for instance, helps to offset the in
creased price of oats and the horse is
entitled to his fair share.
| One of the most extreme cases worked
on this year was where an owner simply
through shiftlessness, allowed seven
head of cattle and three horses to starve
to death. Upon finding that letters
brought no results, I visited the farm,
caused fodder to be bought and kept
! track of the proceedings for a week. At
the end of that time, I found it neces-
lsary to sell his stock, (ffteen head of
cattle lefty to prevent his starving
them all. Think of the prolonged suf-
fering an animal must go through to
lactually starve to death, and then won
der how civilized person can be so
inhuman as to allow it. Under such
circumstances the Society feels ex-
tremely grateful to those who make
reports which allow necessary measures
60 be taken.
A few cases have been handled this
year affecting situations where good
Judgment on the part of friends and
neighbors has enabled the agent to rem
der effective aid. I wish on behalf of
the Society to thank all those who have
thus assisted and to state again that all
information received is discreetly used.
II think we never have had a case
where the offender has secured infor-
nation which enabled him to blame a
|neighbor for reporting him.
Naturally, considerable expense is in
lvolved in making the necessary trips
and devoting the required time in look
ing up and following up cases in vari-
Gus parts of the county, and I most
respectfully request Your Honorable
Body to appropriate the sum of $4,000
for this Society.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the
County Board for the appropriation
which has made it possible for the
Society to carry on the work more
effectively.
| would like to add before closing,

drawn children away from bon fires
where they built them in the ALLEYS
and put out the fire.
