DECLINE OF HORSES
SHOWN BY STATISTICS

Statistics seem to indicate that the
automobile, the tractor and the truck
are gradually bringing the American
horse to the verge of race suicide.
According to figures compiled by
the Chicago Tribune there are now
II, 100000 horses in the United States
while in 1918 there were as many as
q 100000. Not only this, but the
number of mules has decreased 10 per
cent since 1920 and the average age Of
horses and mules now in existence is
greater than formerly. Forty-three
per cent of all horses on the farms
are ten years of age or older, while
but II per cent are under four years
of age. This shows that colt produc-
tion has dropped off, and it is said
that only about one-half as many
were foaled in 1924 as in 1918
But the decline in number has not
increased the value per head. For
the average value of horses has drop
ped from $97 five years ago to $63 at
the present time In Missouri are
only 10000 horses as against 906,000
a year ago and the average value per
head IS but S46 In Kansas four years
ago there were million horses. Now
the number has dropped to $4,000.
The general decline in the number
and value of horses is blamed on the
gasoline motor. All experts however,
do not regard the situation as pessi-
mistic from the standpoint of the
horse. Some authorities believe that
the country is on the verge of horse
shortage and that higher prices viii
prevail within the next few years.
The automobile seems to have sup
planted old Dobbin to a considerable
extent, but it is too early to say that
Dobbin's day has passed. He is still
a pretty useful and reliable creature

tie were Is to Is cents higher today
and most classes sold more readily
than last week. The general tone in
the trade was improved Receipts
were below expectations, and the
cooler weather may give pasturemen
a chance to hold for a general rain.
Hogs broke sharply, the largest loss
being in the lightweight classes that
have been selling at a big premium
over other weights. Sheep and lambs
were quoted weak to rs cents lower.
Today's Receipts
Receipts today were 21 600 cattle,
$500 hogs, and 10000 sheep, compared

year ago.
Beef Cattle

better tone than late last week and in
a few cases sales were considered

The women appreciate the
fact that it will be more difficult
to make it a crime to use tobac

smoking, gradually extending

IN FINE SHAPE

The Wall Street Journal de-
clares that the Baltimore & Ohio
is in such excellent financial con-
dition that the regular dividend
of S5 a share on common stock
will probably be increased in
December.
In addition to earning around
$40 a share on its common in
1925, the b. & O. will retire at
least 5000 Of its obsolete freight
cars and eXpend from 81, 100000
to $5,000,000 on modern substi-
tutes.
The company can, therefore,
start 1926 with all its physical
property in good condition and
its financial slate clean of all
old problems for the first time
in many years." says the Jour
nal.

DR.. J. A. Ryan :.
Advises Public
Coal Control
Pooling of Expenses and Unified
Operation Is Solution; Miners
Demands Fair

Washington - Public ownership,
pooling Of expenses and unified oper-
alton Of the mines is the only sOlu-
ton of the anthracite problems, ac-
cording to the Rev. John A. Ryan, D.
D., noted economist Of the Catholic
University.
DR.. Ryan presented his views to the
National Council of Congregational
Churches which met in Washington
recently.
The source of the anthracite evil,
according to DR.. Ryan, is the fact
that while all the mines are needed
to supply the public, in some it costs
less to produce than in others.
A fair price for the anthracite
mines, he said, would be $500, 900,
the book value established in 1913 by
the u. S. Coal Commission. This in
Guided at least 100000 of "un-
earned increment"
DR.. Ryan said the demands of the
anthracite workers "are obviously
Justified" Even the unskilled labor
ers are "clearly entitled to living
wage" Official reports show that in
the anthracite region this is about
81 500 a year. In the face of that
fact, several thousand unskilled lab
orers are getting less than 400 a
year.
Those anthracite workers who are
getting more than $1,500 are entitled
to an increase because Of the "haz-
ardous character of the occupation" F"
said DR.. Ryan.
DR.. Ryan said the property should
be taken over by either the Federal
government on the state of Pennsyl-
vania.
Through consolidation, he believed,
wages could be increased and the
price to consumers decreased.

Here is a Wall Street Journal
sidelight on the gigantic bread
merger that the A. F. Of L. asks

"A New England baker who
received 10000 shares Of a big
baking company in exchange for
his company several years ago,
died recently and his 10000
shares had a value in excess Of
$2,000,000. At the time he took
the shares of the big company in
exchange for his little company,
the stock was worth about $780,

SECRETARY Of the Treasury Mellon
is expected to resign during the
next few months, after the foreign
debt tangle is cleared up. Mellon, it
is gossiped, wants to leave behind
him as his outstanding achievement,
the funding Of the colossal sums loan
ed the Allies during and after the
war. The French and Italian debts
remain the only drawback to the real
ization Of such an ambition. 1t is re-
called that Mellon made desperate eff
forts to reach an agreemnt with the
French debt commission. When it
appeared probably that the confer
ence would break up without an
agreement, it was Mellon who pre-
sented the proposal calling for five
annual payments Of $40,000,000 as in
terest on the debt, after which a new
conference would be held Undersec-
retary Of the Treasury Winston is
among the many mentioned as poss-
ible successors to Mellon.

Mellon seeks a reduction Of 25

THE entrance Of Charles Evans
Hughes into the New York politi-
cal arena, through his support of Re-
publican candidates, has again given
rise to gossip that he will be a candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1923. Reports that he
may oppose Senator Wadsworth for
the senatorial nomination in 1926 are
largely discounted. Hughes would
have little to gain and much to lose
he would not turn down a Republican
in such a race. His friends believe
nomination for the presidency but
Hughes is too good a politician to en-
ter the race unless the nomination is
reasonably assured. For that reason
it is expected that Hughes will studi-
ously refrain from committing him
self until he can tell which way the
wind is blowing.
