was cold" on top of hot stove
about 4:40 o'clock Saturday after
noon, the somewhat pyrotechnic re-
suit so excited Mrs. Patrick that she
rushed to the telephone and turned
in a fire alarm. However, no dam
age was done, the department extin-
gushing the flaming doll before it
could cause further trouble.
Other alarms answered by the fire
department Saturday were at 70 Ark
wright place, about 1890 a. M, and
1853 Westminster drive, about 1915
p. m. Probably the most damage
was done at the latter place, as a
servant house in the rear was prac-
ticaIly destroyed. J. G. Logan, the
owner of the property, occupies the
home. 1t is thought that some chill
dren who were playing in the vacant
house grew careless with matches
and set it on fire.
Mrs. H. E. Johnson occupies the
house at 70 Arkwright place, which
suffered very slight damage, sup
posedly from sparks dropping from
+he chimney on to the shingle roof.

III. S. MUST STUDY
HOW TO APPROACH
LATIN : AMERICA

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.-Secre-
tary of State Colby, cpeaking before
the American Academy of Political
and Social Science here tonight on his
recent trip to South America, said
he saw enough to realize that one of
the first duties incumbent upon the
people of the United States is to
re-examine every postulate with
which they approach the contempla-
ton or the study of the great repub-
lies of America. DR.. L. S. Rowe.
director general of the pan-American
Union, introduced the secretary.
I'VE never can bring our relations
to the people of Latin-America to
respect" he said, until we realize
that. we must find the right psyche
logical approach to Latin-America.
That means the correction of most of
our assumptions and the studious and
open-minded appreciation of life IN
south America, intelligently consid-
cred"
1.-THE great barrier to American
progress abroad is language, Secre-
tary Colby continued. THE People Of
the United States are not linguists.
You can hold no converse with a man
except in the terms of common vocab-
ulary. Business has not time for the
interpreter, and no patience either.
Until the utterly unfounded fallacy
that English will carry you around
the world is exploded, and until the
men whom We send as representa-
tives, either diplomatic. consular or
commercial. to the countries of La
tin-America speak the beautiful
tongue of the Spaniard or the Portu-
guese, our. progress will be hating
and Disappointing.
II wish our Schools would clean
out the rubbish from their curricula
with which they agitate the youthful
mind without improving 1T. Better
than a smattering of botany, biology,
zoology, astronomy, trigonometry,
plane, spherical or anything else. the
youth of America should be schooled
n languages. Language is the key
which not only opens the riches and
the stores of great literatures, but
opens the doors of influential. profit
able human contacts with great peo-
piles. The ordinarily graduate of an
American academy or college knows
nothing to do with his smatterings
of science except to forget them:
1--WE must indeed and without delay
nations who are our neighbors. BY
SO doing only can we succeed in Gull
tivating genuine and vital relations
with them"
The countries of South America.
said the secretary, are not at all what
the generality of people in the United
States suppose them to be.
"They are quite as ready to give
profitable instruction as they. are IN
need Of any and give that instruc-
ton to u.s." he said. Instead of be-
ing staggered by our economic and
financial authority in the world. they
feel quite able to hold their own.
Instead of envying us, l thsNk 1t
quite as true to say that there are
many developments which they be-
hold in this country which are unat-
tractive and even repellant and from
which they hope in some way or
other to protect themselves.
The American who succeeds in the
Latin American countries. said Mr..
Colby, will be the man who assists
them in the solution Of their prob
lens. !.
