BULLDOGS B
BY GEORGE FITCH
THE bulldog is the Dreadnaught

THE bulldog Is the Dreadnaught
of the canine tribe. He was
constructed by Nature in a bel
ligerent mood, and is admirably
fitted for anarchy and rebellion.
The bulldog Is not as large as the
mastif, which is something for
which to be thankful He has a
round, tapering body. foreshort-
cned tail, front legs shaped like tho
two sides OF Tyre and chest
which is so broad that you have to
get around on one side to see the
rest of him. The most distinguish
ing feature Of the bulldog is his
head. This is round. finished off at
the top with small round cars, and
for the rest is composed almost en-
tireiy Of jaw.
The bulldogs jaw Is capacious,
and is very substantially made, SO
as 10 enable him to grab an autono-
bile by the hind wheel and shake

Because Of their faithful and we'll
directed ferocity, bulldogs are
greatly beloved by their owners ex-
clusively Moreover. they are highly
priced for their ugliness, just as inn
pressionist pictures are. An abnor-
mally bow-legged bulldog, with
five-gallon chest and face which
looks like an old rubber shoe In
fit. will frequently bring $1,000 to
his designer.
In spite OF their appearance and
their talents. bulldogs are affection
ate and kind with those TO whom
they have been properly introduced.
For this reason we should strive at
all times TO enlarge our social ac-
quaintance with bulldogs. especially
when travelling In a strange country.

ing churches OF Nashville, the board
in session here has awarded the
twelfth annual session OF the Sun
day school congress to Nashville, fix
ing the date from June Is to IS.
The invitation was presented to the

tors of the city. After much delib-

GRAFTON was given to invitations from
such cities as Lexington and Louis
vile, ny, Chicago, Atlantic City,
New Orle ans, Shreveport and ST.

ing as given out by Secretary Henry
A. Boyd will embrace the second
Sunday in June, which is national
childrens day. 1t was not learned
until today that the invitation pre-
scented by Nashville was being work
ed up for Ihoue than a year., and the
solid front Of the Baptist churches
that have been active in the congress
movement from this city was pre-
scented at the meeting OF the board
when the selection was made.
1t is understood further from
Chairman c. r. Clark who has pre-
sided over the annuai sessions since
the congress was first launched and
from r. II Boyd, the founded and
the director of the congress move

district in northwestern Wisconsin.
The orchard forecasts and warnings
are principally for the benefit OF
fruit men in Ohio, Colorado, Utah,
Washington, Oregon and California
This service has been expanded by
the establishment of seven new sta
tons in the grape and peach growing
districts of northern Ohio and by
the detailing of trained men for spe-
cial duty in the fruit district of the
Hood river valley, Oregon. and the
Gunnison valley, Colorado. These
men study the local situation and
give expert information to the fruit
growers as to the temperatures to be
expected and as to the probable need
to light fires in their orchards.
Special rain and temperature
forecasts for the sheepmen in Ore
gon. Washington and Idaho were
made by the district forecaster at
Portland, Oregon. during the shear
ing and lambing season of 1916 1t
is estimated that there are more than
100000 sheep in these states. AS
winter feeding is expensive, sheep
are usually shorn and put or the
ranges as early as possible. Early
lambing is encouraged also. Before
being shorn, IL stormy and cold wea-
Their prevails, the sheep may sue
eumb to fatigue and starvation. and
after they are shorn it Is necessary
to keep them near natural or arti-
fetal protection for short period if
unfayorable conditions prevail. The
forecasts enable proper precautions
TO be taken BY anticipating these
conditions and also gives information
as to favorable weather conditions
for several days in advance. so that
sheep may be grazed farther away
from protection During the spring
of 1916 this information was tele-
graphed TO % different points in
these three states. and from them
distributedtby telephone to hundreds
of sheepmen.
In addition to the sheep service,
the weather bureau maintains spe-
cial cattle range weather services
with headquarters at Amarillo Tex
as. and Roswell. New Mexico OBJ
seFvations are made at IL special
stations and reports are received
from 20 other points in the cattle
range district of the southwest. Daily
bulletins are published giving stock
men the rainfall and temperature
over the southwestern cattle ranges.
