USE OF HORSES
ON FARMS GAINS
Holding His Place Against Prog
ress of Automobile.
816 INCREASE IN TEN'YEARS
Department of Agriculture Statistic*
Show 21,100,000 on United Statei
Farm* on January 1, 1920— Next ti
Man He Is Most Efficient Powei
Unit In Existence —Horse Impor
tance Realized.
The horse is coining back In a las
struggle to hold his p|ace against tin
progress of the automobile, tractor
truck and airplane. The departmen
of agriculture estimates that horses ot
United States farms increased froir
19,833,000 in 1910 to 21,100,000 or
January 1, 1920. Mules increased, too
according to the estimates.
The Horse Association of America
with headquarters in Chicago, pro
poses to encourage the breeding, rear
ing and use of horses. The association
which is a nonprofit organization, in
corpornted under the laws of Illinois
is backed by horse breeders represent
ing nil breeds of horses, by the sad
dlery and harness interests, by tin
horseshoe manufacturers and mastei
horseshoers, by the hay, grain nnc
feed interests and by the carriage am
. wagon builders of America.
Efficiency Next to Man.
"The horse is—next to man himseli
—the most efficient power unit in exist
ence, delivering more effective motive
, energy in proportion* to energy con
sumed than any other type of motive
power unit when the work done as i
self-reproducing, self-repairing organ
ism, is taken into account,” declarec
Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the as
sociatlon.
“Millions of horses have worked
; from the time they were three yean
old, until they were twelve years ot
age without the expenditure of a dol
lar for repairs,” Mr. Dinsmore said
"The horse carries a reserve powei
which the truck doesn’t hnve, nnc
therefore does not often get stuck in t
tight place like the motor vehicle.”
Mr. Dinsmore said the horse can d<
short-haul work Just as rapidly as
truck and from 25 to 40 per cem
cheaper.
During the recent snowstorm In New
Tork when every means of moving
traffic was said to hnve faih J but the
horse, the horsemen declare some mer
chants paid as high as SSO a day foi
the use of the horse.
Horse Importance Realized.
The government realizes the impor
tance of the horse, Mr. Dlnsmore said,
i and has sent out bulletins encouraging
'horse breeding.
Teamsters and teaming contractor*
nowadays want large and heavy horses
and are willing to pay for them. They
,are paying as high as SBOO for a team
of heavy drafters. Many of the large
concerns have written the association
that they must have horses for theii
short-haul work.
The officers of the horse association
are: President W. D. Dunham,
(Wayne, 111.; vice-presidents, John W
Gaver, St Paul, Minn., and Clen Per
rine, Cincinnati; treasurer, George S.
(Bridge, and secretary, Wayne Dlns
more, both of Chicago.
Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Kentucky, Nebraska, Indiana and Mis
.sourl are represented on the board ot

: DEER DOES AERIAL ACT
* , e
Crosse* High Trestle on Ties, Thril
ling Watchers.
No circus ever staged a more thril
4ing animal performance than was
witnessed on the trestle of the New
England railway near Forest View
cemetery, at Wlnsted, Conn., when r
deer crossed the structure on the tie*
!ln view of ninny spectators, crossed
ISouth Main street and climbed a steer
bank to the track. At the trestle, 3(
feet above ground and 75 feet long
the animal hesitated, then stnrtoc
across. Once it missed its footing
and seemed to be wedged between tlie
ties, but struggled to its feet and
finished the perilous Journey, then dis
appeared In the direction of High
land Park.
A hound, which had evidently been
chasing the deer, soon appeared and
also crossed the railroad trestle.
BALDHEADS ARE PROUD
Won’t Furnish Names to Manufactur
ers of Restorers.
The Baldhead Head Club of Amer
ica Is going to stay bald. Its founder,
John Rodemeyer of Greenwich, Conn.,
absolutely declined to furnish a list
of names of the hairless wonders who
make up the club to any of the numer
ous Inventors and manufacturers of
hair restorers who have applied for
such a list
Doctor Rodemeyer based his refusal
on ethical grounds. Moreover, he de
clared It was held to be an honor to
belong to the club, and no member
would lightly trade the honor of mem
bership for anew head of hair.
Believed Dead Two Year*; Lives.
Although Edward Lainond Is very
much alive and at present living In
California, Felix Laraond, of Mnrl
ooro. Mass., his father, has Just been
informed by the war department that
lie died on October 15, 1918, from
Wounds received in France. • _

WAVING TIIE HAIR
DAILY I find a half dozen or so of
letters in my mail, containing a
request for something that will make
the hair wavy. Asa general thing I
answer that, while there are various
curling fluids on the market, they are
unsatisfactory', though quite harmless.
I know' the recipe for two of them, and
know that in some cases, the mixture
will make the hnir wavy, but in other
cases it has no effect at all, due to the
varying formation of the hair cells,

and the w-ay in which each hair
grows from the head. I never really
advise it.
Asa general thing, the sort of hair
that one is born with is the kind most
becoming to the owner’s face. In this
generation, wavy hair is held as the
most beautiful, so every woman de
sires it, though it is unbecoming to
many types of faces. A century ago,
long straight hair was considered far
more lovely, and no doubt all the
curly-huired women wet und soaped
their locks to remove the offending
wave.
If you must curl your hair, don’t
use a hot iron. By the time the iron
is hot enough to contract the sides of
the hair and draw it into a curl, it is
hot enough to hurt the hair itself. Use
rag or soft kid curlers, rolling strands
of the hair around them, and letting
It stay so over night, or for several
hours, while you cover the unbecoming
effect with a boudoir cap.
