Humane Society Asks Your Aid

HUMANE SOCIETY ASKS YOUR AID

The Humane Society of this city make the very human request of the people that they will patronize only those merchants who treat their horses kindly. A man who overloads his horse is in danger of underloading his measure. It is sometimes his way of balancing accounts.

These things ought not so to be, and can only be adjusted by the individual insisting upon the rights of the dumb animal. Educating out of an evil is better than punishment for it, and so some men and women burdened with love for the cause, have written "Black Beauty," "Beautiful Joe,'' "A Dog of Flanders," and "The Kentucky Cardinal;" all of which show the human side of this dumb creation which man often treats with greatest inhumanity.

The law is strong in Ann Arbor against this evil and if the people will co-operate with the law, investigations will be made, and satisfaction given.

Judge Cheever is president of the society and Mr. J. J. Goodyear, who formerly held this office and resigned from active work, is still as active as ever in his ardor for doing good.
