on account Of the animals hOofs feared
we might not be able so effectively to ap-
ply the current. To meet this situation
| applied wet cloth to the goats feet
which added to the effectiveness of the
current, and the result was satisfactory"
As result Of its humane treatment Of
the animals which come under is care.
the Rescue League has placed the humble
and once despiscd office of dog catcher
IN moro favorable public light. The en-
forcemcnt Of the ordinance prohibiting
dogs from running at large, whether IL
censed or unlicensed, has been placed
largely in the hands Of the league and its
workers.
"Thc mere fact that license is issued
permits the owner only TO own dog and
doc not give the animal the right TO run
at large Jay the leagues Officers. "Tbe
catcher has no means Of ascCrtaining the
owner of a dog. Only when the animal
arrives at our rescue home is his license
tag examined, whcreupon the owner is
notified to call to reclaim the animal. In
the meantime, whether the animal is pedi-
greed or only a mongrel, it is accorded
kindly treatment.
Seen in this light, and it is really the
true one, the dog catcher, when trained in
ways Of discrimination and kindness as
the league demands, may be counted
among the good friends of our friend, The
dog"

From sunrise to sundown she toilcd.
How her figure survived the hard. manual

hoes and heavy walking over the fields,
is among the unwritten mysteries
So her life proceeded evenly and monot-
