There are one hundred less dogs in
the town of Middlebury than there were
twenty years ago according to Town
Clerk j. M Burke. The licenses

the expiration of the time limit for
granting licenses at the usual rate,
numbered ITO, as against 275 which Mr..
Burke had on his books twenty years

all the dogs in town, but if any are left
unprotected with license their owners
will have to pay an additional fee to get
a license between now and the 18th of
May. After that date Constable Moore
is required to execute the death SEN

Red Cross Notes
BY MRS. LON DICKEY

Whose phone is number l4l-L!
Why, its Red Cross headquarters, to
be sure, installed Monday morning,
the gift of the Bowen Telephone COM
pany. The work hours? Every week
day from to IL A. M, and from 2
TO 4:30 =. M, and there is a special
day set apart for you, arranged in or
der that there will be no confusion
as to your time and your chairman.
Members having no phone are re-
quested to notify their chairman on
the day previous whether or not to
expect them, and if you cannot come
for the morning session, come fro
the afternoon. The work is outlined
and simple.
1t is absolutely imperative that we
continue to mobilize our working
forces. The men of Fitzgerald have
agreed to back rs financially and the
work is ours to do We feel impclled
to quote Emerson Hough in recent
article, "The Indefinite American At
titude Toward War and When Shall
il End" in the following striking
paragraph:
I'VE ought to back the Red Cross
more. We ought to help every pa
triotic league, We ought to do these
things. But none the less it is quite
evident that we are not doing these
things in anything like the spirit or
TO the extent that we ought. We have
no war consciousness. For 40 years
France has had such conscience
England has never had anything else
Germany has neen planning foI q
generation how to develop war as an
industry, as a business-she has moth
ing but war sense. In America we
have developed only an accustomed
ness to case of life and financial ac-
cumulations. 1t will take time to
change these matters. Perhaps not
much time. The change may come
within six months, or three 1t is
bound to come in some horrifying
shock, some tremendous cataclysmal
event. Then we will all know that
we are at war, and that this is our
war
Troops in France are getting into
closer touch with the fighting fronts.
They know more than we do But
some time stroke OF lightning will
fall which will show us what disaster
really is. The slaughter of a division,
the sinking of half fleet-some tire
mendous calamity such as this war
alone could produce-then America
will be at war"
