DOGS MAY HAVE
HAD THEIR DAY
Likely that Death of Useless British
CANNES will Reduce High
Cost of Living

London, Dec. II, Correspondence
of the Associated Press) Thousands
of dogs are helping to keep up the
high cost of eating in this country by
figuratively snatching from the
mouths of humans, pound steaks, NUT
ton chops and other expensive things.
This was brought out in parliament
the other day when it became known
that steps were being taken to reduce
the 100000 dogs that inhabit the
British Isles. The result was a pro-
test from alarmed dog-lovers and a
chorus of approval by dog-haters.
Newspapers have been flooded with
letters from both camps.
The suggestion of the government
to raise the dog tax from $3.50 to So
is one of the proposed steps to "re-
duce the dogs" But it is pointed out
that the breeder and well-to-do owner
will not be deferred by an increased
tax. In favor of the dogs, it is de-
clared, that dogs were never more
useful than today. The head OF
London dog home says he gets more
] requests for dogs than in peace time
$50 many women are nervous now
that their husbands are in the army
and they buy dogs to guard theii
homes. He says that to forbid dog
keeping as form of wasteful extrav'
agance would cost more in human
happiness than it would save in hu
man food.
What really makes patriotic people
boil with rage is to see fashionabl!
4 dressed women with anywhere from
two to half dozen pampered pets
: These are the dogs accused of eating
the pound steaks.
"The really best dogs, like all tn
best people," says the Daily Mail
"eat simple food. A good house dos
, in a well-ordered household may b
, kept in perfect health at an infinites
: imal cost. 1t is the utterly useles
dog with no merit but pedigree an
: no part in life but to be pampere
> that develops fastidious and extraV
;. agant tastes and becomes a nuisanc
at home and in the street, in the he
: tells and in railway trains"
But it appears certain that what
ever other breeds may be affected b
o the threatened reduction of license
$ the British bulldogs place is secure
In defense of the bulldog it is state
: that he is not an expensive luxur.
that he will eat almost anything an
y only requires one good meal day.

PROTECTING OUR
FEATHERED FRIENDS

l cut the following from New
York paper. What pity it does not
apply to our doves, as they certainly
are "important to agriculture as in
sect destroyers":
"Having been sanctioned by Great
Britain, the treaty between the Unit
ed States and Canada for the protec-
ton of migratory bird life is now In
effect. The most vital provisions or
the treaty are that no bird important
to agriculture as an insect destroyer
shall be shot at any time: that no
open season on game birds shall be
for longer than three and o1e-half
months; that both governments shall
restrict open seasons to protect game
birds during the breeding season and
that there shall be no shipment from
one country to the other of birds tax

Christmas is over and / think all

most enjoyable occasions was
Christmas dinner given by Mr.. and

friends were invited and when the
crowd was gathered and counted there
were sixty. When the time came for
dinner to be served two long tables
were placed under some large oak
trees and OH my, what dinner was
spread. There were about twenty diff
ferent kinds of pies and custards,
fruit cakes and in fact the whole
family of cakes and one of the incest
turkeys the writer ever saw, three
chickens 65 birds cooked in different
ways and other things too numerous
to mention. After dinner Mr.. Ban
CERT grouped the party, and placing
his camera before US told US to smile
little and you know the rest.
Messrs. George and Thomas Proc

Christmas with their parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Az Proctor Sr. They returned

Seats for the performance of Co.
burns minstrels at the Temple are
being sold rapidly, and it is evident
that that always popular aggregation
will play tomorrow night to full

general favorite here in the last two
years, is with the company, would
draw many, and Cobe and his bunch
are among the most skilled of fun
makers anyhow.

There are three more days of the
booster week in the Stars 5000 Club
md the members are fully aware that
this is an opportunity that will never

fort to gather in all the votes they
an before the close of the offer on
raxt Saturday night, Dec. 30, at nine
o'clock.
Have you though of the things you
could buy with 5000? You should be
able to realize this amount if you did
eot want to keep the car, and just
think of the many things that you
could buy with the money. This
splendid automobile is familiar to the
most of residing in the Stars terri
t3rv, but to those who do not know
about it, we would say that the Max
well is one of the popular cars in the
world for the price. The Maxwell
vhich the Star will give to the best
yorker in the 5000 Club, is of the
latest model, with electric lights, self
starter, etc.
The piano, purchased from Herbert
Iattner. is a wonderful instrument
and one that any member of the club
will be proud to own. Then there is
the 500 Edison. The Edison is SO
well known that it is not necessary to
90 into details in regard to its merits
A $50 diamond, three $25 Elgfn

SOAP FACTORY
WILL SOON START

Mr.. W. L. Colbert who, next week,
will give up his Office as tax collector
to Mr.. w. w. STRIPPING, is making
arrangements to start up the soap
factory as soon as possible. He has
engaged the services of Mr.. j. B.
Black, an experienced man of Day
ton, O., to superintend the work. Mr..
Black will probably be here early
next week.
Elsewhere Mr.. Colbert has an ad-
vertisement calling on the people to
save for the factory their waste
grease and tallow. 1t will be seen by
this that the factory, as all good home
institutions should be, will be recip-
rocal affair-it will sell soap to the
people and buy material from them.
The Star hopes that our people
will give this good little home insti-
tuition hearty support, enable it to
live, prosper and bring money into
the town.

JOKESTERS ENTERTAINED
THE PEOPLE OF JACKSON

The Jackson Clarion-Ledger has the
following about the performance of
Coburn's minstrels, who will be at
the Temple tomorrow night:
Coburn's Greater Minstrels enter
tanned good-sized audience at the
Century last night, and judging by
the applause and encores, the show
was greatly enjoyed, many of the
musicians and actors being compell-
ed to respond several times.
All the good singers are introduced
in the first part, the second part be-
ing an olio of many vaudeville acts,
and some of them very good.
The first act represents a scene in
Bengal, India, at the palace of the
rajah, the scenery being very fine.
The minstrels represent members OF
the Millionaire Hunting Club of Am
erica, giving their songs and acts in
the presence of the rajah and his
queen, Lester Lucas, with his fine
basso voice, doing the part of the
raiah, the interlocutor. The other
singers are Frank Melville, Harry
Ford, Earl Rowland, Charles Cam
eron, Charles Vermont, Tom Post
Ed Clifford and Charlie Gano.
Charlie Gano is the real life of the
show He is not so long on singing
but he is a fine talker and a superb
actor, reminding one somewhat of the
late George Wilson, in manner ant
dress-a comedian of the upper class
and one that always makes laugh
whether talking or acting. His tricl
mule act was a genuine laugh-pro
ducer.
The contortionist, Harry Toledo
was good in his part, which was t
bend and double himself up into al
sorts of shapes, impersonating tn
Marvellous Mephisto. The jokes wer
good, clean and new.
The three musical Gates on Saxa
phones, clarinets, cornets and othe
Instruments, appealed especially t
those of refined musical taste, bein

The singing of Mississippi" b
(. the musical quartette, led by Ed Clid
ford, the song adopted by the Fec

wood, proved a pleasing event of tn
long program.
In Charlie Gano's preparedness
skit, Charlie was the largest part,
which all the company were introdu'
ed, the grand finale being very plea
ing. The song, "When Get Back
the United States" by Ed Clifford ar
full chorus. closed the entertainment
