FARMER OWES MUCH TO MULE
Animal Is Hard and Rugged Worker
and Almost Indispensable In
Many Localities.

The mule, like everybody else, has
his place. He is considered a bad
actor. Fathers caution their sons
about going near any animal with long
ears and ropy tail. The sons know
what the animal will do because they
have been looking over the funny
paper" each Sunday and were de-
lighted in seeing the mule fold up and
let loose with kick that sent a man
through the side of a barn or over
the fence. But In spite Of this I'M
desirable advertising the mule is with
us today on more farms than ever
before. He is q hard and rugged
worker and is especially adapted to
the more billy farms Of our agricul-
tural sections. Even through the
Middle West there are some counties
that have more mules than horses. In
1867, the mules of the United States
numbered $4,000, with an average
value of $66.94. In 1890 the number
was 2,321,000, valued at S7S.25. By
1914 the number had increased to
4.123,000, with a value Of S119.S4 per
head. On January /, 1920, the num-
Der was 4,995.000 and the value per
head wns s147.
The mule has gained rapidly in
popularity, in many localities taking
the place Of the horse, and has also
prevented the Introduction of the trac.
tor In many places. There are not
few mule ranches over the United
States, the owners finding it a pay
ing kind of stock to raise. The de-
mand is increasing and those having
them for sale cannot supply the mar

Chinese Art,

The applicability of Chinese art for
interior decoration Of any period Isl
being strikingly illustrated in a recent
gallery opening in New York. The
idea that anything Chinese is gaudy
is being gradually displaced. In the,
carving of gems, the working of metal,
and in tapestry designs the Chinese,
are without rivals. The owner of the
new gallery has fitted up half score
OF rooms in period designs-there Is.
the old French and English, the
american colonial, the early Italian
end the Holland rooms. Fitting snug.
~ Into the general tone Of the room
are marvels of Chinese craftsmanship
IN the form of hangings, carved wood

elation to many and has new con-
ception of Chinese craftsmanship

Peculiar CRY OF Guinea Gives Warn
= Ing Of Marauding IN Poultry Yard.

Agriculture However, some people
look on this cry as an argument I'M the
guinea's favor, as it gives warning of,
marauders in the poultry yard. SINH
larfy, their pugnacious disposition
while sometimes causing disturbances
among the other poultry also makes
them show fight against hawks and
other common enemies, so that guineas
sometimes are kept as guards over the
poultry yard. Often few guineas are
raised with flock of turkeys and al
lowed to roost in the same tree, where
they can give warning if any theft is
attempted during the night.
Used as Substitute.
Ehe value of the guinea fowl as a
substitute for game birds such as
grouse, partridge, quail and pheasant
is becoming more and more recognized
by those who are fond of this class of
meat and the demand for these fowls
is increasing steadily. Many hotels
and. restaurants in the large cities are
eager to secure prime Young gliheas;
and often they are served at banquets
and club dinners as a special delicacy.
When well cooked, guineas are attrac-
tive in appearance, although darker
than common fowls, and the flesh Of
young birds is tender and of especial
! " fine flavor, resembling, that of wild
game. Like all other fowl, old guineas
are very likely to be tough and rather
dry.

DENNY FAVORS
RETENTION Of
NAVAL RESERVE
Abolition of Service Leaves Navy
Without Sufficient Man-Power
In Emergencies.
BY T. n. SANDIFER.

Disarmament or not, the vast man

reserve will be retained II Secretary

II clear today.
Forced by a rigid economy pro-
gram to disband the force as 1t stands,
the nation is losing the services OF
1876, 900 men, most of whom served In
the war, and would be available IN
time Of other emergencies.
Accordingly, the Secretary will seek
means to once more get this force
under the navy.
simultaneously with the order vir-
tually abolishing the reserve as 1t
exists under present regulations,
DENLY announced that he would place
before Congress at the earliest mo-
ment the need for just such an organi'
cation as he has been forced by econ
omy to shut off for the present.
DENLY will point out that the army
