CAT CALLS COPS.

Chester, Pa.-The cries of a pet
cat into the mouthpiece of tele-
phone at a home on West Third
street brought out big detachment
Of police and plain clothes men
bent on frustrating burglary and,
possibly saving a life.
A telephone operator at the CEN
tral exchange called the police de-
partment and informed the desk
sergeant that cries Of distress were
coming from the telephone at the
Third-street house. A patrol wagon
full Of policemen was hurried to the
scene and surrounded the house.
Repeated knocks at the door brought
no answer and the officers forced AN
entrance. They found a cat with
one of its feet caught in an ice chest.
In its struggle to get free it had
knocked the receiver from the tele-
phone. which was lying on the floor
and was crying directly into the
mouthpiece.
The family was away from home.

THE SHERIFF'S SALARY
BILL.

EDITOR PRESS:
There seems to be some criti-
cism Of the bill to regulate the Sher-
ifs salary. The bill now pending
before the Legislature, and of which
bill am the author, provides in
substance, That the sheriff be paid
$1,000 in addition 10 his fees and
commissions now prescribed and al
lowed by existing law. 1t further
provides an extra tax OF 80 cents
to be levied upon all suits instituted
to be paid by the losing party. The
extra tax to be used to help to.
wards the payment of the Sheriff's
salary.
The measure is a progressive one
and deserves the support Of all good
citizens OF the county, dare say,
it has and will have the support of
all such citizens of the county.
We all realize the importance of
the Office Of the sheriff. Upon him
rests the peace and safety of us all. |
Upon the sheriff rests the enforce.
ment Of all our laws: I have obser-
we'd the sheriff-not the present one
openly and knowingly refusing to
do his duty. / could not conscieDt-
Ously reprove him for his action,
because ! knew that ne was not be-
ing paid for his work.
I had in mind the drafting of
his bill and presenting to the pre-
'ent legislature, no matter who had
oeen elected sheriff in the county. H.
vas first to mention the matter to
he sheriff he did not mention it to
ne. l am responsible for this bill,
md / am going to be responsible

legislature. Most all counties in the
tate have placed their Sheriffs up.

CRACKED HEELS (HORSES)
SCRATCHES OR CHAPS ON
KNEES AND HOOK.
This usually sets in with swelling
heat. and tenderness of the hollow
OF the heel. The hair will stand stiff
and straight, and in white skinned
animals the skin will turn red and
fever will he evident. In irritable
horses this usually occasions ex-
treme stiffness and lameness. Slight
cracks soon appear transversely and
may gain depth and width. More
frequently, however, they become
covered at the edges or throughout
by a crust or scab resulting from
the drying of the liquids thrown
out, the skin becomes increasingly
thick and rigid. A similar condi-
tion occurs behind the knees and in
front of the hooks and may extend
from this point to the hoof, virtu-
ally increasing that side of the limb
in a Dermanent crust or sheath.
CAUSES
The causes are usually over feed.
ing on grain, decayed or rotten fod-
der, close, hot, dirty stables where
the floor is covered with manure
and secretions in which the animals
mast stand or lay; working in deep
irritant mud, especially in lime
stone districts. will frequently pro-
duce this condition. Irritation by
limestone or sandy dust in dry
weather on dry roads. Also cold
draft, snow and freezing mud. wash
ing the legs with caustic soap, wrap
ping the leg with thick woolen
bandages which soak the skin rend-
or it sensitive, are the most frequent
local causes.
Constitutional Conditions that
are also responsible for this disorder
are weak heart and circurlation,
either natural or as a result of over.
work, imperfect nourishment, inn
pure air, lack of sunshine, debilita-
Ting diseases, functional or struc-
,ural diseases of the heart. liver or
zidneys may induce q cracking.
Rapid PAGES and the drawing of
1eavy loads are frequently active
;auses of cracked heels, scratches or
;haps.

In the Prussian parliament that pu-
pills had been whipped by the whole
sale for declining to say the Lords
Prayer in German. But the OppOsi-

when about 100000 Polish pupils took

Posen is smaller, territorially, than
Maryland, but had half million more
population in 1910. About q million,
Poles-more than half the total popu-

of its breweries and distilleries, were

PosEN, THE EXPERIMENT
& STATION FOR ssKULTUR"

The province Of Posen, formerly
part Of Germanys eastern Prussia.
and one, Of the most important frag-
ments Of old Poland. which has been
incorporated In the new war-born Po-
land, was the unhappy experiment
station for some of Prussia's most Wig
orous and futile efforts to Germanize
an alien population. o.
Until the northern portion Of Posen
fell to Prussia, after the first par
titicn Of Poland In 1772, and the re-
mainder was annexed to Prussia 81
years later, Posen's history was blend
ed with that Of Poland. In connection
with. the first partition, 1t will be re-
called that Frederick the Great adopt

that he was seeking to check the

After being banded for brief pc
Rod, Posen fell to Prussia again in
s1815. and for more than half CEN
tury Germany oRid little heed to it.
After the division Of the vast estates
and other economic changes, Polish

CHERSO: MAY BE THE
HELGOLAND OF

HELGOLAND5O OF
ADRIATIC
The Rapallo agreement Of last No
vember which fixed the status Of the
troublesome city Of Fiume and dis
posed Of other moot points In regard
to territory on the eastern shore Of
the Adriatic sea, gave, Italy an Inn
portant foothold near Fiume in the OBJ
scure, island Of Cherso.
Practically unheardi of on this side
OF the Atlantic, Guiding most travel
ers. even escaping many OF the seek
ers after the little-kn0wn places Of
Europe, Cherso5 neither is inaccessi-
BILE nor unattractive. ALL.

Gulf Of Quarnero, low hung from the
neck Of Fiume. It Is the Long Island
Of that port, Its shore line rising u
miles to the south. Its slender form
extends to the southwest for 40 miles,
though it never exceeds seven miles in
width, and its area is somewhat more
than twice that Of the District Of
Columbia. 5. Arc 4 I'LL.
Holding In mind this. location, near
the head Of the Adriatic, In view Of
the plans to make Fiume q buffer
state between Italy and Jugo-Slavia,
the strategic possibilities Of Cherso
become apparent. 1nded one may pic
ture 1t as a potential Helgoland Of
the Adriatic.
A natural curiosity Of the island is
Lake Vrana, or Crows Lake, with a
surface 40 feet, above the sea level,
fed and drained. by invisible streams.
The island Is rugged, with one noun
tain peak rising more than 1000 feet
above the QuArnero waters. Gibral-
tar-like rocks rise precipitously
1000 feet along one of its shores.
Here are the dome-like. caverns Of
Smergo,. now protected from the sea
by a wave-built rock barrier.
The devastating Bora, which sweeps
the Dalmatian coast, drips its salt
spray. over Cherso, excluding many va.
rieties Of plant life. The absence Of
large trees and scarcity Of springs
are two physical characteristics. In
the north laurel and mastic grow, and
vines and olive trees abound in the
southern portion.
Politically Cherso was included In
