What has become Of The dog have
noticed that many, farms are dogless.
I presume since every farm is now
into the meadow or the COW into the
corn, so Little Boy Blue and his dog
Shep, have lost their jobs. Not hunt
ing dog is in evidence since the pra-
irie chickens have passed. Things do
move. We live in days of progress
and adyancement all along the line.
