TWO WEEKS OF GRACE PROMISED DOG TAXPAYERS Remy Devises Plan Whereby Warning Precedes J, P. Prosecution, In an effort to avoid confusion that resulted from prosecution by justices of peace last year, Prosecutor William H. Remy today said that dog owners will be given two weeks of grace to pay their taxes and escape appearance in justice courts. Trustees have been ordered to turn over names of the delinquents. Formal letters then will be sent out, requesting the immediate payment of the tax and submission of proof of payment to the prosecutor’s office. If this request is refused and the tax is not paid, the name of the dog owner then will be turned over to the justices for prosecution. Vestal C. Davis, Wayne Township trustee, was first to report. He gave names of forty-six. These persons will be warned at once. Prosecutor Remy said there was considerable misunderstanding over the law. „ “Whenever you buy a oofe,*vsh£ther it's in May or December, pay' your county tax. Some people think that they are not liable if they pur chase a dog after the assessor has been around." Last year hundreds of persons ig norant of the law were fined by justices on dog tax de • queney. COLLECTOR DROPS DEAD Resident Here 40 years—Dies Riding Bicycle. Funeral arrangements for Aaron T.

AUNT SARAH PEABODY at the Convention

BUT not

By AUNT SARAH PEABODY “J EW YORK CITY, July 1. —As I sat in my room last night strains of music came floating over the transom. It does one’s heart good to hear men folk, gathered together, singing the oldtime songs. There was real sentiment in the way the men in the next room were singing “Sweet Adeline.” And I could just tell that they were a lot of delegates feeling sort of homesick. I have always heard that there was something funny about these conventions. Well, it was mighty funny to me today when anew doorman refused to let me into the convention hall. He’s the first doorman who really has looked closely at my badge, and he said it was a “delegate” badge, all right, but not for the Democratic convention. Ordinarily I would have argued with him, but my feet are so sore from walking around that I was perfectly willing to go back to the hotel. Besides, it seems there is just as much chatter going on around the hotel as there is in the convention hall. The only difference Is that you “cto*gift close enough to hear what they're talking about in the h<itel I went back to my room and sat down to rest. Got to thinking about the old hen to come off with her chicks in a day or so, and worrying about whetTi 3Jartha Snooks remembered to water my geraniums. • Just couldn't make up my mind atShsit going home. Then I found a letter on my bureau which made It up for*”4%eIt was my hotel bill. „ I have presented the p'.ar.ks for the Dcmocra , f< convention platform that I had in mind and I've done all I can toward making the convention a success. Having just discovered that there are some newspaper people here who are writing about all of the convention doings, I do not think I am needed further. I’ll see you all back in “The Old Home Town.”
