The Delta Pet Dog Poisoner

To my knowledge three pet dogs
have recently been the victims of
poison, Mr.. NJ. Jornsons pretty little
pet Fricksey. Mr.. Wigram's friendly
big Tige and Mrs. r1agg's intelligent
little. Penny. Beside the horror of
their slow, painful deaths the owners
will long miss the kind knowing look
the tender sparkling eye. the wagging
tail that mutely told their love. Love
is scarce and friendship is scarce and
so they are worth while even in a
dog" | noticed in one of the recent
magazines this tribute to a dog
The eye of the dog was brighter
than the eye of his destroyer. the
heart of the dog was whitcr and
purer than the heart of the one who
killed him. The soul of the dog was
bigger ana more worthy of immor-
'altty than the soul of the poisoner
The owners grief was bigger trib-
ute to the dog than humans will ever
Pay the assassin" 1t will be very
well indeed for many n man if he
can stand erect at the last day be
fore the great white throne and have
it said of him that he loved and lived
as truly and decently as his dog.

To the Voters of Delta County.

Having been nominated by the Re
publican party as a candidate foI
County Assessor of Delta county,
feel that am in a way obligated to
make canvass of the county in order
to meet as many of the people as pos
sible before election.
In county affairs, politics, to a great
extent, are eliminated. Voters cast
their ballots for the candidate they
think best qualified for the office
sought and they should be afforded
the privilege of meeting the man or
woman seeking office SO they can
form their own opinion of the candi-
date.
/ But we all realize these are unusual
times and like every other patriotic
citizen, feel that our paramount duty
is to win the war in which we are all
engaged. So our victorious boys and
girls 1--WE must not overlook the fact
that the daughters and mothers of our
country are helping to fight our bat
tlest1es) can be at home once more,
with peace secure for the world
At present my part of this war duty
is to take care of the crops that are
now matured
Therefore feel it will be impossible
for me to meet to any great extent
the people of Delta county before the
election in November. I would like
very much to be able to do so, but |
believe all good citizens will agree
with me; that conditions do not war
rant the sacrifice of time it would
take to make a personal canvass of
the county.
| wish however, to state that if
am elected assessor will, to the best
of my ability make a fair and impair
tial assessment of the property of the
county as efficiently and economically
treating all interests and all persons
as nearly right as I know how to do.
Very respectfully yours
GEORGE H. MERCHANT.

Joe HARRINToN FOR SHERIFF.
, ~>> & & . . . . . . q . .

In selecting the name of Joe Har-
rington for sheriff the Democrats be
heved that they had taken the best
material available. Having been con
tinuously in business for nearly 20
years. and knowing the community
from edge to edge, he is eminently
qualified to fill the office.
II everyone obeyed the law. the
sheriff would be mere figurehead,
but since the duties connected with
The sheriffs office are such that the
incumbent must rub shoulders with
nay, often forcibly control-the rough
est element known, the outlaw, the
irunkard, the murderer and the mani
&c, his is vastly different situation
from any others within the walls of
a county court house.
Jce Harrington is the man for the
place. Remember the time. the place

WATCH FOR LICE AND MITES
Unless Parasites Are Controlled They
Have Marked Effect on Number

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture9
Poultry raiserS should be on the
lookout for lice and mites, for they
get buster than ever with the coming
of warm weather. Unless they are
controlled at this season they win
have marked effect on the number
of eggs produced by laying hens, and
the number of chicks raised. Poul-
try houses should be thoroughly clean
ed, whitewashed, or sprayed with kero-
sene or kerosene emulsion at this sea-
son. The hens should also be provided
with a good dust box, and insect pow
der should be busted among their
feathers.
Mites usually stay in the cracks OF
the henhouses and under the roosts In
the daytime, where they lay their eggs.
AT night when the fowls go to roost
the mites come out of their hiding
places, attach themselves to the fowls,
and feed by sucking blood from the
birds To get rid of them the houses
should be cleaned and sprayed thor
oughly, including the nests, the drop
ping boards, and roosts. The poultry
house that is kept clean and has plen-
ty of sunlight and ventilation Is usual
ly free from mites. Immediately after
cleaning the house should be white
washed or sprayed. An effective white
wash is made by shaking one-half peck
of lime in 20 gallons of water. Add
one pound of salt, previously dis
solved, and two quarts of crude carr
bolic acid, or one gallon of stock dip,
and apply the mixture with spray
pump or brush. Kerosene, crude oil,
or some good preservative manufac-
tured from coal tar, sprayed about the
interior of the house, especially In the
cracks and crevices, is an effective
means Of killing mites. IL kerosene Is
used it is necessary to continue to
spray every 10 days or two weeks

Johnnie O'Reilly was elated. Al
ready he could see the hills Of Cuba
doing behind their purple wells; in
fancy he felt the fierce white heat from
close-walled streets, and scented the
odors of "mangly" swamps. He heard
the ceaseless signing of the royal
palms. How he had hungered for it
all; how he had ragged at his delays !!
It had seemed so small a matter to
return; 1t had seemed so easy to seek
out Rosa and to save herl Yet the
days had grown into weeks; the weeks
had aged into months. Well, he had
done his best; he had never rested
from the moment of Rosa's first ap-

once, but there would be no turning
back this time-rather q firing squad
