HORSE AND MULE
REGISTRATION IS
SET FORGOUNTY
Western Remount Head
quarters Requests List
County Agent Powered.
a most desirable step in our de
fense preparations. Registration
of animals at this time is valun
tary but obviously a patriotic
obligation."
Registration for military serv
ice of all horses and mules in
Jackson county, between the
ages of three and 10 years, will
be made by County Agent Rob
ert G. Fowler, acting under in
structions from the Western
Army Remount headquarters at
San Mateo, Calif. The registra
tion to include Oregon, Califor
nia, Nevada and Washington,
ends January 10.
Lt.-Col. F. W. Koester In
charge of the registration, in a
statement said:
"Experience of the present
war shows the horse and mule
still essential for a variety of
uses in modern armies. Ger
many has thus far employed
something like a million, Japan
has used large numbers in China
and Russia currently is winning
large scale successes with mount
ed units or units otherwise em
ploying horses.
"In our domestic life of the
near future horses may be most
vital. Curtailment of produc
tion of power driven farm mach
inery and transportation, restric
tions on use of various fuels or
lubricants, actual shortages of
certain essentials, greater de
mands on agriculture and similar
conditions present or possibly
Imminent, make future and
greater importance of the horse
likely.
"America has more well bred
useful horses and mules than
any country in the world. We
can use them and may need
them anywhere anytime."
Animal owners are asked to
give age, color, whether riding
' or driving type, broken or un
broken and whether or not
necessary for owner's own use.
The statement concludes:
"It is desired to emphasize that
this is not a draft of animal re
sources and that it seems most
unlikely this will ever be neces
sary. When horses or mules are
needed they will be purchased.
Prompt registration of animals
of a useful military age is simply

Composure was the word for
most stock market leaders to
day in the face of discouraging,
if hardly surprising, war news
from the Philippines.
While oils were relatively
weak, some losing 2 points at
the worst, mail orders revived,
along with rails, steels, farm Im
plements and assorted special
ties. Gains of fractions to 2 or
so predominated at the close.
Transfers were around 450,000

Commant on Mr. Eldradga's
Lattar
. To the editor:
Mr. Eldredge's communication
of December 26th, shows he was
on the right track eight or nine
years ago, but it seems he was
side-tracked. Now as I under
stand the principles of the New
Deal, It is supposed to give the
people any and all the promises
they want in exchange for their
support when the government
wants it, and as far as I can
learn, our government has never
broken any of the promises it
has given, neither has it made
any of them good, and as long
as it doesn't try to make any of
them good, how can it break
any of its promises?
Mr. Eldredge also leaves the
Impression that Mr. Roosevelt
knew there was going to be a
war in Europe months ago. I
didn't know there was any one
who did not know it years ago,
when we guaranteed to protect
China and then let the Japs take
Manchukuo we had to take It
back so we could give It back to
the Chinamen didn't we? Or are
you contending that our word Is
no better than our navy seemi to
be. Now Brother, let me tell you
this, our President had the
known U. S. A. emblem on his
Christmas dinner table, the lit
tle white navy bean, but he
didn't say he would eat any of
them, so don't accuse him of
something he did not do.
As far as Mr. Churchill say
ing he tells his people the truth,
I'd like to remind you of this
one. Our forefathers paid John
Bull with their blood for the
U. 8 A., Just because they re
fused to pay the tax John Bull
put on them, and we are giving
it back to John Bull for a little
I ot John Bull's bull.
As you say we could all work
I 'or our keep and take the profits
out of war, so as not to leave
; a debt for our children to pay;
oui it mai was done just how
could our government control
that on the meal tickets? I
waived exemption in the world
war and even was asked to buy
my own clothes which I did, and
have already signed over what 1
have accumulated since tha
world war, that is, all but the
mortgage on my place, for some
reason the government didn't
want that, but if I carry a gun
In this one there will Just be an
awful lot of congressmen and
both 10, 15 and 120,000-a-year
men In my company.
Here's hoping that It won't
be long before all the repre
sentatives In Washington can
have their places filled with
women from the basement to the
attic of the White House.
