Useless Dogs

The Thibodaux Commercial Jour-
nal believes that all useless dogs
should be destroyed. 1t recommends
that tho law that calls for a license
for all dogs be strictly enforced In
this way the Journal thinks that such
dogs as are useless would be put out
of the way. Continuing on the SUBJ
ject, it adds:
"Too many people have more dogs
than they need, and the consequence
is the dogs get less food than they
are really entitled to-, some ones
chickens or eggs are devasted and
other injury to property and fire.
quently to person are the consequent
ces 1t is better to nave one we'll
fed dog than half dozen starving
or i'll fed CANNES; it is better to Ii.
cense dogs than to have a serenade
of nocturnal bankers; it is better to
have fewer dogs given attention than
to have useless ours neglected and
roaming the streets. We are sure
when the people consider the reas-
ons for the enactment Of this legis-
lation they will of necessity readily
endorse its every provision. The one
possible bad feature however is that
the state gets all the money while
the parishes are put to the expense
of supplying bonds and maintaining

Think small and you'll fall behind
Think that you can, and you will;

SALVATION ARMY OVER DRIVE
MARK.

with plenty to spare the Salvation
Army drive for $l3,OO0,00 for home
service. work went over the top ac-
cordlng to final returns received ut
the national headquarters mt ESQ
Fifth Avenue. Brigadicr General Cor
nchus Vanderbilt said the local
figures stood ut $l,350,000. He was
confident, however, tat when the
collections are tota.led, tie New York
City district will be found well be-
yond its quota of 81 100000.
In Il statement of Tanks for the
response, Commander Evangcline
Booth said:
"The campaign. ended so success
fully, was imp 'cccnlcnted in MANY
respects. 1t has resulted in raising
the largest amount of money ever
collected in this country for home
relief work. 1t is the only all-cash
project of its kind ever successfully
consummated. Above all, il is the
only money-raiaing car,paign on re-
cord i'll America wherein the organi-
zation making TIE appeal, adopted
the attitude or a:king and receiving

system Of drilling through suh-com-
rnittces with insistcnt dcMa DIS.

tary one, and for that reason Il means
much more to us than if the more

pctence, and we want to help That
means more to us by far t.ian if one
Generous person had written a check
for the whole $13.000OO0. 1t is an

cause it portends so mucl for the

ffcarics. | have no words with which

SIN like manner do rot know how
can ever sufficiently thank the men
Hnd women who are not members of
the Salvation Army, but who, weari-
ed as they were from previous drives,
unselfishly and with determinations
laid aside their personal duties and
cares. and plunged into this fight
for the dowr-and- returning Il
victory that stands unmatched in the
annals of our American history"

81 give this money becau:c / want
to give it, and because believe in
the great work the Salvation Ar
my has done and will do and wish |
could do more" is what y contributor
said as he passed in his contribution
to this fund. And he voiced the SEN
timent and feeling of all, or nearly
all, of those who have taken pleasure
in putting TaZewell's collection over
the top. When the writer consented
to undertake the management of the
collection in this county every body
said: you've got the easiest job Of
all the drives. Everybody will be
glad to give" And so it has turned
out. So far as reports have shown
only now and then has any one re-
fused when applied to. Old and young,
rich and poor have contributed, rang
ing in amounts from Il dime to forty
five dollars. No large sums have
been given, because not asked for.
The county's quota, only $4,000, was
small. No pressure was brought to
bear other than what was said thru
the columns of this paper and through
personal letters written by the chair
man. People gave because they want
ed to give, or did not give because
they did not want to. In this, the
Salvation Army "drivc" was differ
ent from the many others we've put
through. 1t was no "drive" at ALL

Loan, and even the church drives"
were by more or less compulsion and
no little pressure and Il great deal of
organization and hard work. And ev-

sort of pressure except the merits of
the cause
There was no government bond OF
UNCONVENTIONAL appeal behind it-a

In this aspect, it is not far wrong to
say, that the giver was more best
in the giving than the receiver will
be in the receiving. The people of
the United States, who have given
more than thirteen millions asked for

useful in the future by having carried

he could to bring the war to a quick
