1T is A TRUE MANS DUTY TO

J" HE Editor of the Cecil Wing
willingly gives publicity 10 the
Il following letter from Miss Pau

who is taking Il leading part i'll that
grandes1 of work. the prevention of cruel
ty to animals and in which this parrr
has, long been i'll sympathy.
We regret however thar she has mis-
construed our aim in the editorial refer
red to. for in no wise did the Cecil
Wing" intend condoning the cruelty in
flittcd upon the holSe-whUIc own con-
dition implied his misusagc-but on the
other hand TO lend our aid i'll preventing
further abuse Of mail carrier wagon
horses, by pointing out the fact that the
Government was not granting sufficient
remuneration to mail carriers To allow
of horses being properly maintained and
not overworkeh.
Throughout the editorial, as those read
ing it will remember; We're many express
sionS evidcncing the Cecil Wings
kindly feeling toward dumb animals and
denunciatOTy of their maltreatment. and
Miss Palmer ani our readers can doubt
less recall that the Cecil Wing" worked
valiantly toward driving outlaw racing
from within this fair county, because of
the cruelty seen on those race tracks
She, the IIytheham Club of Port De
post and all good persons and organiza-
tons seeking the betteIment of, and per-
vention OF any cruelty to animals, may
feel assured that the Cecil Wing will
lend its every possible aid in this good
work.

reading can only DO good i'll once more
