ATTENTION DOG OWNERS

The recent session Of the 1913
Kentucky Legislature enacted into
law an act relating to dogs, requir-
ing them to be listed with the as
SCISSOR at the time of assessing
properly as required by law, pro-
viding for license and tags for each
and every dog to be issued by the
county clerk Of the various counties
in Kentucky, and for failure to list
each dog, as well as for any other
violation of the act, a penalty of
not exceeding 800 or Imprisonment
of not exceeding three months, or
both, at the discretion Of the court
is prescribed.
"The word "owner" when applied
to the proprietorship of dog; shall
include every person having a right
of property in such dog, and every
person who keeps or harbors such
dogs or has it in his care, and every
person who permits such dogs to re-
main on or about any premises oc-
cupied by him."
In order to achieve the results in
tended by the passage of the act, 1t
will be necessary for rigid en-
forcement of this measure. There
fore, it behooves every one to list
each and every dog with the as
SCISSOR.
