“The record of the mule through the world war has been such as to reflect much credit upon tbe dam, tbe farm mare of the United States, as well aa upon the long-eared, loosejointed progenitor of that hybrid—an animal Indispensable to the success

of our army in the field.

Instances have been known where a pack mule would loaf about the array kitchen while the cook was baking bread until he observed the cook busy at some other duty, when he would approach the lire, raise one foot and paw off the Hd of the Dutch oven, grab the hot loaf within and make off with it on the run. He would do the same If he observed a hunk of bacon within easy reach.” A good many farmers these days, devoted to their horses, say, “Gosh darn a mule, anyway,” on general principles, but the army loves and admires him for services rendered! and would likei to see him get
