MANY CANNES SENT
HENCE BY OFFICERS
Noticeable Decrease In the Lo.
cal D0u Population.

Janitor "Squinch" Rhodes, ably as.
sisted and abetted by members OF
the police force. working under his
direction to enforce the dog law
and in all about 25 dogs have been
impounded. In some cases the own
ers came forward and rescued their
CANNES from early dispatch to the
dog heaven, but in most of them
the dogs were sent out OF this
world in painless and expeditions
manner.
The city officials declare that
they mean just what they say when
they state the dog law will be en-
forced. and most people will accord
them their utmost moral support
whatever that means in relation to
dogs. The number of worthless ca
mines that can be found here would
bring feeling of envy to the heart
of a Turk. and while many of them
are harmless, other are vicious and
dangerous. Any dog worth having
is worth paying 81 for the officials
figure, and they propose to see that
the dollar is paid or the dog dis
patched.

VERY MANY THINGS
ARE SUBJECT TO TAX
Gasoline Will Bear Burden of
10 Cents Per Gallon.

Washington, July 10.--A proposal
TO lay war tax on all articles of
every day life except a necessary
minimum of food and clothing was
made to the house ways and means
committee which met to begin fran
ing the new $4,000 5000 revenue
bill.
NO definite decision was reached.
but it was the practically .unani-
NOUS opinion OF the committee that
the numerous articles now free Of
duty must be taxed.
The treasury department sent in a
list of articles that are to be taxed.
Shoes costing more than speci-
fed amount must bear their share
of the war burden Expensive clothes
for both men and women viii also
be heavily taxed with the tax grow
ing greater as the price increases.
Automobile taxes will be consid-
ersbly increased. It viii be gradual
ed from SIS TO $50, according to

tax on gasoline NOT only for the pur-
pose of raisi1g ~-~care but with
view to cutting down consumption

Taxes will also be placed on
household servants, jewelry. motion

In addition to these there will be
a long list of articles which are con-

'MR. CAVE WILL HELP
!, DAIRY INTERESTS
Expert Here From State COL
Iege of Agriculture.

The natural advantages in regard
to market facilities and climatic
conditions have long made Berke-
ley and Jefferson counties desirable
sections in which to carry on dairy
ing. As anything planted seems to
grow, given fair season, and the
proper preliminary attention, no diff.
ficulty is experienced in raising
crops with which to feed dairy
COWS. either on pacture or in the
stable. AS consequence of these
natural advantages, the dairy in
dustry in Berkeley county has been
growing rapidly. Whereas, there
were but few herds 10 years ago,
there are three or four times as
many now, and one can see silos
most anywhere one cares to look.
With the idea OF encouraging the
production of necessaries, milk and
butter, Mr.. H. w. Cave, dairy spec
ialist of the College of Agriculture,
Morgantown, w. Va, is spending a
few days in the county. Mr.. Cave
will visit number of the dairy
herds as well as other farms in the
county, advising silo construction
this Fall He will cooperate with
the Berkeley County Farm Bureau
in carrying on silo building cam
paign for the present season. Il is
hoped that at least ten, II not more
silos either of tho tile, wooden stav
or home made kind will be CON
structed. The Extension Depart.
ment proposes to lend all the as
sistance in the way of expert adj
vice and labor during the process
OF contraction as can be provided.
Mr.. Cave will attend meeting of
the Vanclewesville Farmers Club
tonight and will also present at the
Swan Pond Farmers Club meeting
tomorrow night, in both cases speak
ing with special reference to silo
construction and the Cow Testing
Tssociation work in the Eastern
Panhandle.
The Cow Testing Association will
be reorganized for the ensuing year
He expects to visit practically all
of last years members as well as
number of prospects for next year.
The Association ends its work for
19171S on July 81, beginning new
year on August LIST.
Believes In Cooperative Purchase
The Falling Waters Farmers Club
which held it's meeting at the Broad
Lane. school last night, believes in
the saving which comes from the
cooperative purchasing of supplies.
The members of the club also be-
'lieve in Lining their soils An order
for carload OF fertilizer and for
IS ton car of mari lime was made
UP during the meeting and VIII be
delivered to the members some
time in August. This is the first in.
stance of the cooperative purchas-
ing of mari for Inning soils. 1t is be-
ing secured from the Lime Mari Co.,
ut Charles -5E-l, w. Va, for $3.50
per ton on boasd cars at their plant.

S0MGLESS BIRDS MAY BE
EATEN ON MEATLESS DAYS
(By international News service)

(By international News Service)
Spokane, Wash, July 10.-Son-
less canaries may be used for food
on meatless days. At least this is
the only present solution for the dis
position of three birds ON hand at
the Red Cross headquarters here.
The birds won't sing and there is
little value in their beauty. The only
thing left Is their food value, which
is not to be seoffed at in these time
of high meat prices.

WILL BEING SUIT
 AGAINST PLUMBING CONCERN
.open Gas Main to Blame For Explo-
 sion Which Wrecked Restaurant.

An open gas main which was the supply pipe from the street line was to blame for the accumulation of gas that exploited and wrecked the rest
 aurant of VelIis and Dinaas on State street in New London on Friday morn
 ing, according to James Vellis, one Of
 the proprfe.ors, who was in this clty on Saturday.
 Pictures of the damage done at the place were taken. on Saturday and will
 he used as exhibits in d lawsuit that
 is to fe brought against the plumbing
 concern that did the work. They
 show the open end of the gas main
 which had, been left unplugged so that
 it poured a large volume cG gas that exploded with terrific force when the plumber went looking for the leak and lit candle.
 Carpenters were at work at the rest aurant on Saturday letting down the floor which had ibeen raised from } to inches by the explosion, but furth- CT work was stopped by advice of at- torneys for the firm who were drawing up the papers, to be served in tEe | suit
 In order to lower the floor it was necessary to- clear up the new fancy tiling that had been laid and this floor | will have to be relaid. It has beer estimated that the damages wit amount to from S4s00e to $5s000. The restaurant was to have been opened up for business on Saturday but thf l repairs will put the opening date for ward some time now
