Yes, It’s Possible HE news sometimes reads stranger than fiction. In Texas an old lady is reunited with her husband from whom she was kidnapped 53 years ago by her parents a few weeks after the wedding in Tennessee. The father, now 73, sees his middle-aged son for the first time. If it Were in the movies, the critics would label it “impossible.” Dobbin’s Kickoff DOES look dubious for the old gray nag and his Telatives. He and they seem to be doomed, if figures » are truthful. The latest horse census of the country re- ports 18,000,000 of the animals on the farms. In 1918 there were 21,000,000, and the loss has been at the rate of 500,000 a year. If the same decrease be maintained s our old friend of the plow and cultivator is expected to sound his farewell and futile neigh about 1960. These are the figures. The facts are that the horse will not disappear. There is too much sentiment at- tached to him, too much usefulness, too much sport. In a large measure he may disappear, as he already has in a considerable degree, as mechanical appliances further invade his field of toil, but his adaptability to certain em- loyments and pleasures, and the love and devotion t e has, thru all the ages, deserved and invited, will save him from total extinction. He may become better and finer. He has been the tried and true friend of man and of progress. Neither man nor progress will drive him to his death. “ One paper says McAdoo “would make a good actor,” which, also, is an unkind intimation that he isn’t one now.
