The Cat Brigade

Half a league from the town
Sat all the pussies down.
Without smile or frown
Sat the two hundred.
Theirs not to reason why;
Theirs but to sit or lie;
Blink as folks pass by,
Noble two hundred.
Cats to the right of them,
Cats to the left of them,
Pussies in front of them,
Meowing and sGuarking.
Patient and well they sat,
Long, lean, or short and fat;
Few of them dared to spat,
Valiant two hundred.
Bobtailed and ten-toed cats.
Cats who have ne'er seen rats
Spending their time on mats,
Tired two hundred.
Siamese and Japanese,
Cats YOU can easily tease,
Cats full of festive fieas.
More than two hundred.
oh, the fine show they made,
In ranks on ranks arrayed,
OF every gentle grade,
SOmber TWO hundred.
Folks of all size and age
Gaze long in every cage,
While caters make their wage
On the cat show.
Rich womens darling pets,
Old tabs and wary vets,
Cast from all sectarian sets,
Out with the gang.
Silver cups for women breeders,
Feline washers. feline feeders,
or cat society the leaders,
At this show.
All are gone. removed the cages,
But the female heart 1t RACES
In the record of the pages;
No prize is won.
Men are weak and judges human;
Sense is given to but few men;
A prize should go to every woman
For perfect peace.

Compton was entered last night by un-

A which was in the till was not taken.
Two pistol shots were fred inside the

Special to The Herald.
SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 1S.-Plans OF
local sports who have wired to James

Mayor Acts on Receipt of Notice from
City Attorney-Police Now
Patrol the Anne::ed
District

Ascot park must shut down it's bar to-
day.
Mayor Harper late yesterday after
noon instructed Chief of Police Kern to
see that no more liquor is sold there
Chief Kern in turn notified Captain
Bradish that Ascot park was in his
district now and that he must enforce
the law. If help is needed he can get
it from headquarters.
1t is probable that Chief Kern will
visit the track this morning in connec-
tion with the order, but his present in
tention is not to interfere in the after
noon, leaving the command to Capt.
Bradish.
II have been notified that Ascot park
is part of Los Angeles, and the au-
thorities there will be compelled to do
according to the ordinances and regula-
tions of the city, said the chief.
Wants Motorcycle Patrol
ut is my intention to patrol the strip
OF territory which was recently an
nexed by means of policemen mounted
on motor cycles. This is by far the
best plan. 1t is my intention to ask the
police commission to provide the de-
partment with three of the motor cy-
cles in addition to the three we now
have. Two of those we have now are
at the central station, while the third
is at the university station.
II will also ask for an auto runabout,
with ambulance attachments and a
gasoline auto patrol. | believe there
should be an ambulance for the use Of
the receiving hospital exclusively, but
as l have no control over the hospital
cannot recommend that.
"The work which has been done by
the motor cycles since they have been
added to the department has been most
satisfactory. The officers are frequent
ly enabled to reach the scene of a fight
by means of them where otherwise
they would have to remain until the
patrol wagon returned from another
call or else take a street car"
Officially Notified
Chief Kern was notified by City At
torney Hewitt, as were all city officials
that the shoestring strip recently an
nexed is now officially a part of Los
Angeles and became a part of the city
on December 26.
Identical letters were addressed to all
city departments, from the mayor
down, which gives all to understand
that the annexed territory is subject to
their jurisdiction and amenable to city
laws.
This, of course, affects Ascot park
and. as printed yesterday, it puts the
question of stopping the sale of liquors
at the track up to the police depart
ment. The county license expired jan
uary /, the new city council refused to
grant special permit, and Mayor Har-
per stated yesterday that as soon as he
was officially informed that liquor is
being illegally sold at the track he
would order the laws enforced.

The matter of farmer cooperation is
one which is demanding more and
more attention every day from those
who are the opposing factor trying in
every way to discourage the farmer
from becoming a member of any or
ganizaion which has for its purpose,
the consolidation of their interests.
The trusts have men out in almost
every community where farmers or
ganization has been started, telling
the members and those outside of the
organization that certain lodges over
the country has practically abandoned,
and that they cannot hope to accomplish
anything because the farmers will
not hold together. This is purely an
effort to throw the farmer off his
guard and dissuade him from farther
lending his assistance ::on the side of
the union, that the trusts may have
longer time in which to lay their plans
to battle against US.
The extent to which the trust feels
the power of the farmers union is
demonstrated in the agreement made
between the grain Dealers combination
and the railroads to "refuse. cars for
grain shipments unless the order comes
through an agent of the grain dealers
association. This action had not ta-
ken place until after certain farmer
unions commenced shipping their own
grain in preference to selling to local
warehouses. This attitude against
the farmera isr alone a .good ressou
why they should cling together and op-
pose this encroachment upon their
liberties, and by their number assist
the national organization through
influence, to reajust the wrongs per-
pretated against the farmer.
Harvest having past and the greatest
rush of the farmers being about over,
much liviier interest is being mani
tested, both in attendance and the push
ing to completion Of the work already
outlined. together with the adoption of
other movements.
Word comes from Lind this week
that their local has reached a men,
bership Of ninety-two and the average
attendance numbers more than half
that amout. Realizing fully the in
Justice that has been accorded them in
the past in the matter Of disposing OF
their products, they are preparing to
handle next's years crops through
their own agencies. Their movements
in that town meets with the hearty
approval Of Everybody in general--exept
grain dealers.
Hatton lodge has been requested to
unite with them in certain movement,
the particulars of which will be made
known at the next meeting of this
lodge by a member attending their
meeting on the 18th ult. Every
member is earnestly requested to be
present and lend their support. Hat
