Every dog has his day. 1t has been
said. but when the wheels of the HUI
name Education Society Of Washing
ton are set in motion every domestic
animal in the District that lacks a
good home will have days that in the
past were not even part OF their
dreams. They will romp and play
over $50 acres of ground out In Mary
land; will be doctored and cared for
and washed and fed, all because they
are dumb animals and, in the opinion
OF many Washington humanitarIans.
deserve the same treatment as the
human being.
Sponsored by Mrs. Duncan U.
and Miss Edna NJ. Patton, the plan
to buy a farm for homeless animals
was formally launched at q meeting
of the society Wednesday night at
Mrs. Fletcher's home. 1455 Massa-
chusetts avenue. The idea had been
several years. but obstacles always
appeared in the way at the moment
they attempted to place the plan on
the road to realization. The pro-
posed home and farm was unanimous
ly approved and a plan of action was
Immediately drawn up.
Proposed Site for Home.
The site that. in the minds of the
Humane Education Society, appears
ideal is located about fifteen miles
from Washington on the Brookville
pike near Norbeck. Md. AS soon as
sufficient funds can be gathered to

property will be taken over to the

animals comfortably, but the society

Billy Whiskers
By Frances Trego Montgomery.

"Yes, it all sounds all right but the easy part" said Tom in answer to Jim's plan for helping the farmer and his wife and then stealing the animals.
 There you go again, croakin' like a sick buH-frog. If you give another croak, I'll punch your head!" 1 After this remark, neither said any thing for some time, but they both crawled out from behind the bushes and began to walk toward the farm house.
 ''I'1 tell you what, Jim, if we are goin to steal them animals, guess we'd better not show our phizes around there beforehand, or when the
 animals disappear they will suspect us right away and set the police on uS.''
 Guess you're right, Tom. Tell
 you what let's do then. Creep up near the hdhse, hide and wait until the farmers family have all gone to
 bed and then break into the cellar ana eat our fill of the cold >victuals that are sure to be on the cellar shelves"
 Stea lthily the kidnappers crept up near the house and hid under a lilac bush, from which place they could see all that went on in the house. They saw the farmer. his wife, son
 
 table of steaming hot things, which made their mouths water to behold, for it had been many days since they had had hot meal. Hope they will leave some of the pork pie and mea1y potatoes for us, said Tom, after watching the farm CTS son pass his plate for second helping.
 "So do l." replied Sam. ''I do hope the farmer chokes if he drinks an other cup of that steaming coffee. The very smell of it is setting me crazy!"
 Well, at last the old fat lady is through, and I am glad sine is, for 1 she has eaten two sices of pie, and 1 there is only one slice for you and 1 me to divide between us" l "Goodness gracious! If the daugh 1 ter isn't goin' to eat that!' said 1 Jim.
 1 At last they are through said 1 Tom with 8 sigh of relief. See her l scrape all the leavin's into one place 1 for the dog and cat" 1 Gee, what a waste of victua1s.' l declared Jim. '"ro feed all that good l mashed potatoes and gravy to an old t mangy dog and a. yawling cat'' l "Here, Shep! Here, shep! Here. 1 Shep!' called the farmers wife, as l she stood in the doorway with a I herd dog. She called and called, but l no Shep appeared, and at last she set the plate down, saying as she did so: Well, he can go without his l supper if he doesn't care to come and get iti I haven't time to stand here 1 holding his plate, waiting for him to ! comet"
 She put the plate on the ground at the foot of the steps and went into | the kitchen.
 The door was barely shut when the
 kidnappers tumbled over each other
 in their eagerness to reach the food
 They were so hungry that even l though the meat, vegetables and po- tatoes were all mixed together they
 did not mind, but pitched in and ate
 with their fingers all there was on l the plate even to taking a piece of l bread and rubbing it around the
 plate until it looked if it had been l licked.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-03-25

Grigshy was born in Jackson, Ky, March 24, 1902. While he was still a boy. however, his folks moved to Oklahoma, settling at Sapulpa- He won considerable fame pitching for amateur and serni-pro teams around Oklahoma and then was grabbed up by the Sapulpa c1ug in n1idseason last year.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-03-25

Grigsby started out to be big league pitcher, but his terrific hitting caused the boss of the Sapulpa Southwestern league club to switch him to the outfie1d. And it may be that the change will give him an op- portunity to stick with the Tanks at least until the return of Bob Meusel and Babe Ruth to good standing.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-03-25

The fact that the Tank scouts be- Iieve that a lead of his experience warrants a big league tryout would indicate that he has the nadngE.
