PROVES HORSES
CHEAPEST WAY
TO DELIVER ICE
Horse Sense Is Mon
ey Saver, Says w.
Dins71ore.

Peoria, Ill, March Horses and
horse drawn equipment have a de-
cided advantage over any type of
motorized equipment yet devised
when it comes to delivering ice,
Wayne Dinsmore. secretary of the
Horse Association of America said
today in an address before the Illi-
nois-W Wisconsin Ice Dealers asso-
citation here.
Horses will save money for ice
dealers because of lower initial
cost" he said, "less- expensive <op-
GRAFTON, longer life with consequent
lessened depreciation and because
the intelligence of the horse makes
it possible for him to learn a route
quickly and to move from place to
place without attention from the
driver. Horse sense saves money
for ice dealer and housewife alike,
and helps to make possible that
careful, courteous attention in ice
deliveries which builds good will
and permanent prosperity for the
ice dealer involved"
Cost S2.67 Daily.
The average cost of 4 horse in
one day for 1919, Mr.. DinsmOre said,
quoting statistics worked out by six
large teaming companies, amounted
to $2.67, including every conceiva-
BILE item of expense, overhead and
epreciation-ever in fact
that the companies themselves and
the auditor could think of to charge
in" These figures, he explained,
were based on the cost of upkeep
of 992 horses. Similar statistics
kept by another firm employing 600
horses in delivery service were
practically the same, he said
Motor Costs $5.76.
"The operating costs on auto
trucks of a similar capacity" he
said, including gasoline, oil and
grease, tires, storage, repairs, in
surance and taxes, just as was done
in computing the cost of upkeep of
horses, amounted to mini
mum of $576 per day up to
S7.65 per day on auto trucks COM
parable with the one-horse delivery
wagons and from a minimum of
1929 to S23 per day in the case of
5-ton trucks comparable with the
2-horse delivery wagon"
Mr.. Dinsmore quoted from state
ments of managers of more than a
score of ice companies in which the
horse was preferred to the automo-
bile in the delivery of ice

Washington, d. c., March l.
Canada today made her first move
to forestall unfavorable action by
the American congress in tariff re-
w S. Fielding. Canadian minister of
w. S. Fflding, Canadian minister of
finance, and one of the men who ne
gotiated the ill-fated reciprocity
agreement of 1911, has taken up
with the department of state here
through the good offices of the Brit
ish embassy the question of arriv-
ing at an understanding on recip-
rocal trade.
Mr.. Fielding himself does not dis
Cuss his visit, preferring to make
his inquiries informally and with
out publicity. But the situation
which brings Mr.. Fielding here is of
the greatest Importance to the rela-
tions of the two countries and is
comparable indeed to the events of
1911 when President Taft, follow
ing the precept of another Repub-
lican president, William Mckinley,
offered Canada the hand of friend
ship through a reciprocity trade
agreement. The American con-
gress ratified that agreement,
passing a law providing for reci-
procity but through a series of mis-
understanding inside Canada, the
Canadian parliament failed to do it's
part.
Inasmuch as it was Canada
which blocked reciprocity IN 1911
the feeling of the Liberal party
which has Just come in power al
Ottawa under Mckenzie King is that
Canada should make the first move
in showing her willingness to go
through with the 1911 agreement.
Curiously enough the act of 1911
was never repealed and remained on
the statute books of the American
congress. The house of represen-
tatives once passed bill proposing
a repeal but it never passed the
American senate. So if Canada
should do now what she failed to
do in 1911 the reciprocity agree
ment would promptly go into effect
between Canada and the United
States.
But under the terms of the orig
inal understanding each country
was to pass concurrent legislation
and it is hardly likely that the Can
adian parliament would take action
if it appeared that the American
congress might repeal the reciproc-
. ity act as indeed is now proposed
in the Fordney tariff bill.
That bill would automatically re-
peal all previous tariff arrange
ments, but it would empower the
president to negotiate new reci-
procity agreements with any nation.
Canada's viewpoint is that il
would be far better to make an ex-
ception of the act of 1911 and leave
it on the statute books so that the
parliament at Ottawa might put iii
into effect than to negotiate a new
agreement involving the re-opaniug
of all sorts of questions. The de
sire for reciprocity in Canada is
now intense. The farmer group and
the Liberal party go hand in hand
on that issue and together they
control majority in the Ottawa
parliament
But the viewpoint of the agricul-

INSTITUTION
WILL. REMAIN
At ABINGDON
College Guaranteed 5000,
900 Fund by Home
City.

On final ballot taken early this
morning, trustees OF Hedding COL
lege, Abingdon, in session at Gales
burg, rejected Rock Islands offer
Of $500 600 for the removal of the
institution TO this city and voted
to maintain the college at Abing-
don.
Through the Commercial club the
city of Abingdon guarantees to
raise 100000 and to turn over to
the college authorities an endow-
ment fund of $4,000, which hither-
10 was revertible to the donors if
the Institution removed its location
elsewhere.
With the guaranteed fund, total
ing $350,000 by reason of the addi-
tional endowment fund, now releas-
ed, new gymnasium will be built
for 100000, and a like sum spent
for the erection of science hall
to fill the college requirements
Abingdon citizens furthermore
informed the college trustees that
while they would guarantee $780,
900 besides releasing the endow-
ment they would set their goal at
$500, 600.
Proposed Merger.
The question of location was
finally decided on the issue of
merging the college with Illinois
Wesleyan at Bloomington, or re-
naming at Abingdon.
A. n. Legg, president of the board
Of trustees of Illinois Wesleyan, ac-
companied by Rev. w. E. Shaw,
Rev. W. J. Davidson, Rev. c. M.
Duncan and Rev. John Ryan, rep
resenting the Illinois and Central
Illinois conferences, attended the
meeting of the board and support
ed the proposition to effect a mer-
ger with Illinois Wesleyan. 1t soon
became apparent that a majority
of the trustees were opposed to the
merger, and on the first ballot the
board voted II to IL for accept
ance of Rock Islands proposal.
After discussion this action was re-
considered, and by vote of IL to
10, the Abingdon offer was accept
ed two trustees who had previous
ly voted for the acceptance of the
Rock Island offer, refusing to vote.
The trustees went in session al
1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
adiourning at o'clock for dinner.
Recovering after the meal, the
board remained in session until 8
o'clock this morning, at which
hour, on final ballot, the Abingdon
offer was accepted.
