NOT YET, A HORSELESS
AGE
Ten •years have seen a remarkable
decrease lee the number of horses seen
on our roads and highways and on our
streets • in the towns and cities.
With the advent of the farm trac-
tor, too, there has also been a notice-
able decrease in the number of hors-
es one sees an the farms throughout
the country districts. In fact horse
breeding in this and other counties
throughout •Ontario is at a standstill.
So seldom is a horse seen on the
highayls that many people are begin-
ning to believe the oft -repeated state-
ment that we are on the verge of liv-
ing in a horseless age. That because
the automobile has replaced the
horse on the highways and the trucks
have largely taken their place for
teaming purposes, it must follow that
the tractor is also replacing the horse
on the farm.
But that farmers all over the world
realize the advantages of . herses for
farm work is shown by the figures
which have just been published by the
National Horse Association.
In 1788 the only horses in Aus-
tralia were one stallion, three mares
and one colt. In 1800 they had in-
creased to 230; in 1850 to 159,9'51,
and now there are 2,250,361.
In Great Britain there are 1,204,198
horses engaged in agriculture alone.
Despite the enormous depletion of
horses in France during the war, there
are now 3,000,000 in that country.
And, although millions of dollars
have been spent in the United States
trying to displace them, there are
20,000,000 horses and mules in the
country.
Germany has 3,805,000 horses. ex -

Young People's Meeting. — The
Young People of gt. Andrew's Unit-
ed Church met on Sunday evening,
March 30th, with Mary Thomson pre-
siding. John Alexander took the
Scripture reading; Mrs. R. R. Conner
read ars article on "They Say": Miss
Jean Ivison sang a solo, which was
very much appreciated. Mrs. A. Mon-
teith took the lesson from the study
book. The meeting was closed by re-
peating the Mizpah benediction in
unison.
And so it is over the rest of the Hoffman. pay list Rd. 8. $8.60; M. M.

From these figures it is readily
seen that the horseless age is still a
long way off. In fact, it would ap-
pear to be getting further away every
year.
And it is quite reasonable to be-
lieve that it will continue to recede

father about an automobile at the
same age. In less than the twenty-
five years it has taken the automobile
to 'reach its present perfection, the
aeroplane will be in general use, both
as a means of transport and of
pleasure.
Before that time the automobile
will have seen its best days. They
will always be with us, no doubt,'but
not to be met with in such numbers
as we see them on the highways to-
day. As it was speed which displac-
ed the horse by the automobile, so
will it be speed which will displace
the automobile 'by the aeroplane.
Then will the horse have another
day. Already have people of means
turned from the automobile to the
saddle horse as a means of recreation
and pleasure. And with the thinning
out of the automobiles will the horse
'be seen on the roads again.
And it will be so because no ma-
chine, however beautiful, can long en-
gage the affectidns of linen or of wo-
men to the exclusion of a living thing.
And the horse is a living thing. There
is something human in its make-up
that makes an appeal to all men,
while in many it is born.

WHO IS MICK?
We've thought and thought and
dreamed and thought
Who wrote this Irish prosery;
They're brainy smart and surely
know
The way to count their rosary.
It gave old-timers many a laugh,
Brought many a smile and chuckle;
The humor's good, if you catch on,
And not too dull to see through.
Mr. Thomas M. might tip you off
For boosting him to office,
And Harry McGee. of Eaton fame,
Could use his brains and''do the same.
The Bayfield boys are "up in air"
To know that they are mentioned,
In, that great paper that is read,
From coast to coast the news is
spread.
And '.Mike of Egmondville, ''he's( the
stuff,
He don't believe in dieting;
A little drap to help his food
And keep them botlj from fighting.
And Henry Ford with all his ists
To live 100 years is this:
Eat fruit and starchy foods and try
The menus that you all enjoy.
What is what, and who is who,
And why is Mick not me' or you?
So we will guess and we will try
And see if Mick is Who and Why.

Presentation and Address. — On
Thursday evening following choir
practice in Carmel Presbyterian
Church, Miss Janet White, who has
been ' the very efficient organist of
that church for the past year or two,
was most pleasantly surprised by be-
ing invited to come forward to the
platform when she was presented with
a fine cabinet of stainless knives and
forks, accompanied by a most kindly
address, the presentation being very
nicely made by Miss Alice Walker,
and the address read by Miss Mabel
Workman, in the name of the church
choir. The address spoke of the re-
gret felt by the choir that they were
so soon to lose their splendid and
faithful organist, on the eve of her
marriage, to a Toronto gentleman,
where she intends making her future
home, Miss White, although com-
pletely taken by surprise, expressed
her appreciation for the every hand-
some and beautiful present and the
th'Cit'ua.l•s-egret she felt, in one sense,
in severing her relations with a
church choir with whom she had such
pleasant associations. Following the
presentation a social hour was spent,
long to be remembered, and congratu-
lations in advance of the happy future
event were voiced 'by all present.

painfully and causing the wound to
bleed very freely. The little girl was
given quick attention by the teachers

nately the injury was not as severe
as might have been the case, but
Nellie suffered fora couple of days
from the shock and injuryto her
head.—Mr. George C. Petty is giving

make the back door grounds more
private.—Mr. Adam +Reich'art has re-
