Beagle Hound Warmly
Defended by Breeder

| Dear Sir:-A;ood night. such law max
| ing, I refer 10 the Morris Dog Law.
| OF course this law WAS passed 10 pro-
,ect the sheep industry. We nave no
moro respect for the sheep killing dogs
than Mr., Norris has, but why not get
after the dog that kills sheep? our
! friend. Mr.. Morris and all the Represen-
! tatiyes that voted for that bill could
not tell a Beagle Hound from Mongrei
| dog. I doubt if some Of them could tel
a beagle from tom cot. lhch. no"
were they capable OF doing justice 10
! mans best friend"
| Don't you know. And they should OIL
course know that beagl" was never
known to kill IL sheep. they are
| friend TO the boy and they are coming
10 the front as ono OF the greatest dosH
living. Give your boy a pair of beagles
and YOU do not need worry about him
gong to the dance halls. pool rooms
gambling dcns and houses Of i'll rcpute.
! He will take his bnaElcsl and go afieid.
| moi 10 kill. hut to hear the little fellows
| crv their hearts out after cotton tail.
| The boy will live more in the open ana
be a student OF nature. y good boy.
If our doctors would insist upon the
weakline taking UP heaglinG it would
save many Il patient
| TIL, valuable is always kcnnellcd or
| with his master. We have invested chn-
! siderable money in registered heaglcs.
! We have huilt UP n good trade after
seven years of labor and studying blood
lines. Now VIC will be forced 10 sacri-
| flee all our patrons. This is not
! square deal.
| Our Beagles have converted many
game hogs 10 live sportsinen. The bird
/ dog Is always taken care Of and never
does any harm. Most OF our friends get
| much pleasure with the Fox hound. INC
| Collie Is most useful dog for tho
| farmer but so many Of our farmers arc
like. some Of our Law makers; they do
! not know the value OF n thorough bred
collie. They will not pay the price to
get one, yet they will get pup from
! a ncghbor for nothing. 1t has the
proper breeding for 4 sheep killing dog
Part Shepard. Just enough TO contain
| tho wild nature Of wolf. Naturally
| they love to roam at night. Two or
1 thron Of them get together and or
course, kill sheep. But Shep is always
! on tho front porch in tho morning. These
arc the dogs that Mr.. Morris should de-
I stroy.
! Again. our foreigners keep all kinds OF
! dogs. They arr LEFT to breed at Will. a
| ,rinins town becomes full or them. me
! assessor does not get one out OF ten.
| These are tho dogs YOU should destroy.
Do not destroy the pleasure OF the
law abiding citizen. We believe in De-
mocrary. Dur boys have fought for it,.
| What do you think they will say when
| they com" hack 10 find that they have
! been denied the privilege Of keeping
/ bur on" dog: II this be female pay
! $1,000 Is keep it. The out OF door life
+ with gun and dog has helped Ia lick III"
! Hun. Do you suppns" tho iron hand YOU
, have laid on the dog lover will max" pa
! triottr citizens at heart? II will cause
, them 10 lose confidence in our law
makers aird will be- Il feather in the cap
! of the BoIshcvifi.
Mr. Governor We ask you 10 vrtn thia
bill or send il bu elk to be amended thus
permitting tn" breeding Of thorough
. bred dogs. males soc, females 800 lie
! rnsc All dogs should be tagged. Give
! the dog killer fifty cents Il head for kill
; ing he undrSira hles. One dog killer in
: Pennsylvania made enough clear in
! sixty days /" buy Tin Lizzy. Also do
| not + ,rgr;. Mr. t;overuur. that tn. faith
/ ful. thorough bred dua; saved many lives
, in the war and helped 10 win fur tho
Allies.
