P. H E Kingstree, S. C. Army Male a Help in Time of Trouble i When it comes to enduring, sacrificing, and dying, the humble and plebeian mule can be relied on to do his full duty, as he proved in the worldwar. Many a time, when the mud was deepest and the seargeant-major in his worst temper, the mule laid back his ears, planted his feet firmly upon any spot he could find, and pulled a gun or a wagon out of the mire. There were more than 45,000 of him engaged with the army over- j seas and more than one hundred j thousand with the troops in the' United States, and while he resorted ! at times, to ungentle tricks, yet when ! it came to hard and necessary work,j when is came to going without eating and drinking, when it came to ! difficulties in transportation, the mule was to be depended upon. He was the hero of many a trying hour. Now f comes an official word of apprecia- j tion from the Government Accord- j ing to the New York Sun: j "There was no comparison," says j i the Quartermaster-General's an- j nouncement, "between the small, poor- j ly nourished mule secured in Spain i and those purchased in southern France and the powerful, upstanding, mealy-nosed product of the Middle West, There was sharp criticism in some places of the class of animals which came up from Spain for duty ? x1? D?f fV?oon IiHIa on me uaiuaium. xsu? uv? ...... animals were able to haul machinegun carts, releasing the heavy animals for duty with the artillery and ammunition-trains. "There were times during the final j stage of the world-war when it was i impossible to give much-needed rest J to these animals. There were not j enough to do the work which confront- i ed them, and the result was that it j was necessary to keep on the move { forty-eight, sixty, and sometimes sev- i enty-two hours with hardly more than ! a pause. Then is was possible only J to feed a small amount of grain and i a few handfuls of hay. Under this , strain the mule went forward, giving J his all uncomplainingly. 1 "The mule has always been given i the credit of having his full quota of j brains, but at times it seemed he had j more than his share. He may run i when hitched to a wagon. When tired he makes Jus condition Known oy quitting. However, this quality did not come to the fore doling the days of St-Mihiel and in the Argonne. "The record of the mule through the world-war h;is been such as to reflect , much credit upon the dam, the farm I mare of the United States, as well as upon the long-eared, loose-jointed progenitor of that hybrid?an animal indispensable to the success of our army in the field. "Instances have been known where a pack-mule would loaf about the army kitchen while the cook was baking bread, until he observed the cook busy at some other duty, when he would approach the fire, raise one J foot, and paw off the lid of the Dutch i oven, grab the hot loaf within, and , make off with it on the run. He would do the same if he observed a hunk of bacon within easy reach." A good many farmers these days, devoted to their horses, say, "Gosh darn a raufc anyway!" on general piinciples, but the army loves and admires him for services rendered and would like to see him get the Distinguished Service Medal. Perhaps his valor and constancy in war-time will recommend him to softer sentiments in times of peace. le Price When You Buy a lie work, an extra burden is i, with no corresponding l>eneAgain, the higher the speed greater Is the tendency to heat; 3 more oil must l>e used? )i! costs money. le change from regular gear to or from slow to regular re? no tools and only five ids' time. ime in and let lis show you the Thomas does the best work, doesi it for the longest time.
