Town Clerk Gilbert Gets
Letter From Goyem-
or Whitman
Owners of unliceuHed dogs who do oot wish to Blng a threnody orer the ¦clzare and possible execution of their pets, beware! I..lkewlse all tiBgle.Hs bow-wows In the county that Itave laid plans for a winter of un¬ licensed freedom—aharing, perhaps, the opinion of their owners that tb« I.«gl8latlve enactment which makea It compuLsory for all dogra to have li¬ cenaes, is only being enforced In cer¬ tain aectlonn of the fltate. To such the Department of ARrlcuIturc, In a letter aent to Town Clerk Ollbert, has sounded a note of warning. The let¬ ter Btate.s that efforts have been mado eTerj^where to enforce the law, and that Oovernor Whitman has Informed the Department that the new State Police, who by the way are now pa¬ trolling Nassau County, will asHlst In the execution of the law. The Town dork Is also advised that the De¬ partment hope's to make arrangcmenf.s so that U can utilize the services of the State constabulary at once.
In that case, the letter says, one or more State policemen will be sent to the township to help clean up the present matter. The letter, which la penned by C. W. Larmon, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, says. In conclu- aion, "In many towns in the State every dog has been licensed, killed or otherwise accounted for, and in many dtlea a general clean up of doga has been made." The letter was sent In reaponse to an Inquiry from Town Clerk G4Ibert regarding methods used in enforcing the law in other Hcctions of the State.
Constables of the county who have cauaed the Town Law to become dog¬ eared through constant searching for ways to act and to collect their feea for taking unlicensed dogs are find¬ ing the outlook less tenebrous .since the aid of tbe State police has been promised, and even Constable Georgo Smith, who had beeu rather dogiratic In his asFcrtion that he can not And time to .sei/.e all the unlicensed doKS In hla district Is rejoicing over the news that when the law Is fully en¬ forced he will not be alone In his •work of gathering up aome of the 7469 unlicensed dogs in the Town and of sending others to the dog limbo after ending their tellurian existence aa painlessly as possible.

The king hiiBlnesa is in danger here as well as abroad. Old King naileycorn, for Instance, Is reported as having a helluve hard time with his Brt>oklyn subjects. The Brook¬ lyn Kagle reports that 50 per cent less alcoholic patients are treated to¬ day In the Kings County Hospital than a year ago, while the falling off In nellevuo Hospital Is actually 90 per cent. The doctors do not attrib¬ ute these wtartllng statistics to the Increased cost of the spirituous Red Kye. but rather to the Increased de¬ mand and corresponding supply of "steady work and lots of It." But whatever the reason, long live King Barleycorn In his resent (state of "Impaired usefulness." Speed the day of innocuous desuetude for his kingship. May Orooklyn's alcoholic beams lighten all I/ong Island and lead topers and »ot» and moderated to open revolt against his majesty.
CLASSinCATlON FOR COMING DRAFT
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont Is "miffed," pay.8 the New York World, because "her part" In the recent Biiffrage vic¬ tory Is not appreciated, not even re¬ ferred to in suffrage circles, and what, is far worfie, la not mentioned hy the presH. True suffragists say It serves her right, for her followers --those who hear through snow and Ice tbat banner with the strange de¬ vice, the broad-axe and butcher's cleaver—lost the cau.se many male vote.^ on account of their antics around the Whito House. But this Is a suhjert which .''hould properly he left to Mrs, Catt. She can handle Mrs. Belmont',8 case, knowing the facts and having none of that snpcr- senpltlvpnep,s of a mere man in their h.andling. If suffrage Is carried to its logical conclusion, a public bout be¬ tween thes," two vigorous ladies may he expected. Mr. Ifarry Temple will doiihtless see in this thought an op¬ portunity for the exercise of his tal¬ ents as a referee.
Rockville Centr? la the htime of some really curious people. Only one of its five village trustees was on Ihe platform at the vlllapo's recent public meetinp to .soil Liberty Bonds. ¦But Villa?;c President Wright was equal to the occasioa and scored ac¬ cordingly In the estimation of think¬ ing Americans. I'he other four hung around the fringes of the crcwd and looked on. That .same hustling .sub¬ urb nf Freeport ha.s another curiosity, a fci'ocor who charges 12 cents a pound for sugar and in substance de¬ clared "to -— with the Liberty
r.onds." An early test of Hoovcr- isni may bo expected, for citizens are already asking whether the food au¬ thorities of the county, state and na¬ tion will take cognizance ot the 8^.- uatlon.
Ocoanside "went" Republican the other day, to the astonishment of dverybody, including Oceanslde it- .'elf. In the very darkest hour of Democracy it never did such a thing. In 1896, even, it pave the peerless Bryan a majority. The Democrats at¬ tribute their black eye this year to the masterful inactivity of their Gar¬ den City leader. Not a single meet¬ ing was called, not even a watcher's certificate was distributed, not even a nickle was given out on "dough day," for there was no dough day for Democrats throughout the length .ind breadth of Hempstead. The Bui Bui bird which is popularly suppos- td to sing aud gladden Democratic souls was dumb. The Dickey Bird, on the other hand, which ministers to Republicans, was on the job.

NEIGHBORHOOD WORKERS APPEAL
A committee of the Neighborhood Workers of Freeport, consisting of Mrs. H. B. Clock, Miss Sara R. Stuart, .Mrs. John M. Harrington. Mrs. Ed¬ ward B. Lent, Mrs. George H. Story, is sending out an appeal for the sale of Red Cross Seals for 1917. As stat¬ ed by them, every year the proceeds of the sale of Red Cra.ts Christmas Seals are devoted toward the stamp¬ ing out of tuberculosti.
Because of the geDcrosity of the people In the past, Preeport has been
placd on the Honor Roll; anil. In pplte of the many recent demands for other worthy objects, they trust that the citizens will recognize the vital imporlanre of contlnulnjr the work.
They are writing foremost citizens, and enclosing an envelope in order that they may conveniently send one dollar. A contribution of two to five dollars can be made.
They ask to please bear in mind that whatever amount Is gTven it will aid the suffering or help protect the endangered.
UNCLE SAM CALLS FOR 500 TYPISTS
The Ordnance Depa-tment, United States Anjy, must o'ccure at least .'>on stenosrraphers or typists at once to work in Washington for the dura¬ tion of the war (and probably per¬ manently if they chose).
Females or males (males in draft age not exempted) received $1100 a year and up, according to Civil Ser¬ vice rating, which it is understood has lieen lowered somewhat in its require¬ ments.
This is a wonderful patriotic op¬ portunity to do your bit, receive ^ood pay, and help your country.
