Villager Worships Alone

In the village of Samnaun, Switzer-
land, an old man entered a church a
recent Sunday. He rang the bell and
then, when nobody came, he mounted
the altar ami read a passage from
the Bible. After the lesson he said
prayer and left the church, locking
the door behind him.
Every alternate Sunday for many
years this old man has held such
services He is a Protestant, the only
Protestant in Samnaun. Eighty
years ago half the villagers were
Catholic, half Protestant; they de-
cided to build a church which should
be at the service of each group on
alternate Sundays. They bought a
bell. started a cemetery.
But the Protestants of Samnaun
seemed to prefer the cemetery to the
church. They dwindled away much
faster than the Catholics-so fast
that at last there was only one of
them left, the old man who rings the
bell every other Sunday in the empty
church. calling the phantom parish
oners to worship. He retains his
rights.-New York Times.

Horses Of the West

Oregon has just completed an esti-
mate Of the numbers of wild horses in
that state. The commission having
made this estimate reports at least
200, 600 such animals. Montana has
easily double that number. Wyoming
Is we'll supplied Utah. Nevada and
Arizona have many wandering bands.
The estimated number of wild horses
in the six states mentioned is one
million.
These brutes'are a scrubby lot in the
main, though some exist that are fine
animals. The old breed of mustangs
was incomparably better. Inbreeding is
responsible for much of the degenera-
ton. Where stations invade territory
and drive off the leaders of years,
usurping their lead and bands OF
mares, the breed improves. When a
band holds to one valley and outsid-
ers do not come in, the breed runs out

For evening wear Dame Fashion
has allowed her fancy to run wild.
Many interesting models are dis
played. Some of the favorites are
made of plain velvet, have one strap,
and gold or silver heels. Other
velvet slippers have contrasting
pieces of colored leather appliqued
on the front, giving a harlequin eff

Some of the satin slippers are
embroidered in the most delicate
colorings, while others have rhine
stone heels and trimmings. There
are opera and strap models of silver
and gold lidskin, with the high spike
heels, having tiny mirrors in them.
Some of these slippers have rhine

ELECTRICITY BEST
FRIEND OF FARMER

One of the important uses to which
electricity is being put on the farms
is irrigation. According to engineers
of the General Electric Company, cleo.
trical pumping is superior to other
methods because:
The water is under complete
control of the land owner.
The irrigator is not dependent
on his neighbors.
The water is flowing in an in
slant, day or night.
The machinery has no compli-
Gated parts to keep in repair
There are no boilers to explode.
There is no gasoline tank to
catch on fire.
1t Is cheaper to install.
1t costs less to. operate.
The cost of electricity is grow
ing less every year.
1t is easily and quickly started.
1t is on the job day and night.
It brings power to the barn for
doing the chores.
1t brings light for sudden
emergencies.
1t brings lower insurance rate
on barn and house.
1t brings cool breeze for the
hot summer day.
1t brings a gentle warmth for
chilly spring or autumn days.
1t. brings soft, pleasing light
for the long winter evenings.
It makes the Sabbath day Of
rest for the housewife.
1t brings the possibilities Of
dainty dishes for the invalid.
1t brings more profit, comfort
and pure joy of living to the
farm than any one element of life,

SOMETHING NEW
UNDER THE SUN

An unusual use of telephone service
was recently demonstrated in Rich
mond, Va, when j. c. Lawrence, presi-
lent of large rubber company, eat
ended" conference in that city by
ong distance telephone from Chicago.
Mr. Lawrence was unable to reach
richmond in time to attend sales
mems conference in the offices Of
Richard Gwathmey & Co., local dis.
ributors for his firm, because Of a
rain wreck Not wishing to delay the
difference, he Immediately arranged
nth the telephone company for long
distance line to Richmond
The telephone company arranged
,or quick installation of special ap.
paratus, Including eleven headsets, at
Richmo nd, the headsets being so con-
nected that each man at the confer.
ence could hear Mr.. Lawrence from
Chicago.
The conference was conducted by
E. C. Toone, secretary-treasurer of the
Richmond Company. Mr. Toone con-
verse1 with Mr.. Lawrence, and then
Mr.. Lawrence made his talk, which
continued for forty-seven minutes.
All the statesmen heard clearly, and
the conference was considered as sue
cessful as if Mr.. Lawrence had been
there in person. All questions Of the
statesmen were relayed by Mr.. Toone,
as he was the only member Of the
conference in Richmond equipped to
talk to Mr.. Lawrence.
1t is believed that this is the first
conference held over so long tele-
phone circuit, and requiring special
facilities. It's Importance was due to
the fact that the Richmond company
was making it's annual special drive
for business, and Mr.. Lawrence wanted
RI discuss the rubber situation with
them.

in the best condition at the end Of
the day.
By treating old Dobbin fairly, get
ting him ready for spring work with
daily exercise; keeping him thoroughly
groomed, especially while shedding.
and a work ration instead of his
winter feed will pay big dividends in
a short time.
If the horse takes a long time to
shed his coat, this can be facilitated
by thorough, frequent grooming and
if this does not do the work, a clipping
all over will get him through the she'd
ding period quickly. After the horse
has started to work in the field, it is
advisable to battle the shoulders and
neck two or three times daily with
cold, soft, salty water or with white
oak bark tea which toughens and
cleanses the chafed parts.
A prominent veterinarian states
that excessive sweating is remedied
by clipping the horse. Excessive
sweating weakens the animal and it is
doubtless quite advisable to clip him
to relieve this condition. 1t is also
true that this practice enables the
horse to be thoroughly groomed in
much less time than when it retains
it's long winter coat of shaggy hair.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1926-04-16

Progress in farm field work in the
coming months depends largely on the
condition Of the work horses. Soft
from the winters rest, farm work
horses require conditioning just as an
athlete requires training for his test.
Every farmer knows that two or
three weeks spent in a gradual tough
ening and conditioning of a horse for
the heavy work is more than made up
before the season of heavy field work
is over. Not only does this condition
ing include breaking them in to the
long hours of hard pull that they
must undergo, but applies as well to
breaking them in to a working ration.
It is poor practice to allow a horse
to pasture on much new lushy grass
If he is to go on a strenuous work
schedule. A little grass is good for
him, helps to condition him, but he
must have oats, bran or old corn, or
still better, combination of the three
and good sound hay. These are the
best possible rations in the spring and
early summer. The horse that is fed
a major ration of grass soon gets soft,
sweats profusely, lags and quickly
plays out. Oats, bran, corn and hay
will give him stamina and leave him
