various places where he was shown.
/ Dicky's mother was not SO dis;in-
guished but she was registered cat
with quite a long pedigree. She was
raised by Mrs. ]. d. lawson and was
Of the gray Persian type. Her father
was Of the orange Persian. Dicky had
two sisters. one of whom Mrs. Tom Cen
try owns and the other belongs to niece
Of Mrs. Ankeney in Kansas City. This
sister was recently shown in the cat
show there and won two prizes.
Both Dicky's sisters are Of an orange
color. but Dicky is lighter and somewhat
of a cream. He is about thirty-five
inches long from the tip of his tail to
the tip of his nose mad weighs fourteen
pounds. He will be years old this
spring. Despite all his pedigree. he is
4 fine hunter, Mrs. Ankeney says. not
only catching mice but rabbits as well.
He is quite smart cat. too. for he
easily opens swinging door by placing
his front paws upon it and pushing with
his weight.
Didi Heinrich. who is owned by Ger
trude Heinrich. 1924 Wilson avenue. is
an uncle Of Dicky. Didi also comes from
the orange Persian stock blended with
gray. His father. while perhaps not so
distinguished as Dickys. was neverthe-
less pedigree cat. He is little larger
than Dicky and is also older. he having
been years old last November.
His chief characteristic. Miss Heinrich
says. is affection. He follows her every
where. When she leaves the house he
climbs up in the window and watches
her until she is out Of sight. When he
decides it is about time for her to re-
turn he climbs up in the window down. !
stairs to await her.
Another unusual thing about Didi is
his keen ear for music. The chime Of
the tongs about the fireplace will arouse
him from slumber and he Immediately
follows the sound Of the music. He
never fails to respond to the chimes with
a Meow" He is much affected by il
and loud music seems to distress him
very much.

and his mother from the Dollie.
They were registered in both the Eng.
lish and American cat book.
Bobbie Burk will be Ia years old the
first Of May. He was given to Mrs.
Bowling as a wedding present. He was
very playful when he was young. Mrs.
Bowling says, but now that he is grow
ing old he walks and acts with great dig.
nifty.
Berry, another unusual cat, is owned
by Mrs. E. G. McAlester. Mr.. Meal
ester got the cat several years ago in
Kansas City. He is a fully registered
cat also. He is white in color and weighs
about fifteen pounds. While some peo-
pie call him angera, Mrs. McAles,er
thinks he is more like the Persian. The
angora and Persian cats are distin-
guished by the grade Of their fur, Mrs.
McAlester explained. The Persian cat
has softer and finer fur. while that Of
the angora is coarser and longer.
But Berry is lost at present. Mrs.
McAlester says he often goes off and
stays two or three days. but he hasn't
been home for more than three weeks,
now, and she is afraid that something
has happened to him. He is 8 years old
and has q very broad space between his
ears. That is another way, according to
Mrs. McAlester, to tell the pedigree of a
cat. The wider the space between the
ears, the finer the cat is supposed to
be. Il could lay my hand between Ber.
rvs ears" Mrs. McAlester said. Berry
was always very affectionate with me,
but he never made friends with Mr.. Nc
Alester. While he used to be very play
full when kitten. he has lost much Of
his playfuless since he is growing
older"

HORSE SUPPLY
IS DECREASING
Mules Are Also on Decline
Tractor Will Not Fill
Need, Says Logan.

We are now apparently facing short
age in horses and mules and the Nilsson
ri farmer should not sell off or get rid Of
all Of his horses, especially the good brood
Mares" says E. A. Logan Of the United
States Bureau Of Markets and Crop Es-
Inmates. The Missouri farmer should
think twice before he sells his good brood
mares or refuses to raise a colt. He had
better keep his stock up TO the necessity
Of the farm and little more as he will
be able to sell them later. Tractors will
never take the place Of horses on the
farm.
Horses do moi look profitable now but
later there will be more Of a demand Tor
them. The farmer, under present condi-
lions should raise his farm power in the
way Of horses and mules rather than buy
a tractor. lie can raise the gasoline the
tractor would need in the form Of cheap
corn and hay. He will not have to lay
out the actual cash for this power he
continued.
IF the farmers continue TO reduce the
horse and mule stock We will wake up
some day and find big shortage. Horses
and mules are not like hogs where con-
ditions can be changed in from one to
five wears. Ii takes from five TO seven
wears to make change in the horse and
mule stock.
r 20, he Inttpd
States in 1920 was 100000. In 1921
il decreased TO 100000 and in Janu-
ary 1922 il was 100000. Although
figures show an increase of 5000 in the
number Of mules in the last two years
our mule stock is practically at stand
still. The mule colts just about take care
Of the stock. II the present tendency
continues. the colts will not be abe to
take care Of the deaths.
The condition of the mule stock in
this state is about the same as in the
nation at large. Missouri is the largest
producer Of mules. The cotton states are
our biggest market for mules and we will
always have a demand from these states
for our mules. II We continue To cut
down the mule breeding business these
buyers will continue TO come and our
stock will become more depleted.
Exact figures from 1890 Missouri
farms show that only onethird Of the
mares Of breeding age are bred to foal
this spring. Out Of this one-third that
are bred only one-third Of this number
will bring horse colts and the remaining
two-thirds Of this number will bring mule
colts. The northern part Of the state
does not have this same proportion al
though in that section there will be more
mule colts than horse colts this year.
Crundy, Livingston. Mercer and Pullman
counties will break about even on the
horse and mule colts.
The farmer who has brood mares
should think about raising horses as il
will take about ten years to replace the
horse stock"

Of transportation agencies and THE

ny WHICH THIS QUESTION WILL
BE MEASURED
The man who spoke these words
defined with exactitude the policy
that must prevail In the future in
dealing with transportation. Es-
peciaily must the west adopt this
policy. which means rellnquishment
OF many OF the old standards and
old traditions. u the west is to
maintain and increase its CONNER

You might think that the open
ing paragraph Is an utterance OF
some participant In the rail un-
merger hearing at Washington. Ger
tainiy no more pertinent utterancN
could enter the record.
But IL IL not. II is q quotation
from the address OF J. N Teal OF
Portland at the recent "open river"

pose OF the conference was to Sc

Teal argues that the waterways
Of the nation should not be dis
eliminated against as carriers. All
forms Of transportation should. and
must. be used to their fullest ex-
tent. he declares and the warfare
on waterways improvements. both
open and concealed. must cease.
This Is a shattering OF the an

tation succeeded the steamboat

Whether this generation of
transportation managers must go

goal can be attained is a question
In Teal's mind.
We would say that the answer
depended upon the transportation
managers themselves. II they are
