Show AAorgan Horse Typically American Profits Strategy Pays 'Republican M&k U THAE Republicans brought themselves out of their Government Runs Unique Breeding Farm in Vermont f By BAUKIIAGE Some time ago the world was startled to learn from Pravda, the official communist party newspaper in Moscow, that it was a Russian who discovered wireless (as radio was called in its youth), and as if that werent enough, it was announced later by the same authority that the electric light, which poor Thomas Edison certainly thought he had something to do with, was likewise a Russian invention. WASHINGTON, D. C. as m & Morgan brood mares, with their foals, run In one of the pastures of the department of agricultures U. S. Morgan horse farm near Middlebury, VL continue to be emphasized. Also, every effort has been made to preserve adequate muscling and depth of body and to preserve and enhance desirable temperament. The stocky stallion, original of the effigy was named for its owner, a singing schoolmaster, was foaled in 1793 and died in 1821. He (I mean the stallion not the schoolmaster) had a romantic career and he is the progenitor of the breed, which as the department of agriculture says, is one of the few breeds of horses developed in the United States. Justin was a small, active animal of great power and endurance, with the reputation of being able to outwalk, outrun, and outpull any other horse iln Vermont and the neighboring states. He had the power to transmit these qualities, says the department, to his three known sons and the United States government is doing its share to perpetuate the characteristics for which his ilk is known: beauty, easy keeping, soundness, endurance, and spirit coupled, with gentleness. The first time I ever went to Vermont I was attracted to these plucky little horses. Later I learned more about the Morgan horse. He weighs less than 1,000 pounds, he is not over 14 hands high, with powerful chest and leg muscles, a proud head and a stout heart He has done a lot to develop the state of Vermont and his adventures have carried him far afield. In a Actionized but remarkably accurate story of Justin I," Marguerite Henry tells how the boy Justin as a Joel, who gentled colt later lost track of him and finally found him again and how Joel, in his cavalry uniform with a sprig of evergreen in his helmet sat proudly on his ' diminutive mount when President Monroe re post-morte- ; round-barrelle- . .OP ,oad,.0ip Here's one had an operatlng ,Sytem Wfh guidll.tt hgd a two.pronged base T Yhev strove (A) to keep down the amount of legislation fromhe for the essentials for beginning a new policy era selecting only the bare emergency and must legislation.

The area was Increased by an additional gift of about 35 acres by Colonel Battell in 1908, and by purchase of about 550 acres from Middlebury College in 1917. The land, underlain with limestone. Is well adapted to the production of horses.

While some senators will be junketing to Alaska or touring Europe, Taylor will ride horseback from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast. The senator from Idaho candidly admits that it is a publicity stunt, but not for Taylor, for peace. Along the way, Taylor plans to speak for the United Nations and world cooperation. At the last session of congress, he helped introduce a bill to strengthen the United Nations and help eliminate the veto power by which one nation can hold up the peace efforts of the rest of the world. Taylor feels that the Middle West is becoming isolationist, is worried over the threat of war and wants to dramatize the problem of peace. The Idaho senator planned to buy two horses in California and begin his trek from the Golden Gate bridge, San Francisco. One horse will follow behind on a trailer, while he rides the other, alternating each day. Taylor says he plans to ride horseback every inch of the way, even including western deserts and the Rocky mountains. He figures the trip will take him three months.
