The star has opportunity. it is

he is perfectly familiar. as he was at
one time, years ago. himself an as
pfrant for honors in the prize ring.
His role is that of an ex-fighter who
through force of circumstances is
compelled to assume the position of
third man in the ring. His natural
inclinations are upright and his
sportsmanship above reproach. The
element always present in profess
sional sport. however. fail to grasp
this trait in the mans character. and
so confronts him with the alterna-
tive of being crooked or of taking the
long way around and achieving an
honorable success by dint of constant
effort and many hard knocks. The de-
cision is instantly to take the straight
road. And then the real drama be-
gins. with girl in it, of course. and
many romantic touches to add charm
to the play.

Horse Shortage Follows Big Decline
In Breeding

The breeding of farm mares has
decreased about rs per cent since
1915, according to w. S. Anderson,
member of the CollegeSof Agricul-
ture animal husbandry department.
This fact is seen as one of the
most important causes for short
age of good draft horses and mules
which already exists and which may
become more serious during the next
few years. There are plenty of nom
descript and poor types of horses
and mules but the small supply OF
better-type animals indicates an OPP
portunity for the farmer to increase
his profits by breeding mares for
the production of colts that can fill
the demand. he said.
A decided increase in the number
of horses and mules that are used
under certain conditions for haul
ing and delivery work has contribut-
ed toward bringing about the short
age which should be increased with
the foreign demand that will come
as soon as international commerce
assumes a more normal status, 1t is
said This reduction in the cost of
horses and mules together with a
drop in the price of feeds are
economic factors that also will tend
to make the shortage more acute.
At the present time, the wagon
horse. standing about 16 hands high
and weighing from 1,400 to 1900
pounds, is most In demand, bringing
a price of from $3.50 to 1925 head.
Draft horses standing between 16
and II hands high and weighing
from 100 to 1000 pounds are
bringing slightly higher prices large
ly because there are fewer of them.
Under existing conditions. indica-
tions are that horse and mule
breeders have a brighter day coming
and it is expected that the breeding
of farm and grade mares will in
crease rapidly as farmers see the
opportunity for profit. Mr.. Anderson
said. III
