In speaking of the value of horses and mules as compared with automoblle trucks, Mr. Dinsmore said: ‘As a result of studies, other surveys ade, and definite statemengs with eost res furnished to us by firms who own and use 51.927 head of horses, ‘we ars now in a position t6 say. positively that on hauls within a horse's working radlus, {. e, the distance a team can travel in a day, horses furnish more economical service . than motorized equipment. 2 “On local delivery work, from . store to store or house to house, the evidence is overwhelmingly = for horse drawn equipment. Tce companies, coal ecom- panies, groceries, bakerieg milk com: vanies, and all others wkose business involves frequent stops and delivery work, agree emphatically with the great packing companies whose verdict 1s, ‘On all hauls under 20 miles per day,” the horse is most economical.’” In spegking of horses in the citles, Mr. Dinsmore said: “Our anutignunn. in cmu. dufiu the past year show that ,competition will force all cities to develop abund- ant terminals and team tricks, and this factor will inevitably lead to increased norse use. Boston, with many wharves and team tracks, has very few hauls that are not under two miles for the roung, trip, and Boston moves her enor- mous shipments of wool, leather, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc, at a very low gost. Severty-fiva per cent. of her ‘mer- chandise is horge-drawn, and she en- joys the distinction of having the best lot fo horses, on tne average, of any city in America.” % In showing how the development of the rohse he'ps every section of the country, the report said: “The (Georgia farmdr who buys’ a team of mules pays over money which finds its way Into the pocket of a Ne- braska farmer, who, in ‘turn, buys «lothes made from the cotton raised by the Georgia farmer. Both profit. Ne- bragka cannot produce cotton, and-it is more profitable for Georgia to raise cotton than to rear mules. “Faulty road building in Pennsylvania has reduced the prices of horses in Col- orado, for hard surfaced roadways, without side roads for farm teams, have forced farmers adjacent to such high- wiys ot keep their teams off the publie roads because of danger of injury.” 5 VOLUNTOWN i Mrs. Josephine 3.

Her interest in young life was not limited‘to her own children. but extended to the children and young people of the community, as she was su- perintendent of the Bible school for a term of years. Mrs. Gallup was a veritable Mother in Israel, with a strong mind, a kindly heart, broad vision and a helping Land. Her passing reminds friends of the epitaph over the tomb of Wesley, “God buries the workers, but the work goes on.” Her home was hospitality itself, warmed by friendly hearts and illuminated by cheerful dispositions, the latchstring al- ways out and a cordial welcome extend- ed to visitors. Here her mother-im-iaw and sister-in-law found a real home, with devoted service and loving fellowship. There elderly relatives found a genuine mother in Mrs. Galiup, who was years younger than they. Her children have a noble heritage in the memory of their mother and rise up to call her blessed. A sllent and beautiful tribute to the character and influgnee of Mrs. Gallup ‘was given in the flowers which surround- ed her body and which covered her rest- ing place in the family cemetery a few rods away. The concourse of sympathiz- ing friends at the funeral services testi- fied to theystrong personality of this gen- ‘tlewgman of the old &chool, strong in mind, kind in heart, wide in vision, will- ing in service.
