There's a wise dog in town that
detests automobiles and more es-

! Isaac Kane Parks is it's particular
aversion, not because IL Is Isaec's
exactly, but more on account of the
explosions it emits when travelling
along the streets. This particular
canine caught hold Of one of Parks

anything OF a crooked or scandal
Gus nature Mishawaka can be
counted upon to do her share in
the expose. Think of the free ad-

One OF our Mishawaka physicians
whose duty IL - to examine the boys
called into service through the
draft. tells a good story on himself.
At a recent examination a young
Mishawaka lad formerly a News
Times carrier. was told by the doc

News-Times carrier could have
thought the retort courteous. It's

Horrors, After being obsessed
with the idea that Mishawaka was

Mishawaka in heavy blackface type.
