runnlni funds of the town, and con-
sequentIy the town this summer will
be minus the weekly concerts, which
70 rseveral years past have been
pleasing Thursday evening diversion

ment on the East Side storm sewer:

to make the assessment.
The mayor and clerk were author
iEed to enter into a contract with

by Councilman Rentzsch instructing
Solicitor Johnson to draw resolu-
ton for passage at the next meeting
authorizing the sale Of $4,000 worth

the south end park improvement, the
matter of cleaning up this unsightly
hole was dismissed for the present.

Young Priest HOnOred

Last Sunday was a gala day in To-
cal Catholic circles and a happy
event for the family of John Pax, liv-
ing just southwest of town, the oc-
casion being the celebration of a
First Solemn High Mass at the I'm
maculate Conception church by Rev.
Father George Pax, ordained to the
Priesthood at Carthagena on the 18th
inst
The young priest, after being es-
coTted frOEl the Priest House, by the

bers of the various church societies
and orders, was met at the door of
the church by his cousin, Miss En-
ma Pax, who after a brief and pleas
ing address Of congratulation pre-
sented him with a pretty floral
wreath.

SHERIFF
T ODE HIGH DOG CATCHER UNDER
NEW LICENSE LAW
JUST PASSED

Dog legislation the bane OF law.
makers for many years, is probably
disposed of for a few years by the
passage of the dog license law, fran
ed by George H. Platt of Ashtabula
and redrafted by committee from
the Ohio humane societies, the state
grange and the two houses.
The trouble always has been to
find the man who was to slaughter
the homeless, vagrant CANNES. The
Platt bill makes that duty a part of
the work of the sheriff in each coun-
ty. In addition to all other hOnors,
the sheriff has been handed another
and startling duty. He is the Gus
todian of the county dog pound; he
is the county dog catcher.
How well that responsibility will
be received by the sheriffs will be re-
vealed the next time the Ohio Sheriffs
Association holds its session. The
dog duty will not be unmentioned in
the proceedings, you can bet on that.
For forty years Ohio lawmakers
have struggled with dog laws. They
have been prepared, passed. found
valueless or Objectionable and repeal
ed. Law books and court records
show a number of murders over ef-
forts to make dog laws effective. Men
won't stand for any one, official or
otherwise about with law after
favorite dog 1t spells trouble and
the sheriffs will find out how much.
The old law made the dog tax a
lien on realty where the dog loafed.
The New York Central lines paid
$500 dog taxes one year in the state
because coal miners living in their
company houses, kept dogs. The
road had TO pay.
In Scioto county years ago one tax
assessor grew Solomonic in his wis
dom in locating dog homes. A dozen
dogs loafed in the street, but resi-
dents denied ownership. Then he
grew active. He threw stones at the
dogs, chased each one home. When
q dog would pick out house, run up
on the porch, turn about and bark at
the tax man down went the dog as
property of the man at that house.
And it stuck in law.
The assessor said no dog would
adopt a porch Of a strange house and
try to defend it. The court agreed.
The tax stuck.
In one of the large cities, tax as
SCISSOR lost his mind while trying to
fix values. He put dog in every
home in a ward where people were
sore on dogs. The dog notices went
out and the whole ward took day
off and nearly preeipitated a riot at
the court house. The tax assessor
had been taken to the hos
pital, but the county officials had to
undo the work he had spread over
the ward so generously.
Now it is all changed. The dog
catcher o. each county is the lord
high sheriff. The dogs may well be
ware.

them into ling, thus checking further
desertions.

WILTSHIRE
ALSO HARD HIT BY DESTRUCTION
OF Her ELEVATOR BY FIRE
-REcENTLY REBUILT

Fire uf unknown origin completely
destroyed the large elevator Of the
WILTSHIRE Grain company, at Will
shire, Van Vert county, Wednesday
evening. entailing a loss estimated at
$4,000 The principal stockhold-
Crs of the company are the Behymer
Brothers, Of Rockford.
The elevator was packed to its ut
most capacity with what, corn and
oats. The building was fully insur-
ed, but the grain was only lightly in
sured, the quantity on hand being ex-
ceptionally large owing to inability
to move the grain because of the car
shortage. Many farmers in the
northwest end of the county were in
terested financially in the company.
AS the result of report from the
Sewer Committee of the council made
at the regular meeting last Tuesday
night "a number of prominent resi-
dents of the town will probably be
bailed be ore Mayor Scranton in the
very near future for abuse of use of
the new Sanitary sewer system.
The recent heavy rain demonstrat-
cd to the sew er committee, beyond
doubt, that Iumors that many people
had tappd roof drains into the sani-
tary system, were true. This is a di-
rect violation of the ordinance gov
erning the system and is punishable
by severe fine. The committee al
so reported the rumOr that lot drains
had baen connected to the sanitary
system.
The matter is being investigated
and the Mayor will likely dish out
some unaporeciable presents II the
evidence can be adduced to substan-
tiats the stories

The cost Of seeding Irish potatoes

specialists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture point out, if,
instead Of using a whole potato for
planting, the gardener will cut out
from potatoes cOne-shaped pieces of
flesh, each containing an eye of the
potato. In this way only from one
fourth to one-ffth Of the flesh Of the
potato Will be needed to provide seed
and the remainder Of the potato can
be cooked for table use. These cones

der the usual methods, the sets range

Under this plan it Is not necessary
