medicines, and blankets to the
wounded.
Italians say that mules were in
valuable during the 1911-12 war
against Turkey for possession of
Libya in North Africa. Some of the
animals were even decorated for
valor, and the story is told of one
faithful beast which escaped from
the Turks after capture and re-
turned to its Italian masters, wound
ed but still bearing its artillery pack.
From time immemorial mules
have been bred and worked in Eu-
rope, especially in the mountain re-
gions of France, Spain, and Italy.
Sometimes, instead of serving in the
lowly occupations of farm and trade,
they were used by royalty to pull
the royal coaches. Decked out in
brilliantly colored trappings, the
mule in Ethiopia was considered the
proper mount for the upper classes.
BY the decoration of his mule, the
rank of the rider often could be de-
termined.
In 1905 the United States had more
than two and a half million mules.
BY 1926, the peak of mule produc-
ton was reached with nearly 6,000,-
900 mules and mule colts. Since
then, due to the invasion of the farm
by tractors, trucks, automobiles,
and other farm machinery, Uncle
Sans mule population has declined
| to a little less than four and hal
millions. However, the decline is
expected to be halted within a few
years, as result of increasing coll
! production and other factors.
