HOWELL'S ELLEN'S JOE
wins MANY PRIZES

Charles H. Howell, a local real es-
tate man. is a proud man since the
manner in which his English Setter
deg acquitted himself at the show
Thursday, Thirty eight settlers were
entered and Mr.. Howells dog won
first or the blue ribbon in the four
classes he entered. besides four spe-
oial pr'zes, including two silver cups
medal and $3.50 in gold.
The cups We're for the best dog or
bitch owned in the city and the best
dog or bitch owned in the State. Ell
lens Joe, the name OF the dog. is a
beautiful black and white, with tan
chops and licked. He won over DR..
Harris Friend Freckles and Cham
priced dog from Pennsylvania. Mr..
Howell was warmly congratulated by
his friends and the out-of-town dog
men. one of whom asked him to put a
price on his dog, while two profess
sional handlers urged him to allow
them to take him down the line as
they were sure he would beat more
dogs than would win over him, and in
fact, one guaranteed TO return him a
champion.
Mr.. Howell is a new man in the
show business. although he has owned
quite few dogs and his success with
this particular dog is a demonstrate on
OF what can be accomplished if one
will keep trying. as this dog was
thought TO be a failure in his puppy
hood. His sire is that we'll known
local dog, Joe DAVIS. who was one OF
the dogs Mr. Howell won over. Mr.
Howell also showed two others in the
setter classes. one puppy which was
second, and he got a reserve in the
novice class with his recent pur-
chase, Forrest Queen. which was not
in condition on account of being near
whelping time.
