GOT A DOG?. THEN BE
SURE TO PAY LICENESE

Records in the office of the city
comptroller, as compared with those
Of the past year, would indicate that
there are any number Of untaxed dogs
in the city, and as it is against the
Jaw to have in possession any such
animal without paying the tax as re
Quired by law, it was suggested that
all be given an opportunity TO pay
their tax by due warming before they
are made defendants in the city court
where additional costs will be i'm
posed, as we'll as a fine.
According to the records, not more
than one-half the usual number Of il
censes have been paid.
Male dogs are taxed 81, while fe-
males ERE double that cost. In case
untagged dogs are found, and are IN
claimed, they are conveyed to the
station, impounded for a certain pc
Rod, and then are killed.

CHICAGO EXCHANGE
URGES FOOD CONTROL
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 1S.-Suggestions
that the allies be asked to relinQuish
some of their wheat contracts in the
United States as a means for stabil-
izing the markets, were discussed
with Herbert Hoover by representa-
tives of the Chicago Board of Trade.
The amount of wheat bought by the
allies for future delivery is probably
larger than the reserve now in the
country. Representatives of the grain
exchange subsequently advocated the
creation of a government food ad-
ministration for the war period.
George W. Anderson, of Boston,
special assistant to the attorney gen
eral in the food investigation, told
the house agricultural committee that
unless the rising prices are checked
a social upheaval might be expected.
