Of Agriculture has slipped a cog
IN never having issued a bulletin the dog al
though it issued bulletins upon nearly every CON
cevable subject that relates to agriculture and in
addition upon domestic fowls and animals"
There IS nothing in the Congressional Directorys
biography" that tells how Mr. Hawes comes to
be so much interested in the dOg-except that he
IS evidently an all-around man and therefore just
naturally loves good dog 1t appears that he Is
practicing lawyer He is member Of the Sons OF
the American Revolution Sons of Confederate Vet
erans and American Legion He enlisted In the
army served in the military intelligence depart
ment, psychologist branch and was asst gned to the
general staff at Washington; later to the United
States embassy at Madrid: was retired in June
1919, with rank Of major. He was president Of the
St Louis police board for five years and was in
the state legislature in 1917. He is prominently
identified with the state good roads movement
He has been prominent in national politics since
1904 and Is "a member OF all leading social civic
and business organizations Of St Louis" The
Directory says nothing about his having a wife
Or course Mr.. Hawes Is from Missouri and love
for good dog is part Of the makeup of every
man In the "ShOw Me- state. You remember SEN
ator VESTS address to the jury-that American dog
classic. Well, Senator Vest was from Missouri
And you remember Champ Clarks campaign for
the presidential nomination and his "houn' dawg"
why, Mr. Hawes himself says there must be
100000 dogs in Missouri
Reading between the lines of Mr.. Hawes
'Viiutu ieiLhIhS On HI II S
safe guess that he is a breeder of fine dogs that
he exhibits at dog shows and has blue ribbons
10 show that he loves a hunting dog and has
bagged many quail over pointer and setter; that
he doesn't hate collie Irish terrier that
he can enjoy with the best greyhound beagle
coursing match that he rides to hounds; that he
understands a dog only a dog1over can, and
that he's no slouch of trainer himself.
As to the pictures herewith. you will note that
only two of the dogs given names regard the
others types Jackie is owned by W. f. Mackey
and family of Atlanta, Ga. He is local hero.
The Mackey home caught fire when all the family
was away. Jackie, guard, fought the fire tooth
and toenail till the fremen came. The picture
shows him convalescent
Stubby ] know personally He is valued mem
Der of a family that has a summer cabin in the
Colorado Rockies, right at the foot Of Longs peak
He's Stubby because automobile ran over the
tip of his tail when he pup. He's probably
not a blue-ribbon COLLIE but he's a gentleman and
q good fellow, with 100 per cent disposition that
any human might well envy.
Unfortunately there is not room here for all
that Mr.. Hawes has to say about the dog Amono
other things he says that it is estimated there
are over 100000 dogs in Missouri and 1000 OCO in
the United States. Each state has legislation af
fecting the dog; every city of 5000 people has
some municipal regulation. A valuation Of on,y
hve dollars on each dog would give a national in
Sestment of S35OOO,OOO. Every large CITY has an
annual dog show. There are more than II yeeLI,,
and monthly publications devoted to Tho dog
1here are at least ten large factories producno
