Sheen or Dogs.

According to a bulletin sent out by
the International Harvester Com
pany there are now about 10000
600 dogs in the U. s. The company
estimated that a common dog con-
sumes $4,000 worth of food yearly.
This amount of money put into hog
feed would keep a brood SOW for ten
months. Since the above estimate
was made on the value Of food con-
sumed by a dog, in 1913, prices
have advanced over 60 per cent, so
that today every dog is consuming
food valued at $4,000 per year. A
little figuring will show that these
dogs are consuming at least a BIZ
lion dollars worth of food annually,
and it is we'll known that the food
which ordinarily goes to dogs makes
fine feed for poultry, hogs, etc.
Dogs not only consume a lot OF
food and feed but many Of them des-
troy 10000 of neighbOrs' sheep OF
poultry during the year. The dog is
carrier of hog cholera and other dis
eases as we'll as insects, etc: The dog
in most cases is an all around
nuisance as we'll as a destructive
animal.
While it is true that the dog is
the friend Of the boy or girl on the
farm, there should be law or some
restrictions that would put the dog
on the same legal statute with live
stock, and TO take away his right t.
run at large day or night. Every
person on earth should be compelled
to keep, his dog on his own premises
and under control when away from
home. A dog to be of any value to
his owner must be about his owners
business. No longer will people OF
the farms or in the cities allow live
stock to roam at large, and neither
should the dog.

ticipation of the long journey, who
have been living with an aunt, Mrs.
David Holmes, Kenilworth road,

were taken to the depot yesterday and
at 1850 they, in company with their
aunt, started on the first lap of their
journey which will take them nearly
half way around the world. They
had their transportation and their
passports. Mrs. Holmes expected to
accompany them as far as Kansas
City, Mo-, where today she will get
them started on the journey to San
Francisco.
Jan. 21, 1916, these same children
who were then II and 10, left Mason
City with their father for Marking,

turned over to Marshall John Boland.
He admitted killing the woman "be-
cause she had left him." Before
turning the murderer over to the Of
ficers Marshall gave Parker a severe
pummeling, dislocating his shoulder
and fracturing his arm.

BOOtleggers Customers Holdups.

Perry, IA Minnesota bootleg
ger met with a lot of hard luck here
a few nights ago, but he is keeping
his troubles to himself and seeking
to get even without the aid of the
officers. The man arrived in the city
on an evening train from Mime
apolis and planted his goods in a
lonesome spot on the outskirts of
town. Picking out a few bottles, he
solicited business among the thirsty
and several fellows not only bought
what he had with him, but agreed
to take his entire stock at current
prices. He led them to the place and
displayed his wares only to find that
he was the victim of holdup men.
The wouldbe purchasers became rob-
bers and there whs nothing for the
victim to do but swallow the dose.
He left few hours later for Mime
apolis trying to invent a way of do
ing business in a safer manner.

Hooted at Soldier. Gets Beating.

Iowa City.-Mayor Frank X. Steb-
bins may have case to remind him
of Solomon's perpleXities soon. 4
soldier from France, with one leg
gone, hobbled along the street. An
onlooker, with the body of a man,
and the alleged soul of shrimp,
noted the limp of the manned man,
and hooted at him. The jeering one
was forthwith smashed in the face
several times by a patriotic student,
whose final blow caught the fellow
at the chin point, and left him sense
less on the sidewalk while the de
fender of the faith" walked away to
clean his hands of the blood from
his barred knuckles. If the mayor is
called on to try the patriot for as
sault and battery will he find the de-
PENDANT guilty, technically under the
law, and fine or imprisOn him or will
he praise him publicly, and discharge
him, regardless of the technicalities
of the Iowa statutes? That is the
problem.
