Kalbfus to Help. - Arrangements
were made here to-day by officials or
the State Game Commission in con-
ference with representatives of various
agricultural organizations to bring
about vigorous enforcement of the
dog license act. The representatives
of the organizations asked DR.. Joseph
kalbfus, secretary of the Game Com
mission, If he would detail game war
dens to assist in Kidding country dis
tricts of unlicensed dogs. DR.. Kalb-
fus pointed out that the law required
the county commissioners to take
charge of the destruction of dogs on
which no tax has been paid and If
they did not act the State would bring
suit. The game wardens will help
them by law. Conditions in some
western counties where there are
many sheep were reported as growing
serious for farmers. The agricultural
representatives also arranged to have
a central office in this city at which
meetings will be held and various ac-
tivities outlined.
