In cheosing.a ration for a horse, select the one that seems to meet his re- quiremeiits, whether . for growth, maintenance, work, breeding or fatten- ag; estimate the amount of feed need- d and iry out the ratlen.

In October more than 60,000,000 pennies were made and the call for them is still beyond supply. There is also big demand for other small coins, nickels, dimes and quarters. The reasons for it are the shifting of prices, the increasing number of penny change divisions, and the war taxes, like those on soda water and movie tickets. : Since the mints began operating there have been put into circulation more than 3,500,000,000 pennies, and fewer tuan 100,000 have drifted back to the mints to be welted up and sent forth afresh, writes Aaron Harly Ulm in the Dearborn Inde- pendent. What becomes of them is one of the many mysteries concern- ing money. For there are still officially in | “circulation” millions of half-cent, two-cent, half-dime and other speci- mens of coin now rarely encountered in trade. The government doesn’t worry much over what becomes of small coin; for generally it represents big profit. Even at present high prices of metals, pennies cost only about 20 cents a hundred to produce, nickels about 50 per cent of face value and dimes and quarters—until about last November 1—something like 80 cents to the dollar.

As they were coming arcund the circle and passed the statue of the war governor, Oliver P. Morton, the mother told her little daughter: “When I was a little girl I had the honor of being kissed by this great statesman.” A week later the mother and child were coming out of the Circle thea- ter and the little girl exclaimed, “QOh, mother, there’s that man again that kissed you!” i But no one knew the little girl was talking about the statue on the other side of the street and the mother did not stop to explain.— Indianapolis News.

THRE BEMIDSI DAILY PIONEER Authorities of Perpignan, In Spain, Have Decided to Retain Sixteenth- Century Abode. The council of Perpignan has de- cided to preserve an ancient house in the town built at the beginning of the sixteenth century by a rich merchant of the name of Xanxo, otherwise Sancho. It is in the street known as Main-de-Fer, a survival of the heroic days of that independ- ent little town whose burgesses did not even hesitate to impose taxes on the clergy. This was in the year 1368. Perpignan, as the advance post of Spain in France, suffered a siege at the hands of the French king in 1475. Handed back to Spain by Louis XI’s successor, Per= pignan saw the entry of Ferdinand the Catholic, king of Aragon, ac- companied by an escort of monks; the inquisitorial tribunal which Fer- dinand immediately established in the town. Up-till 1642 the ecclesi- astical tyranny continued, but the burghers of Perpignan had far too great a reputation for sturdy inde- pendence for the monks to have had it all their own way. Sancho of the Rue Main-de-Fer was one of them, and doubtless that old house which has survived the centuries witnessed many an episode in the struggle to outwit and oust the fraternity.— Christian Science Monitor.

Everyone expected good crowds but nowhere near as great as daily packed the big exhibit building. Interest in Buick cars and GMC 1 have heard buyers accuse dealers truck.s was not a surprise but we were surprised to have so many people ask about deliveries. I am justified in pre- dicting the biggest de- mand for Buicks and GMCs ever experi- enced. These two mo- tor products have so thoroughly estab- lished their reputation for “long life” and “low cost of operation” that they without doubt surpass everything in the market for popularity.’ Millions are being spent at these two factories to increase production fa- cilities, but it takes time to build buildings and install machinery, so we will not get the benefit of these changes and improvements this spring and summer. In justice to Buick and GMC dealers through the Northwest these facts are published. Those who delay in plac- ing their orders should certainly not complain if they find in the spring a dealer’s allotment all spoken for. orders. of not trying to get cars to fill their The manufacture, the dis- tributor and the dealer are all anxious to sell cars, but when it comes to manufactur- ing and delivering, the impossible cannot be accomplished.

My honest and sincere advice to every man who plans on a Buick car or a GMC truck this spring or early summer is to place his order now. Why spend your money on a ‘“‘second choice” auto or truck? Just about as satisfying as to see the horse you bet on come in “secon ” in a race. Don’t blame us if later on - we can’t fill your order ' The Motor Inn Phone 78 312 Beltrami Ave. Bemidji, Minn. e
