MAD DOG SCARE
 CREATES FURRY ON BEDDING RIDGE.
Towns Milkmen Selling in Bridgeport Have Another
 Cause For Worry.
Special to The Farmer.)

Bedding, July 20.-A mad dog scare Hurried the Ridge section on Tuesday morning, the exciting cause being a good sized Shepherd. He ran down the main Ridge road about 10 o'clock, frothing at the mouth, uttering sharp yelps and occasionally turning in a circle and coming across the three small dogs of Miss J. H. Sanford in front of her residence bit all of them. A horse on the premises was also chased but not bitten. The large dog of Charles O. Perry was the next vic tim. Keeping on down the street the strange dog next ran into Marcus Burr's door yard and after circling the house made a dash for MT. Burr s two younger children. They had talk en alarm, however, from their moth CTS warning. shouts and lodged into the house in time to escape. The next place on the street is that of Robert Ferry and here the mongrel stopped long enough to bite MT. Ferry's dog. Warning had meanwhile been phoned to Pine Tree Corner and when the mongrel reached there Frank Sulli- van and shot gun quickly ended his career Dog Warden D. R. Warner. on being notified, promptly took the carcass to Dr. Smith, health officer, who had the head removed and sent by express the same afternoon to the state laboratory at Middletown, where tests determined the animal was suf- fering from rabies of the worst kind. By direction of MT. Warner all the bitten dogs will be kept in. confine- ment and under observation for two weeks.
 Local milk producers are beginning to feel that with them rather than with most people life is just one both eration and menace after another, Their latest scare. comes from the rel cent outbreaks in Bridgeport Of ma lignant sore throat which upon evil dence seemingly far from conclusive was attributed to germs contained in milk might reduce consumption so as to demoralize the market. That dan- ger having passed there came the prospect or rather the possibility that the authorities would stor the sale of all milk except the pasteurized arti- cle. The apparatus for this process is too costly for the single producer or even a producers association of or dinary size so that under the proposed regulation the dairyman would have
 
 concerns which are equipped with pasteurizing plants. Being thus mas ters of the situation the concerns in question might be expected to fix prices on a scale that would lessen the profits of business already none too profitable to the producers. Some of the milkmen say that if this con- dition comes they will give up the business.
 The pastors of the ten churches of the town, including the two Catholic priests serving the mission parishes on the Ridge and in Georgetown have been invited by Charles H.

No plan or policy has been outlined as the object of the confer ence which may or may not lead to a permanent organization. Tn general the idea Is to renew the situation and

THE WAR NEWS.

The problem of the position of Greece is ap.
parently eliminated. In answer to what was
practically joint ultimatum of the Entente
powers Greece has acceded to all demands, in
cluding the rehabilitation of her army, con-
sent to the movement of troops across her ter
ritory and the prohibition of export, of sup
plies to the enemies of the Allies. The con-
| cession of Greece as to crossing her territory
ought to lead to something How large
force is at Salonaki has never been reported.
but there is thought to be at least 2O0, ,0C0 men,
and 100000 Serbians, trained soldiers, are said
to be armed and equipped and eager for the
fray. With thee forces. and with the Russians
close upon the frontiers of Romania, there
should be something doing soon in the Balk-
ans.
There many things in this war not easy
for an outsider to understand because of the
strict censorship. One thing is, why should
the French be left to defend Verdun alone?
and another, why are the Germans so persist
ent IN their attacks upon Verdun when its cap
ture, aside from the moral effect of a victory,
would help them but little, and would not, as
An English paper, the London Spectator gives
this explanation: AS to the Germans, it says
their object is to prevent general allied Of
fensive, and they hope by pressing the French
hard at perdun to bring the British forces to
their aid. AS The Spectator says: They want
to compel US, and the French also, to throw
our whole line into confusion, to alter our bat
tie plans, to give up all of our carefully
! thought-out enterprise" Meanwhile the Ger
mans are making some gains at Verdun, but at
a fearful sacrifice. In recent attack, repuls-
ed by the French, they said to have lost 40
per cent of the troops engaged. With the
Russian advance in the east, the Italians again
on the offensive, and Greece helpless. the un-
official reports of early big drive by the Al
lies in the West would seem to be we'll found
ed.>
The Russian drive in the east contin ues and
the Austrians are falling back rapidly before
the advance of the Italians. The French con-
tinue to gain at ,Verdun and British successes
there are reported.
The Mexican situation looks war-like Con-
gress is ready to act on President Wilson's re-
guest. More troops have been ordered to the
border, including the I'd Maine regiment,
