A timely warning has been issued to
owners Of dogs by County Game War
den Metcalf of Windham county
against allowing dogs to run deer. The
heavy covering of snow will soon be
coated over with a crust under the
alternating influence of melting and
freezing This crust will generally
bear the weight of a dog but will not
be strong enough to carry a deer, so
that once a dog gets on the trail Of a
deer in deep snow there is little chance
for the deer to make its escape. I'm
less dog owners take warning and re-
strain their dogs, a large number OF
deer will be killed before spring. II
the owners of dogs have no humane
consideration for the deer there is one
remedy, the law, which permits the
killing of dogs chasing deer, besides a
penalty for the owner of the animal
for permitting his dog to chase deer
Most people, however, have little hui
name consideration for the deer who
would be forced to fight for life under
handicap at this season of the year.

COOLIDGE AND HOOVER.

Two very estimable young Americans

Twelue Cent Dress Causes
Sensation at Kentucky Fair
(Bv Associated Press


MURRAY, Ky, Nov. S.-A dress
that cost twelve cents won the thrift
prize at the Galloway school fair here
recently and probably set record for
this and a number of other states.
Miss Eunice. McLane, young and
pretty, looked very attractive in her
gown costing dime and two cents.
This is how she did it:
IN her search for available material
she found a piece of oilcloth that had
been used on the kitchen table for
seven years. She boiled it, making it
a thin, soft material, bought five cents
worth of dye. and colored it pink.
Then wishing 10 embroider it, she
had to pay seven cents for an embroid-
cry pattern.
She used ravellings of the material
to sew the dress up and the ravellinEs
of a silk stocking to embroider it
with.
Second prize at the school fair was
won by Lille Grogan with dress of
all new materials costing Sc cents.
