SPEED UP
BY SARA EARL,
Of the vipilantes.

It's all very well to daily
When the world has q leisure hour.
But the man who can speed
When his country has need
Is the man with the balance of power.

Quick action they often restrain,
But the loss Of one day
Means some one must pay.
While our dear ones are dying In vain

From bandage to ultimate cost,
For the man with will
Who can speed up a bill

What attracted my attention was
nding the Identical letter in my home

No Trouble In Scotland.
Il The argument that dogs cannot be
Kept In sheep-growing country Is
refuted by Scotland. where there are
more dogs to the square mile than any
country in the world. One cannot
draw near" a Scottish home without

hearing "the watchdog's honest bark"
In many families each member has his
own dog and no child's life is consid-
cred llvable without one. But the best
evidence Of all is the shepherd himself
who would be lost without the help
and companionship Of his dtgs.
Be on Watch for Enemies.
Scotland is great sheep-growing
country, yet 1t loves the dog; gives
him his due In life and reveres him
In death. At the castle in Edinburgh
there is little plot Of ground where
the dogs Of the Scottish soldiers are
buried: 1t Is charming spot, and on
many little tombstones there are ten
der tributes to departed friends. In
front Of st. Giles cathedral In the same
noble city there Is monument with
little Skye terrier. and upon II. carved
In stone, an inscription to Robbie"
who refused to leave the church yard
where his master was buried and died
upon his grave.
We want more dogs in America-not
fewer. They would be of great serv-
Ice guarding ammunition plants; in
helping soldiers on guard at aqueducts
and bridges In ferreting out suspicious
characters. the forest rangers all over
the West would find them invaluable
In Ionsalv xrno1ad cauufrv Eormars
shepherds, cattlemen and ranchers
need them; aid the sneaking incen-
diaries. poisoners and devastators
would find their work much harder II
there were more watchdogs on guard.
We must not part with our dogs.
One has only to read what dogs have
done and are doing In this war to real
ize the extent to which they can. be
trained. 1t Is said that the Red Cross
dogs can detect life in wounded SOL
dier lying out In No Mans Land when
the doctors themselves are In doubt.
They carry messages through shot and
shell; they bring up food and water
to the first line trenches, and many q
brave man owes his life to the intelli-
gence and fidelity Of dog.
In future when we read any Of these
letters from the people" advocating
the destruction of the dogs-lt would
be well to find out the names and ad-
dresses Of the writer's and send them
to the secret service department to
be Investigated. We have many scores
to settle against the Germans, and not
the least Of them is their insidious,
treacherous propaganda against the

1t was quite the grandest affair held
In Berlin since the signing Of the
treaty of peace that had brought the
great war to an end, and everybody
that was anybody was there, Invita-
tions, indeed had been almost fran
tically sought for month. for 1t had
early become known that the host, his
excellency Grossmorden Schmidt. had
obtained. at an enormous expense, a
quantity of genuine blutwurst. which
was to form the piece de resistance Of
the magnificent banquet Of real food
that was to crown the occasion. After
years Of substitutes the prospect Of
once again tasting viands guiltless Of
sawdust. acorns. clay. bone dust and

Of synthetic chemistry, had thrown
Berlin's new aristocracy into state
Of joyous excitement scarcely ap-
preached In fervor since the n0w-long-

the press about the entrance OF Herr
