REVIVED DEMAND FOR
DRAFT HORSES SHOWN

People are waking up to the econ
amy of horses for all short haul de-
livery work according to Paul Con-
nelley, a Well known Philadelphia
horse dealer. He says: "Trade was
better last year than in years and
prospects are fully as bright for this
year.
"The increase in demand for ex-
ira good draft horses has shown a
marked increase for two years and
would increase faster if more stables
were available. The practice of con-
v%erting livery stables into garages
has been greatly overdone and the
boarding stables are getting extra
rates for boarding and renting hor-
ses for small firms.
"About 80 per cent of all COM
modities in Philadelphia can be

moved more economically by horses
Firms which use horses most largely
are those which deal in milk, coal
bread, ice cream, laundry, peddling
hauling goods from wharves and rail
roads, or others whose work involves
frequent stops"
Reports from the United States
Department of Agriculture bear out
Mr.. Connelly's statement. Market
reports just issued, covering 81 of
the principal markets of the U. S.
show that while in 1921 there were
only 317,445 horses and mules sold
at these markets, in 1922 the number
increased to 442,646, a gain of 1874
per cent.
The Horse Association of America
states that reports received from
the principal cities in the United
States and Canada indicate a strong
and growing sentiment in favor of
horse use among city business men
and an increasing demand for quail

Governor Given Nominating PoWer-Long Unsuccess-
 full In Fight
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD
 Mnnf0ofl1e cry Ala Sent ,


 Alabama will have highway com mission of three men who will be elected by the legislature upon the nomination of the governor if the senate accepts substitute for the Foster highway bill which was passed by the house of representatives after lively contest Friday.
 Under the terms of the bill Cover nor Brandon will send the names of three persons to the legislature as nominees for chairman and the names Of SIX persons as nominees for as- sociate members The legislature rom this list of names will elect the chairman and two associate members. The chairman of the new commission. according to the bill, will be paid s6,O00 and the associate members $500 each. One of the associate members will be designated as com missioner of construction and the other commissioner of maintenance, while the chairman of the commission will have general supervision over the work of the department.
 In adopting an amendment provid- ing for the election of the highway commission by the legislature. the house acted upon the statement of Representative Alfred M .Tunstall of Hale that Governor Brandon prefers this method rather than the oiu method of direct appointment by the governor.
 Long Makes Fight.
 The substitute which received the approval of the house was offered by Representative Tyler Goodwin of Montgomery. When it was presented Representative J. Lee Long and other supporters of a commission composed of one member of each congressional district, renewed their fight for the large commission. Mir. Long offered an amendment provid- ing for the large personnel, but it was laid on the table by vote of 51 to 39. Mir. TunstalPs amendment put ting the election of the commission in the hands of the legislature was adopted and the house passed the bill by vote of 65 to 13.
 The bill as passed by the senate provided for a commission of three men who would be named by the gov ernor since the governor has re- quested the change and since the or- iginal bill was introduced by Senator J. NJ Foster, one of the administra- tion leaders on the floor of the sen ate, the passage of the bill by the house probably will bring an end to the fight over the highway commits sion.
 After the highway bill was disposed of the house took up the general agricultural code, which was reported with a large number of amendments by the agricultural committee.
 The clerk read several pages of the bill when a member made a motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock Tuesday, which was adopted by a large ma jority,
