0E-CTIEYS JOB "Long Bland Celebrity Faces Opposition at Height Of Career COUNTY PG POSITION ba Possible Erection. of Animal Shelter Would Abolish Office _ Huntington, L.I., Aug, 20.-- ~ Popular while working his way up, . but surrounded by enemies just as . he reaches for the top round of his profession--that is the exper- ience of many a star of ftage and screen and it is also the experi- ence of James "Grab 'Em' Keho«, the nation's ciampion dog-catcher. Mr. Kehoe has sipped 'the heady nectar of success and now he must taste the dregs cf bitterness. Strong opposition has developed to #& crowning honor prepared for him by his admirers. He may not be appointe dog-catcher for the en- lire county of Suffolk after all, The women are opposed to it, Mr, Kehoe has been dog-catch- ing for some time, But last year was his banner year. He caught 1,700 dogs of all kinds in the four villages under his jurisdiction. This amazing total was reached, his friends will tell you, by good steady work, To catch so many dogs you have to catch five and two-thirds dogs every day, ex- elusive of Sundays and Holidays. so Miss a sindle day. and you'll be . behind. Take a two wéeks' vaen- _. tion and you'll find a potential #62 and 2-3 dogs piled up on your a desk when you get lack. 5 Serves Four Villages ig Mr, Kehoe, as far as the local == dogs could find out, never took 2 HE racation. He is "self-made dog- "iF catcher, having started out in a "modest way as the dog-catcher for ..a single village. He took pride in "" his work and soon other villages . 'were beating a track to his pound. At present he is dog-catcher for "4% Brookhaven, Huntington, Smith- * 1iown and Riverhead. : He was slated to be named 02- © catcher for the whole county this ofall, a development which his 'friends regarded as logical and placed before the county board of supervisors, Then, unexpectedly, = women, of Huntington strjek. Now . doubts are cast upon the "Fadvisability of having any county 'dog-catcher at all, let alone such 'a dog-catcher as Mr. Kehoe. .. Figuring that the potential fee + for each caught dog represents $9, $2 Mr. Kehoe is accused of having E made $13,000 off the 1,700 dogs ed dogs, Mr. 413,00, But "his enemies say is 'too efficient anyhow. Peculiar Position It is a peculiar position. If Mr. Kehoe were just an ordinary shift- less dog-catcher such as some of his predecessars, he would never have been mentioned for county dog-catcher. But since he is a real specialist in -hig line, he has been mentioned and stirred up stronger opposition than any other dog- catcher ever encountered locally. When it was first noticed that Mr. Kehoe was catching more dogs than was believed humanly possible wild rumors were circulated among the. small boys of. his jurisdiction as to his'methods, He was supposed to have added a leash to the or- dinary dog-catcher's net, and to he uncannily skillful in its manipula- tion, It was declared that he "had perfected a whistle no dog' eould resist. He was supposed: to have invented imitation cats and weiher- wurst for bait. A barber-shop joker even claimed that Mr, Kehoe had invented a mechanical groecer's hoy to lure house-dozs suspected of having no licenses as far ag, the front gate. Mr, Kehoe, notice of these Kehoe denies he made he however, = took whisper, if they ever reached his ears, He went right on catching dogs. And gbser- vation proved them all canards of the lowest sart. Mr. Kehoe estab- lished hig world record simply by hard work and grabbing them. 3 Unforseen Move The backbone of the opposition to making him county dog catcher lies in a situation that Mr. Kehoe could mever have foreseen. It is simply unfortunate, that's all. For eight years a group of women, known as the Huntington Animal no "he caught last year, exclusive of Weltare League, have been tryinz expenses and loss due fo. unclaime-T KEENLY CONTESTED JUMP ING A FEATURE The annual horse show opened at Cobourg, .

Accommodation is provided for 100 passengers, and besides a restaurant seating 50 people, there are prome- nade decks and lounges. The maxi- mum speed an hour is still air and a cruising speed of 74 to 75 miles au hour is expected. The cruising: ra- dius when carrying a full load of fuel and passengers, will be approximate: ly 3,000 miles. The Monitor is informed that the entire accommodation for the maiden flight from England to America has been fully reserved, as much as £1,000 having been offered for a berth. The annual Leinster Feis, em- bracing eight counties, was held in Longford recently. WHEN THRESHING Prevent Weeds from Pro- ducing Seeds, is Urged It is difficult to contro] and pre- vént the spread of weeds, such as Feld Bindweed, Perennial Sow This- tle and Couch .Grass, which spread rapidly by underground stem or root "stalks; consequently, land. not infest- ed with these weeds should be in- spected frequently, and plants of these found growing thereon should be dug up completely and burned. However these weeds are propogat- ed by seeds as well which 'as a mat- ter of fact is the: way in which most weeds arc introduced to land. and spread rapidly over farms localities and Soun jes. POLES in the eradication of weeds can be made by preventing weeds from producing seeds, and by pre- venting the introduction and distribu- tion of weed sceds to the land in the seed sown, in: the manure applied, or otherwise. The control of weeds on many farms is made more difficult as a result of these being allowed to produce seeds on roadsides, in lanes pastures, waste places, and . along fences and ditches, In' many cases the true value of clean seed is underestimated. It is impossible to control and eradicate weeds if seed sown is contaminated with weed seeds; therefore clean sced is essential in any system of weed control. Many serious infestations of weeds are known to have been started as a result of the weed seeds in the seed sown. Weeds which are allowed. to ripen and remain in the erop will be har. vested and threshed, and unless pro- vision is made to segragate the weed seeds, these will pass out of the sepe arator with grain, or be carried out with the chaff and straw. Weed seeds carried with the grain represent part of the dockage (too often the greater atr of it), and if the seeds be of the kind. which can- not be removed, the value er Ib, or per bushel of the product will be re- duced much below the market value of clean seed. Some kinds of weeds and weed seed are bitter and dis- tasteful--some injurious: to the health of live stock when fed in" certain quantities and all are undesirable in grain used for mapufacturing or seed ing purposes. If grain containing weed seeds be fed to live stock with- out being ground sufficiently to de- stroy the vitality of the seeds, many will be distributed on the land in the manure, still capable of producing pants and infesting new crops. There fore, it is advisable to prevent their being carried back to the land. s being the case the greatest |, w ator with the chaff and straw will be returned to the land so that an which are vital will germinate a produce. weeds to fest the next crop. It is advisable that as many 'as possible of the weed seeds be sep- arated at the time of threshing from the grain and the chaff and straw, "This may be accomplished by the { proper use of screens in the separa- tor. For years, scparators have been provided with a screen in the lower part of the shoe to remove small seeds from the grain ust before it is delivered from the machine, Re- cently' there has been used in some machines, a screen in the deck back of the concave, to remove small weed seeds from the grain, chaff and straw immediately following the process of shelling. The use of this screen is to be commended. As a result of the proper use of the two screens mentioned above, there is on the ground or on the floor un- der the machine, an accumulation of fine weed seeds and inert matter. In most, cases these use useless and harmful il allowed to spread, and urning. should Be destroyed . preferably by Unless the separator is well clean- ed after threshing, weed seeds may be carried from one farm to anothr and be distributed along roads and in lanes. Sufficient time should be tak- en to clean the separator well before it is moved. The matter of separat- ing weed seeds from the grain, chaff and straw, at the time of threshing and the cleaning of the machine is one for co- operation between the thresher and the farmer. This ser- vice is available to growers. It is the egneral desire of separator oper ators to meet the demands of farm- ers in this respect. The cleaning of the separator before being brought to the farm may save many dollars and much hard work. According to statistics millions of dollars are lost annually, as a resut of the weed scourge.
