one of the finest that has been seen on court in Danielson in years.
 Dog Warden Harry Lathrop of the town of Brooklyn said Thursday afternoon that he will arrest every man who owns a dog and allows the animal to go about without having proper tag attached to its collar.
 This action is to be taken following the slaughter of sheep that has taken place at the farm of Oliver A. Downs. Mir. Lathrop spent the greater part of Thurs day watching out for the return of the dog that has been killing sheep of the Downs flock. but the animal did not put in an appearance.
 Sheep killed by the dog evidently have been seized on one-a-day schedule. for have been found scattered about the large tarn1, usually at points where walls con- verge, showing they had been chased un- Ill cornered- In some cases the indica- tions are that the sheep have been dead for more than a week Some of the car eases were found practically stripped of all flesh. while others showed that the dog had seized them by the throat and sucked their blood and then abandoned them.
 State Officer Howard A. Elliott. special deputy of the bureau of domestic anirnals
 is expected here to investigate certain features of The case that have developed and 1t is believed 1lat it will be possible
 to fix the responsibility for the killing.

| lieve If you will use this organiza-
ton to market. your farm products
and to buy your necessities that you
will soon do million dollar business
Two percent on this would leave you
twenty thousand dollars and this
would be sufficient to take care of an
ample office building and force of
helpers and pletny to employ spe-
cialists for your dairy work, club
work, terracing and other lines of ac-

forget that soil building is your great
est need. After all is said we must
admit that the whole prosperity of
this country is measured directly by
the fertility of its soil. Yes fully
believe that if the farmers of this
County will stay by their Bureau,
think with it and work through it, it
will help you to build better roads,
school houses and churches and multi.
ply your wealth many fold. 4 am
truly sorry that some of our business
men look with disapproval upon our

born with good will and malice toward

tasty in this course, trying to help
and not to hurt and always striving
for the advancement OF agriculture
believe that it will not be many months
until the bushes men of Oxford Will
find that the farmers of Lafayette

for comforts then as they are for
necessities now. Their business will
be helped instead of hurt and like
manly men will say to you that they
