to traffic. He is in the way. Few
recall that We owe much to the horse,
much to his fidelity, patience and un-
Outstanding. From colthood to old
age he worked for us. and much Of
the worlds wealth was accumulated
with his help, Few think that to a
workhorse, dulled perhaps by hard
labor. a gentle word, kind voice, a pat
on the neck, an apple, carrot or a
lump of sugar, may mean much.
The milkman still thinks well of the
horse. 1t helps him make the house

horses understanding Of the job puts
the flivver In the shade. The Dairy
mans League News prints an article
on the comparative worth Of the
horse and the automobile in deliver
ing milk and finds for the horse. The
driver gives much less attention to
the horse than to the car. The horse
knows the route, or at least he stops
and starts at a signal. The paper
says that experiments were made
which showed that In a Journey Of
three hours and eleven minutes, de-
livering to more than 200 customers.
the milkman spent only nine and a

going in the right direction until he

while the horse was attending to his

many horses other than the milk

Well. we ought not to have to worry
much about the furnace this season,
| any way. That's something
Now comes the time of shoveling
coal, unless one has some other form
| OF heating device in the basement.
AS for most Of us, plainly, we
haven't. We are going to struggle
| along with the old furnace, for which
we have come to have q great re-
| gard, coal and all.
1t is a faithful, silent iron monster,
sitting patiently in one corner of the
basement. 1t but asks normally de-
cent treatment to do its best, bring
Ing health, happiness and content.
| ment to us upstairs.
The trouble with coal, after all,
was not so much coal DIS the fact
! that one could not get it, or never
was sure he could get it. And when
secured, too often it was Of poor quail
ity. Thus Goals. not coal, per Sc, was
at fault
With happier labor relations this
year. the coalburning furnace ought
to come into it's own again, certainly
| a time-honored place in the majority
Of households.
Those who value peace and quiet
in a home will be loath to part with
| the absolutely noiseless hot-water
plant, for instance. One would never
| know it is in the house. The silence
of the outfit is almost uncanny, caus-
| ing those in whom the sense of won.
der is not lost by the years to feel
the radiator, now and then, in order
! to convince themselves that the sys-
tenn is in operation.
Perhaps the greatest nuisance of
coal Is the ashes. Ashes bring out the
character in a man. Ashes show you
up for what you are. One type of
man takes out the ashes every time
he shakes the furnace. Another
never takes them out till he has to.
Ashes are q nuisance, any way you
look at them. They have q way of
flying around that would win them
high regard If they were airplanes.
The permeating quality of ashes is
marvellous.
Old photograph records stored in
the basement, even when covered
we'll, are found to be coated with ash
es. Every minute groove is filled.
Careless handling, too, will allow
them (ashes) to float all over the
house.
Much Of this nuisance can be re.
moved, however, by a spraying of the
ashes in the pit before they are re-
moved. Without this aid something
can be achieved by a quiet, slow
method of removal.
If the shovel is dashed into the
ashes. and removed with flourish,
the flying particles will battle the
face and hair, as every one knows
who has ever nursed furnace for
any length of time. Sedate motions,
on the other hand, make for a mini.
mum of flying particles.
Expert furnace tenders remove
ashes every time they shake the fire.
and this latter task they do twice a
day, in the morning and evening.
AS we said, it Is a test of char
acter. rather than Of strength.
X X X X
We have also said that the furnace
furnishes health, happiness and con-
tentment.
We hope no one will regard this
as redundancy.
Certainly health and happiness are
not to be confused. While the former
is one of the usual concomitants of
the latter, there are many seemingly
perfectly healthy persons who are
not at all happy, and every one has

The Milk Horse.

It Is pleasant to record a word OF
appreciation for the horse. Many look
on the horse not only as back num-
Der. but as a senseless beast whose
only mission Is to be a creature Of
sport on the race track or plaything
in the show ring and on the saddle
path. Some persons speak well of a
horse Of high degree, a horse with a
string of ancestors whose names are
in a book. That is the aristocratic
horse. II consideration is given at all

One of the best songs was en-
titled Father and Son" to the
tune of Smiles" The first verse
was sung by the boys under the
able leadership of Jack Maher
Junior. His daddy led the Ro-
tarians in the second verse and
then everybody joined in the third
verse.
The luncheon occupied but lit
tie more than an hour. A letter
was read from Jim johnson who
attended a Rotary meeting in Ro-
chester, Minnesota, and who sent
very interesting word picture of
it to President Andrew Miller.
President Andrew Miller at
tended the luncheon of the Mobile
club again this week. On account
of the death of his mother, Vice
President Bob Spottswood was
absent in Jacksonville. Many of
the Rotarians sent him messages of
coincidence and the club sent a
floral offering.
In the absence of both of the
presiding officers, the luncheon
was jointly presided over by
Bugs" Warner, George Perpall
and Sebastian Cabrera, and it was
probably due to the Three-in-One
management that everything ran
so smoothly.
When the meeting finally broke
up and the boys sang "Till We
Meet Again" there was a happy
smile on everybody's face and the
Boys Work Committee, under the
able Craftsmanship of George Per-
pail felt well repaid for the efforts
expended during Boys Week.
