The Yellow Dog
— I
As an example of how the Yellow
Dog appears to the public the follow- ;
ing Zoological Treatise has been com- ;
posed from expressions of opinion
voiced in the thousands of communi
cations addressed to Henry Irving
Dodge, founder of the Nation-wide
movement to suppress the spread of
enemy propaganda.
Mr. Dodge defined the thoughtless j
American who circulated Hun-bred j
lies as Yellow Dogs and his descrip
tion of the two-legged mongrel pa- !
triot has been amplified by the mem-j
bers of the Anti-Yellow Dog Clubs ;
that have been formed in practically j
every city in the United States.
What is “The Yellow Dog?”
He is a very peculiar animal.
He is a camouflaged dachshund.
He is changeable like a chameleon.
He is a low, while livered skunk.
He is a snake in the grass.
He is a vulture in human form. |
He carries a tale of woe.
He snaps at the American eagle.
He would destroy the of
happiness.
He lives on the bone of contention.
He is spotted with Kaiserism.
He would harass the English lion.
He spews on the lily of France.and
the chrysanthemum of Japan.
He has the fangs of a serpent.
He has the hide of a rhinocerous.
His bite spreads the rabies of
“kultur.”
His mouth foams with Hun-hatch
ed propaganda.
He bites the hand that feeds him.
He is a zebra marked with the
stripes of the Wilhelmstrasse.
He is a rat who when trouble ari
ses seeks the nearest hole.
The Yellow Dog is a hound of hell.
He is a porcupine who shoots his |
quills of hate in all directions.
He is a parrot who jabbers only j
the doggerel of kultur taught by his
master.
He is a barnacle who would lay r ]
the ship of state up for repairs.
He is a whale who spouts his
emulsion of Teutonism.
He is an eel who with slimy slip
periness wiggles out of the clutches
of the lavr.
He is an owl, who feigning wis
dom, hoots at all things worth while.
He is a moth, dazzled by the flame
of Prussianism, who stands ready to |
dash his foolish head against the |
wall.
He is a tick, who would make mis- .
erable the trusty oxen who are bear- J
ing the yoke of the war.
He is a wasp, who adding no sweet
through life.
He is an ostrich, who sticks his
head in the sands of time, and things
because he cannot see the light of
humanity that none can see his das
tardly deeds.
The Yellow' Dog is a cow w'ho kicks
over the of milk of human
kindness.
He is a bull maddened by the sight
of red, white and blue.
He howls the hymn of hate night
and day.
He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
He wears the collar of the Hohen
zollerns.
He is from the kennel of Kaiser- |
ism.

BUSINESS MEN PROTEST |
| i
Ho Not Want Carnivals There—Take
Away Much .Money Without l.eav- 1 ’
inti Anything For it Except Deple- i <
led Pocket books And Sad F\- J
pei ience. i <
The action of the business men of
Cumberland in protesting to the City
Council of that place against issuing
licenses to Carnivals is something ■
that is entitled to the commendation
i of that class of citizens who give con j
j sideration to these things. The car-,
! nival that was in Cambridge during
the past two or three weeks did noth
ing except cause many thoughtless
persons to waste considerable sums |
of money that should, in many ca- j
ses, have been saved against the ;
| time next winter when work will not j
|be so plentiful. Why not Cambridge !
i business men take similar action.’
j The statement from Cumberland
I is as follows:
1 State Senator George L. Eppler ex j
; ploded a bomb here Monday, when,in j
I open letter, he attacked the members j
j of the City Council of Cumberland j
i for granting a license to a carnival;
Ito show r here this w eek, after the j
i council last w'eek had passed an or-,
dinance unanimously prohibiting op- j
en air shows and carnivals exhibit- i
ing here at any time in the future, j
j Sentiment generally is against oarni- i
vals, which bring an undesirable ele- j
ment, and for this reason the conn- [
oil last week, on representation of |
citizens, passed the ordinance to keep i
them out, the ordinance being such
as to apply particularly to the carni
val now licensed for this week and
which brought Senator Eppler’s criti
cism of the council.
“In the absence of explanation,"
says the Senator. ’The action of the
council, to my mind, is unpatriotic in !
the extreme.” Senator Eppler cites |
present war needs as justification for j
his attack on the council, one large |
employer of labor here haxdng ap- ;
peared before the council and asser-|
ted that such a carnival near his j
plant would reduce his output 50 per
cent.
Following Senator Eppler’s letter,
the Ministerial Union of Cumberland
issued a strong excoriation of the
council for its action, demanding a
recall of the permit for the carnival,
and, if this is not possible, calling up
on the citizens here to refrain from
squandering money on such pleas
ures as being out of harmony with
patriotism.

Not a thing to keep you wrarm.

The story, briefly told, concerns 1
the lives of Monte Jackson and his j
sweetheart, Betty Adams. Monte
has an inherent fear of bloodshed,
and when war breaks out sidesteps,
on one excuse or another, enlistment.
In time his friends question his ex
cuses; he is blacklisted at his club, '
finally denounced as a coward, and
dropped by his set. Even his fiancee,
in the face of his continued evasions, j
loses faith and breaks their engage- |
ment. Only his mother stands by
1
him.
! Horrified at the position be occu- j
pies, in a revulsion of feeling, Monte
joins the service. He is sent to ,
i France, where Betty is already serv- I
• ing as a Red Cross nurse. Here he (
: works out his salvation, climbs back j
I into the love of friends and sweet
j heart, and covers himself with glory,
i See the picture. It is the sort of
I thing that might happen to any one
|of us. It is filled with human inter
! est. and appeals to the innate love of
■country and flag tn every loyal Amer
ican. It is a red-blooded American
play with a great idea behind it.—

Save The 2% Discount
On County Taxes
During September. |
The 3 per cent, discount period having j
expired on the Ist instant, this office desires j
i to express to county taxpayers, and the pub
lie generally, its appreciation of the splen- |
did spirit of co operation, as evidenced by |
j the payment during the month of August, of j
i nearly one-half of the entire Levy for 1918, j
1 both State and county.
The total collections for the month arc I
5128,255, and the record should be most '
■ 7
gratifying to all interested tn the welfare of j
the county.
To those taxpayers who were unable to
' take advantage of the August discount, we
call attention to the 2 per cent, discount on
i county taxes allowable during September.

STUDY OF FAIR FRIGE UST
MAKES GROCER TOE THE MARK
I
It is the business of the American j
housewife to see that her grocer keeps !
i faith with her. The Fair Price Lists
; should be studied carefully.
Every woman In war-time should 1
gauge to market with patriotism as
i well as purse. By studying these pub
i lished prices she can know what the |
,' more he should be reported to the |
local Food Administrator.
But there Is another side of this Fair
Price List. Patriotism demands that
housewives should market more Intel
ligently than they ever have before,
i They should keep In touch with the
(instantly changing conditions and
I suggestions of the Food Administra
tion and know why they are being
1 asked to do this, that and the other
1 thing. Much of this Information can
j be found In the printed matter accom- j
panylng the Fair Price List.
Since the heavier outs of beef are
needed for foreign shipment, house- \
wives are just now being urged to use
the lighter cuts for home consumption, j
Steer beef should be saved for the :
•oldlers and that from cattle dressing
under 476 pounds be used by civilians, i
In those markets where heavier beel
bae been sold tfce housewife should I
receive the beneAt of lower prices la 1
buying the lighter cuts.
It become*, then, one of her war-time
j marketing duties to compare prices, to ■
help create a public demand for these
lighter cuts, and to see that these de
mands are be4ng met by the local r*
tallers.
Stealing candy from a baby used to
be considered one of the meanest as
well as the easiest acts that could be
psrpetrated. Nowadays it is even more
despicable to hold back for selfish pur
poses the sugar that Is required to keep
* fit the Sammlev who are fighting our
battle overseas.
STRETCHING OUT THE SUGAR.
j The U. S. consumption of refined
sugar during the first live months of
1918 was 1,500,000 tons. That supply,
for various reasons, ha# not been re
plenished to the extent that was hoped
—the sugar yield was not as good as
hoped while the U-boat toll was rather
worse. Hence there will be until the
early winter and the new crop arrives
a distinct, but not disastrous, shortage
of sugar.
If any great proportion of the popu
lation Insist on clinging to the former
sugar ration, the supply on hand will
assuredly give out. Divine Providence
Is not likely to take care of a nation
that won’t take care of Itself, and
sugar can hardly be counted on to
drop from the skies However, the
Food Administration can and will
make/ the existing sugar stocks go ade
quately and equitably around provided
it gets the co-oporatlon of all loyal
cltlsens. That means cutting the
amount consumed weekly by each
mem/ber of a family from the 15 7
ounces permissible early In the year to
the 7.7 ounces now allowed. A few back,
sliders may get even more than their j
: six level teaspoonfuls per day without
causing sn acute famine. But their
enjoyment of the stolen sweets will
! hardly compensate for the disfavor
they will awaken among decent Amer*
leans. Even If the law doesn’t reach
them, they will find their punishment,
squatting in that No Man’s Lend which
separates loyal citizens from the pro- j
Gormans, trouble-makers and other \
active defeatists.
English women are suffering much
too* from headache than they were In
the dave when sweets were more plen
tiful.
