COVE COMMENTS

Sunday, October 6, started out
from Cove per auto to find Lisa
beula on a visit to Mrs. McCutch-
con. Always heard there was a
road by the cemetery. Found a
trail and dipped into the valley {;
got stuck on "A greasy hill /; turned
back and took the road through
Paradise Valley (hope Paradise
will have better roads,. After
navigating a lot of near roads,
reached our objective safely in
time for dinner. It's certainly
easier to find Lisabeula on a chart
than it is by map.
The Rev. Frost, with Mrs. Me
Cutcheon, were welcome visitors
to Cove last week. 1t was the
Reverend s first visit and he was
very favorably impressed with
the prosperous look of Cove, and
particularly noticed the numerous
streams Of water in this favored
locality.
If Nashon-Maury do not go over
the top in this Fourth Liberty
Loan drive, it's from sheer inabil-
ity. But where the folks are un-
able to take up a bond they are
investing in War Savings Stamps.
1t would be an impossibility for
the Sons of Freedom to win this
war if the army and navy were
not coordinated in every branch
to the uttermost extent. Yet by a
strange inconsistency the vital in
dustries of agriculture, munitions,
shipbuilding, etc, are not mobil-
ized, but are left to the exploita-
ton of individuals and corpora
tons for their private profit, while
noncssential industries are send
ing the price of their products
sky high, and labor has to con
stantly have increasing wages,
creating what Lloyd George aptly
termed the vicious circle. y
Government control of certain
industries is good as far as it goes.

DOGS DESTROYING
WAR GARDENS
MAY Be KILLED

PHILADELPHIA, July 2T.-Stray
dogs are the worst enemies of war
gardens An example OF the havoc
they create was brought to the atten-
ton OF the Food Administration yes
terday. in a letter written by a wom-
an in South Bethlehem, complaining
violently against the damage wrought
by her neighbor's pets in her garden.
/, The letter reads:
N"My garden was destroyed on June
27, in the morning, between / and .
o'clock, by a dog. I chased away the
dog, but he soon come back. My hus-
band and a woman complained to the
owner OF the dog, but he just laughed
and said he had as much money as
we had and he did not care.
Dog Owner Abusive.
"Afterward that he came to my
house and abused me. Then my hus-
band had him arrested by Alderman
Berg for the damage to the garden,
but we were told that there was no
law against dogs and that they could
run loose. Now, il that is the case.
there is no reason why we should
keep up our garden work.
1--WE have two sons in the army.
one OF them in France. and we
thought that by turning our backyard
into a garden we could help them and
the nation: but II this is the case, our
work goes for nothing.
Wont you send a man and investi-
gate?
.P.S.-Since all this has happened,
the man with the dog has bought
second dog, SO you see he is not
afraid"
Food AdmInIstratIOn's View.
The Food Administration points out
that the Pennsylvania dog law is suf-
ficiently broad, IL properly enforced
by local authorities, to protect gar
deners, as well as shop owners. The
main provisions OF this law require
that every dog owner before June Is
of each year must obtain a license to
keep a dog, that every dog must be
kept tied up or confined between sun
set and sunrise of each day; that II
is an offense against the law for any
person to keep a dog without a
license; that il is the duty OF every
police officer OF the Commonwealth
to kill every dog which does not bear
a license tag; that every police Of
ficer is/liable to a penalty OF 50 for
each failure to kill an unlicensed
dog: that he is entitled to a fee OF 81
for every dog he kills: that any per
son, an officer or otherwise. may kill
any dog which he sees in the act of
pursuing any live stock or attacking
human beings. whether or not such
dog bears a license tag. Finally, any
unlicensed dog that enters any field
shall be considered a private nuisance
and the owner or tenant of the field,
or his agents or servants. may kill
the dog while it is in the field with
out incurring responsibility. This
last clause constitutes a protection
for the gardener.
The act Of the legislature places
the responsibility for enforcing the
law on the secretary of agriculture,
the commissioners OF each county, and
on police officers, including consta-
bles, game. fish, and forest wardens
