These agencies have all been sup
piled with the licenses and the new
tags for 1926.
The records of the State Board
show that although this law has
been in operation but a short time it
has accomplished much good. Nearly
two thousand worthless dogs have
been destroyed, and the roaming at
large of dogs has been materially
curtailed. Property owners have
been reimbursed to the extent of
almost one thousand dollars for
damage done to poultry and live
stock by dogs in the two lower coun-
ties, and the state has been restock-
ed with more than twenty-six hun
dred rabbits imported from Kansas.
The State Board earnestly desires
the cooperation of all citizens in
making the dog law effective. This
can best be done by each citizen
promptly securing the license for his
own dog and observing the law
which prohibits dogs from running
at large from March first to October
first of each year.
There seems to be an impression
abroad that some one will call on
the dog owners to sell the license.
This is an error. The obligation is
on the dog owner to procure the Ii
cense from one of the authorized
agencies.
The wardens and other officers of
the state will begin on March the
first to seize all unlicensed dogs
found running at large.
The law protects your dog by
it personal property if you
will protect your dog by securing
the state dog license.

NATIONAL GRANGE PLANS
FOR AGRICULTURAL DAY
continued from first page)

NCOuLluu6u IIOm uISL Qd6Sy
ials on the farming industry and
cartoons rejecting the Importance
of agriculture be published in the
newspapers and magazines; and
that all other available means be
used to center the thought of the
nation on the farmer as the bull
wark of national well-being.
In making this recommendation,
Chairman Eckert called attention to
the fact that the prosperity of the
nation depends largely upon sue
cesfsul agriculture and that the lat
ter industry embraces an agricul-
tural group of men and women who
operate six and one-half million
farms in the United States; COM
prise practically One-third of the en-
tire population; produce from IL
to IA billion dollars worth of new
wealth every year; have an invest
ment greater than all the railroads
and all the manufacturing plants in
the United States is to continue to
maintain a balanced prosperity and
a high standard of morals, agricul-
ture must be encouraged and our
citizens must keep a proper remem-
brance of the farming industry,
hence the recommendation OF an
annual Agricultural Day to proper
ly refresh the memory Of our ur-
ban citizens"
It is probale that the date of such
an Agricultural Day will be sought
in the month of October each year
and the executive committee Of the
National Grange will take imme-
diate steps to set in motion this rec
ommendation passed at Sacramento,
especially bringing it to the atten-
ton of the conference of various
agricultural organizations, which
the session voted the Grange shall
take the initiative in calling at an
early date.
