An epidemic among crows has
prevailed in Northern Indiana dur
ing the past three months. al
though the great mortality noted
by farmers and others was sup
posed to be due to starvation dur
ing the long prevalence of deep
snow. 1t was noticed, however,
that the birds invariably gave iudi-
cation of blindness just before
death, some dropping while in fight
and others dashing aimlessly about
over the snow before succumbing.
r. J. Weith, Elkhart, observer
for the Indiana Audubon Society,
says he is confident that 10000
crows died within a radius of two
miles Of that city. Mr.. Weith also
says that at least ten species Of mi
gratory birds usually there at this
time of the season haze failed to
arrive. Tennessee Farmer.

likely to receive a great deal Of
attention. Some praise as well as
some criticism. Mr.. Solomon
seems to think that a clergyman
might as we'll wear a smiling face
as anyone in his flock. He does
not share in the belief that a lach-
rymose expression is a sign OF
sanctity or that a smiling face is a
sign of the opposite condition.
Naturally, he leans to the belief
that men should be social. In
fact, he starts out with the knowl :
edge that they are already social
and that the real task is to give
that feeling a proper direction.
He deplores the fact that friends
do not know each other, that even
parents and children march along
in parallel lines without an ex-
change of feeling, and as remedy
for much of the sourness and envy
that exists he calls upon the people
to take the scowl off their faces
and the vinegar out of their
and to laugh and romp.
''Too many wives in Atlanta" said
be, "are the slaves of their hus-
bands, and husbands are hated by
their slaves" And then:
"The church that makes 'Hark

It's keynote will drive the young

7ldes shameless houses, gambling

loles of hell--for his followers,
md all these are social institutions.
Emasculate the social feauture from

Let us match him by instituting

Imusement, such as ball, checkers

ttractive than hell. Be friendly;I

lie. Let us provide them enter

PAY THE DOG TAX.

The following card appeared in
the Paris papers last week and as
it treats of a matter in which oui
people are interested we give il
publication; says the Carroll
County Democrat.
| wish, through your paper, to
reply to the many daily inquiries
made in regard to the recent dog
law. l think it best for all owners
of dogs to pay the tax or else kill
their dogs. First, it is the law,
and all good citizens should obey
the law, whether they approve of it
or not, until it is repealed. Next,
il they fail to obey it they are liable
to be indicted. If indicted the
least possible cost would be $25. 90.
While the grand jury has no in
quisitorial power in the premises,
still it would be their sworn duty
to indict if they know the facts
themselves. No one knows which
of his neighbors will be on the next
grand july. Besides man may
have some enemy who would de-
light to report him to the grand
jury. 1t is only a dollar any way
on dog or bitch for the life time
OF the dog, 95 cents of which goes
into the county school fund, and
will, if all pay their tax, greatly
increase that fund. Those who
care to can pay under protest and
recover their money should the law
be declared unconstitutional.
Therefore without expressing an
opinion as to the constitutionality
of the law, or as to whether !
approve or disapprove Of it, ! be-
lieve it best and right, tor the
reasons above stated, to pay the
tax. Resp, J. w. LEWIS,
Atty, Gen. 18th Judicial Circuit.
