CATS CAUSING ROW ON HILL No t Included as Private Property in Many States ney General Hor- VS.W ace av ' B has written an opin question of John Perlntendent of 1 \ Jfvtlnntfwnf the Western IJIIM- Pennsylvania Hu eygjeaMfcsisie m ane Society, of . Bl—H Pittsburgh, as to ranirSL. whether a cat is property, to the effect that diligent search has shown but one state in which a cat is considered "a thing of value." Mr. Davis says: "While It Is not the practice of this department to give opinions to others than officials of the state government, the fact that this question has doubtless arisen in the minds of many law abiding citizens of the common wealth and for fear that it might become the subject of state-wide dis cussion, is deemed sufficient reason for departing from tho rule." He also says that the novelty of the In quiry has impelled state officials to make an exhaustive search. Various states, he says, have listed bees when not in a wild state, deer and dogs as Next Wednesday Is the Glorious Fourth This greatest of all our Patriotic Holidays will have double significance this year— H Everyone will want to look his best—every real red blooded American will show his patriotic spirit.

He nlso says that the fact that cat gut, a commercial article, Is generally be lieved to come from a cat might be considered as giving property value, but such is not the case because the bulk of that commodity is taken from sheep. "In the doctrine of property ra tlonae soli, as applied to wild ani mals, where such animal voluntarily goes upon real property," says he, "Its ownership becomes vested in the owner of such real property. Were this doctrine to be applied to cats, it, is course, obvious that the owner ship of a backyard fence would carry with It a qualified or commun ity property, or, as it were, a shift ing title in tbe cats of that neigh borhood." Some cats, says the deputy, notably Angoras, are givan values and are objects of sale. He concludes: "The law lends Itself to the affairs of people as the whims of society create new conditions and values, and we do not' say that ulti mately the courts may not, even In the face-of an outraged public, cata log a cat as property."

Why the Country Needs Food-Control The wolf is at the door of the world, so Mri Hoover reminds us, and he would meet it with the Food-Control Bill tliat aims to reduce the cost of living in the United States and to bring victory nearer by feeding her Allies. * < "In the last five months," says Mr. Hoover, "$250,000,000.00 has been extracted from the Am erican consumer in excess of normal profits of manufacturers and distributers." As evidence that the unprecedentedly high prices of food are largely due to "rampant speculation," he points out that "the average prices to the consumer in countries where food administration is now in effect, are lower than those prevailing in the United States, although those countries are mainly dependent upon us for their supply." In THE LITERARY DIGEST for June 30th, this most important subject to the American public is presented in all its ramifications. THE DIGEST telegraphed to newspaper editors in every section of the country asking for an expression of the local sentiment as to the Food-Control Bill, and the results of this investigation are shown. There is no other subject that more directly concerns the people of Canada and the United States to-day.
