: Henry Ford thinks we ought to pay

Approved, perhaps, by the federal
judges But as we of the laity see it,
many more temptations beset man
with $4,000 than one who has, only

A resident near the Lower Mar
rows of the Baraboo river has had
depressing experience with racoon.
The animal was purchased for the sum
of ten dollars from a Nimrod and
was to be used in training the pur-
chaser's dog.
When a dog is taken into the woods
for a nocturnal hunt without special
training he is liable to follow Miss
Bunny, Brer Fox, or any animal that
happens to cross his path. The best
way is to obtain tame coon and give
the dog a few lessons. The first lesson
given by the Lower Narrows citizen
was a whoop-la. The coon was led
along by a chain and then permitted
to ascend a friendly tree. The dog was
then given his liberty and was soon
yo-o-o-oowling up the tree. The own
err of the dog then pulled the coon
down by the chain and just to let the
dog know the coon had biting quail
ties he permitted the animals TO get
near each other. Sure enough the dog
felt the keen teeth Of carnivore. A few
nights later the coon was again led
forth and made to pursue devious
path to reach a suitable tree. The dog
then had his lesson. When the coon
was pulled from his arboreal height
the dog assumed belligarent att1t-
tude. He had not forgotten his past
experience and before the owner
could catch his breath the dog was
upon the coon and bit the life out OF
him. When a neighbor now asks ABOUT
that coon all he get is Huh.
