Canine Happenings.

Last week we innOcently wrote
an article about Ed. Shearer's
dog and our own. Yes, and we
started something. Hardly had
our thousand newsboys reached
the streets, to sell to the anx-
iously awaiting public our week
ly edition, when we got chal-
lenges from all quarters from
fellows with dogs to clean up the
sidewalks. We can't decide
whether it is zeal to rid the pave
ment of "purps" or the injus-
tice of asking some to pay a dog.
license and letting these good
for-nothings go free. Here is
what we received.
Ed Pennington, the genial en-
gineer in the S. P. yards, came
to our office to tell us that he
had an Airdale, by title Captain
Stein," that could clean up the
sidewalk in fifteen minutes by
himself. Fat Hoy" proprietor
of the Up-to-D Date restaurant,
heard him make that assertion
and Fat" said, IF he does, I'll
have the cook fix him up a fine
steak, for / want to get rid of
those - dogs"
1t seems that A. ]. Inderrieden
has a dog also with aspirations
for honors. A. j. called US up
on the phone and said: "Mr.
Editor. if you want that main
street of yours cleaned of
buns in the shape of sleeping
ours, l have a little white and
brown spotted dog by the name
of Bill weighing not over Is
pounds, that can lick every dog
on the street, yes, and rid the
whole neighborhood of cats"
Whew! Some dog, A. j., some
dog, Must be an Irish TERROR. -
We thought the excitement
was all over at that last phone
call, but Wednesdays mail
brought us a letter.
Many people have missed B.
B. Ownby and have been won
dering what had became of this
old timer. Our dog article in
last issue led to his whereabouts.
Uncle Bramble is working out on
the new state highway between
Silver City and Deming. Here
is his letter:
Editor Liberal:-Out on the
lonely prairie in my tent l read
with great interest the Western
liberal every week. Last week
y1u had an article about Ed
81 carers dog. Well, my dog,
'Trailer,' pulled off a stunt a
week ago that you can't beat.
THO tramps came to the kitchen
Of our camp, while we were half
a mile down the road. Our dog,
Trailer heard them, and in an
swer to their cries we ran to the
camp kitchen and found Trailer
with a leg of one tramp's~ trousers
dangling from his jaws and the
other tramp on the floor with
Trailer on top. He is what l
claim to be real scrapping dog"
Uncle Bramble, we have held
ever since the war broke out that
Kaiser Bill was the biggest liar
on earth, but we hadn't heard
your story then.

All Cats Dead,

Love Jones, of the firm of
Jones & Winslow, got riled up
last week because a cat ate up
four of his chickens. Love was
so peeved that he got out his old
trusty, rubbed the rust off of it,
and killed nine cats. Not nine
lives out of one cat, but nine
cats. Too hot to get so excited,

TWIN SIX Packard
IS A BEAUTY CAR
Long Low Effect Blended
by Fuselage Lines is
Apparent
MOTOR LATEST
POSSIBLE TYPE

In referring to the new Twin Sixmodel
E. L. Bixby, manager Of the Packard
Wilmington branch. states It embodies
mo- beauty than any preceding podel'
although Il carries the han marks that
have Ions distinguished Packard cars.
in both open and enclosed cars the long.
low effect blended by fuseage lines is
strikingly apparent. The powerful,
smooth and economical performance OF
the Twin Six motor have established
the twelve cylinder engine in favor OF
motorists. Economy of gasoline con-
sumption, rapidiiy OF pick up, wide
range Of ability on high gear, smooth
ness Of action at an speeds and surplus
power for hill climbing are Identified
with the new Twin Six to an even
greater degree than in any previous
model.
In speaking Of the general utility Of
the motor car today. Mr.. BiXby relates
that one Of the chief reasons for the
rapid adoption Of the automobile, to so
back a few years, was the inadequacy
of the horse. Now that there Is made
quate rail transportation. because Of
the war conditions, an ever wider field
Of operation is offered in the passenger
car. The decision Of the Government TO
cut OF drawingroom, cars from railroad
trims and to discontinue many passen-
ger trains ordinarily would inconven-
ience the man Of affairs. Yet the man
with a capable and thoroughly depend
able motor car need not be inoon-
yenienced
The necessity Of the motor car is be-
coming generally recognized in an un-
disputable manner, as some one has
said, Eliminate the motor car and we
would relroact fifty years and our Ell
cheney would be cut in half" It is par
ticularly certain that much greater use
Is TO be made Of the highways for gen
eral passenger needs in the city TO SUI
aurb ana from city to city travel With
good roads the individual transporta- /
tion service to be had by means of the |
motor car can be made an actual means /
of saving time, money and economy.
