The Animal Rescue league” of
Bridgeport. realizes that at this time
of the year good work is gently used-
ed. to alleviate the suffering inflict-
ed upon horses and mules. and to
work with greater energy in their be
half.
Harvey Riley. superintendent of
the government males for more than
30 years, said that probably no on m
lmul had been more cruelly treated
than the mule. yet no animal had
been a greater ,frle'ndto man. It is
human nature as well as mule nature,
to protect ourselves by whatever
menus we have at hand. and for this
reason a mule defends himself from
a driver who mlsuses him.
*Both horse and mule work hard1

If the gtlzens of Norwalk would
think of a home- for animals'as an
imperative need for their ._ city, and
assist in “financial support. much good
work could be accomplished. The
lack of this interest is responsible
many times for failure in the
