Cart I. Vlaih, Druggist day was so violent at Odell that the water was running over the board walk at Crosby's last Sunday evening. A tree fell on the electric wires and there were no lights for the churches, which fact combined with the storm caused no meetings to be held at eith er church at night. It was not a night to expose horses to such a storm. Miss Helen Bush, who lived with Mrs. E. E. Gould last summer, died at Portland last week, after an illness of only a week. She was buried by the side of her father at Kelso, Wash. She was only 18 years of age at the time of her death. Helen had a very sweet disposition and her untimely death is deeply regretted.

MAKES A PLEA IN BEHALFJF HORSES Editor, the News: ""Show me the laws of a Etate for the prevention of cruelty to animals and in turn win give you a correct estimate f the re finement, enlightenment, integrity and equity of that commonwealth's peo ple." Among the many complaints to the Humane Society is one oft repeated, which it would seem that a common- sense, not to say humane policy should render unnecessary. I refer to the complaints regarding the under feeding and overworking. ' It must be evident to even the most careless of owners, that a horse cannot do good work for any continued length of time without the proper amount of food at proper (intervals; and we must not forget that the horse has compara tively a small stomach and requires therefor a greater time for eating. This fact must also be taken into con sideration, that a ctrtain amount of food is required to keep an animal warm, therefor, the warmer the win ter quarters, the lets food required A horse or cow in a cold drafty stable is going to need more food than one in more comfortable quarters. A blank et adds greaily to their comfort and efficiency. A cow, cold or underfed is not going to give the largest pos sible quantity of milk. This does not mean an expensive woolen blanket Some old sacks with a Uiin layer of newspapers tacked between adds grea'ly to their comfort and to that extent lowers the feed bill. A well disposed woman recently said "If my horse was very hungry It would neigh and let me know." But as a matter of fact, It is not the abused and half-starved horse that whinnies and restlessly stmps when It hears its master's step in the morning. It is the horse whose manger has always been well-filled, and has always re ceived a pl"asiit word that listens for the well known footstep, and greets It with a nickor of delight. This Soci ty is willing and anxious to do all it can, but its funds are lini lted, and it sometimes requires an ex penditure of time and money to get at the real facta of conditions reported, and it is hoped that during the com ing winter owners will make a decided effort to see that the animals In their care will be kept warm and comfort able. The increased willingness and efficiency will certainly more than re pay the extra expense and care given them. HARRIET M. FORDING, Secretary Humane Society. CLASSIFIED ADS.
