DOG CATCHER Is
AFTER UNTAGGED
CANNES OF CITY

City Clerk Maurice Mcintyre and
License Inspector Hicks were kept
busy this morning issuing licenses to
dog owners. who needed Police Chief
James Collins warning in The Sun
y esterday. that the dog catchers would
begin their operations. Some of the
anxious dog owners were on hand
when Mr.. Mcintyre arrived at his Of
flee this morning, and before noon he
had issued 20 licenses.
All licenses issued now have at
tached a penalty of ten per cent The
license for male dogs is 81 and for
females 81. Every year the dilatory
tactics of dog owners forces Chief Col
Inns to take drastic means to rid the
city of the nuisance of stray dogs. II
the dogs rounded up by the catchers
are not claimed within three days
their funerals occur shortly there
after.
So far this year but 100 licenses
80 for male dogs and 10 for female
dogs, have been issued. One run OF
the fire department brings out more
yelping ours than that number. and
as somebody always is more or less
fond of every one of the variegated
breeds, Chief Collins shrewdly cal
culates on sharp increase In the
city's revenue by a declaration of his
determination TO exterminate all but
the tagged pets.
Lycurgus Rice is in charge of the
wagon. He Is assisted by two colored
men, Gabe Fletcher and Arthur
Beasley.

population, but IL does not. Wher
the south learns something about tn,
rotation of crops and quits raising
tobacco and cotton exclusively, ther
the money the south receives for it,
products will stay south.
But until then the south has a
chance to even up matters by selling
vegetables and fruits to the north
while it is yet too cold for the north
to grow them, and the yankee mouth
is watering for something fresh and
luscious.
Did you note the number of cars
of strawberries shipped to Cincinnati
from Chattanooga? The Cincinnati
market controls the retail price In
Chattanooga and berries seldom go
below ten cents there, in the very
midst OF the largest berry patch in
the United States.
Paducah does not raise a fraction
OF the Chattanooga crop, yet the
local market becomes glutted and the
price slumps. Why? Because Chat
tanooga raises a sufficient crop at one
time to ship the berries out by the
train loads. Specials. with iced ears,
rush to the northern cities with their
precious cargoes, while Paducahans
raise too few to ship. except by the
expensive express route, and too
many for local consumption.
When Paducah gardeners get to-
gether and arrange to raise the same
kind of strawberries. blackberries,
tomatoes and melons, so
that they will all ripen at one time,
and then ship them out in carload
lots TO Chicago and st. Louis. this
city and section will be enriched hun
dreds of thousands of dollars every
year; the poor land adjacent to the
city will make more money for the
owners with less trouble and expenseI
than the tobacco lands further out;
and there will be some cash in circu-
lation here that should have come In
long ago.
That is one way to get even for
the biscuits We eat.
