Field Meet for Dogs
Dog Fanciers Meet at Local
Farm
LEGAL Sportsmen Interested

The farm of Thomas Claringbold
on the outskirts of Newark is the
center of attraction for dog fanciers
of the eastern United States this
week, while the annual field trials OF
the Eastern Beagle Club are being
held. The trials have drawn breeders
from the north, west and south here
to display animals with histories and
family names in the six classes in
which the competition is held.
Some of the principal fanciers who
have entries at the trials are: j. B.
Snyder, of Philadelphia; DR.. Kraker,
of Philadelphia; w. B. Hawthorne,
Pennsylvania; Joseph Il. Baldwin, OF
West Chester; M. Haley, "Bud"
Fisher, Ross Robinson, Charles Hart
man, Fred AMartin, and Prince
Mousley, of Wilmington; j. E. Met
finger, of Greensburg, Pa, and Mr..
Jackson, of Baltimore. DR.. Mettinger
and Messrs. Haley, Fisher and Cam
constitute the judges for the trials.
Six classes will be judged at the
show, ranging from Is inch high dogs,
both male and female, of all ages, to
"derbies," dogs under two years of
age, both male and female. The mid
die class includes 13 inch high
beagles, male and female. Larger en-
try lists are made up for these trials
than ever before in the history of the
club, thirty dogs being entered in the
largest classes. On Monday, twenty
doys competed.
| In commenting ON the trials, DIR
Mettinger emphasized the qualltlca
tions which the animals must display
in order to be considered for thu
awards. ''The dog must have th'
competitive spirit" he specified
"When his bracemate strikes tn
trail of rabbit, the dog must COM
to his partners assistance, honor hi
bark, and show the desire to beat hin
to his game, as all true hunters viii
do. He must be under the control o
his manager at all times, get on
trail and then show that he is 'tral

this respect, the dog is like the wood
pecker. He must use his head for
: living. And then, he must get hi
rabbit" he stated, recalling that tn
bunny returns to his starting point a
the murderer to the scene of hi
crime.
e Sending conditions were not c
d the best on the opening day of tn
$ trials. A high wind and the roug
cover made it difficult for the animal
: to show just what they were capabl
Y of doing, according to the older con
petitors who have attended the tria

with us are to be cast into outer dark

anarchy, anarchy prevailed temporar-
lily In Omaha.
There have been many other cases
Of temporary mob rule in the United
States. and everywhere anarchy ruled
while the mob held the upper hand.
There can be no order without law,

the law should assert itself through
its duly accredited agents at the mo-

It was done without firing shot. The
great masses of citizens of an Amer

LARGE TOLL TAKEN


-
Very few men. even those interested
in agricultural pursuits. realize the nc
tual loss caused by plant diseases to
the farmers of this country. Short
crops follow one another so frequently
that the average farmer considers them
as normal If a crop is failure or
shorter than usual, he more than likely
lays 1t to the weather or. some otl.er
unavoidable circumstances. He very
seldom realizes that every crop has one
to several diseases which very fire.

crop failures are due to the attack of
plant diseases or insect pests. says
&C. w. Edgerton. of the State Univer-
sity Experiment Station. Very eften
the presence or absence Of a disease
is the deciding factor between failure
or success with a crop. As I'M example.
