DOGS DINNER BELL.
Canine War Messengers Taught That
Shells Mean Food.

A DOG TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE, Sept. II correspondence of
The Associated Press).-A war dog s
dinner bell is bomb. When all is ready
for the meal, men standing near dug
out craters close to the kennels throw
in fused hand granades, and right and
left all over the place there are terrific
explosions with clouds of smoke and
dust.
The dogs are not frightened, for they
have been taught that explosions are
merely the prelude to meal. As the
grenades go off the "dogmen' run
down the line, pushing each dog s plate
of steaming food within reach, so that
all are served at the same time.
This training teaches the dogs, car
rying messages at the front to pass
through the heaviest barrage without
fear, believing that the only purpose
of all the racket is to announce his
dinner. Arriving with the message at
headquarters, the dog at once finds
his waiting master, who detaches the
message from the collar receptacle
and Immediately rewards the animal
with food. In this way communica-
tions can be maintained with advanced
clements of troops without the sacri-
fee of human life.
The advantages of dog messenger
are many The dog, of course, runs
much more quickly than man mes
senger, and presents a far more difficult
target for enemy snipers. In the case
of small garrsons in outlying posts, the
sending of soldier runners seriously
weakens the fighting power of the unit
besides exposing the messengers to all
The perils of a fireswept zone Ex-
perienee has proved that combina.
ton of dog and carrier pigeon service
is, if not more reliable than that of the
human runners, very much more eff
cient.
1t is Of the utmost Importance that
the dog of war be safeguarded from
all Establishments and temptations tc
linger among new-found friends, fol
everything depends, when he is released
upon his boiling straight back with hi:
precious message to his master. 4.
food is the reward for faithful services
no one but the master may give tht
dog even a scrap of meat.

TAKE A LOOK AHEAD.
Time Has Arrived to Plan for Fresh
Winter Egg Supply.

The time has arrived to plan for the
fresh winter egg supply. Pullets will
be very high and scarce; and if one is
to purchase any, it should be done right
away.
The next question is the capacity of
the hen house. IT does not pay TO
crowd them, it stops egg production and
disease is more apt to be prevalent
neither does it pay to have too few
birds, especially in this cold climate.
The house should contain enough birds
so that their animal heat will keep them
comfortable at night Heavy breeds
should have four square feet per bird,
in hocks up to 20 birds; and three and
one-half square feet for focks varying
from 90 to $50; three square feet per
bird in hoeks of 200 or more. For the
lighter birds, three and one-half square
feet, three square feet and two and
one-half square feet. respectively
would be a fair proportion.

service of the University of Vermont

WHY THE CATERPILLAR?
1t Seems to be One of Natures Greatest
MYSTERIES

Any householder who is a lover of
trees or shrubbery, and possesses a lin
gering notion that the world was Great
ed for the special benefit of man, may
get rude shock of doubt by consider
ing the caterpillar as he watches the re-
puisive creatures swarm over his green
world. To explain the caterpillar on any
theory which takes man and his works
into consideration is impossible, unless
we consider the transient beauty of the
butterfly and the producer of the silk
worm as compensations for the damage
done.
We may, if we like. question nature
for her production of the caterpillar. as
we fuss around the trees trying to burn
and otherwise get rid of it, but we even
tually have to admit that nature is de-
teripined to have them, goes to a great
deal of ingenious trouble to produce
them, and produces them on a quantity
scale exceeding even the promises OF Mr.
Creel. Further speculation on the sub
iect again leads Us to doubt as to the
fundamental intelligence of nature in the
caterpillar business. Having devised it,
she sets about deyising means of de-
stroying it. Nature makes them with
one hand, kills them with the other, and
they are worse than useless, anyway
In the endless variety of caterpillars
that develop into moths and butterflies
there is a waste of lfe and effort that
is as staggering to contemplate as are
the stellar distances. Billions upon bill
| Ions come into existence, of which but
an infinitesimal proportion reach the final
stage of development and in turn lay
the countless eggs from the arctic to
the tropics which batch and produce more
| billions. The young die in countless num-
| bors for lack of sustenance; beetles, rep
/ tiles. and animals eat them flies lay eggs
| in them, parasites and contagious dis
fases sweep them off, SO that the indig-
nant horticulturist, man, hardly makes
/ the SLIGHTEST impression on them with
his torches and poisons
Science has long had her eye en- the
caterpillar and has learned much OF its
ways Some idea of its menacing posi-
bilities may be gained from the knowl-
edge that caterpillar weighing at birth
one twentieth of a grain has by the time
lit il fifty days old. consumed three
quarters of pound of leaves. To con,

HOUSE FOR FOUR SOUS.
American Quakers Built it for Little

American Quakers Built it for Little
French Girl.
She was very little girl. and she
came to the young monsieurs from Amer
lea who build houses to ask him how
much their houses cost. She was of Vail
ly. She lived in cellar with her mother
and grandmother And she had begun
to feel that it was doing them no good.
She had saved up. six sous which is al
most six cants-and if the young mon
sieurs from America could build her a
really good house for that she would
Ike to order one at once
What did they do about it They told
her, without smile, that the cost of
houses was something YOU could never
be sure of. Sometimes they cost more,
sometimes less. 1t depended lot on the
sort Of house you wanted. But if she
would tell them that, and then csme
back next day, maybe they would know
about il then. And when she came back
they told her they had found they could
build the kind of house she wanted for
four sous. They built il The little girl
from Nailly was eminently satisfied with
it. She paid over the four sous, got her
mother and grandmother out of their
cellar. told how she had been spending
her money and they have been sharing
that four sou mansion ever since.

Quaker college. About go are now in
France. Others are in Russia. They
are cooperating with units or missions
of English Friends who have been in

And it is a part of the deep, Tong"
thinking of the Quaker that one thing
they are planning bids. fair to outlast
even the best house ever built for four
sous.
So far. though they have been en-
gagged in civilian relief They have
nursed and fed and clothed unnur1bared

$500 900 and constant supply of clothes
and bedding from home have given them
the means for it. They maintain two

homes and chidren's homes in the
