In Remembrance.
In loving remembrance of my dear
son, John Willlam Smith, who departed
this life April 14, 1918:
One year ago our hearts with sorrow,
Laid a peaceful soul to rest
Onward to the side of Jesus,
With thy hands across thy breast,
Oh, son, dear, how we miss you,
And never shall your memory fade ;
Sweet thought shall ever linger
Round the grave where thou art laid.

if the objects of this law are to be at-
tained it is necessary to get at the source
of the trouble, Where dogs are kept for
their many acts of devotion and faith
fulness no owner will object to comply-
ing with the law, but where dogs are al-
lowed about the premises without prop-
er care and restraint, such dogs become
a menace to the community and the law
requires their extermination. Persons
harboring such dogs will be held respon-
sible for the same,
A number of prosecutions of dog own-
ers for violation of this law have been
ordered. All reported violations will be
investigated and prosecutions ordered
where it is considered that the evidence
will warrant a conviction before court
and jury, as the law does not provide
for the imposing of penalty by Alder-
