mails, as 5troNg as Among Those
of France.

"French wardogs are not the only
ones that could be taught to do great
service in the world struggle re-
marked Fl. r. Turner, a Kel@uckian,
discussing the marvellous feats per-
formed by some Of the dogs on the
battlefields of France, at the Willard,
according to the Washington Post
"The dog Of America commonly.
called a cur has instinct for such
service. His sense Of direction is as
tonishing. Some patriotic women in,
the West have undertaken to train
dogs for Red Cross work, and they
have found that the eur dog is pos.
sessed Of all the natural qualifica-
tons for war service. But, in my.
judgment, the Kentucky hunting
dog is better adapted for this work.
than any other because Of his won
derful instincts. A few years ago al
sportsman OF Iowa had huntlng
dog bred in Kentucky. 1t was an un-
usually fine dog, and during the rae
ing season in Kentucky he sent his
dog back to Kentucky to take part
in the fox chasing. After the sport
was over the friends to whom the:
animal had been sent lost him,
They were much perturbed because
they had promised they would see
that the dog was sent safe back home
to Iowa. After many days of search
ing, however, they sent word to the
owner that the animal had disap-
peared. Sixty days afterward they
were informed that the dog had re-,
turned to his home in Iowa."

completing the survey of the Grady

lect data for the grouping of dis
tricts for future consolidation of
schools over the state, three coun-
ties were selected. The department
heads endeavored to get three typical
counties. They selected Alfalfa,
Wagner and Grady county, where
the crops, the school situation as
well as the population, are widely
varied.
1--WE are taking n complete educa-
tional survey as we go and when fin
ished the data gathered will cover
every phase of the school situation.
1t IS the purpose to collect the infor-
maiion, SO that when the consolida.
tion comes, the correct apportion.
ment will be made. That is, we dc
llot want several rich districts to con.
solidate, leaving some small and less
fortunate district in such a position
that it cannot consolidate with any
OF: er set of districts. The work will
be completed in Grady county soon
