KENNEL AND FIELD
GEO. III. KERNODLE.

THE subject Of an anti-cropping
law comes up for lively dis
i cussion in the June Dog
Fancier, in an article by the local
bull terrier fancier, F. P. Leach. in
defense of the practice of cropping !;
an answer TO this article by K. {.
Craven, organizer of the American
Humane Association, and circulars
by the Dobermann Pinscher and the
Manchester Terrier clubs.
Leach's principal contention is that
the breeds affected by such a law will
be hurt in appearance and will suf
fer in popularity, and he gives as an
example the present status of the
Dobermann pinscher and the Man
chester terrier in England. where
such a law has been in operation for
80 years. Bull terriers, he says. are
just now regaining the popularity
which, they lost as a result of the law.
Craven contends that the law has not
been responsible for this loss of popu-
larity He cites the continued popu
larity of the Dane and the passing out
of the mastiff and Newfoundland,
two breeds which were not affected
by the law. and places the blame on
fashion rather than anti,cropping.
Despite the fact that the law has
been in force in England for so long
time, Leach says that the practice
of rounding the ears of the English
foxhound is still kept up. He ex-
plains that followers of the hounds
have been strong enough to prevent
action against the practice.
The circulars point out that the Is
sue is not met squarely, that the idea
of cruelty" and humiliation" Is
stressed. when the operation is done
with the use of anesthetic and under
as sanitary conditions as possible.
The advantages claimed are that the
dogs which are commonly cropped are
breeds of q pugnacious nature, and
that torn ears as a result Of brawls
are less likely where the ears are
cropped; that the animal is improved
in appearance, and that ear canker
is prevented by cropping.

OUTLOOK NOT COOL gOR
CANNING FACTORY zRUl

For several weeks a committee has
been busy in an effort TO secure
$4,000 with which to operate the
dormant Colorado Packing company
plant, but in a large measure has been
unsuccessful.
Some of the bondholders feel that
they have already invested more mon
ey than they can afford, while others
are confident that the factory could
be operated on a paying basis, enab-
ling the bondholders to more than
pay out on their investments.
The factory is here with a strictly
modern equipment and machinery Of
every kind and the county is prolific
with every kind of fruit and vegetable
known and it seems ridiculous under
these circumstances to allow a good

WATCH YOUR STEP AND
AVOID PAYING CITY FINE

A big change has come about dur
ing the past few weeks in violations
of traffic regulations which are not
different ir most respects from those
of other cities.
Heretofore, one never knew which
way to turn nor whom he would en-
counter there along the blocks but
since a few $500 fines have been
collected. drivers are more particu.
lar.
incidentally one may suggest that
pedestrian be more cautious, par
ticularly IN crossing the streets in
other points aside from crossings. A
driver has a right TO expect the street
to be clear from one crossing to an
other so far as pedestrians are CON
cerned, and In case of accident the
fault should not be placed upon the
drivers shoulders.

REQUEST FOR NEW TRIAL

Wildene L. Allentharp has filed a
motion in Lake County District Court
for a new trial, basing his claim
therefor upon the following allega-
tions:
That the verdict of the jury was
contrary to law.
That the verdict was contrary to
the facts.
That there was no legal evidence
to support said verdict.
That the verdict was a result OF
passion and prejudice and not a
calm, deliberate, uninfluencing act
of the jury.
Because Of the improper remarks
of the district attorney in the argu-
ments OF said case to the jury.
Because some of the jurymen ex-
pressed or suggested their conviction
of the guilt of the defendant.
That the court failed and neglected
to instruct the jury upon the crime
of voluntary manslaughter and failed
and neglected to furnish the jury with
a form of verdict of homicide.
Because of the various errors the
defendant has not had the fair and
impartial trial guaranteed him by the
Constitution of the State of Colorado.
