(TO BE CONTINUED.)
LONDON HAS DOG CEMETERY
Founded Nearly Twenty Years Ago
Ground Set Off is Now Over
Crowded With "GraVes."

Comparatively few of London's WIS.,
itors-or inhabitants either, for that
matter-find their way to the dogs
cemetery in Hyde park, says cor
respondent. Situated in corner of
the park it is so shut in by trees and
thick hedges that the ordinary passers-
by would hardly notice it, but 1t is
well worth a visit. Nearly 20 years
ago the favorite dog of an old gentle
man living near the Victoria gate
died. His master obtained permis-
sion to bury his canine friend in the
garden belonging to the cottage oc-
cupied by the gatekeeper, and SO the
dogs cemetery was started. Soon
there were other applications from
people who wanted to find quiet rest.
ing-pIace for their pets, and now the
cemetery is so crowded that more
ground will have to be taken or the
cemetery closed, and dogs funerals
things of the past. Not being reserved
solely for dogs, cats and even one
monkey are buried there. The GENE
terry is neatly and carefully kept. The
graves are marked by miniature head
stones, while on many, flowers are
planted, and some are kept constantly
bright with fresh %reaths. Some of
the epitaphs are curious, while many
are pathetic, and nearly all express
a hope of meeting in some futuT
world.

ANIMALS TALK.

''What What is this hear?" asked
Larry, the monkey.
"They say" Snookums, the monkey
answered, that we cannot talk
whatever do they mean by that?"
asked Larry. "Have they lost their
wits or their brains? or what? Just
let our keeper hear that and he will
be mad. Just let him hear it.
Il don't want to make him mad, Of
course, but he will be glad of the
chance to tell people how wrong they
are.
HE cannot bear to have untrue
things said about US. He simply can
not bear it, and then he tells the
real truth about us and is delighted to
have the opportunity to do so.
81 suppose when you say that they
say we cannot talk you mean that
people say so?"
THAT is what 1 mean," said Shook
ums.
"WelI, well, WE'LL" said Larry, that
is too ridiculous!
81 do hope that our keeper has the
chance to tell those people differ
emily.
'Of course it is true we do not
speak the language people speak. We
have our own way of talking, but that
doesn't mean that we don't talk
at is just as absurd, l think, for
people to say that of animals as it
would be for the animals to tell Amer
lean people that they can't talk be-

sight of; and for the benefit of those
contemplating the establishment of CO.
operative motortruck associations the
following points should receive care
full consideration
Factors to Be Considered.
careful survey should be made to
determine the adequacy of present
transportation facilities, the reason
ableness of the rates charged. the ap-
proximate daily tonnage available for
movement in each direction, the char
acter of the roads over which the
trucks must be operated, and the gen.
eral sentiment of the community to-
ward such an association. The dis
tance from market should not be more
than 40 miles, and there should be
sufficient volume of produce to war
rant reasonably constant operation Of
the trucks throughout the year.
1t having been concluded that the
cooperative enterprise will be a de-
cided advantage, only men who have
demonstrated their business ability in
handling their private affairs and who
members of the community should be
selected as directors The secretary
should be a man with energy, tact,
| business ability, and a high apprecia-
ton of the farmers interests. The
capitalization of the association should
be large enough to permit the issuance
| of enough stock to pay for the trucks
| in cash, to assure a sufficient amount
| of cash on hand as working capital,
and to have enough unissued stock to
provide for future sound extension of
the business, as well as a depreciation
fund to replace worn-out equipment.
Make Service the Watchword.
The trucks should be selected only
after a thorough and unbiased consid-
GRAFTON of the various makes. Records
| of performance. of cost Of operation
and maintenance, furnished by actual
| operators of trucks rather than by
agents of truck manufacturers, should
be carefully considered in the light Of
| present and prospective needs of the
association
In employing operators merit should
be the sole consideration. Rates should
be based on careful analysis of COM
plete, adequate and accurate informa-
ton regarding costs. Accounting
methods should be simple but sufti-
ciently comprehensive to show the ex-
act financial status of the association
at all times.
In determining matters of policy the
interests of the members as a whole
rather than as individuals must be
considered. Service must be the
watchwOrd. And to make the assOcia-
ton a real success, each member must
feel that it is his association.

STATE BUREAUS GET

Connected With Washington Of.
flee by Telegraph.
At Each Point State Officials Are Able
to "Listen In" on Market News
Messages Being Transmitted
to the Offices.

Four state marketing, bureaus are
now connected with the Washington
office of the bureau of markets and
crop estimates, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, by telegraph wire.
"DropS" from the Federal leased-Wire
system exteid into the state bureau
offices at Trenton, n. j.; Lancaster and
Harrisburg, Pa; Madison, Wis, and
Lincoln, Neh, and at each point the
state officials are able to listen in on
the market news messages being sent
to and from the various branch offices
of the federal bureau. Such market
information as is of interest to the
farmers, dea lrs and consumers of the
four states is copied and given in
tensive distribution by the state Off
cials.
In most cases distribution of the
market news is done by means of
special news releases to the daily and
weekly newspapers and the farm jour
nal press. Ii one instance the market
information is distributed by means
of mimeOgraph reports mailed di-
rect to farmers and other agricultural
interests. III Pennsylvania the work
of distribution is facilitated by eight
reporters located in important market
Centers, who Implement the national

The marked increased appreciation
Of the value Of agricultural market

in a large measure due to the pro.

ROOTS LEFT OUT ALL WINTER
AS Early in Spring as Parsnips and
Satisfy Can Be Handled, Carefully
Dig and Reset Roots.

Parsnips and satisfy are hardy, and
the roots may be safely left in place
through the winter. AS early in the
spring as they can be handled, and be-
fore they start into growth, experts of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture advise, the roots should be
dug, carefully sorted, and the select
ed ones Immediately reset from three
to five feet apart. They will start
into growth at once, and generally will
produce a good crop of seed. The
parsnip can be safely left in place
until the seed crop is fully ripe, when
it can be cut and stored under shell
ter till dry. The heads of satisfy open
out as they ripen, and unless gathered,
the seed will be blown away. 1t is
necessary, therefore, to gather the
opening heads about noon of every
sunny day, and spread them in an airy
place until dry, when the seed can be
rubbed out, winnowed and stored.

He Wasn't a comnetitor.

He was the homeliest Gyrene in the
corps, and naturally he was very mod
est about it. Therefore when he
dropped in at the festival out in Guam,
he sat quietly in one corner and
watched the entertainment without
taking an active part in it.
There was a pie-eating contest, a
rattle, and some boxing bouts. Finally
came the big event of the evening
when a prize was to be given to the
ugliest marine who entered the COM
petition.
The judge gave one sweeping glance
around the room and his eye focused
on the far-from-beautiful Gyrene, who
sat over in the corner. One look was
enough. He walked over and handed
him the prize.
The hOmely Gyrene wanted to be
fair. you'll have to hand this to
some other guy" he said. Il wasn't
playing. The Leatherneck.

cause they don't speak like all the
other people in the world, or to tell
the French people they can't talk be-
cause there are people who speak
quite differently from them.
"Now we all have our own ways of
talking. We don't use the words peo-
pie use, but we can talk.
"When we are unhappy we make

"When we are frightened we have

pleased we have still others. When
we are playing we have others again.
and so have all the animals. The
bears have different kinds of growls
for different things they mean to-
say.
''The deer can talk, oh so well
"The Chimpanzees and the Orang-
utans are great takers and they
know a lot, too. Don't people know
that? Haven't they ever seen and

talking?
"Then if they haven't, I just wish
they would! And 1 wish they'd come

keeper He understands me.
He knows what 1 want and why I
want it, and when I want it. He
knows whether 1 feel well or sick. He
understands me perfectly, and l un-

Dogs talk, as everyone surely

talks. He told the keeper how pleased
he was the other day when the keeper
rubbed his back through the side of
the cage.
HE actually purred like a pussy
cat!
And the Wolves! How they talk
whether they are here in the zoo or
whether they are free!
1.-THE Bears all talk. And the Rab-
bits talk. Their humping sounds are
words. oh yes, indeed.
Mother Rabbit thumps the ground
when danger is near, instead of say
ing Danger as people do, Rabbits
thump their word Danger
Beavers talk. Prairie Dogs talk,
and one of them always guards when
| the rest are playing above ground and
the one who is guarding certainly
knows how to say Danger when dan
| ger is near
"The Striped Chipmunk talks, too.
He can tell you that he is happy liv-
ing about the rocky ground where he
makes his home. He knows how to
warn of danger, and he talks of the
| things he likes to eat.
Dear me, all animals talk! OF
course they do! And every sound they
make means something Our talks
must be translated into the language
of people if they're to understand
what we're saying, but if they study
us and our talk they'll be able to
translate what we have to say.
I'm sure of that, for the keeper
! can do so. All, here comes my keep
er now to have a real talk with me !''
"And with me, too," said Snookums,
| with a happy little squeak.
