LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
GRANGE ON RALLY DAY

Rally Day" last Saturday brought
out full attendance and was a decided
success in every way The lecture by
Prof. NJ. o. Pence. on Keeping Poultry
for Profit, was highly instructive. and
much appreciated by those engaged in
the poultry business. We must exercise
great care in selecting the correct type
of hens for our breeding pens. if we eX-
pect to increase egg production in our
flocks. The selecting of the male from
high producing ancestors is Of even
greater Importance than that of the fe-
male The price of eggs as fixed by the
city dealers during the summer months
is based on a IT per cent loss from ''otf
eggs which are canded out before reach
ing the consumer. This loss can he
largely overcome by separating all males
from the fiOcks during the heated sea-
son. Prof. Pence has consented to give
US two Illustrated lectures during the
winter. which will probably be open to
the public. The vocal solos by s. p.
Griffith, and the recitation by Mrs. Karl
Bunstien was well received and roundly
applauded.

DOG STEALING and THE PENALTY.

News articles asserting that under the
laws of Delaware, it is not a crime to
steal a dog. have appeared recently in
newspapers in this State. They are both
misleading and harmful. 1t will be well
for dog owners and those who have fixed
covetous eyes upon hunting and other
dogs to bear that fact in mind.
In 1913 the Delaware Legislature
passed an act to make the stealing of
dogs larceny That act was approved by
Governor Miller on March Z of that year.
It's text, omitting the title and the en-
acting clause. is as follows
"Section l. After the approval of this
act any person who shall steal, entice
away. or unlawfully have in his posses
sion any dog shall be deemed guilty of
larceny. and shall be subject to the same
punishment as is provided by the law for
the punishment of persons convicted Of
larceny.
Section 2. ANY person who shall
have a dog in his possession not belong
ing to him, shall advertise a brief descrip-
tion in a newspaper of the city, town
or county in which such person resides,
of such dog. and if the said dog is claimed
bv its rightful owner. shall deliver the
said dog on demand. but not until the
said owner shall have reimbursed him for
inserting said advertisement, and any
person who shall have in his possession
any dog not belonging to him, without
advertising as aforesaid. shall be taken
and deemed 90 be guilty of larceny.
"Secunn 3. A . acts and parts of ac S
incons isteut herewith are hereby re-
pealed
That law is in full force and effect
today Its terms cannot fail to meet
with the approval Of all honest persons.

OUTRAGEOUS COUNTY FRAUD.

The greatest fraud on the people OF
Chicago Is the law which gives to the
few country towns and cabbage gar.
dens which make up that part Of Cook
County lying outside of the city limits
one half as much representation on
the Board Of County Commissioners as
the great City OF Chicago has.
Cook County. according to the Uni
ted States Census of 1910, had a popu.
lation Of 2,4O5,233.
Chicago alone had 2,1S5,2S3 of this,
which number has been enormously
increased since the census was taken
According to the census figures, g.
1s5,2s3 Chicago people are represented
by only 10 County Commissioners, and
219,960 people living in the county out.
side the city are represented by five
County Commissioners.
This Is a gross fraud and fragrant
injustice to the people OF Chicago.
The scattered country communities
outside of the city know nothing of
the kind Of men they are asked to elect
and care less.
This accounts for the sort OF fel.
lows who swell around In the County
Board as representatives from the
country towns.
Not one OF the FIVE could be elected

voters OF Chicago had crack at them.

GAS SHUr.oFF GRAFT.

The people are vitality interested in
this matter, because they are unani.

scheme, not matter who has to pay
the freight.
II would be a crime and one entail.

devices 10 kill people. The theory OF
the promoters OF the gas shut-off
graft, is that as soon as the fire de-
partment arrives at fire its very first
duty will be TO shut off the gas In the
building. This would leave the occu'
pants TO grope around In the dark and
cause them TO be suffocated by smoke
as well as consumed by the flames.
The proposition Is an outrageous one.
