nance providing for the muzzling of
dogs At all seasons OF the year while
running at large. The same request
was made by the health officer, last
spring, but the council declined TO en-
terrain IL. His latest communication
was referred TO the committee on ordi-
nances. In his letter, DR.. Kiefer said
in part:
Ii was argued before the committee
by the opponents OF dog muzzling that
there was no danger OF hydrophob ia

statements made TO the effect that
there Is no such thing as hydrophobi

Since that time there nave been
three deaths from hydrophobia In hui

previously bitten by dog died In ter

be taken, and l respectfully request
that you give this communication your

The Engel boy contracted hydro
phobia as a result Of being bitten by
a neighborhood dog, the Fourth o.
July. The dog lacerated the lads
lower lip. The wound healed up
quickly and no futher thought was
given to IT. The dog disappeared from
the neighborhood soon after attacking
the boy.
Aug Is, the lad showed symptoms
OF suffering from rabies, and DR.. o. S,
Bell. No. 256 Bethune-ave. east, was
called. He found the lad frothing at
the mouth and having commissions. Or.
Bell called in DR.. Hause. OF Harper

PLANNED TO RECALL
FEDERAL GRAND JURY
District Attorney Webster Ad-
vised That Necessary Funds
Will Be Provided

United States District Attorney
Clyde l. Webster on Tuesday received
a telegram from Attorney General
Wickersham indicating chat emer-
gency funds will be provided for re-
calling the federal grand jury. Mr..
Webster had notified the attorney-gen-
eral that about 80 cases are awaiting
action OF the grand jury. and that in
eight or nine OF these cases the de-
PENDANTS are in Jail, so that a great
injustice will be done them ii their
cases are long delayed.
In compliance with the attorney
generals directions, Mr.. Webster OBJ
tanned from the United States mar
shal's Office an estimate of the amount
of money neSced for the calling OF
the grand jury, and sent word to
Washington that it would be about
$4,000
Some of the 80 cases came before
Judge futile as district attorney, and
he does not want to try them. This
makes II desirable TO have the cases
ready for the session OF court In
which Judge Clarence w. Sessions, OF
Grand Rapids. will preside. But
Judge Sessions can be here only be-
tween Sept. % and Oct. /, and unless
Immediate action Of the grand jury
makes II possible to have the cases
ready for trial at that time, they
would be delayed probably until tho
next opportunity for Judge Sessions
to leave his Grand Rapids court.

GOOD POINT ON IRRIGATION
No Greater Mistake Could Be Con-
ceived Than That of Throwing
Water on Plants In Sunlight.

A good many people have an idea
that water shall not be thrown on
plants in full sunlight No greater
mistake could be conceived, says a
correspondent in Gardening The
damage to a crop occurs during the
noon hours, and If we could spray
our fields between and 3 o'clock,
say once an hour, we could overcome
severe droughts very we'll In our
case there was never enough water
used to wet the earth so as to form
crust; we used the wheel hoe freely
to keep the soil mulch in shape and
only enough water to prevent tagging
in the hot sun The results obtained
were beyond expectations Plants
made excellent progress and the cost
of this treatment would be no greater
than the constant wedding and hoe
ing needed in a wet season; added is
the high market prices for all goods
of fine quality.

The forearm, extending from the ell
