dog is his property, and he has just
as much right to claim and expect
protection for him, as the man who
owns n COW, horse or sheep.
Now Mr.. Lloyd dwells at length,
upon the fact, that TAX PAYER"
didn't sign his name. Had he cared
to do so, he could easily have found
out who he was. by writing the Editor
IF the Central Record, published at
Lancaster, KY, and the first paper to
publish his article. When the Editor
asked "Tax Payer" whether or not,
he wanted to sign MS name, "Tax
Payer" replied. at is immaterial with
me-.
In conclusion. shall now endeavor
TO answer Mr.. Lloyds personal ques-
TORS, in the order, he has asked them.
First, he wants to know how many
kennels. TAX Payer" is interested
in.
Answer:-One kennel, owned by
A. V. Huyler, 81 Maiden Lane, N. Y,
and Woods Walker, Paint Lick, Ky.
Second: What kennel tax, he
himself paid?
Answer:-Twenty-fve dollar ken
mel tax
Third: How many dogs, he listed
with the Assessor?
No specified number, as this is un-
necessary.
Fourth: How many license tags
he got from the County Clerk?
Answer:-Fifty, and let me say
right here for Mr.. Lloyd's enlighten-
ment, that this tax is just about half
! would have paid under the old law,
and further, that ! have never failed
to list my dogs, with Assessor, and
pay tax on same, since the original
dog law was enacted
Fifth: Would me for him to
state whether he il, or ever was. a
member Of STATE. Or national Assoc
ciaticr.
Answer: Am a member OF the Ala.
Fox Hunters Association, and have
been a member of the National.
Sixth. Was he ever member of
"a sheep growers association?
Answer. No. Have raised sheep
practically all my life.
Seventh: Was his article prcpar-
ed in the collaboration with other fox
hunters or members of fox hunters
| Association?
Answer:-This article was never
discussed with any one, fox hunters
or otherwise, nor ever seen by any
one. until after it was published, ex-
cept a cousin of mine. who sometimes
hunts with me.
Now if there is any thing further,
| gentleman would like to know about
my private affairs, l shall be glad to
inform him.
Now Mr.. Lloyd, I have told you
who ! am, who are YOU?
Respectfully,
WOODS WALKER.
Paint Lick, Kentucky.

other expenses, the fact remains the
same, that over s1O0,O00.OO Of the
tax, collected, is not paid out for
sheep killed by dogs, nor goes to the
school fund.
Now in one point at least, there
seems to be a difference Of opinion,
between Mr.. Lloyd and the Commits
sioner Of Agriculture. as to who are
the benefciaries Of this act Mr..
Lloyd says. il is for the benefit of the
sheep owners, they made it, and il is
theirs. The Commissioner Of Agri.
culture says, 1.-THE real purpose of
this Act. was first. TO promote, ad-
vance. stimulate and protect, the
sheep industry, and Second, to pro-
'ect the licensed dog.
In so far as protecting the licensed
dog is concerned, this is a joke. The
law provides that the sheriff shall
have $500 for Selling and impound-
ing licensed dog. and $l.00 if he is
killed, yet does not provide a penny
for killing an unlicensed dog.
Mr.. Lloyd has very aptly compared
the new dog law, to a gun that is
easy on trigger.
This reminds me Of its striking
similarity, to another gun, namely
the big Gum, with which the Ger
mans bombarded Paris, at a distance
Of seventy five miles, but on account
OF its being too expensive, and ac-
compljshing so little, was discarded,
after firing some half dozen shots.
Like the big Gun" the new dog
law will be discarded. after firing onc
or two shots. because it is too ex-
ronsive, and acc ompiishes so little.
Now ! think the suggestion of Mr.
Lloyd. THAT as the sheep raisers
passed this act. they be let alone and
let them amend il themselves. il they
think il necessary, is little selfish.
This might be satisfactory, if only
sheep raisers were affected by the
law, but ! believe that statistics will
bear me out in the statement. that
there are more men who own dogs.

lieve ! ami in error. when ] say. that

cause he is his own, believes when he

during the year 1919, and yet the
year is only one third gone, and
twould be difficult to estimate in ad-
vance, what the losses will be in the
next eight months.
Now in regard to the costly ma
chinery Of the law. Mr. Lloyd says,
This is the sheep growers own law.
They made it, and il they wish to pay
well the Assessors, County Clerks,
Sherifs. etc. pray let them do So.
This is all right. IL they are paying
with their own money, but all wrong,
when paying with some one else's.
Mr.. Lloyd says. IAN Of us have
seen SO much Of graft. that one is
constantly expecting it,, then he
must pardon me for saying. that
am far from convinced. that this law.
as well as many others, is not full. to

Mr. Lloyd says. II IL quite possible
that the operation Of this law, will SO

funds arising from the law. will more
than pay the claims.
In all probability 1t will. yet how
much sooner would il become self

right here it is interesting to note
one Of his comparisons. He says,

PASTOR AND WIFE
MAKE STATE
MENT.
The Rev. and Mrs. j. A.
Benicke Offer High
Praise for TrutOna.

Louisville, Kentucky, May 7th.
The Rev. j, A. Benicke, pastor of
the South Louisville Presbyterian
Church and his wife, who reside at
BOIL South Fourth Street, are among
the many prominent Louisville resi-
dents who are praising Trutona, the
perfect tonic.
IL was in a generally run down
condition on account of the flu,
Mrs. Benicke said recently Il was
continually bothered with indigestion,
My limbs felt weak and trembly,
could hardly walk up stairs at times
"Trutona has really put me Oh ny
feet again. The food | eat digests
properly now as I'm never bothered
with constipation. thirk highly of
TrItona as a laxative and tonic. My
h.usoand has been taking Trutona,
too. w are beth grateful to the
new medicine"
When such people as the Rev. Mr..
Benicke and his wife indorse nedi-
cine it is surely proof of that medi-
cine's merit. Trutona is especially
beneficial for stomach, liver and kid
ley troubles and the lie. 1t has
proven a fine reconstructive tonic
following attacks of pneumonia, in
fiuenza and the like.
Trutona is now being introduced
and explained in Lancaster at X. +.

Over in the fields of Flanders the
poppies will soon be blooming above
the graves of the thousands of young
Americans who gave their lives that
stay-at-hcmes might continue to dwell
in security and enjoy the liberty and
prosperity that is above all else
peculiarly American.
Those thousands of lives are gone
forever. We cannot bring them
back.
But there are thousands of other
Americans still ever there who offer
ed their lives just as freely and whose
return we may hasten by subscribing
literally to the coming Victory-Lib-

And whose comfort. pending their
return, we may insure.
To every one of these khaki-clad
youngsters We owe an individual
debt. A debt greater than We will

A debt that cannot be measured in
dollars and cents.
The debt Of gratitude for the in

When the Salvation Army folks started
over seas to minister to the comfort and
welfare of our soldiers they didn't have a
big fund provided for their work-fact is
they didn't have enough money to get to
first base
Did they stop and hold their hands or
take months of time in soliciting funds?
Hardly. They borrowed every dollar they
could and then mortgaged all their New
York property for funds to get their people
over there and start the work Of relief.
Mind you, they borrowed and mort
gagged so that they could give to our men!
so that when these men of ours came
