GOLD STARS TOLD THE STORY
Pathetic Reason Why Elderly Lady
Was Glad of Companionship
of Fox Terrier Puppy.

A group of men were at lunch in
a New York club, and one of them
told this story:
"My daughter is going to school at
Wellesley. The other day a friend in
Boston sent her a little fox terrier
puppy. She couldn't keep him at
school, so she made inquiry for a
place where he could be boarded till
the end of the term. AS result Of
her inquiries she received note from
lady saying she would be glad to
take care of the dog, not only be-
cause of the little additional pin
money it would give her, but mainly
because she was very, very lonely. So
my daughter went to her home. There
she found sweet-faced, white-haired
old lady who must indeed have been
very lonely for in the front window
there hung service flag containing
five gold stars, each representing
son."
And that is the reason the old lady
with the halo of white hair was SO
lonely that she welcomed the compan-
ionship of even fox terrier puppy

FARM
ANIMALS
CONTROL SHEEP-KILLING DOG
Secretary of Agriculture Asks Twenty
Governors to Urge laws Pro-
tecting Sheep.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The enactment of more adequate
state laws to control sheep-killing
dogs is urged by Secretary Houston in
a letter just sent to the governors of
20 states. The secretary points out
that, although there has been a graft
flying increase in the number of sheep
in the United States in the past year,
there is room for further expansion Of
the industry. Farmers, he says, are
discouraged in many instances from
keeping sheep on account of the dam
ger of damage by dogs. The letters
were sent to the governors of Arkan-
sas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mary
land, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Okla
homa, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
where state legislatures are now in
session. Following is the letter:
IL understand that many states now
have under consideration the matter of
legislation to encourage the larger de-
velopment of the sheep industry by re-
moving or controlling the dog menace.
During the past year, as you perhaps
know, there has been a gratifying in
crease in the number OF sheep in the
United States. There Is undoubtedly
room in many sections of the country
for further expansion along this line,
especially in the settled farming areas.
The field representatives of this de-
partment, however, generally report
that farmers are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on ac-
count of the danger of damage by
dogs.

lily one for consideration and action by

When a thing like that happens a
man does not know exactly where he
is or how he feels. The largeness and
the smallness Of the world amaze him
the mystery Of life bewilders him; he
is confused in the presence of the IN
known quantity. How he behaves,
what he says or does, depends entirely
upon instincts beyond his control. This

USE FEED TROUGHS FOR PIGS

Young pigs should be given their
feeds in such a manner that each in

plest way to accomplish this is to al
low the pigs to eat from properly
constructed feed trough, one that will
keep the pigs out of the feed and will
lessen the possibility of crowding.

Delye into Lives

Lawton, Mich, Dec. 20-With the coroner's inquest completed and verdict returned to the af- feet that Maud Tabor, whose body was found in trunk month ago died as the result of an illegal operation, county authorities are endeavoring to delve more deeply into the mystery enshrouded lives of the Tabor family
 Mrs. Sarah Tabor still was in custody as were her son, Walter, and Joseph c. Virgo, once hus- band of the aged woman's daugh- ter. The authorities have so far been unable to reconcile the moth CTS story with the testimony oi Dr. A. s. Wathin of the University of Michigan, who claimed the death was due to an illegal opera. tion.
 Mrs. Tabor remains firm in her belief that she did not know her daughter Maud was about to be- come a mother; that no operation was performed, in her knowledge and that she believed Maud acci. dentally took sufficient chloroforn1 to cause death.
