Complaints have been in circuia-
ton for quite a time in regard to the
stray dogs that are interfering with
personal property, and food especial
", in the north part Of our city. In
deed, this is the time when all are
saving every bit they can and II
harlly seems fair that a neighbors
dog or a dog without an owner should
slip into the hen house and eat the
eggs. One instance alone is the case
of a stray dog killing three turkey
hens in one afternoon. No patriotic
American citizen can kill hens today
so should those in power allow TINS
waste to go on? 1t is to be hoped
that some action will be taken at once
to eliminate this nuisance.
