Do You Keep a Dog?

Chapter 512, or the laws of 1915, re-
lating to dogs, puts new responsible
ties upon the owners of CANNES which
are worthy of notice. Under this law
a dog found worrying or injuring sheep
may be followed and killed anywhere,
even to the premises of the owner. If
the owner of such dog is notified,
either verbally or in writing, that his
dog bothers sheep, and thereafter the
dog is again caught worrying such ami
mails, the owner of the dog is liable for
all damages done, and in addition there
to is subject to fine of not less than
$25 nor more than $50. The owner of
a dog is likewise liable for any damage
done by his dog whether he has had
notice or not, and subject to the same
fine. In case he refuses TO pay the
fine he may be sent to Jail. Under the
drastic terms of such law dog owners
should take special care to prevent
their pets from getting hankering
for mutton. Even mongrel pup
might be costly proposition if he
should develop an appetite for lamb
chops.

INDUSTRY is seriously crippled in
America for lack of labor. This is due
primarily to the cutting off of the sup
ply of this human commodity by reason
of the stoppage in immigration. 1t is
due also to the overproduction of clerks
and office boys. Not so long ago the
labor unions put severe restrictions up
on the number of apprentices to be al
lowed in manufacturing establishments
and turned the tide of youth from the
factories into the offices. Now we are
Oversupplied witt soft-handed, white
collared non producers-wit hundreds
of thousands of boys and men who can
not make anything, who don't know
how to use their hands, who never can
earn as much as skilled artisan, and
who don't want to learn hand-soiling
trade. This country is in serious need
of movement to turn back the youth
of the land into the channels of indus
try, to teach them the dignity and
honor of skilled labor and the profits
thereof. Here is work for the schools,
which have had an active part in ours
ing the land with this flood of unskilled
manhood and which can atone therefor
only by prodigious activity in vocation
al training.

A Faded Platform.

Democrats engaged in drawing up a
statement of party principles for the
national convention in ST. Louis next
month will have at hand the platform
of four years ago. 1t is curiosity
now. Having ceased to be guide, it
will serve as warning. Its conclud-
ing plank said, in burst of tenacity of
purpose: "Our pledges are made to be
kept when in office as we'll as relied on
during the campaign" Looking around
for the fulillment is now in order.
Since the present administration began
the Democrats have controlled all
branches of the government. They
have had full power to act from March
a, 1913, and will retain it until March
4, next. They have had an exception
ally good opportunity to keep their
pledges. But the failures are numer-
Gus and remarkable. The renomina-
ton of Wilson is certain. Yet the
platform reads: 1--WE favor single
presidential term, and to that end urge
the adoption of an amendment to the
constitution making the president Of
the United States ineligible for re-elec-
this convention to this principle" The
1d0 QCCIOSo W lSIlOlO CLO
pledge and the party approves the ac-
ton. So the party does not keep its
pledges, but expressly violates them,
pledged candidate. The plea of chang
ed circumstances would have been
urged regardless of the course of
events.
First in the platform is the free trade
plank, which must now be read in the
light of the sugar fiasco and the Demo-
cratic talk of protecting the country
against the dumping of foreign goods.
1.-The high cost of living" declares an
other plank, sis serious problem in
every American home The Republi-
can party in its platform attempts to
escape from responsibility for present
conditions by denying that they are
due to a protective tariff Present
prices under Democratic tariff are a
sufficient commentary on this point.
"a private monopoly is indefensible
and intolerable." The soaring price of
gasoline is sample of how Democrats
stop monopolies. Eve denounce the
prohigate waste of money wrung from
the people by oppressive taxation
through lavish appropriations of recent
Republican congresses" And the more
recent Democratic congresses have
been appropriating more than ever. A
merchant marine is promised. Where
is it? An immediate declaration on Phil
ippine independence was pledged. A
bill to fix definite date has been de-
feated by Democrats voting with Re-
publicang against the plan to scuttle.
No matter where the last Democratic
platform is analysed, the trail of double
dealing or ineficiency is found
The Democratic platform of 1916
should be printed in parallel columns
with that of 1912. It will be deadly

ONE of the biggest farce comedies
ever staged is now in process of incu-
baton in the camp of the progressives.
1t is to be pulled off June %, not, how
ever, for farce comedy purposes, as
the promoters have no sense of the RI
diculous, but for the purpose of crush
ing a few of the more insistent martyrs
who persist in venturing into forbidden
preserves, although repeatedly admon-
ished that such preserves are sown
with dragons teeth which promises to
rise up armed soldiers against them.
The principal parsonage to be effected
by the Forthcoming conclave is Meow
ern, who won't withdraw, and who
feels he cannot be compelled to. Who
expects him to withdraw? Once upon
the trail of an office, a progressive
cannot be persuaded to look to the right
or to the left; no matter what ominous
things menace his faction, for he is so
peculiarly constituted that his own am
bition and desires absorb all his think
ing time. There is much force to the
point raised by The Sentinel that if a
convention is now held to help the pro-
gressives out of their trouble they are
barred from voting against restoring
the convention to the people at the
next session of the legislature.

County Road Work Under Way.

Nine construction crews, two culvert
gangs and three bridge crews are now
working on the 1916 road building pro-
gram for Rock county. Although the
county was slow in getting work start
ed owing to the unfavorable spring,
advantage has been taken of the recent
good weather to begin as much con-
struc ton work as is advisable.
Highway Commissioner Moore states
that he expects to begin oiling within
a week or so, as soon as conditions
warrant. The oiling contract has al
ready been closed and provides for
10000 gallons of Trinidad A oil, more
or less, the total amount of the con-
tract being sufficient to oil 80 miles of
highway. All roads which were oiled
year ago will be treated this year, ac-
cording to Mr.. Moore's present inten-
tons
The cost of road building in the
county will be somewhat higher this
year owing to the scarcity of labor.
Contractors complain there is serious
shortage of men and that the supply
available is not up to the standard
which could be secured in previous
years. His her prices for hay also tend
to boost the cost for contractors al
though grain is about as it was year
ago.
Thirteen thousand pounds of rein
forcing bars for concrete work was I'M
loaded here These will be delivered
to the various culverts and bridges by
the new motor truck which is proving
a most valuable addition to the county's
road building equipment 1t is now
possible to transport supplies quickly
and to employ it in place of tractor
to draw grader or road drag. A set
of road planes have been secured for
use with the truck which is able to
cover twenty miles day.-Gazette.

again. 1t is true that they have the
cash for their old tobacco, but many OF
them would rather have less cash and
more tobacco. Not being able to sup
ply old customers they find themselves
in the position of losing customers that
they cannot accommodate. 1t has left
many Of them practically without any
business. While small number make
large packings of Ohio and Connecticut
goods, and others have bought stocks
from other packers, the bulk of the
local men do not deal in anything but
Pennsylvania goods, when they have
anything to deal in. Lancaster county
packers mean to have their share of
the 1916 crop.

CoIorfuI Evening Frocks.

Prosperity is translated into clothes
in this seasons evening frocks. Satin,
crepe, brocade, cloth of gold and sill
yer, metallic laces, and, above all,
masses Of net are used for making
them. There is no limit to the use of
color, which is of wonderful value in
them. Intricate combinations of color,
and the Introduction of unusual shades
bring the attention to standstill in
many gorgeous gown. In this par
ticular designers have found new
world to conquer, and they appear to
be enjoying the business in hand.
Leaving the matter of color to those
who study it, the lady of fashion may
proceed to choose either straight
hanging or spreading skirts for her
evening frocks. If the slim silhouette
is possible to her she may choose it,
but the full skirt covers up defects of
too little or too much flesh. 1t makes
the waist of the stout figure look small
er than it really is, and it obliterates
the angles of the thin woman entirely.
The under slip of silk and metallic
tissues is in high favor, along with
satin and taffeta, as foundation for

QUEER LUCK

Did you ever have a piece Of
really good Iuck-for instance,
help from an entirely unexpected
source when you were in deep
trouble?
Luck, good or bad, is certain
iy on the trail of Hugh Whita-
ker. You remember, a corps OF
eminent surgeons gave him just
six months to live. So he found
a girl in trouble, married her to
save her good name and disap-
peared Immediately. Five years
later he reappeared in New York
from Australia, happy healthy
and prosperous, and started out
to find the little girl he married.
He discovers her when he goes
to the theater-she's Sara Law,
great actress. Mutual recogni-
ton across the footIights stops
the play and creates wild ex-
citement among the audience.
What next occurs is told in this
instaIIment. Go to it!
