Business Meeting Held. The patriotic exercises followed a business meeting of the association, which also was held on the verdant slopes. of Temple. Heights. Aside from the oration of Mr. Stengle, the pro- gram included the recitation of the Declaration of Independence by G. A.

Refreshments werce served at the conclusion of the cere- monies. Four new members were admitted at the business meeting. They are Charles G. McGuigan, Albert W. Evans, Willlag M. Boft and John H. Virnstein, H. L. Bryan, first vice president, presided. “It is customary, on occasions of this character,” 'sai@ Mr. Stengle, “for the speaker to review the deeds of valor and speak of the sacrifices of those who, by stability of character, loyalty to a just cause, and determi- nation to wipe out oppression, erected here upon this continent the altars of liberty, the asylum for the op- pressed, and those institutions which make for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 1, therefore, might with some degree of propriety, take you back to Bunker Hill, Lexington, Con- card, Valley Forge and Yorktown and recite most vividly some of the great deeds of men who have written their names , indelibly upon the pages of American history and in the hearts of liberty-lovirg peoples everywhere, but I refrain, because before me sit many men who, because of great learning and years of observation and study, know much more abodt the subject than T do. 1 therefore content myself with the statement that these spots were fixed posts in the American Revolution and served to point the way to the establishment of a free democracy, which has grown in strength and stature until today, more than a century and a half thereafter, it is recognized as the leader of true and pure civilization.

A desizn consisting ‘of a duck, a| sheep and a rooster, surmounted by | a face of the sun god “Helios.” has been approved by the War Depart- ment for use as a_coat of arms by the | 21st Airship Group (balloon). stationed | at Scott Field, Belleville, 111 According to the War Department announcement, there is a historical reason why that famous airship group, organized in 1921 from units Which had gained fame during the World War ac Lorraine, St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne, should adopt as their coat of arms those peaceful farm- yard animals, of which the rooster alone has the faculty of flight, though only over the barnyard fence. It is related that onme Montgolfler onducted the first successful balloon cension. This was on the 19th of September, 1783, at Versailles, France, in the presence of the King, the Queen, the court and innumerable persons of every rank and age. The hotair balloon had a cage attached to it, in which was put a duck, a sheep and a rooster. The balloon raised itself to a height of about 1,440 feet, and being carried by the wind it fell gradually in the woods at a distance of about 10,000 feet from the point of ascen- sion, having remained in the air eight minutes, It is related that the balloon fell very gently so that it just bent the branches of the trees upon which it alighted. When it came to the ground the cage broke without seri- ous fnjury to the animals. Within'a few months from this time human beings began to make success- ful flights as passengers in captive balloons.

By the Associated Pres The United States Government has just paraded 60 equine aristocrats be- fore the admiring gaze of the Nation. All of the animals were Morgans— alert, powerful specimens of horse- flesh, poised to perfection. The exhi- bition was held on the United States Morgan Horse Farm at Middlebury, vt. New Englanders predominated in the groups of spectators. The breed, until a few 3 virtually extinet, originated in New England. It was established by a stallion, Justin Morgan, foaled in 1793 and named after is owner, a school teacher who lived near Rudolph, Vt. Chosen as the founder of a race, Jus- tin Morgan outwalked, outpulled and outran all of the other horses in his section of the country. Known Many Years. For many years the breed flour- ished. Morgans were used almost to the exclusion of other general utility horses in the New England State: The first break came with popular d sire for trotting speed, which resulted in a mixture of Morgan and thorough- ars ago | bred stock. When the Civil War came and the t Vermont Cavalry dashed into ac- »n, the troopers shed from the backs of steel-muscled Morgans. Sheridan mounted a Morgan on his famous ride from Winchester. Later the horse was named Winches- ter. His hide, stuifed and mounted, is preserved at the National Museum. The first public_effort to preserve the disappearing Morgan strain was made in 1906 when the United States Department of Agriculture and the Vermont State Experiment Station were authorized to assemble a small band of Morgan mares at the station farm near Burlington. Government Farm Started. The government farm, approximat- ing 1,000 acres, was started when the late Col. Joseph Battell of Middlebury, Vt., founder of the American Morgan Register, gave the Department of Ag- riculture a 400-acre farm at Wey- bridge. Stock for the farm has been obtained from Morgan blood in Ken- tucl Kansas, . New York, Washington, Iowa, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Illinois and the native Ver- mont. & At the outbreak of the World War foreign agents came to America for cavalry _horses. There were mnot enough Morga! Even the United States Cavalry was hadicapped. The situation led to development of the present Cavalry Remount Service, which sends 500 stallions throughout the country for the breeding of suitable steeds should there be another demand. Of that number 27 are Morgans, centered principally at Kansas City, Mo. Inquiries Received. The Government has received in- quiries for Morgans from the Prov- inces of Quebec, Ontarfo and Alberta, Canada, and from Cuba, Porto Rico, Central America, South America, Ja- pan and China, as well as from every section of the United States. . New York City's mounted police win prizes with Morgans; cattlemen cay they have the intelligence and courage to “hold” a steer after it has been roped; polo players like their quick wit and hardiness; saddle dev- otees prefer their smart, alert walk, easy trot and collected canter; farm- ers take pride in their short, strong legs and round, full-muscled bodies. it 2 VICTIMS OF FLOOD PADDLE TO CHURCH Good Congregation in Spite of Diffi- culties Reported by Arkansas City Mayor.
