FIRST PRIZE
have always been fond Of animals.
. Next to being president of the United
States, | would like to have the job
that Cy DeVry has as manager Of the
Lincoln Park zoo in Chicago. After
listening to his lecture the other
night at cha utauqua we can get some
idea of the troubles Noah had on the
ark. But with all of Mr.. Derry
troubles, would like to have his job
Dad says if the Lord ever wants to
pull off another flood, he thinks Mr.
DeVry would be good man to take
charge of the ark.
But | don't agree with him because
there is one thing I have against Mr..
Derry. When l visited the zoo in
Lincoln park | noticed signs all along
the path saying mo dogs allowed in
the park" and l didn't like that be-
cause you see, a dog is my favorite
animal.
God Made So Many"
I think he is Gods favorite animal,
too, because He made so many differ
ent kinds and scattered them all over
the earth
l think the dog is mans best friend.
Although some people think horse
is, but a horse is only slave while
a dog is a mans friend and compan-
ion. Wherever you find men you find
dogs. from the Arctic circle to the
equator
I'D in Greenland and Alaska they
use dogs to pull their sleds, while IN
Africa and the Philippines they make
soup out of them. OF course | don
approve of the last course, for | don't
think that is any way to treat friend
One of the best ways dog shows
his fathfulness is as the watchdog
He will watch your children, your
automobile, your carriage and your
house, and if necessary will lay down
his life to protect them. what othel
animal would do that? Cat or horse
yes I've got a picture of them doing
that.
Abel Played With Pup
The dictionary says the dog is a
prehistoric animal. So | wouldn't be
at all surprised if Cain and Abel had
a pup to play with, anyway it tells
about dogs in the Bible. 1t says old
man Lazarus sat down by the gate
land the dogs came and licked his
sores"
guess the dog showed what
noble animal it was in the world war
] read Of two shepherd dogs which II
the course of their time at the from
saved the lives of 1,062 soldiers. One
was wounded twice. the other three
times. These dogs were then IN
yalided home, where they should live
in peace for the rest of their days.

In Holland they use the Great Dane
TO pull the wagon and pillow, while

berian dogs to pull the sledges.

nets. there are some that are no
good for much else, although they
