Kent County Legislator Claims ReYnard
Kills Muskrats and Other Animals
Representative Taburton introduced
in the House Tuesday afternoon bill
to repeal the State law which makes it
unlawful and punishable by heavy
fine to kill foxes. Mr.. Tarhurton,
who represents the second district of
Kent county, which takes in Leipsic,
claims that the people of his district
are anxious to haye the law repealed
because of the destruction that foxes
are doing there to game and products.
He claims that ReYnArd had almost
eliminated other game in the vicinity
of Leipsic and kills hundreds of musk
rats, which are profitable to many
trsppers at this season of the year.
The bill. however, does not repeal
that section of the present law which
makes it unlawful and punishable by
fine of $50 to kill fox ahead of
the hounds.

-S.A. Fortner Request Held up

for Federal Building and Adjourns
S. A. Fortner Request Held up
Smyrna Town Council held its semi
monthly meeting Friday evening with
President S. ] Reynolds in the chair
and Messrs. Grieves, Wright and Rob-
erts present. Much of the time was
taken up in discussion over a contract
with the United States Postofice De-
partment for furnishing light, water
and sewer for the new Federal Build
ing in Smyrna A basis for agree
ment was finally decided upon.
Councilman s. A. Fortner had re.
quest before Council to sink a gaso-
line tank under the pavement in front
of his store, the Cummins building at
the -Four Corners, - to sell gasoline.
Opposition arose to it for the reason
1t was too near the w. c. T. U. Public
Drinking Fountain and might hinder if
not scare horses drinking, while a
motor car was thugging in such close
proximity taking on gasoline. The
Fortner request was presented by
President Reynolds and was held up
TOR action until all members could be
present and pass upon it. Mr.. Grieves
reported a serious shortage of coal but
did not anticipate any trouble. Some
citizens have come to the rescue of
the Power Plant and will give up
their al if the failure of cars to ar
rive should handicap the plant. An
other batch of bills including monthly
salaries was allowed and Council ad-
journed.

After this demonstration can anyone

The village in which this sacrilese
had been committed had no sooner
been retaken by the French than ofi-

now. in every city and hamlet in France
pictures are showing the exact extent

The French government early In the
war. found that printed publicity con-
cernine the doings Of the army was
not suflcient to keep up to a high pitch
the interest and enthusiasm Of the
folks back home"
The resort TO movies brought instan-

able 20 see for itself every important

flock by the millions to the movies
where. at least once a week, the gov
