RELIEF DRIVE
CLOSES HERE
City Raises Only Little More
than Half of Its Quota
$3716 Donated

Far below their quota the local
chapter of American Red Cross
closed their drive for the earth
quake sufferers in Japan yesterday
with a total of ~$3,716.15. The quota
for this city was $500.
Two amounts of $1,000 have been
forwarded to the national headquar-
tiers of the Red Cross and the final
sum will be sent in a few days. Con-
tributions are still being received at
the local headquarters and although
the drive is over, donations will be
taken at all times.
What is believed by the local
headquarters to be one reason for
the quota not being reached in this
city, Is the fact that the large plants
and factories here contributed to
the drive from their main Offices in
other cities. Several of the large
corporations having branch Offices
in this city did not donate locally
an amount covering every branch
office was pledged to the city in
which the main headquarters was
stationed. The following is the list
of the contributions received yes

1920 with that of 1910. The 1920 census shows the number of horses mot on farms" in 1920 atI 1.705,0O0 against 3,182,0O0 in 1910, ai decrease of 46%o in the ten year period ending with 1920 while th31 annual decrease since 1920 is presI sufnably even more rapid than that of the decade ending with 1920. :.
 The decrease in use of the horse has been much more rapid in the cities and towns than in the rural, areas, as shown by the fact that while the number of horses on. farms decreased 7Go in the decade ending with 1922, the number not on farms" decreased 4o@o in the decade ending with 1920.
 This big fall off in the number of horses would probably have been even greater but for the fact thst' we of the United States do not res gard the horse as food animalr and the present generation of horses is thus permitted to pass out of existence by the natural process rather than by slaughters ing cm for food as is often done in certain other countries.
 That the decrease in the number and value of horses Is closely req lated to the increased use of the automobile in its various forms is evidenced by the fact that the number of motor vehicles regis- tered in the United States has in- creased from 17lI339 n 1894 to 12.721245 in 1922.

That the horse is being slowly but surely displaced by the automooiles and farm tractor IS agaln eVldenGeo 1 by the annual statement ot the De- partment of Agriculture as to the number of animals on farms 1n the RUnited States on January l, 1925. Horses again show a fall III num- Der and aggregate value as mas been the case in each year since 1918 while all other animals show an increase in both number ana value when comparing the figures of January 1, 1923 with those O. the same date of last year.
