LIFE TO BECOME
 HARD FOR DOGS

If there is a canine around your prem ises that draws your affection you had better get Fido a chain and tie h1m' unless you have dogproof fence around the back yard, for on and after Monday November 26 his life will be worth apout 3 cents in Mexican money if the oos catcher, to be named, gets him in the dog wagon.
 Also the city commission has ruled that you will have to stand trial and be fined, if found guilty, for letting Fido run promiscuously up and down the city thoroughfares. The recent mad dog scare has made this action advisable, commissioners say.
 And. by the way, this is another op- portunity for jobless men to take ad- vantage of to fill up the halls and cor riders around the city hall, seeking ap- pointment to sorne kind of job. The city will need a dog catcher and a dog wagon chauffeur"

SHELDON HEARD BY LARGE CROWD
 OF BUSINESS MEN
Business Expert Gives In- teresting Talk on Problems of Modern Industrial
 and Commercial Life

A. F. Sheldon, business expert made straightforward business talk that very highly pleased the audience of business men which packed the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce.
 After his talk many of Birmingham most prominent citizens crowded around him and thanked him for his remarks.
 A closer relationship between employ CT and empIoye and a higher desire on the part of every one to render faithful service to his employe or employer was the keynote of MT. Sheldon's talk.
 Service is the ultimate principle of ev- cry business and fevery employe, and If that service is denied on either side disruption and calamity perforce must follow" he said. Honesty and respect for ones fellowman is necessary for the attainment of efficient service, the ob- ject of all businesses. Every business has service for it's ultimate object and where that object is lost sight of there is soon no business, for unless a real desire to render a service is entertained by business it loses it's customers and incidentally its business. As for money Uelu6 lIf6 WHOl0 OL d puoAhSSS, why, money is servant and not a god"
 In speaking of advertising, Mfr. Sheldon said "You may not have heard of the waggin' variety of advertising, but it is the best form you can have; I refer to wagging tongues that speak of the worth of your merchandise in terms of praise" !"
 Big business,' MT. Sheldon said, "has had too many setbacks in our country, much more so than in England, where a man is knighted for success in business. whereas he Is, in many cases, indicted here when he is successful"
 The service to the business world of the employer and employe are divided by Mir. Sheldon into three groups on each side, duties, obligations and responsibilities on the part of the employees, and rights, privileges and prerogatives on the part of the employer. The proper execution of these functions will do away with many of the labor problems that confront the nation today, MT. Sheldon says.
 Business he said, lis conducted on the foundations of three principles, con- fidence, satisfaction and service, and without these three prineipes being the guiding method of a business, it fails -
 MT. Sheldon was brought to the city under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce.

 The group in the first line trenches had just sat down to their salmon sandwiches and coffee when they jumped up and cut loose with their automatic rifles at Germans who were discovered hanging out clothes on wire in battered village. The enc. my dived for cover like rabbits and they went on with their meal as if nothing had happened.
 EVIDENCES OF MUD
 This particular section of Frances long battle front in the earth does not absorb water like a sponge, as in some other loqtlities. T.hsre has been no rain for three Gays, so the ground is fairly dry. The uniforms of the men show evidences of where mud once has been, but that is all.
 From the first line Je<shes which are on hill, the German first line can be seen clearly between 500 and 1000 yards away. There was some thing in the German first line once, which will never go back to Ger many. It is woody dog y<rich de- serted the enemy, crossed No Mans Land, and bounded into an Ameri- can trench one dark night recently. It licked the hand of an American "doughboy" and was promptly fed with a. piece of white bread and a handful of Columbia river salmon. He was thereupon adopted. and now roams all around the trenches and even walks upon the parapet and through the barbed wire entanglements as if there were no war.

As the correspondent approached the trench lines over the shell-pitted ground the enemy started breaking shrapnel over the first line. This Err ing lasted but a brief time, stopping as suddenly as it began. Immediate ly afterward came detonsiions from the rear and the whiz of shells over- head as the American batteries got into action. Then smoke puffs sud- denly began appearing over the Ger man trenches. The infantrymen looked cautiously over No Mans Land while the firing was going on, but as soon as it was over they appeared to forget all about it.
 In a nearby dugout, the men off duty had not even heard the racket. Their principal worry seemed to be rats One occupant of the dugout explained that there was sleeping cats were kept in it. Cats were ev- anywhere sleeping on folded blankets and some were proving in dark cor ners or stalking their prey.
 IN GOOD HEALTH
 The men all appeared to be in the best of health, although during the wet and cold weather of previous days several men in this unit had contract ed trench feet and cold.
 While the sun was going down be- hind the hills and the darkness was coming on swiftly scarcely a shot was fired. Just as soon as the sun passed below the horizon, however, the German batteries opened up on one of the American battery posi- tions with hot fire, the high explos- ives bursting with the regularity of the clock tick, about one every sec- ond. The bombardment lasted a cou- pie minutes and then ended abruptly immediately the American batteries retaliated, flashes of orange colored flame stabbing the night. The deto- nations, some heavy and some light continued for sometime, with as much speed as the Germans had shown. Then the "strafing" and the answer being over, the artillery settled down for the night of usual quiet.
