We have a hog law that pro
vides a fine for those who allow
their hogs to run at large, still
we find hogs at large ranging at
. their own sweet will and work
ingkss ,aage to those who respect
the NV and try to keep their
hogs in bounds.
While the hog law is on our
statute books it is the law, and it
is as much the duty of the Off
GERS to enforce the hog law as
ANY other law enacted by our
Legislature. There is no necessi
ty of jumping on a man because
his rooters happen TO get out ac-
eidentalfy, but when a citizen has
the habit of letting his hogs get
out accidentally every morning
and shutting them out accident
ally every night, he. should lie
looked after, and the officer who
winks at the matter L not doing
his duty. It's no more his duty to
wait for some one to, swear out a
warrant than it is his duty to
wait for some one to swear out q
game, or sees some one carry fne
his artillery around with him.

GRATTAN SHOULD BE DRY

: The farmers Of Gratten in the election
of local option year ago voted in favor
of dry township by 25 majority, but
the county went wet. This fact how
ever, did not change the sentiments of
the farmers of Grattan on the question
OF open saloons in that territory. Their
voice and their sentiments should have
been respected by the township board
and vigorous attempt made To shut
the saloons out Township boards are
endowed with considerable authority
by the law relative TO the charcter Of
the man who wants TO open a saloon,
and of the amount of bonds, of the
qualifications of the bondsmen, and of
the hours for keeping open saloon, all
of which, if the township board should
strictly require, would undoubtedly
make it impossible for one to open up
1t would be, not only IA money making
proposition for the farmers and citizens
of Grattan, but would also lend a
wholesome effect to its social life if the
saloons were eliminated from Grattan
Center and Mosely.

vised against the acceptance or the
first offer. which would have been
twenty times MS much as the farm
would have been worth If no oil had

farm TO any one who would rescue me.
One of the drilers accepted the offer
and entered the shed. where he sue
