WILL ENFORCE ORDINANCE
AND SHOOT UNMUZZLED DOGS
Board of Trustees to Enforce Measure
To Letter That Provides For the
Shooting of Unmuzzled Dogs
And a Fine for Owners
Who Fail to Comply
With Ordinance
The regular monthly session of the
Hoard of Trustees was held Monday
• veiling, with President Murphy in
the chair and all members present ex-
cept Trustee Fisher.
After disposing of the minutes, re-
ports and monthly bills, the board
iook up the lighting bills for the past
two months. There was considerable
discussion and some figuring before
the amount of the cut was finally de-
cided upon, but at the end, the clerk
was authorized to draw a warrant for
two-thirds of the total.
The danger from hyprophobia, im-
pressed upon the board members by a
statement by Dr. Bowerman, who
met with the board by request, was
discussed, and the members were uu-
Miimous in favoring the vigorous en-
forcement of the ordinance provid-
ing for the muzzling of all dogs and
: id infliction of the penalty pro-
\ ided against owners who fail to
comply with the provisions of the or-
dinance, The members expressed the
hope that the board would have the
eeartv co-operation of all citizens in
the enforcement of the measure. The
marshal was instructed to enforce the
ordinance rigorously.
The matter of enforcing the penning
of chickens was discussed and the
president of the board announced that
lie would give till chicken owners due
notice through the columns of the
('lipper.
The board then adjourned.

NEXT DRAFT CALL TO
COME NEXT MONTH
Call is Said to Be Awaiting Only the
Amendment of the Selective
Draft Law
Washington, March (>.—Announce-
ment of the date of the next draft is
imminent. The provost marshal gen-
eral's office has prepared 44an impor-
tant announcement," which is believ-
ed to ileal with the time and method
of summoning the second levy. The
best opinion is that the first of the
men will move to cawp in April.
Publication of the announcement is
held up'for action by congress 011
pending amendments to the selective
service act. The most important of
the proposed changes, in the opinion
of Provost Marshal General Crowder,
is that which gives him authority to
base state quotas on the total num-
ber of men in Class A-l, instead of
the total registered.
Preparations have been made for
summoning the remaining negroes
certified under the first draft. Be-
tween 70,000 and HO,000 of these were
called, but only half of them have
been sent to training camps. The in-
advisability of training these troops
in southern training camps and the
fact that the army medical authori-
ties do not believe that it is safe
to transfer them to colder northern
camps during the winter are the prin-
cipal reasons given for delay.

OIL DOPE OF INTEREST
Tilings Begin to Look Up at Crescent
—Rockliounds at Work Now
Work 011 the derrick on the Cooper
farm, the northeast of H5-20-4w, was
commenced Wednesday. This test will
be in the northeast corner of the puar-
ter. The machinery and casing are 011
the ground and the well will be spud-
ded just as soon as the rig is up. The
pit was di/g the last of the week.—
Marshall Tribune.
Mr. Miller, of Newkirk, who engi-
neered the test 011 the Stambaugh
farm, south of Crescent, was in <'res
cent last week, according to the Lo-
gan County News, and is attempting!
to get matters straightened up on that
test. A preliminary geographical sur-
vey was made last week by a repre-
sentative of one of the larger oil com-
panies, of the formation around that
section, and his report resulted in the
arrival of a bunch of expert geolo-
gists the first of the following week,
who, it is said, will make a detailed
survey of this section. If their report
is favorable it is believed that devel-
opment in that section will follow by
one of the big companies very soon.
The test at Crescent, started with
a star rig, was abandoned about a
year or more ago, after reaching n
depth of about 1400 feet. It could
hardly be construed as a real test of
that section.
The five-inch casing for the Chalker
test, near Kiel, arrived the last of
the week. Drilling will oe resumed at
that test as soon a> the casing can
be placed.
Litigation is reported delaying the
completion of the, Duffv test, west of
Hennessey.
The Invanhoc Petroleum Co. has
announced its intention of beginning
work on its test in Gareld county,
northwest of the Duffv test.

The Foundation of Nations
IN the "safety deposit" of human knowledge—the dictionary—there is
the small but powerful word THRIFT which means saving, success,
industry, good fortune and all else that is best for people, cities and
nations.
Thrift is "banked" happiness—it is the foundation of prosperity
and the key of all industry.
Thrift poisons and exterminates bad luck, failure, indolence, doubt,
fear, worry, and eliminates the chances of a wasted life. The moss of
misfortune, the weeds of poverty and mortgages of mistakes will not grow
Qn a thrifty man or his business.
It takes SUCH A LITTLE SAVING to make MEN thrifty and the
results mean so much.
People should not be as much pitied for their hardships as envied
for their opportunities, and their are more opportunities today than ever
before for the man with a little cash in bank.
Cultivate the HABIT of thrift—ACQUIRE the habit of thrift
SAVE SOME and you will find that SUM will do so much to help realize
your ambitions. It is as easy to be so much ahead instead of that much
behind.
Buy a Baby Bond or War Savings Stamp.
It is the one MOVE you can make without a hesitancy.

perty of Charles Minton
A mule and a cow died last week
at the Charles Minton farm, north-
west of Hennessey, in the Bison nei-
ghborhood. The animals showed unmis-
takable symptoms of hyprophobia and
had doubtless been infected by some
rabid dog that had strayed into the
neighborhood.
