SLASHINGS ' '•
BY A STUMPLODGER. / r r. ? . 1r
The Inst month has demonstrated,
the superiority of the horse over
the motor driven machines to some
of the lenss prejudiced citizens of
the community. Some 3ay. ti fit it
•alvinl,* shows that a horse has more
cf the so-colled horsesense than
any machine, for when a horse'finds
hinself in a storm; surrounded by-'
sub-zero weather, he will at least
try to f ind a place where ). e can
pet warmth, food and shelter, and
will even guiae his driver to
places of this kind b^ instinct.
But a car or a tractor will just
lie down and sulk and loo the driv
er perish. In any debate between
the horse lever and the machine age
minded person, this one thing
should always be remembered.. Wc
wonder if a groat many of cur so
called loaders of men are net un
duly influenced by the cold callous
character of the machines chat have <
made our present system so effect- <
ive, but often at the expense; of
less powerful individual who lacks
the ability to drive ethers pr to
hew a place in cur present order ■
for themselves. Perhaps we are too
sentinental but we like the' kindly
spirit of the horse, and," while we
do not grieve for the return of .
the Good Old Days, yet. we / i wish
that some of the powerful men cf
