actions, if not reason.

DOG CLUB TO FIGHT
 FUR DOCS AND LAW
 AGAINST POISONING

At a second meeting of the Copper State Kennel club at the chamber of commerce last night, the principal business before the meeting was dis cussion of the present inadequate law for the protection of dogs against dog poisoners and persons who scatter poisoned food around The law now only provides a fine of from $5 to $50. It was proposed to ask Governor Campbell to include in his message to the legislature request for the enact ment of a law making this offense a straight misdemeanor with the punish ment of a fine up to $500 or imprison- ment in the county jail for six months or both fine and imprisonment
 The club also endorsed the manner in which the humane work of the city with respect to both horses and dogs is carried on.
 This club was recently organized and since then has increased its member ship 100 per cent. It is expected that the membership will shortly be in- creased to 300. The membership in- cludes not only most of the best known dog owners in the city as well as many

Several Varieties
The spring is the favorite time for
planting trees. People are then look
ing forward to the beauty of sum
mer and thinking Of improving their
home places. But many experts con.
slider the fall equally good for plant
ing. Certainly the work of improv-
ing the town ought to keep up in both,
seasons.
. 1t is a problem nowadays to get
trees that will offer firm resistance tn
insect pests. In the early days of this
country elm trees were special fay
orite. The old time villagers used to
go out in gangs and plant them along
their streets. Thousands of old tiEle
towns are today shaded with wonder
full rows of ancient elms, whose in
terlacing branches form lovely goth
ic arch.
The wide sweeping curve of elm
foliage has unique beauty. In elm
