TRAINING OF BIRD
DOGS PERMISSIBLE

The last legislature amended
the law relating to the training

engrossing the amendment. Con-
sequently the bill as signed by

passed ,by the legislature and is
declared by the Attorney General
to be invalid. This leaves the
law of 1919 in effect as contained
in Sec. Sc. Chap. 400. G. L. 1919,
which permits the training of

For the first time since the

of the Lutheran church are meet
ing in convention. About 200
delegates are gathering in the
town of Eisenach. Germany. on
August 10Th. to deliberate on
religious and ecclesiastical af-

the Church of Rome can bear any
comparison to this assemblage
either in extent of representa-

Nearly 9O,0OO,OO0 people. or
about one-fifth of all the Chris

The story goes that many years

protected with the sock. Since
that he has refused to wear any
thing else on his feet but boots

The following from the Russell
Anchor concerning his latest
accident and former mishaps will
be of interest:
Tom Bigham of Tyler, former
ly residing near here, had two
ribs broken last week while
engaged in the business of house
moving. During his rs years of
life Mr.. Bigham has had more
accidents happen to him than any
dozen people have in a life time.
At one time he had a school
building fall on him while work
ing under it. breaking several
ribs. one arm and a leg, and
at another time the stake on a
guy rope gave way and broke
every rib on one side of his body.
Later a derrick fell on him
breaking an arm and a leg. and
still later a punching machine in
some manner struck him laying
his entire scalp open. besides
breaking a few ribs. Tom has
got so used TO it that he doesn't
seem to mind it much, as he was
