two applications Of the Alton maidstone

What with the sheep-killing dogs, the
rabid dogs and the dogs that exist prin-
cipally upon eggs in a liquid state, we
want to change the personnel OF our
Legislature for a few members who can
sit upon this dog question for the benefit
of a long suffering agricultural commu-
nifty.
