Tue horseless age! Those of us 
who live on the North Shore and are ac- 
customed to see so many automobiles, 
are inclined to think that the ‘‘ horseless 
age’’ is getting to be a reality. When 
one visits the city and has to dodge the 
autos and taxicabs almost at every turn 
he wonders if the horse is not altogether 
a thing of the past. In New York this 
is particularly true, where hundreds of 
autos may be seen grouped in the public 
squares, and along in front of hotels and 
theatres, where once horses were to be 
seen. 
It might surprise the prophet of the 
horseless age to tell him that in New 
York and other cities where autumobiles 
are most extensively used the horse pop- 
ulation is steadily increasing. Experts 
declare that it is a fact nevertheless. In- 
timate students of the horse insist that he 
indulges in laughter at times. Is it any 
wonder that he should do so when he 
hears this funny talk about driving him 
out of business? The horse receives 
special attention in countries that main- 
tain large standing armies In Ger-

many, for example, every horse fit for 
cavalry or artillery or for the heavy haul- 
ing of the transport service is carefully 
listed by the government. His age, 
condition and weight, together with his 
owner’s name and residence, are known, 
so that in case that horse is needed for 
the army the government is bound to 
get him. 
Russia alone among the great nations 
has more horses than the United States, 
her horse population last year numbering 
upward of 29,000,000. Germany had 
4,337,263 horses in 1907, the United 
Kingdom had 2,150,181 in 1908, and 
France had 3,163,025, the years in each 
case noted being the latest for which 
figures are obtainable. The Argentine 
Republic had 5,462,000 horses in 1907, 
and the Australian commonwealth had 
1,869,674, while | Austria-Hungary 
claimed 2,308,457. The _ federal 
authorities in 1908 estimated the num- 
ber of horses in the United States at 
19,902,000, an increase of something 
like 1,000,000 over the year preceding. 
It was also pointed out the business of 
horse breeding is becoming more profit- 
able every year, and taking that fact into 
consideration, experts estimate that the 
horses in the country at present number 
in excess of 20,000,000. ‘There is no 
hint of the horseless age in those figures. 
In connection with the woods fire at 
West Manchester the first of this week 
it is well to bring to the attention of peo- 
ple the necessity of stating, when they 
call for the fire department in such a 
case, that property is endangered. For- 
est and woods fires ordinarily come un- 
der the charge of the forest fire wards. 
No fire apparatus could conveniently get 
to the heart of the woods to fight a fire. 
On the other hand if the woods are close 
to buildings, and danger arises from a 
fire, then the fire apparatus could be 
used. Anyone telephoning forthe de- 
partment under such circumstances ought 
to state unhestitatingly that property is 
endangered. 
THE Rice Association of America is 
going to conduct a campaign for the pop- 
ularization of rice as a food in parts of 
the United States where the value of that

movement ought to succeed if southern 
methods of cooking rice are also made 
clear to the northern and western public, 
which seldom sees rice properly prepared. 
It may not be generally known that in 
Eastern countries rice is the staple article 
of diet. The Chinese, for instance,

THe hearing at the Manchester Town 
hall next Friday, given before respre- 
sentatives of the War Department, re- 
lative to the Boston & Maine railroad 
bridge and better facilities for entering 
the inner harbor, brings to mind again 
the great need of some organized body 
of the citizens, such asa Board of Trade, 
Improvement Society, or something of 
the kind. The Manchester club (or 
Business Men’s club as it was originally 
suggested) ought to take some action at 
its meeting tonight along this line. 
TuankscivinG! The President was 
late in making the annual proclamation, — 
but that might have been expected in 
view of the long journey from which he 
has justreturned. Thanksgiving has be- 
come so firmly imbedded in the life of 
the country that even if the President 
made no proclamation there would be a_ 
Thanksgiving Day just the same.

of the B. & M., and with Philip Dexter, — 
who has so much salable property in that —

ought to be in line either for a new rail-_

on the old.
