laws that we have, will be necessary;
laws which recognize the fact that
vagrant dog is a menace to the pro-

the wool industry, but that of poul-

penalty for those who insist upon
owning ours without keeping them
under proper restraint. Dogs should
not be allowed to wander away from
their owners control, as otherwise
they will become a public nuisance
The owner should be held financially

Color of Rubber Immaterial

There is considerable difference of
opinion respecting the relative merits
of the different colors of rubber
goods to be found on the markets.
Some people pin their faith on gray
some on red, others prefer black and
still others insist on white. The fact
is that the mere color of rubber is
absolutely unreliable so far as in
dicating the quality is concerned, for
rubber, no matter whether it is of
high or low quality, can be colored
white, black, gray, rec, or almost any
other color. Frequently the addition
of coloring matter weakens the ma
tural rubber for the reason that the
coloring contributes nothing to the
toughness of any other desirable
quality and therefore is essentially an
adulterant.
Pure rubber as it comes from the
tree is liquid or a creamy white
color. Sometimes it is coagulated to
retain its natural color but usually
it is smoked and this process changes
the color to a transparent brown. Be-

CONTROL THE DOGS
MARAUO|NC OURS
MENACE TO SHEEP
SHEEP FARMERS DISCOURAGED
BECAUSE OF RAVAGES OF
WORTHLESS OURS

During a visit TO certain sheep
raising sections of the United States
it was noticed that numerous pas
lures that formerly supported flocks
of sheep and lamsb were now desert
ed and were becoming over-grown
with weeds and bushes. A little in
quiry produced the information that
sheep-killing dogs were now so nu-
merous that no flock of sheep was
safe from their attacks unless sur
rounded by dog-proof bulwark. Two
or three decades ago sheep were pro-
fitably kept on many of the hills and
in numerous stretches of woodland
where nutritious grasses and the lux
uriant browsing which fiourished kept
the flocks in thrifty growing condi-
ton.
The owners of focks are occasion
ally obliged to shoot some marauding
cur, but public sentiment at that time
supported them in the protection of
their sheep. Now, however, while
support is not wholly withdrawn, the
dogs have become 20 numerous that
the authorities are almost overwhelm-
ed If the farmers of Michigan could
be assured that their sheep would be
allowed TO feed unmolested at the
present day, numerous focks would
quickly be purchased. They have UNI
excelled pasturage for sheep during
the summer months and would will
ingly make provision for their care
during the winter. The prices of
wool, mutton, and lamb now command

fore il can be used commercially it is
necessary TO vulcanize il with sui
phur. If both rubber and sulphur are
pure the vucanizing product will
have a gray color. II stretched out,
however, and held toward the light it
will be found to be almost transpar-
ent and to have pale brown or
creamy color.
Other colors result from the addi-
ton Of various chemical substances
intended to give the rubber special
properties. Usually these are put in
to tougher the rubber and make it
wear longer. Oxide of zinc is
common toughening agent in the rub
Der extensively used in the manufac-
ture of automobile tire terads. Lamp
black or certain organic chemicals
are used in producing black rubber.
Rubber is colored red by the addition
of ahtimony or oxides of iron. A
common color for tires is gray which
is produced by a combination of lead
and zinc oxide. The war has increas-
ed the price of imported zinc oxide
more than 400 per cent and this has
resulted in limiting the supply of
white rubber.
The essential qualities in tires of
course are toughness and the ability
to withstand hard wear. 1t is fool
lish to insist on having certain colors
exactly the same as good rubber. Re-
putable manufacturers can be trust
ed to turn out as good a product as
they know how to make; the color Of
the finished product is only incidental.

Caught in Shaft

Rockford.-F. A. Simons, aged for
ty-fve years, living near Edgerton,
while trying to put on belt in his
lath mill recently, got caught in the
main shafting and was wound up on
the shaft, passing through space
three feet by eighteen inches in size
between shaft and a beam. His
clothing was completely torn. from his
body, with the exception of his shoes
and stockings, before he was thrown
to the cement floor of the mill. He
received three fractures of the right
arm, broken and dislocated shoulder,
and the whole body frightfully bruis-
ed. Barring internal injuries he is
expected to recover. DR.. Pearsall was
called to attend him.

Prof. f. C. Titus in an address
states that light is much better cure
for disease than hot-water bag or
poultice. He says that when rays of
light fall on the skin and some are
arrested by one layer of skin and
some by another, while some are not
stopped until they have penetrated
the simultaneous tissues. When the
light is thus arrested it produces radi-
ant heat, which has a higher pene-
trating power than convection heat,
such as generated by poultices, etc.
Radiant heat penetrates two inches or
more, while convection heat, is excit-
ed principally on the surface.

Real Leather Costly

The automobile has created such
demand for upholstery leather that
good leather is very expensive. The
cheaper grades, made by splitting
hide several times, are unsatisfactory.
Artificial leather of good wearing
quality and god appearance is being

quantities for in many cases consum-
ers specify it instead of real leather.

Rockford.-One of the patriotic
women Of this village sought to out
Hoover the man who is responsible
for the many food-saving plans in the
country. She conceived the idea of
having a new recipe for bread and
planned on mixing buckwheat flour
with wheat flour and thus cut down
on the wheat supply. All went we'll
as far as this story will go. The lady
mixed the -four, set the bread and
then went to dream of getting her
name in the papers. She could per-
haps have accomplished the results
desired if she had not mixed her
wheat with self-rising buckwheat
-four and any lady, who makes her
own bread will know the result. There
was bread dough all over the oven and
all over the kitchen too. Just what
become of the would-be bread is not
known.

Escaped by Accident

Cloverdale.-Rex Mcleod, of Glow

corps unit that sailed on the Inflated
Tuscania, was fortunate in failing TO
embark, although he felt keenly the
disappointment of his company's de-
parture without him. He was detail
ed to clean up and put the quarters in
order, and then join the company at
the point of sailing. When he and
two companions reached the point of
embarkation the ship had six hours
of its voyage out. When the news
came of the disaster he lost no time
in informing his parents, John M.
Mcleod and finally, of his safety.

Dispatch Trains by Phone

Portland.-A telephone for use in
dispatching trains was installed m
the Portland depot last Tuesday by
railway linemen and the system is
now in universal use along the entire
Big Rapids, Howard City and Detroit
division. The messages are trans
mitted over copper circuits, which are
the best known safeguard against
Misunderstanding or confusion Of
orders, and the new system has many
advantages over the old. In remov-
ing the necessity of telegraph know
ledge in train dispatching much of the
responsibility that has heretofore
rested entirely upon the shoulders Of
Station Agent Holtz can now be
shifted to the other employees, and
under the new system it will be pos
sible to keep a more accurate tab on
the movement of trains. The system
has been in use on the larger divi-
ions for several years, but the branch
roads, as usual, are the last to get it.
