Many Army Horses and Mules Sold
by Government.
Demoblization of the army mule and
horse is going forward rapidly, accord-
ing to figures on government sales just
compiled by C. O. Moser, livestock in-
spector of the purchasing quartermaster,
The figures show that during the war
the government bought 115.000 head of
horses and mules at a total cost of $27.-
000,000 in the southern and central pur
chasing zones. When hostilities ended
the goversment owned about §00.000
head of horses and mules, 300.000 in
the United States and 200,000 in Prance,
only 70,000 of the latter having been
shipped from this country.
Because of the big demand for these
animals on central west farms the
government has been hurrying distribu.
tion, and when auctions now advertised
are completed 150,000 animals will have
been placed back on farms since Janu-
ary 1.
Cavalry horses cost the government
an average of §16g, artillery horses $190,
and mules $190, according to these fig.
ures. At the sales cavalry horses have
brought an average of $85, artillery
horses $150 and draft mules $160. The
sales have included many wornout ani.
mals, some selling for as little as $10.
On the other hand, many annimals have
brought fancy prices,

New Government Poster.
** The Appeal of Victory for Thrift”
the first of the new Government posters
designed to encourage thrift in the
United States, is being distributed by
the Savings Division of the Treasury
Department. The poster is the work of
the noted artist, Haskell Coffin, whose
war posters figured in many of the
governments war drives,
The painting represents a winged
Victory, with lowered sword, bearing in
her up-raised hand a branch of palm,
The painting is an artist's protest
against the ugiiness and horror of war,
and represents his conception of the
beauty and tenderness of peage. The
picture bears the legend : * Share in the
victory, save for your Country, save for
yourself. Buy War Saviogs Stamps “.
* It was my desire,” said Mr. Coffin,
* to draw a Victory with sweetness and
tenderness, emerging triumphant from
conflict in a noble cause, I sought to
make a lyric painting, to be used in
some constructive movement. ‘1 did not
want to do a vain apd glorious Victory,
rejoicing in death and herror. | am
delighted that this picture is to be used
by the Government to further thrift",
There is also au story back of the palm
of pease. Mr. Coffin went to a florist's
shop to purchase this paim, but when
the florist learned to what use it was iq
be put, he refused fo accept any money
for the branch, saying that he gladly
contributed it to so important cause,

Barristers’ Wigs.
Barristers’ wigs first came Into
vogue about 200 years ago. Up to the
end of the seventeenth century Judges
and sergeants at law alone hand any
distictive dress,
Under Queen Anne the queen's coun-
selor adopted the court dress and silk
gown swhich made vp the mourning of
the period, together with the full-bot-
tomed wig then usually worn by all
persong pf position,
Thereupon the outer bar started
wearing a modest short wig, with
strings of horsehair tied up at the end,
in imitation of the fashion of tying the
back halp up inte a pigtail
Some judges, we fre told by a legal
historian, found these wigs “cox-
combical,” and would not allow barris-
ters wearing them to plead In court.

Easy Way to Measure Distances,
Boy scouts who are interested io
emulating deeds of their older friends
are practicing oany engineering
stunts. One of the most Interesting is
to measure distances without instro-
ments and where the travel from point
to point is impracticable. The method
followed Is ane employed by Napoleon
when his engineers sought to learn the
distance across an unfordable river.
