Malay Quick to Resent
Hurt to Personal Pride

Personal pride and the emotion of
love are the most frequent causes
Of murders in the Philippines,
leading strangers to conclude that
life is lightly held and murder is
committed over mere trivialties.
The current police calendar would
confirm that opinion. Over love, an
intermediate schoolgirl stabbed her
Classmate, another girl, to death
with 46 wounds-veritably cutting
her body to pieces, and the Juvenile
murderess seemed scarcely per-
turbed when arrested, confessing
all. Over personal pride a peasant
slew household, four persons,
man, wife, and their two children,
with his bolo. Given to drinking,
he was making drunkard's bolster
Gus headway past the house. The
man, thinking to shame him. scold-
ed him from the window overlook
ing the street, and called him "un
borrachin," common drunkard.
Less than five minutes later he had
wiped out the family. A Malay is
never to be safely insulted in the
presence or hearing Of third parties.

HORSE BUSINESS
IS COMING BACK
Breeders Have Been Timid
to Resume Operations.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Whether the horse continues to
decline in numbers by reason of
displacement by the motor car and
tractor, or not, the horse business
is due for better times, in the Opin-
ion Of J. o. Williams Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The number of horses on the farms
of the country declined in 1928 to
the lowest point yet recorded, but
the market stiffened or advanced.
Mr.. Williams points out that for
several years farmers have been
breeding and raising only about
half as many colts as are required
for replacement of the diminished
number of work animals in use.
inferior horses of all types are
a drag on the market, and undoubt-
edly will continue to be So" says
Mr.. Williams. "But the difficulty
with the horse and mule situation
in recent years has been largely
psychological. Breeders of horses
and mules have wondered whether
there would ever be a recurrence
in demand for work stock and have
been timid about resuming breed
ing operations. This has resulted
in the present shortage of good
work and pleasure animals, stu
alton which promises to become
much more acute within the next
few years. We believe that farm
ers should now study their farm
power situation; those who will
continue to use horses and mules
can now replace aging animals with
young stock before an acute short
age occurs.
That farmers are beginning to
realize this situation is reflected by
a study the Department of Agricul-
ture recently made of the number
Of stations and jacks in service in
"a states. The number of these has
declined sharply in recent years,
but owners in some localities re-
ported that last year witnessed
considerable increase in the number
of mares bred.
