The manner is which our clothes have been tailored—if* you are
conscious of the character and style which attaches to the gar-
ments we sell, you will readily appreciate the advantage of buy-
ing here. You should come in and look at the Spero, Michael
& Son Clothing. It is tailored properly and possesses that char-
acter and style that is difficult to define but the lack of which is
quickly apparent. Come here, buy here and be sure.

■■ . . ' . . . .
About a dozen or more years ago
hen electric street railways were
ipidly replacing the mule car, cable
ir and all other forms of motive
jwer, I heard a farmer, whom I had
aown from earliest childhood, say
iat it was an outrage that electrici-
■ wa3 displacing horse power on
reet railways—that farmers would
ion have no market for their horses
id that the U9e of electricity for
at purpose should be prohibited
r law; but the change went on un-
l now I don’t know whether there
a horse or mule pulling a car in
e whole country. If there are
ly they are exceedingly few.
Recently the automobile has come
to very general use in our cities,
id as a rival of the horse, may be
msidered much more 'formidable
an electric street cars. Automo-
le plows and other farming imple-
ents are also coming into use,
id it is being freely predicted that
e horse must go—that steam,
ectric or gasoline motors will do
e work on the farm as well as in
e city and that the horse, in the
>ar future, will bo knbwn only i n
e menagerie and the museum,
here is a hope on the part of some
id a fear on the part of others,
at such will be the inevitable
suit of the present trend of in-
istry.
I believe that the hopes and the
fears are alike groundless. Not
only is the demand for horses as
good as it ever was, in spite of his
displacement on street railways,
etc., but there are good reasons for
thinking that the horse will become
of greater rather than of less rel-
ative importance, It is not merely
that the motors now in use fail to
take the place of the horse, except
in a very limited field, but that in
the long course of time the energy
of the horse will outlast any mo-
tors such as we' know today or
which use the fuels that we are now-
familiar with.
The power to do work must come
from some source—it may be a
waterfall, a coalmine, an oil or gas
well, a windmill, a living animal or
the alcohol made from vegetable
products. To a limited extent the
engines seriously competing with
horses in farm work. Alcohol will
probably be more expensive than
gasoline and unless its combustion
is much more perfect than the
combustion of gasoline it cannot
compete with it for power purposes,
for its thermal value is but little
more than half the thermal value of
gasoline. Even if gasoline and
alcohol motor were successful in
displacing some horses in farm
work they can never displace all
horses. On every steep, rough
lands, on stony land and among
the stumps they would be im-
possible; but their field of useful-
ness is much more restricted than
these words indicate. They can
never hope to replace the horse in
any considerable measure even on
the smoothest plains. Their gener-
J. A. Moore has sold the
Coney Island Restaurgnt build-
ing and 50 foot lot facing the
postoffice to Emmit Gilbert
We are not yet informed as to
what disposition Mr. Gilbert
will make of the property.
A full-fledged Texas blizzard
struck us Sunday and there was
considerable freezing done Mon-
day and Tuesday. The Carbon
Telephone Exchange was damag-
ed to ohe extent of about $75.00
as a result of the water freezing
to some of the -telephone wires
until they had become heavy-
enough to break and pull several
poles down. Some snow fell
Tuesday night.
Those wishing to make ex
hibits will please notify the
editor of this paper by Dec. 1st
so we will have time to make
necessary arrangements.

G. F. &*P. A., Waco, Texas, j
The bbst of fruits; shades,!
direct rays of the sun have been al use for such purposes would
utilized and so have the tides, but! send the price of both gasoline and
the work of the world is done
principally with the power derived
from coal and the power derived
from horses.
We know how limited is ttye appli-
cation of some of these powers.
The oil wells of the world are kept
busy illuminating the world and
they do only part of that. Gasoline,
which is derived from the product
of these wells does a little of the
cooking of the world and runs a
few engines, but if called upon to
do the brunt of the farm work of
the world would most certainly
give out. Waterfalls are exceed-
ingly useful to drive factories and
will last as long as the rain falls,
but there is no feasible means of
applying the power of water to the
manifold operations of farming,
and if there were it would apply
only to limited areas. The wind-
mill turns as long as the wind
blows, but is manifestly undepend-
able except for pumping water,
grinding grain, sawihg wood and
such miscellaneous work.
As to the possibilities of alcohol,
the reading pudlic has been told
that it would take the place of
gasoline in driving motors and
that it would soon be cheep enough
to compete with gasoline. We will
know more about that in a few
years than we do nowy but the
alcohol to prohibitive figures.
There is no source of power appli-
cable to general farm work that
can begin to compare with the
horse and the mule. After the
coal, the gas and the oil are gone
the horse will still be here, living
on the energy that the sun stores
up in grass and cereal and expend-
ing that energy in useful work on
the fat-m. Coal is but the energy
of the sun stored up ages ago, but
the sun is perennially storing
energ-y in the plants of field, energy
that is transmuted into actual work
in the chemistry of the living
animal; and as long as the sun
shines and the seasons come and
go this same energy will be forth-
coming and will be utilized in the
most wonderful of all mechanisms—
the mechanism of the living animal.
As an efficient engine for trans-
forming the stored-up energy of
vegetation into actual work, the
horse stands high and will ever do
so.
We may banish from our
thoughts, therefore, the idea that
the days of the horse are numbered.
No matter how wonderful and how
useful tbs new engines and motors
may be they can not displace the
horse. Time is on his side. They
cannot defeat him. They are not
