|"Baldy" Never Quit Trying, Says
|Scotty Allen, His Proud Master
BY Jack Jungmeyer

BERKELEY, Cal, June IL. -
"He never quit trying-no matter
what the Odds"
1t is the tribute Of "Scotty"
Allen, worlds greatest sled driver,
to Badly" the wisest, hardest
dog that ever ran the northern
SHOWS.
The two have ben inseparable
for ten years; pals in fair weather
or foul: trail mates in glory and
adventure in far Alaska.
In that time Allen and his bald
faced leader have won three firsts,
three seconds and two thirds out
of eight entries in the grueling
4OS-mile Nome sweepstake.
Badly" has just been retired
from harness and is resting on his
honors here, while his master att
tends the Alaskan legislature, OF
which he is a member.
When "Scotty" Allen recently
sold and transported several hun
dred Huskies and Malamutes to
the allies on the French front for
ammunition transport he spared
Badly" Money wouldn't buy
him.
And that was only evening up
accounts, for the sagacious old
dog has several times saved his
master from suffering and once
from death by freezing.
1T was in the Solomon derby
said Allen-"a hard race. A
ground swell of snow was flying.
objects on the trail were hazy,
and the dogs and l were beginning
to weary. In running behind the
sled and swerving l bumped my
head on an obstruction and was
knocked senseless.
I'VE had only a slight lead, and
every minute was precious. The
dog knew that as well as l. He
took a human pride in winning.
The team must have gone consid-
cradle distance before Badly
realized that l was gone. He
cowed the other dogs, swerved the
sled and came back for me, beat
ing unerringly through the swirl
ing spume.
when came to he was licking
my face and whining. Even Id
those few minutes the intense cold
had frozen the garments to my
body and the deadly numbness
was already upon me.
Badly had saved my life.
Never before or since have / seen
him strain so magnificently to
make up those lost minutes. And
he won the race, though l was SO
groggy that | could scarcely drive.
Hes a grand old dog!"

The latest strategy to be used
lagainst spitball pitchers has been
invented this season by Louis
lGuisto, Indian first baseman, now
serving his first year in the ma
jors.
The big Indian has a formula
which will send any moist ball
artist hiking to the refreshment
stands and is Justly proud of his
achievement.
Bert Gallia of Washington was
Guisto's first victim.
Gallia had worked with the
moistened ball only part of an in

Henry called Tom Connolly,

Guisto admitted doctoring the

decline reductions will be releas-

doubtful.

the matter, preferring to let in

And few were the rooters who d

Which tied up still tighter each
inning,

In case the home team wasn't

But lately-well, maybe I'm get
ting too old
For having emotions SO youth
full
But anyway, lately the game
leaves me cold,
It's lost its old grip, to be truth
full.
No, brethren, my attitude isn't the
same
For somehow, when nations are
fighting
The hits and the runs In the ma

Don't seem to be very exciting.

Welcome On Their
Return.

new saving comes through a re-
form in one of the every day prac-
tices of life-the way we get our
daily groceries, meat, fruit, vege-
tables. They come to us almost
like the Mamma from Heaven. All
you did in the case of Mamma, |
believe, was to pick it up; all we
do in the case of our groceries is
to ask for them-ask for them at
any hour of the day-a dozen
times a day if we will-in any
quantity, box of matches, half
dozen bananas, a pound of steak,
and presto: it is put on the kitchen
table.
The Bureau of Commerce has
found that in the city of Washing
ton is costs IA per cent of the
gross sales of food to pay for its
delivery. On a food bill of about
twelve and three-quarter million
of dollars in 1916, Washington
paid over 100000 for sending the
stuff to the purchaser. Naturally
it cost more to deliver some things
than others. Ice, bread, milk, ice
cream, cost Washington most.
What is true of Washington is
true the country over, so the Com
mericial Economy Board finds. 1t
estimates that the gross delivery
expense of retail grocers in the
country is over S75.000,000 a year.
What is the sum used for? For
the hire of men to put up pack
ages, to run the number of wagons
and trucks required, to put them
in at your door, to go to your
house not once but often a half
dozen times day.
Of course this means reform
in the method of ordering. One
delivery day is all that ought to
be expected under present condi-
tions. If a woman knows that is
all she will get she will quickly
and easily reform her ways-or
carry her extra bundles.
A package in the hand will then
be as truly a badge of honor as a
Red Cross button on the coat
lapel.

Storage OF Early Potatoes

A great many people have gar
dens this year who have never
owned or worked on a home gar
den. Most of these amateur
gardens have grown potatoes, ex-
pecting that they will have enough
potatoes to supply the table for
some time. Most of the potatoes
planted were of the early varieties
and are now about ready to dig.
A word or so about the storage of
these potatoes may not come
amiss: The early varieties of po-
tatoes do not, as rule, keep as
we'll in storage as the late va
rieties. The principle reasons for
