"The moving season is at hand.'
Through the very foolish and super-!

of bad luck due to moving the cat, j
the faithful house cat, or her kittens,
may be deserted. Under such condi-'
lions she starves and is forced to be-!

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
are the birds of the garden and
| orchard in the vicinity that was home
to her, and this means that they are
the beneficial birds, which feed
chiefly upon the insects most destruc
tive to fruits and truck crops.
"We have already seen this year
several examples of persons moving
and leaving their cats behind. In some
cases other tenants were not to fol
! low soon, and the cats have nearly
died of starvation. In other cases
where the new tenants are to come
soon to the premises, the cats are un
familiar with these newcomers, and
1 if they act shy, it is too often taken
for granted that they are too wild,
too tinjid or too ferocious to be de
j sirable in the new home, and hence
I they are stoned, dogged and perse
j cuted. The fate of the cat at moving
s time is very serious. There is no rea
| son whatever why the faithful house
1 cat should not be either taken al<Aig
J when moving, the same as the dog,
|or be mercifully killed, rather than
'permitted to starve and run wild. If
'the fundamental principles of decency
| and humanity do not prompt persons
i to give proper heed to their cats when
moving, this indeed becomes a fit <sub
! .iect for the attention of that worthy
organization known as the society for
| Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
1 There should be a branch of this so
i ciety in each county of the State.
' Those persons who have no conscience
I should at least be made to observe
-1 the law concerning cruelty or the in
fliction of pain upon the lowly crea
•l tures. In most localities in this State
: officers of this society are available,
s! and can be learned by making inquiry
- of local policemen.
'' "Aside from the feature of humane
' treatment of the cat, this subject has
3: a very important economical bearing
- ] upon the preservation of our birds.
1 i As the birds roost in trees and the cats
1 i are climbers, they can readily become
. i the chief enemies of our feathered
- friends at this time of year. One cat
2 has been known to destroy eighty
- birds within a year. This means the
r j removal of the natural control of
■ 1 more insect pests than would be re
' | quired to destroy practically all the
; farm crops and fruits of any farmer
. or fruit grower in the State. Let the
' cats be preserved and fed, the birds
f saved, the insects destroyed and bet
ter and cheaper crops produced."

i | HE BELIEVES IX ADVERTISING
:l
, I What faith in advertising, put to the
_ | test and perslsteptly followed, will ac
complish is strikingly exemplified in
, the. case of Gen. J. S. Carr, of Dur-'
1 ham, X. C. In twenty-five years Gen.
i Carr has built up a fortune of $4,000,-
| 000 from an initial investment of $12,-
1000 —and built it up by advertising.
I Gen. Carr invested his capital in the
manufacture of a particular brand of
tobacco and depended on newspaper
advertising and his trade mark to
build up his business. How he views
the value of newspaper advertising is
told by himself in these words:
"When I signed my first advertising
contract for $250,000 I didn't sleep
for a week. I thought I was ruined.
But the results justified the expendi
ture and soon I was spending $500,000
a year for advertising. The biggest
part of it went to the newspapers, for
I had learned that the newspaper ad
is the best in the world. There is no
line of business that it does not help.
"I was in the banking business and
I built up as much trade as my two
nearest competitors combined by
newspaper advertising. My four boys
are the biggest hosiery manufacturers
in the country, and they have relied
on newspaper advertising to make
their success. The lirst thing, of i
course, is to have the goods, but
after that you must make your goods
| known."

Figures Compiled by the State,
Department Officials Show
Extent of Ravages
I Details of the official figures collect
ed by tlie Bureau of Statistics of the
j Department of Agriculture show that
' |i' lere are assessed in the boroughs and
r townships of the State 263,511 dogs.
■ | This total does not include the dogs in
• j Lebanon, Lehigh, Philadelphia and
• | Susquehanna counties. In Lehigh and,
ij Lebanon counties the commissioners
the dog assessment and tax
■ act and Susquehanna county is work
ing under a special act whereby each!
| township and borough collects its own
j dog tax and pays the damages. No
report was made from Philadelphia
11 county.
. As it is impossible for the assessors
to make return on all the dogs in the I
boroughs and townships, it is estimat
ed that twenty-live per cent, of the I
dogs are missed and that the total
| figures of dogs in the State that are
| liable for assessment in boroughs and
'townships will reach close to the
. 400,000 mark. Officials of the De-!
■ partment of Agriculture estimate that I
• | with the dogs in the cities which are j
11 assessed and licensed under special:
ijacts. there are over 1,000,000 dogs in
i | Pennsylvania.
The total amount of dog tax collect-!
. ed in the boroughs and townships dur- i
, ling 1915 was $135,278.70. Figures [

I show that the taxes are highest in J
Greene, Mercer and Washington coun- j
ties where a large number of sheep are
f yearly killed and injured. In the
former two counties the tax is $2.00 j
for each male dog and $4.00 for fe
| male dogs while in Washington coun
ty the tax in $1.50 for males and $3.00
for females. The general average in
(sheep raising counties is SI.OO and
$2.00, although some counties have a|
.rate as low as 15 and 25 cents. In a
number of counties of counties the dog
tax collected did not pay for the dam-j
ages allowed for the killing and in-1
jury to sheep and the dog license |
plates.
There were 3,330 unlicensed dogs
killed by the direction of the county i
officials with Westmoreland officials
especially active in carrying out the j
provisions of the recent act of tho leg- 1
isture by having 1,052 dogs killed. In '<
addition to the damages paid for the;
sheep killing it cost the counties $4,-
<502.41 for payment in cases where
horses or other animals were bitten
| by mad dogs.
Some of the amount of taxes col-j
lected by the various counties were: '
Washington, $7,058.00; Westmoreland,
! $6,807.35; Mercer, $6,081.58; Erie,!
i $5,362.85; Allegheny, $5,258.10. The)
J high amounts paid for the killing and i
injury to sheep were Washington, SB,-
