He later came to Mr. Steward and wanted to sell him a contract he had secured for a phonograph, or to have the latter advance him some money on same. Mr. Steward told him that he was not in that kind of business and told him to go to a bank. The young man returned after a time and said that he could do nothing at the banks here as he was not known, but that he could get all the money he wanted at Winamac. It was then that he purchased the music record of Mr. Steward and asked the latter If he could give him $5 in cash if he would write the check for $5.65. It Is supposed that the $5 he secured from Mr. Steward was used in paying car fare to make his getaway. It is understood that the young

man sold a phonograph while here to a young woman on College avej. nqe, but whether any other sales or not were made, the writer is unadvised.

This achievement is an indication of what has been gccompllehed by the department of agriculture in the rehabilitation of the Morgan breed during the since the work was undertaken. The race was from Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., to Camp Devens, Mass., largely over unimproved roads. The purpose was to stimulate Interest in the breeding of cavalry mounts throughout the United States. A majority of the horses entered were Arabians. One was a crossbreed that had seen overseas service and was the first horse to pass successfully through quarantine at Newport News. Two were Morgans, bred at the < department’s farm. The veteran of overseas service, “Bob,” owned and ridden by Colonel George, led the field at the beginning of the race, but was taken out before the finish. The two Arab-

vent them, for, as can readily be seen, . one bad spot in the makeup of a horse may mean the difference between profit and loss on him. Outside of precautions to prevent injury the ■only safeguard against blemishes Is to breed only sound mares to sound stallions. Sometimes a colt will be eurby or otherwise defective, In spite of all that can be done to avoid such weaknesses, but that is no argument against trying to produce only the good ones,

PROPER QUARTERS FOR PIGS
