REFORMERS ON
TRIAL OF CATS;
LICENSES SEEN

Society Reports

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Is (U.PO
It's swell for the fish, but tough
ON the cats. For Kitty's night life
Isl about through. The reformers
are after her.
She's taken so much license that
now she may have to wear a license
to end her kind of wild life and
preserve another.
Which means that the State Fish .
and Game Commission is consider
ing a license tax on house cat.
Given a saucer of milk, ball OF
string or warm fireplace, the COM
mission grants that Kitty's oxen.
But when the moon rises and the
back fence promenade starts, she's
terror.
BY day, also, she gets in her ticks,
Out in the wide open spaces she
reverts to type and stalks birds and
fish. Found within the limits OF
fish and game preserve, the law
declares her a predatory animal,
and game wardens are authorized
to "put her on the spot.
This protection, the commission
insists, is not enough. The Inter
national Cat Investigating Society
proposes the death penalty for all
cats found without q licence.
There are 12O,O0O,00O cats in the
United States, the society revealed,
pointing out that John Burroughs
estimated American cats kill 6oOo,-
600 birds year. This If a loss to
farmers, it is held, because the de-
funct birds would have helped de-
strop insects which cause $8OO,Oo0,-
600 crop damage annually.
The proposed license would cost
so cents annually. At this rate, OBJ
iectors to the tax point out, pro-
life lady cat would mother away

Texas Pecan Trees
Yield Crop Of 81
Million Bushels

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 16. (U.PO-
Texas 100000 necan trees have
yielded crop of 32.o000oO bushels,
according to the Pecan Research
Laboratory.
Most of the pecan trees are ma
tive seedlings, which grow on the
lowlands along streams, Dr. G. l.,
Smith, director of the laboratory,
pointed out. Pecan orchards are
gaining in favor in Texas, however,
and in many instances native trees
are being "topworked" to improve
the variety.

CAREFULNESS URGED

A recent highway bulletin calls at
tention to the fact that even though
automobile headlights are set to COM
ply with the law which requires that
they reveal person or object 200 feet
ahead of the car, it is almost impos-
sible to make out the form of a person
wearing dark clothes which is COM
mon during the winter months. This
inability to see pedestrians has caused
many highway accidents, injuries and
deaths and excessive care is urged
both on the part of pedestrians and
motorists. Pedestrians are advised to
wait, before crossing the road, until
no car is near and should step from
the roadway when car is coming.
This does not seem like reciprocity 70
the pedestrians but reciprocity means
nothing when it comes to protecting
ones body from injury. On the other
hand the car driver should be careful
when approaching intersections, cross
streets and in passing other cars when
the lights are apt to make it impos-
sible to see the side of the road.

THE RELEASE OF GANDHI

Mahatma Gandhi, Indian National
list leader, who has been confined in
prison for the past eight months has
been given his freedom by British
authorities. After being spirited
away from the prison Gandhi astound-
ed his British warders by assuring
them he soon would be back. The
words which startled the officers
were, II expect to be back here with
in two months. 4 am not at all happy
at the thought of entering again the
whirlpool of life in the outside world,
with it's strife, suffering. sorrow and
sordidness. l cannot bear the thought
of enjoying my individual liberty
while tens of thousands of my brothers
and sisters remain in JAIL
Notwithstanding the incarceration
at the hands of the British because
of his civil disobedience, Mahatma
Gandhi holds no ill feeling against
the ruling powers and emerged from
the Jail with an absolutely open mind.
This requires character of the kind
that is a rare quality in the makeup
of man and explains partially the in
fluence that he enjoys over his people.

A DESECRATOR

Crime in itself is sinful and who
commits sinful deeds can only count
on his reward from the hands of
Satan in the hereafter but the man
that desecrates the church of ones
worship and belief to gain his ends is
baser than any who ever "plowed the
circles of He'll"
1t is reported that stenographer
while at prayer Monday noon at the
altar in the winter chapel of the
Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic
church on east Hennepin Ave., Mime
apolis, was struck over the head by a
man who took her purse and escaped
The woman had gone to the church
as was her usual custom and upon
entering she noticed a man of shabby
and unshaven appearance sitting near
the entrance. This is the man whom
she had believed had come there for
worship and who violated her conf
dence by robbing her. 1t is difficult
to believe that conscience so cal
oused could ever be placed in a hui
man.

PAINTING ON HIGHWAYS

In a communication to each of 48
state highway commissioners, Clar-
ence M. Young, assistant secretary of
commerce for aviation, suggested the
painting of letters 80 feet across
designating the map number of the
route and the state or federal symbol
painted in yellow. If this were done
he said aviators would be guided to
their destination.
The suggestion is a good one but
who is going to furnish the money
for such an undertaking? Is the avi-
alton companies or is the highway
commission? If the former is to
stand the expense then by all means
it should be done.
But right now when all efforts are
being bent toward the improvement
of the states vast web of highways
it would seem that such suggestions
are as the winds blowing through the
pines-just a nice purring sound.
Steady progress should be made but
before we can paint any signs ON
roads we have to get the roads.
While this suggestion was made
merely as a suggestion to the high
way departments, it brings to mind
the fact that many are devising ways
and means to spend money just for
convenience sake.

In June, 1896 he was nominated by
the Republican National convention to

was shot through the stomach while

many instances of American agricul-

WATCH YOUR STEP GROUNDING!

According to an old and popular
legend in many places the coming
of spring is governed by the activities
of the grounding on February 2. So
the saying goes, if Mr.. Grounding
comes from his hole next Monday
after his winters nap and sees his
shadow he will again take up his
quarters under ground for six weeks
more, thereby prolonging the advent
of spring. In keeping with this GUS
tom many superstitious eyes will be
turned skyward Monday to see if the
sun peeps through enough so that this
lowly animal will be frightened into
his hole for longer period or if it
will stay hidden so that he may
forage around unmolested by his
spooky shadow. In the latter event
an earlier spring will be predicted by
the fairy worshipers.
February 2 also has another mean
ing according to the encyclopedia and
this is as follows: "A church feast,
instituted in 492 in commemoration
of the presentation of Christ in the
temple and of the publication of Mary
On this day among Roman Catholics
lighted candles are carried about in
procession, and all candles and tapers
which are to be used in the churches
during the entire year are conse-
Grated"

WANTS TAX MEETINGS
. AskOy American:

Editor ASkov American:
Commissioner F.. w. Stepan's ar
ticle in your last issue seemed to me
to be very good. We certainly should
have a meeting before our town meet
ings in March, wages and salaries will
have to be cut, and it looks to me
that it is best to have kind of uni
form scale in the county or state for
that matter.
/ suggest that each commissioner
arrange for a meeting in his own dis
trict and a collection could be taken
up at the meeting for rent of hall.
What Stepan says about assessing
is right, only would take it a step
further in assessing land every 10
years, every other year when only per-
sonal property is assessed there is a
number of townships in the county
that don't bring much more money
in than what it takes to make and
equalize the assessment, so that seems
to be done just to keep some office
holders in salary. If personal property
must be regulated every year there
certainly is cheaper ways to have that
done than the way it is now.

GIVING GOOD SERVICE

Some folks are always worrying
about the business of other people,
and so it is in politics. Senator Nye
of North Dakota, has been doing some
good work in his investigation of huge
campaign expenditures and in clean
ing up political campaigns. He has
taken the people of the country be-
hind the scenes. We do not hear of
much complaint of his record from
his home state of North Dakota. Evil
IDENTIFY his constituents are pleased
with his services, or they would not
have returned him to the U. S. SEN
ate. Here is, however, a peep from
one of the Minnesota reactionary
newspapers, the Hokah Chief:
Senator Nye doesn't get out of one
investigation until he digs into an
other. His whole time is spent in
prying into the campaign expenses of
certain successful congressman. In
view of the fact that he is thus en-
ployed continually, why wouldn't ii
be a good idea to appoint him official
Investigator and let the North Dakota
people elect a senator who will attend
to the business he is supposed to do?'
