Both are menaces to so ciety, and have no proper place in any civilized community. Aside from the illegality, dog pois oning is the most despicable of acts. Its perpetrator is devoid of the last vestige of sportsmanship. Not only does he jeopardize others than his opponent, but he attacks in the dark, without slightest warning and giving no fightnig chance whatever. No matter how ill bred the cur, he is a gentleman beside the man who would poison him. Official Paper for Morrow County O rje g a 'jvjlfgfc f r Vu bJfehers 1937 JUNE 1937 8un. I Mon. Tue. Wed. Thu.

Buck. Her inimical, straightforward style goes deeply into a philosophy that applies to hu mans everywhere. Fundamentally, Wang the Landlord, could be a man of the earth anywhere. And so it is when rains come in season, filling the earth with burst ing life, that Wang the Landlord re joices. He can look forward to enough to fill his storehouses against the long season in which the earth lies dormant, so that there will be no hungry mouths at his house, and besides have some to turn for a little silver with which to purchase some of the added joys of life. Wang the Landlord learned thru many trying years, some when there was no rain and the1 crops withered lifeless upon the ground, and others when the floods came and hopelessly covered up his fields, that his true security was with the earth for it constantly replenished his supplies of foodstuffs, clothing and silver, whereas without the land his sup plies faded and nothing came back to replace them. With copious rains this week, the good earth of Morrow county is wet and steaming, bursting with life such as Wang the Landlord was pleased to see. Little seeds sown in the past season have swelled and bursted and life in them grows abundantly, a soothing balm for sore eyes and ach ing hearts that found the earth less affluent in recent seasons. Where It Belongs AN IRATE Gazette Times reader would give dog poisoners some of their own medicine. Not enough to kill them, but just enough to make them think they were going to die, so that they might experience some of the body wracking pain which stricken dumb animals un dergo. Next to the man who steals pennies from a blind person, is the dog pois oner, our informant believes. Tho some dogs are sheep killers, the pois on rarely gets these. Instead, many faithful watchdogs and pets are the victims. No matter how much one may be aggravated by dogs, whether it be the neighbor's pet which persists in wearing a path through the newly sown lawn, or whether it be a com mon street mut that may sneak a choice morsel from the back porch, or mayhap snarl at one going along the street, still there is no excuse for the poisoner. There is plenty of law under which one may act, and city and county officials stand ready to cooperate in protecting property rights in a just manner. The dog poisoner takes the law in to his own hands just as muh as does Columbus Took a Chance. T AYS of depression have taught J our people to be very wary of stocks and speculation. It was the gambling instinct run rampant that caused prices to soar on the stock market far above any justification from earnings or the industries they represented. And it was the forced readjustment of values which caused the entire nation to suffer. So today, there should exist a great deal of caution, when venturing up on anything that smacks of specu lation. Still there exists the element of chance in any venture, greater or lesser as the nature of the venture may be. Columbus took a chance and discovered America. Great ex plored in other fields also took chances, many apparently hopeless to realize returns proportionately as as great as did Columbus, in science or in industry. . Behind every venture there must be a stage of exploration to seie if the nebulous idea really contains that of tangible worth. It is the promoters who attempt to make the tangible from the nebulous, and their explorations in the early state are termed "wild catting." We hold no brief for the thous ands of gentry who have fleeced honest people of hard earned savings through many fantastic wildcatting schemes. There have been unscru pulous promoters by the legion who have placed an odium upon the pro fession by their misleading practices. But when a promoter comes along and lays his cards face up on the table, hiding nothing and making no fantastic promises, then does he elicit our admiration. A new corporation has just been granted a permit to sell stock for the development of the natural gas possibilities at Wells Springs. It is purely and simply a wildcatting ven ture as admitted by its incorporators. There is nothing beyond the opinion of two professedly reputable geolo gists on which to pin one's faith when investing in the company's stock that is other than a business set-up which guarantees that the in vestors' money will not all be socked by a high-powered stock sales organ ization, as sometimes has happened. If Morrow county people buy the stock, they will do so with their eyes open, knowing that the hope of dividends lies in the nebulous idea containing the true germ of reality. But, still there is pleasure in toy ing with the idea of a producing gas field being uncovered right here in Morrow county. MOTHER. (Hilma Swenson Nelson of lone read this original poem at the an nual Troedson family reunion last Sunday.) The years have been long and lonely without you, Empty, silent and long. And, oh, how I miss you, my Mother. She was my friend, and now she is gone. I have grown; I, too, am a woman, Brown hair like you, and tall. I have only your picture to gaze at; Such comfort it brings to us all. But I dream of you, my Mother, so often In dreamland a child by your side. And now you sleep beneath the daisies, In God's mansion you now abide. Oh Mother, your name so holy in fame, Your love and tenderness came to us all. I alone will bow my head And join them today and know your name.
