The eats were served in the botanical
Gardens, and it was Jolly. to say the
least. Supper and food remind me Of a
story Mrs. MacEuen told. She Is an
ardent suff, you know. When the Hoover
registration tickets were being distributed
huge colored policemen brought hers,
Taking 1t, she asked rs this a registra-
ton form for my vote?" mo, ma am
not me, I doan prove of no women folks
votin'. Dey better stay home whar cey
Belongs" said he.
Mrs. Greenough, who was there at the
party with her daughter, says that an
irishman brought her card. She being Il
prohibitionist, said to him, "What about
restricting the liquor?" The policeman
grinned and said, I'm teetotaler fol
ntteen years myself, but sure a couple
oi glasses of whisky or beer will put
courage into a man--you never heard oI
one beating his wife unless he'd had q
drink in him."

Dogs in Recent Wars.

Tho value Of canine help on the bat
tieheh, particularly III connection with
Red Cross work, has come to he rec
ognized in all countries. No fewer
than six hundred dogs took part III the
Italian campaign in Tripoli, hundreds
of wounded men who might otherwise
have been left to their fate being found
by the animals and duly rescued
During the Russo-Jaranese war the
Russians employed hundreds Of trained
collies in Mancburia, with the result
that numbers of wounded men were
discovered who otherwise might have
escaped the vigilance of an over
worked ambulance corps,
In the Franco-German war, both sides
employed dogs with great success. AZ
the present time all the great powers
at war place a high value on the serv.
ices of dogs. Germany alone has prob
ably 10000 dogs modified on her bat
tlefronts, and the Allies are training
large numbers of dogs for use in am
bulanee work. sentinel and guard duty
the carrying of dispatches and the trans
porting and conveying of ammunition and
light artillery.
It is in the search for and the relief
of the wounded that use is found for
the highest type of dog intellect the
animals being successfully trained not
only to find wounded men. bnt to indi-
cate their whereabouts to the amhu-
lance corps.

FIGHTING FOR GREAT OBJECT.

We, too, have gone into this war for
great and worthy object We have
gone in to defend our own honor and
existence. We have gone in to save
the liberty-loving peoples of mankind
from covering under the heel of an
alien aggressor, and we shall not rest
until we have humbled the pride of the
most brutal, the most blood thirsty. the
most ruthless military autocracy the
world has ever seen; an autocracy that
applies the principles of Mongol and
Tartar conquerors, aided by the apph-
ances of modern scientific civilization.
We will not rest until we have estab-
lished the right of every wen-behaved
people to enjoy its freedom under what
government it chooses and until we
have removed the power to do wrong
of the Prussiamzed Germany of the
Observation-Disclosures Roosevelt in
address at Hartford, Conn.

quickly as possible If we cease specu-
lating about when it will probably end
and devote all our energies TO winning
it.
Meanwhile, MIR. Editor. if YOU know
Of any man, woman or child IN our
town or III any other town, who is not
doing every last thing he can do TO
help win the war, do not protect that
man, woman or child from public opin-
ion. If there are those among us who
will not cooperate in the food cam
Faign. who will not do all they can
to help the Red Cross. who will not an
tagonize pro-Germanism, who Will not
buy a Liberty bond and will not give

short, who will not do their bit, let us
know who they are-publish THEN

they have none. let us know il.

minimum wage scale has been fixed
for all shipyards in the country. The
schedule as announced does not give
satisfaction to the unions and some of
their leaders have threatened a general
tie-up. Wiser eounsels NAV prevail,
for they have been informed that if
they take issue, they will have to deal
with the government. The owners of
the shipyards are merely a4,nts of the
government for the duration of the
war. The government proposes to have
IFS program for the construction of
ships to the amount of G,00O,o0o tons
IN 1918 carried out II is safe to say
that the full authority of the govern.
ment will be exercised to oct the work
done Nothing will be allowed to in
terferc. The Shipbuilding program is
Ia vital part Of the country's rarticipa
ton in the war Any slowing up might
have very serious consequences. The
prompt realization of this fact on the
part Of those employed in shipvards
IS dictated by all the prudential and
patriotic considerations that can be
brought to bear.

TWO PIGEONS.
ly MARY GRAHAM BONNER

The day was very windy, and high
in the air two pigeons were flying.
One was a lovely blue one and the
other was blue and gray
Hello, coo-coo,' said Mr.. Blue Pig
con.
'Hello, cOo-coo," said Miss Gray
Pigeon. Although she was both blue
and gray she was always known as
Miss Gray Pigeon.
Don't 90 so fast, coo-co0,' said
Mr. Blue Pigeon. Let me join you.
The wind almost carries us along. We
don't need to hurry So
Now Miss Gray Pigeon didn't really
want to hurry. She was only pre-
tending she was in a great hurry. She
wanted Mr. Blue Pigeon to follow her,
for she had long admired his blue
feathers and his collar of blue and
green which shone in the bright sun
light
lets sit on the caves under yondor
window" said Mr. Blue Pigeon. as he
caught up with Miss Gray Pigeon. Il
have something | want TO tell YOU"
Miss Gray Pigeon was all Of a-fiutter.
What could Mr.. Blue Pigeon want 10
cay to her? She hoped-and yet she
hardly dared hope SO much.
He was such very handsome pig
con and though she was lovely herself,
still she didn't think She was nearly
so fine as Mr.. Rlue Pigeon.
They settled down on the caves un-
der the window. and Mr.. Blue Pigeon
began 10 coo lovely little songs to her
They were quite the sweetest songs
Miss Gray Pigeon had ever heard
though they We're the same songs
which pigeons have sung to each other
for wears and yearS-aS many years
as there have been pigeons-and thai
means 4 great many years.
Tile names of the songs are called
the pigeon Coo Songs and Mr.. Rlut
Pigeon had a beautiful soft voice.
Il love you 50 much" he said, anC
Miss Gray Pigeon said:
Goo, coo, | love you too"
Then said Mr.. Blue Pigeon. :
want you to make your home with me
I shall hunt for goodies for Us to eat
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-11-07
"Heiio. Coo. Coo" Said MIR. Blue
Pigeon.

ana Well he 50 happy. We will coo
all day long-that is when we're not
eating and bathing and flying. And
sometimes We will coo even then"
Miss Gray Pigeon was very happy
She was very much battered and hon
ored TOO. For long time they sat on
the caves under the window and after
awhile Mr.. Blue Pigeon said: 1--WE
must get our wedding breakfast now.
Come, Coo. coo. COO, I'll look for it,"
They flew down to the ground to-
gether. And what should they see be
fore them but regular feast!
Some children had left crumbs and
other delicious things that pigeons
love. on the ground. They had seen the
pigeons and thought perhaps they
might be hungry.
Look. - said Miss Gray Pigeon.
"You have surprise for me! Here
is our wedding feast all ready"
II didn't do this" said Mr.. Blue
Pigeon very truthfully. II think some
lovely children did ,his for us. | have
seen some children around here lately,
and they have seemed 50 friendly. |
have been a little afraid Of them bur
am sure | will never feel afraid again"
From MI around other pigeons joined
the wedding feast. This is our we'd
ding day" said Mr. Blue Pigeon.
That's why we are having 4 feast"
And the pigeons all ate and nihhled
al the crumbs as if they had never had
Such q feast before IN all their lives
Now when the children came back
they saw all the crumbs had gone. and
all the pigeons had flown away, except
Mr.. Blue Pigeon and Miss Gray Pig
con.
Goo. coo. thank you. thank you"
said Mr.. Blue Pigeon and Miss Gray
Pigeon.
Nice pigeons. good pigeons" said
the children.
They were afraid that the pigeons
would fly off But not at all. They had
grown quite tame. And such friends
as they all became
Every morning the children gave the
pigeons food, and for come wonderful
reason. they couldn't understandable
pigeons were especially tame, and
would let the children stroke their
soft heads while they said, 5000, COO
But the real reason was that Mr..
Blue Pigeon and Miss Gray Pigeon had
been given wedding feast by the chill
drea and they showed their thanks by
being tame and by acting IKE real pets
for their devoted children friends.
