 Too Many Dogs.

The greatest problem that con fronts the people of Huttls at th present time is that of dogs. Il the language of our forefathers there are dogs. more dogs and lot' of dogs. in facts stranger visiting our village and un-acquainted witt the color of our population, would declare without hesitation, that he had got off at an Indian village. where ther- are always ten dogs to every Indian. There is an ordi nance requiring that a tax of $l 50 per year be paid on all dogs and that those on which no tax is paid shall be killed.
 As rule the man who thinks enough of his dog to pay the tax keeps him at home and feeds him, but there is a large number of homeless dogs hare that nobody feeds and they are compelled to visit back yards and scratch into chicken houses to secure a living. Such dogs as these should be killed and we trust that the council will see that the law is enforced.

COACH RAW RECRUITS
HAVE NEW MATERIAL FOR THE
FOOTBALL TEAMS.
Nichols of the Normal and Crawford
of the High Have Their Men
in Training.

Today the football season was Off
cially opened with the calls for pre-
liminary practice by Coach Nichols OF
the normal school and Coach Crawford
of the high school. In both schools
the teams will consist of practically
new material, the high school having
only five of last years regulars and
the normal three.
Both coaches, however, will start i'm
mediately to hammer the raw recruits
into shape, and feel confident that
when the referees whistle blows for
the initial kickoff, they will have teams
worthy of their opponents.
In all probability the two institu-
tions will so arrange their schedules
so that the football enthusiasts will
be able to attend game on the home
field every Saturday, and if present
indications hold good some exciting
contests will be witnessed between
October first and turkey time.

he IS A SERIOUSLY SICK man

Governor johnson went on the oper-
ating table at 1929 and came off at

out nicely from under the influence OF
the anesthesia.
The governor was in fairly good
condition for an operation. What the
doctors fear most is infection. Should
that develop the patient would be put
in precarious condition. The next
three days will tell the story. If no
complications arise during that period,
the doctors are satisfied that the gov
ernor will recover. At best he will be
confined to his bed about two weeks.
