When Miss Woleben was working
on Lake Crystal newspaper. known
then as The Union, and later chang
I'd to the name Tribune, she spent
her vacation at Redwood Falls,
Mimi. with a friend she drove over
to the Sioux mission, conducted by
the late Bishop II. B. Whipple. She
had always wanted to see Chief
Good Thunder, known over the
country as good injun."
She also wanted to purchase some
OF the lace which the women were
making at the mission In the indus
trial classes. But upon her arrival
she found that ell the lace had been
disposed of and all thread must be
used for q beautiful lace counter
pane which was to be sent to the
Paris exposition. Therefore it was
an impossibility to purchase lace.
But she wanted souviner any
way. She walked over to the little
cabin where Chief and Mrs. Good
Thunder lived. Mrs. Good Thunder
was working at the mission. and
did not Fet to talk with her.
Chief Good Thunder was lying in

HORSE COMING BACK
Declared Old .Dobbin- VIII Replaces
Motorized Hauling on Farm

IAssociAted Press Dispatchl
Chicago, December 27.-American
farmers are losing approximately
$50, O0n, 900 a year on their oats. crop
and probably a like amount ON their
hay crops through the use OF auto
mobiles, motor trucks and tractors
which have large suppiapted the
use of horses In the cities, according
to Robert McDougal, president of the
Chicago Board OF Trade IN znAlyziEfs
the effect Of motorized hauling on
the horse and grain market. Mr.. Nc
Dougal believes, however. the pendu-
lum is swinging the other way,
pointing out that the prices on good
draft horses are advancing.
''In 1910, there were $500, 900
horses in the Cities" said Mr.. Nc
Dougal. while in 1920 there was q
trifle more than half that number.
Most city, horses are fed Upon oats
and hay. Oats prices recently aver
whereas before we began using gas
oline they averaged 81 cents below
wheat. This is loss of three cents
per bushel, which based upon an ay-
erage crop of one billion bushels
nets the farmer a tidy loss.
There is no doubt the big power
tractor has reached the saturation
point. In many farming sections
high powered tractors were bought
by small sized farmers. 1t was a dis
astrous venture for many. In the cit :
les, many businesses turned their
backs upon the horse for short hauis
with frequent stops. Today the farm
er is feeding yard Of colts and the
horse is coming into his own for
short hauls.
Is going to be sure of an important
place in moving several varieties OF
commodities"
