The dog tax In Jackson county was due January 1. It became delinquent March 1 and thru the generosity of the county court no penalty was charged until March 10. , The dog control board and the county court say they will insist at the present time that every owner of a dog or dogs In Jackson county pay the original license fee plus a penalty of one dollar or deliver their dog or dogs to the Jackson County Humane society . The Humane society has accepted the task of collecting this license due to the fact that the county is overrun with stray and unwanted animals In a half starved condition that are not only suffering themselves but causing suffering and financial loss by prey ing upon sheep, calves, pigs and poultry- " The Humane society feels that an emergency exists and Is heartily In co-operation with the county court and the dog control board to rectify this situation. There Is Just one of two things for the dog owne.r to do. the officials point out. "secure a license for your dog and have him wear It on his collar. In accordance !th the state 7.' cr tsc the dog to the Human Society that a complete record may oe had on your animal."
