DOG CENTRAL FIGURE
IN HARD LUCK STORY
Loss of His Tax Tag Marks
the Beginning of
Trouble.

A dog, the pet of Salt Lake fanny,
has been having a series OF adventures
within the last few days that, comolned
make o hard-lnck story. The dog, ls
held in such regard by its owner that
the dog-taX has actually been Pald'
The tax tag was placed on the canine S
collar, but while the animal and the
play the collar and tax tag was lost,
The affection Of the head OF the
household for the pet was not strong
enough to cause him to at once procure
q duplicate tax tag, Such an act OF
patriotic affection is seldom performed
The matter was procrastinated and the
boy was cautioned to keep the dog close
at home, so that the goblin dog'catcher
would not kidnap the innocent creature
Matters progressed in this manner Tor
a time, the owner enjoyed the emol-
uments of the deferred duplicate tax
and the kid suffering under the appre'
hension that his favorite playmate
might at any moment be taken from
him and be carted away to the pound
in the wire screen wagon, with col
ored driver. Later the woman OF the
household took q drive with her little
boy md left the dog confined In It's
kennel.
While driving along later they were
surprised by the winning uHu DdihihR "
the dog under the vehicle This unex-
pected appearance caused consterna-
ton in the minds of both the woman
and the child. Their destination was
q greenhouse, for the purpose of pur-
chasing flowers. The uog having gained
his liberty, after several days of en-
forced confinement at home, grew hi
larious and refused to keep quiot. While
tho dog frisked and barlsed, the woman
and the boy had visions Of dog-catchers.
Arriving at the greenhouse, the boy
volunteered to guard the dog in near
by alley while the woman selected the
flowers within, Things went well for a
time until bird lit upon the glass
roof and attracted the attention of the
boy and the dog. The dog pricEed up
it's ears, danced four-step and gave
q few nervous barks, and the boy, alb"
sorbing the enthusiasm of the occasion,
yelled "sicl'
Tho word acted like magic on the
dog, which instantly leuped after the
bird, and as quickly broke through tho
roof and fell, topether with a large
area of glass. at the feet Of its mistress
and the florists. The broken glass and
the damaged vegetation cost several
times the amount of the dog tax, the
second installment of which was at once

found the. equal in farm lands
which Blue county boasts--lands
that will produce anything that
can he grown in the United States,
and in some instances, two crops
the same year can be successfully
grown, such as alfalfa, clover,
Irish potatoes and garden truck.
Blue county, more especially
the sections closely tributary to
Durant, grows as fine fruits as
Arkansas, AMI in many instances
better, the soil being particularly
adapted to tender plants. Peaches,
apples, pears, plums, cherries,
muloerries, apricots, nut trees,
berries and grape vines grow
prolificly and produce abund-
antly. There are over a thousand
acres in fruits about Durant and
the growers are well pleased with
the results. Strawberries, rasp-
berries, dewberries, gooseberries
and currants grow especially fine
in size and flavor. There are
neatly 300 acres in berries about
Durant and are proving most
profitable crops. There is no bet
ter opening for the fruit growers
than in Blue county. Flowering
shrubs, tender plants, evergreens
hedge plants, vines, roses and
shade trees grow fast and to good
size with but little attention.
The potato crop has proved to
be one of the most profitable that
grows; it natures early and is
shipped to northern markets; our
lands produce from 100 to $50
bushels to the acre, and always
sure of a second crop. Truck
farming is proving very profit
able, as vegetables, berries and
vine CROPS of all XIII Is do we'll
here, and with the improved faci-
lities for shipping everything that
the farmers raise, and need, Du-
rant will draw all the produce
from the surrounding country.
Durant has Canning Factory
of $4,000 cans per day capacity.
The fruit and vegetables it puts
up is of excellent quality and the
output finds a ready sale in all
the markets. The very highest
price is paid for home products.
Last year the ,ftrmers and truck
growers were unable to supply
the demands OF the factory, 30 all
we need is more truck growers to
cast their lot with US, and do
their part, and the climate and
soil will do the rest.
hunt where you may you will
find no more suitable climate for
raising poultry, hogs, cattle
horses and mules. There are
seven poultry farms about Du-
rant, the largest of which has
over a thousand chickens. Fowls
of all kinds do we'll here and are
proving a profitable investment.
There is something here that
make chickens healthy and hens
good layers. To attend the annual
fowl shows here one is easily
convinced that Blue county is the
ideal fowl country. AS to hogs,
cattle, horses and mules, Blue
county excerpts none on side of
|, northern stock.
Prudent, persons of mode, Nte
means, who are tired of making
just half living in the States,
we would say come to Blue
county. There is no section which
offers better opportunities for
general farming, truck, poultry
and stock raising than the Sec
tions about Durant.
