Homeless Dogs.

Comments have been frequently
heard regarding the unusually large
number of homeless dogs in this city
to be seen running in groups of four
land five on the streets, or else lying
in the entry ways of business houses
down town. This is state of affairs
as warm weather comes on,
which should not be permitted to ex-
list. The only really humane and kind
lily thing to do for a homeless, under
fed canine is to put him painlessly
out of the way. A dog without a
master is an unhappy dog and it is
Ito this class we refer.
One poor degenerate of the noble
race of shepherd dogs is lame, black
mongrel, who makes his abiding
place in the doorways or stairways
|of various business houses on the
streets. Several kind hearted persons
have prolonged his days by furnish
ling food brought from their homes,
feeling sympathy for the poor old fell
lows unhappy state. However, few
days ago an incident occurred that
should conclusiyely prove that the
kindest act of all would be to pain
lessly end his miserable existence.
The poor old cripple was recently
|seen making desperate effort to
escape from a number of swapping,
yelping hounds which pursued him
Irelentlessly. Dragging the lame
leg he ran, rolled over, gained his
feet, only to be again set upon by
the bowling pack.
Webster City has an ordinance re-
lgarding dogs. 1t requires the pay
ment of a tax of 81 year by ev-
Jerry citizen owning a dog, the dogs
collar being his badge of ownership.
The Freeman-Tribufne believes some
thing should be done to relieve the
homeless dog situation. They might
be impounded for short time and if
lno one claimed them or wanted them
they could be chloroformed. A dog
lis true friend and should not be
labused, but he is abused when forced
or allowed to make his. own living
upon the streets of city.

Igether by canvas bag"
AS the title infers, the subject of
the book is religion in its most in
tense form, and it contains series
|of well written sermons designed for
the use of ministers of the gospel,
and is very fine work for the pur-
pose, as it is full of bible quotations
and references. Quotations from the
Greek, Latin and German are to be
found throughout and one gets the
impression that Mr.. Gurnall must
have been a very learned man of his
day.
At the time this book was writ
ter and printed, Oliver Cromwell was
ruling in England with the iron
hand of the church, and there was
therefore great demand for this sort
of literature in the realm. During
this period America was very young,
indeed, but i find in the back part
of the book list of the books print
ed by Mr.. Calamy on his press and
among them one by Mr.. Cotton evil
IDENTIFY the Rev. John Cotton of our
own American literature.
If this old volume could talk it,,
could probably tell enough strange
and exciting stories about itself to
fill two volumes of its own size, but
not knowing anything about it ex-
|cept that it has been mysteriously
found in the attic of local school
building, we can write none of this
autobiography for it. The fact that
it was written and printed in far
away England, while our land was
still in it's infancy and under mon.
archial control is sufficient to make
it somewhat of a curiosity. There
is probably only one older in town
and that one is owned by Mrs. w. A.
Crandall, printed in the late Is humid
reds, and so Lincoln high is very for
tunate in it's possession.

]. A. Dunkel For City Manager

A petition is being circulated
among the people of Webster City
asking the council to appoint j. A.
Dunkel city manager. The Freeman
Tribune doesn't know the qualifica-
lions of Mr.. Dunkel for work of this
character, but he is a high grade
man and has had much experience in
handling men. The council ought
to give the petition fair considera-
|tion and if in their Judgment he is
the man for the place he should be
appointed. Several applications are
on file and it is to be. hoped that
the best man will be selected. For
itself the Freeman-Tribune has no
candidate to suggest or advice to of

New Parcel Locker.

Parcel lockers similar to those in
the Northwestern passenger station
have been installed in the ladies
waiting room of the Illinois Central
station and hereafter the agent will
be saved the trouble of keeping grips
in the office. The lockers, eight in
number, are of heavy steel in an olive
green shade and for the disposition
of one dime the traveller can leave
his bag and parcels in safe place.
A register on the locker should tally
at the end of the month with the
number of dimes found in the deposit

SPRAY YOUR TOMATOES EARLY

After conducting experiments for
number of. years it has been found
that the most practical means of
controlling tomato blight is by spray
ing. Practically all of both the lio-
uid and dust sprays have been tried
with the result that Bordeaux Mix
ture has given the best results by
far. If properly prepared, and thor
oughly applied ut frequent intervals
the mixture will to very large ex-
tent control the blight
In preparing the spray, if fifty
gallons is desired, weigh out four
pounds blucstone, lbs lump lime,
and measure out fifty gallons of wa
ter Any amount of the spray, more
or less, may be prepared by using
the above proportions. In about half
OF the water thoroughly dissolve the
bluestonc. Stake the lime slowly and
dilute it up with the remaining wa
ter Have it thoroughly dissolved.
After this the two solutions may be
poured together in the spray bar
rel. The separate solutions may be
kept for a long while if evapora-
ton is prevented, but after being
mixed the spray should be used. The
bordeaux mixture should never be
used except when fresh. 1t will be
distinctly advantageous if the spray
ing is commenced soon after setting
out the plants and if the season is
wet Mt least five applications should
be made. Obviously it will be better
to spray rs soon rs the plants have
dried off after a rain instead of lust
before rain. DO thorough Job
and you will be we'll repaid for your
trouble
