Like water and oil, dogs and sheep cton't mix worth a cent, and it would seem that when there is a getting to- gether of these two kinds of animals, the sheep have to suffer. Fifty years ago there were 6,300,000 sheep in this state. Now there are- less than half a million. One in sixteen of last year'3 Hooks was killed or injured by dogs. That, in a nutshell, is the history of sheep raising in New York for half a century. ' Even with wool- and meat where they- are, it seems, impossible to stop the falling off of this desirable stock. It is hoped the ,new'state dog law will be able to stay this slaughter, for.it is intended, so' it is explained, to see that it is enforced to the limit. There arc two points in this law worth remembering. When damage upon do- mestic animals by dogs exceeds eighty per cent, of the license foes, then in the county involved a dog quarantine automatically goes into effect. Such a quarantine may also be demanded by petition. This is designed to pre- vent night, marauding by dogs. , ' MUSIC MASTER DEAD. GROCER CLEMENTS OF OPINION THAT NOT MUCH WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED. Binghamton. N. Y., Aug. 9.—It now seems assured, after many difficulties, that Binghamton will get the three carloads of army food which the buyers purchased from the Schenec- tady warehouse of government sup- plies. It is difficult to describe just how much three carloads amounts to, but the average carload of canned goods holds about 600 cases. Those who anticipate buying large quantities at very low prices will be disappointed, but there will be bargains provided as far as possible. The committee in charge met at noon to-day to make further arrangements. Each purchase will be limited, probably to six cans of vegetables and a small amount of meat. The drill room at the state armory will be the municipal grocery store for the occasion and canteen workers will act as clerks and cashiers. The various goods will be separated and the prices made known by placards. You pay the money and give your order. Then you. will re- ceive a receipt and a clerk will supply the goods. The government to-day issued the official prices for those who wish to purchase through the. mail. On Mon- day, these lists will be mailed to post- masters and published. •'•..-, John R. Clements, head of the S. Mills Ely company, came out with a statement this morning. It is interest- ing as it gives the "other" side of the grocery proposition. While every- one will agree that the high cost of living should come down, it is -plain to^see that three carloads of food brought to the city is not going to ac- complish a great deal. • o • FANNIE SPARKS DEAD MISSIONARY AND POET SERVED FOR THE M.

A MARRIAGE ANNULLED YOUNG WOMAN APPLIED TO EL- MIRA JUDGE AFTER WAIT- ING THREE YEARS. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 9.—Justice George McCann, in supreme court, annulled the marriage of Mrs. Mildred Hoffman Emoraon to John Emerson, to whom she was married May 10, 1916, when seventeen years of age. After four months of married life, Mrs: Emerson received an interlocu- tory dsecree of"'divorce, and her final decree last Friday. Mrs. Emerson, at the time of her marriage, believed frer husband to bo of the Orthodox Jew- ish faith, the same as herself, but after the wedding found Him to be an Ital- ian of Catholic religion. Upon learn- ing of the deception the wife did notic- ing until following an illness he came to Utica, and went later to Bing- hamton, the wife following him. At the latter place he was arrested for non-support. He escaped from the police, but was finally captured and sentenced to three months in jail. The bride then began her action for the annulment of the marriage on the grounds that he had deceived her, that she was under age and had been married without' the consent of her parents. She disappeared for a time, but later turned up, and told her lawyer she had been living in Utica and was engaged to a young man of her own faith there. She had applied to her lawyer to ob- tain a certified copy of the annulment decree, which had been asked for by the local city clerk, when, with her fiance, she applied for a marriage li- cense. According to law the final de- cree should be applied for within 120 days, and three years had elapsed since the interlocutory decree was en- tered. The matter was finally arrang- ed and presented to Justice McCann at a spfceial term of the supreme court. Everything is rosy now for Mrs. Em- erson, and she has returned to this WORKING FOR THE THIRD Manager Hartman Has Led His Men Into Foreign Fields and He Will Be Away a Fortnight — Riley Hitting at the .300 Mark — Pete > Shields Joins After Leaving War Service. Binghamton, N. Y., Aug, 9.—Man- ager Chick Hartman led his Bingham- ton Broomes into foreign fields this week to battle with the enemy. It is the hope of the local pilot to return in two weeks with the team in third, place. All hope has been lost for a better po- sition in the league race, but the Bing- hamton leader feels certain his hire- lings will crowd out Buffalo and Newark. , The last home stay of the Bingham- ton team Was not much of a success. In the middle of the stretch of games, Frank Schulte resigned as manager of the club, and Hartman. who had been released several weeks before, was invited to take up the' reins again. Still the team has not been playing winning baseball. With the pitchers going strong, the hitters have failed to make good., Joe Shannon, left fielder, who proved a good batter early in the season, has been in a terrible slump and this has hurt the team's chance. Shannon has had many op- portunities to fie the score or win a game with a hit, but he failed to de- liver. But the streak of Jimmy Riley; .the popular fielder, has pleased the fans. When Shannon went into a slump, Pviley woke up, and started to hit, and today Riley is hoverijig around the .300 mark and is improving his record each day. In an effort to get more hitting out of the club, Manager Hart- man switched the batting order. Riley, who had been hitting third, was moved to fourth, and McLarry, who had been h:tting fifth, was moved to third posi- tion. * ~~ Since getting back on the job, Man- ager Hartman has plugged up the weak spot on the team—second base. Hartman is a reliably fielder, and with O'Rourke. ho makes a great man for the double play. Hartman was never a heavy sticker, but he is dependable in the pinches. Pete Shields, who covered first base for the team early in 1918. joined the club last week, after serving Uncle Sam for eighteen months. Shields is in fine shape, but has hot yet gotten his eye on the apple. When Pete starts to hit, outfielders in the league will have to move the fences to get his drives^ Shields has been used in right field by Manager Hartman, but the local leader ,is not satisfied with the ar- rangement and is after another out- fielder. It was rumored around town this week that Hartman is making an effort to land Bill Holden, hard-hit- ting gardener, who this week was re- Heased by Manager George Gibson, of Toronto team: ' Holden was released to the Roch- ester team, but refused to report. Then he. secured his unconditional release, from the Eeaves and' is considering'v. several offers. Holden ..would make a good man for the local .outfield; He is a hard hitter and good fielder. Holden hurt his arm in a fall about six weeks ago and his arm has been weak ever since, but it will be as strong as ever next season. Manager Hartman is al- ready counting his chances for next year and is getting in touch with ser- eral good men. The team will be away until August 1S, when the Newark Bears come hero for a series of gardes. After two weeks of play on the local Jot, the Broomes leave again for the road and finish the season away from home. THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL SITE Cortland, N". Y., Aug. 9.—All honor to John H. Finley, Mr. Finnegan (of the state department of education, and the state board of regents for sus- taining the choice of "about seven to one Cortland people, in their decision upon a site for the new normal school buildings rather than the choice of a majority of the Cortland state normal school board, which is on record as favoring both the-present site and the one in the smoke district on the Ran- dall fiats. A letter received by President William H. Clark, of the local board, from John H. Finley, the head of the state department of edu- cation, published in the esteemed Cortland Standard, states that: "The present Cortland normal school site, which it was planned before the fire to abandon for another site, is deemed inadequate for the best development of the school, and the funds appro- priated by the* state for a site are not sufficient to make posssble its adequate enlargement. Those representing the board of regents and the department who have examined this and other sites are of the opinion that the Ran- dall field would be entirely unsatis- factory. I have, therefore, with the unanimous approval of the board of regents, to ask the local board to recommend promptly other possible sites.

The advantages of ' the hill site,/ which have been fully set forth from time to time In the Telegram, which is the unanimous choice of the* regents, Drs.

The melon is cut in half, a half chilled in the icebox. It is then served on' an enormous platter and every one receives a sort of pie shaped piece. Some person use a bit of salt, some others like sugar, and there are. those it is said, who like vinegar. Now, there really are other good ways of using this luscious melon. If you have a French potato ball cutteiv make little balls of the watermelon and drain these, and chill them just before being served. Usually water- melon is used as a dessert for dinner. Try it is an appetizer. For this you should have rather small pieces, and -it would he nice served in this way on a warm day. Watermelon lends itself to salads, too. Use lettuce or other green leaves for a foundation. Then add balls of melon or firm pieces cut into cubes. Add a . French dressing. Parboiled green peppers • that have been thoroughly chilled are nice if cut up in strips and served beside the pieces of melon on a salad bed. Watermelon makes a nice foundation for a fresh fruit sherbet.

It goes very well with chicken salad or any sort of cold dish. GET THE HABIT-SHOP MONDAY RAGE IN EUROPE LABOR LEADER AT SWITZER- LAND CONFERENCE PRE- , D1CTS DIRE DISTRESS; Before winter sets in there will be a terrible spasm of rage, and despair among the peoples of Europe in which the final remains of civilization may be totally'annihilated," it was predict- ed by Arthur Henderson, the British labor leader, at the opening session of the international Socialist conference in Switzerland.

He characterized the league organized in Paris, with- out Germany and Russia as members a "mere pleasantry." In alluding to the peace-treaty dur- ing his address, Mr. Henderson de- clared the principal points of it ought to be subjected to v immediate and\f thorough revision. Condemnation of support of Admiral Kolchak, head of the all-Russian governemnt at Omsk, by the entente nations, was express- ed by James Ramsay MacDonald, of the British delegation, and Marcel Gachm, French Socialist leader.

State Entomologist Felt calls atten- tion to the ravages of two varieties of caterpillars that make a specialty of apple trees, and are rather partial to tho youngest trees they can find. These are the yellow necked and the red humped apple tree caterpillars, unusually common in the last two years. They both feed in clusters, thus making their work easily recognized, and also when disturbed they elevate botlvends of their bodies, which, being so clustered, bear a resemblance to bunches of flowers. It is easy to cut off the limbs infested and burn_ or crush the worms, or destroy them by spraying with a poison. Now is the time to get after them, and by destroy- ing the caterpillars this year.sava trouble next year. It is a case where" a swat in time may save more than nine at some later date.
