Hockey. Texas. Dear Haphammer: As
we are having such an interesting conteSt
now, | thought ! could step In and cast
my vote for the faithful shepherd which
thoroughly deserves the most woes and
should be our club pet. Some Hlps vote
for the st. Bernard. or for the Newfound-
land. but ! think tine shepherd is more
useful to us than any other dog in the
Nation. He does more good to his mas CT
than a human person could. think
naisie looked very sweet. innocent and
patieni in her little buggy. and hope -
see her soon n her invalid chair School
WIKI start in about two months. and |
. will be glad, Az Ian, very tired OF vaca-
ton. | will bring my letter % a close.
hoping the shepherd will soon Lead in The
contest. Your friend, Meta Kriegc,.
