Here is something that may be of in
terest to dog owners here. A recent
supreme court decision outlinesrespon-
sibilities of owners of dogs. The de-
cision was case where action had
been brought to recover damages from
the owner of dog that barked and
frightened the plaintiffs horse. The
plaintiff was thrown and injured and
brought suit for $500 damages. The
jury gave him verdict for that amount
and the owner. of the dog appealed to
the Supreme Court. That court sus-
tanned the verdict and said in strong
words that the owners of barking and
vieiuus dogs are responsible for all
damage caused by such dogs. and the
owners keep them Mt their own peril

The rural free delivery has eliminated
the isolation of farm life, and with the
telephone and the autos has brought
the most distant farm into close touch
with the world at large. Farm lands
served by rural free delivery routes are
worth at the least SIS an acre more than
lands not so located. Uncle Sam has
never made better investment than
when he started the rural free delivery
of mail, and the rapid extension of the
service in the last twenty years has
been one of the executive marvels Of
the year.

Some people say that advertising Is
all matter of luck; that you cannot
tell what advertising is going to do or
whether or not 1t Is going to pay. This
may be true, but it is very strange that
man who gives intelligent thought to
his advertising, and does it in an intel
ligent straightforward way. usually
has the luck on his side. He is lucky
IN his advertising because he has re-
duced it to science. Advertising is
just as certain as paying rent. Adver-
Using is governed by just as much
common sense business lines as govern
the purchase Of a lot of potatoes.

This is the whole story in nutshell
The farmer wants higher prices, the
wage-earner wants wages, the store
keeper wants higher profits. President
Harrison once said that cheap coat
marks cheap man. He was right.
Things are the cheapest when things
are depressed. The bargain conntei
always opens during panic. In times
of prosperity, when wages are highest
when the factories are busy, the fam
err sets aside surplus. Yet, every one
wants to buy the other mans products
at the lowest price and sell his own at
the highest. How selfish human nature

to it. Forinstance, certain preacher

with song books free of any charge. 1t
was explained that there would be a
few ads in the front and back of the
books but that these ads would not be
offensive to the members Of the congre.
cation, since the books were being Sc.
cured for nothing, the preacher gave
the order and the books arrived. He
found the ads to be mildly worded and
decided TO use the books. He explained
from the pulpit how the books had
been secured, and announced that tl,ev
would sing No. s74. Imagine the peo.

average Of a little over 81 inches a
day. For the FIRST thirty hours of the
time, the corns growth was 50 inches
The longest growth for the day was 6
inches and the shortest growth was Y
inches. During the time the measure
ments were taken the weather was hot
as a consequence the growth was rapid

ownership and putting water carriers
under the Jurisdiction OF the interstate
commerce commission was recon-
mended in a resolution adopted at
