POLICE DOGS HELP
I'M WAR ON CRIME
saaaciou. Animals &c With BlusesAta
on Patrol In Outlying Ssctions

New York.-New York's police dogH
are having ] large part in cleaning up
crime in the Fiatbush section Of
Brooklyn and IN making it place
where women may walk the streets
safely late at night wit nit fear Of an
noyance. The vigilance and activity
of the dogs have done much to rid this
cozy settlement Of detached houses Of
tramps, idlers and criminals. The dogs
have also done much in Riverdale,
where several were dispatched after d
series of burglaries.
The police department is devoting
considerable time to the serious train
ing Of these dogs with view to find
ing out to what extent they may be
used in certain lines of police work.
Kennels for the accommodation OF
twenty-four dogs have been built at
Foster avenue and Ocean parkway,
two blocks from the Parkville police
station, and a good sized dogs hos
pitaI has been constructed, in which
the animals when i'll may be isolated
and receive veterinary treatment.
There are twelve full grown Belgian
and German shepherd dogs in the de-
partment, and to these may be added
a litter of nine German shepherd pup
pies, which arrived at the kennels re-
Gently. The dogs are in charge of
Sergeant Joseph Hickey, who has thir-
teen patrolmen to assist him in their
handling. A dog is assigned to each
patrolman. Every night the police go
out to patrol with the animals The
dogs wear large leather muZzles, so
that they may not bite any one, for
they are powerful enough to tear a
man limb from limb

GETS HALF MILLION FOR
HIS OIL PRODUCING FARM
Texan at Goose Creek Waited
Patiently Until Things at
Last Came His Way.

Houston, TeX.-JOhn Gaillard sold
his farm at Goose Greek, Tex, recent
iy for 100000. There were 2677
acres, and he reserved one-half acre
the ancient burial ground of the Gail
lard family. The Gulf Production
company was the purchaser. 1t own
ed oil leases on most of the farm from
which GailIard had been drawing &
one-eighth royalty since the Goose
Creek oil field was opened several
years ago. Last August gusher oil
was discovered on the Gaillard place.
and since then the proprietor, known
as the silent magnate of Goose
Creek" has drawn a half million in
royalties. 1t was to avoid the pay
ment Of these royalties that the oil
company bought the farm outright.
John Gaillard is a man who speaks
only when necessary He was born on
the place forty-eight years ago. His
father took up the land in the early
days Of Texas. With wealth at his
command, John Gaillard does not keep
a telephone in the house His wife
likes the simple life as well as the hus-
band
Since 1907, when the first boring for
oil at Goose Creek was begun, John
Gaillard has silently watched the de-
velopment-and held on to his land
Hundreds Of thousands Of barrels have
gushed from the earth at Goose Creek
since last August, and from every bar
rel the Gaillard family drew its roy
atty.
If John Gaillard knows what to do
with his money he is not telling any
one. AS one of his neighbors remark
ed. "John doesn't need gyar-deen."

The opinions OF the Wisconsin su-

courts of other states as we'll Why?
Because Wisconsin has had strong,
able men on its supreme bench. Judge
r. y. Marshall has made an exception
ally strong record upon the bench, and
his opinions place him well up with
the bost jurists we have had. He is
vigorous, and of untiring energy and
industry. 1t is always recognized as
poor policy to subject an able, excell-
ent and fully competent judge to con-
tests for reelection. Judicial offices
should neither be dragged into politics
nor made the occasion of ardent self
seeking campaigns, especially when
there is a splendid Judge in the office,
able and willing to carry its burdens.
There are also special reasons why
the people of this community should
support Judge Marshall for re-elec-

in regard to good roads and other pub
lie matters. He has spent consider
able time in these matters for us, hav-
Ing been here on several occasions,
