There seems to be a trend back to the tarns all over the country. Twenty years ago when Europe we* at war and this nation was also tn. there was a demand tor horses and mules and for feed and other supplies. Now the trout is motorised and the* need rubber tires and gasoline If they could use robots for men. we would have a real streamlined war and millions ot lives could be saved.
