VILLAGE ovERRUN BY DOGS
Housewives Of Silver Lake. New York.
Had to Guard Kitchens From the
Hungry Animals.

The hamlet Of Silver Lake. on the
outskirts of White Plains, N. r., is all
"het" up because Of the large number
of dogs that have migrated to that
section. according to the New York
Evening Sun. In the daytime they for
age through the town and at night
they make sleep impossible by their
bowling.
Silver Lake has population Of
about 500 persons. and It is said that
there are III dogs, one lap poodle and
half dozen hounds by actual count.
A staid old resident says that there
is every kind of dog imaginable In
Silver Lake--small ones, big ones
short ones, long ones, dogs with no
tail and one eye, lean ones and tat
ones. but mostly lean ones.
This great influx of dogs to Silver
Lake has created many nuisances. In
fact, the housewives don't dare leave
their kitchen doors unlocked or half
dozen hungry nuts will be roaming
around trying to find something to eat.
The story is told Of how one woman
baked raisin pie for supper for her
husband She left 1t on the kitchen
table to cool while she went about her
household duties. A little later she
heard great commotion, and when
she went to the kitchen she found half
9 dozen hungry CANNES, big and little,
fighting for the last raisin of her pie.
She struck them with broom, but
that did not do any good. because they
had her pie.

The Financial Outlook for the Farmer

The Financial Outlook for the Farmer.
What is the financial outlook
for the farmer or backyard
breeder who invests his hard
earned money in high-priced
chickens for breeding stock at
the present time?
August Z, 1919. figures given
out by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture show that
the total holdings Of eggs in cold
storage throughout the United
States was 3, $50, 876 cases. The
same day in 1920. 3,279, 435
cases, or a shortage over last year
of GIG. AL cases, which equaled
20. 293, $50 dozen.

gust Z. 1919. 10, 939. 28l pounds.
Same day, 1920. 5.119, $50
pounds. a shortage as compared
withlast year Of 4. 819. 1872 pounds.
If you happen to be a consum-

ten how you commented last year
on the scarcity of poultry and
poultry products. or if a breeder
how you longed for quantity of
these products to place on the

Colfax was enjoying its after

Natchitoches, La. Sept. 6, 1920.
Dear Mr.. Foster. II thank
you cordially for your letter.
Your position on cattle dipping
is entirely sane. The quarantine
should and must be changed to
make it easily possible for men
to ship as you suggest. have
not mentioned the subject in this
campaign. but | will work faith
fully to get the proper quaran-
tine regulations when / get back

Your friend,
j. B. ASWELL,
New Orleans, La. Sept. 8, 20.
To the Farmers and Voters of
Grant Parish:
Please note the above letter
from our Congressman j. B. As
well, which is in reply to my let
ter addressed to him outlining
plan as to changing Federal Reg
ulations, which is now based on
the theory that all cattle ticks
can easily be eradicated by dip
ping regularly a season or two.
and my contrary opinion as pub
lished sometime ago in your pa
per. that we shall never be able
to entirely exterminate and pre-
vent the Recurring of Texas few
er ticks. Therefore, the whole
present plan for creating a free
market for our cattle is wrong,
and has always worked to the di-
rect interest of the packers and
beef trust. | believe that no
fair minded man does object to
dipping occasionally through the
spring, summer and fall seasons,
and with change in the Nation
al Quarantine Regulations re-
curing the dipping of all cattle
once or twice immediately before
shipping would clean them of
hicks. and give the farmers of
our State the benefit of a free
market and increased prices for
heir cattle.
With Governor Parker firm for
enforcing the National Quaran-
inc Regulations, the only hope
IT relief must come through our
congressman an d senators. /
lope that the voters of Grant
ind the Eighth District will not
overlook this important matter
