agree to a Z to 5 ratio-seven
Democrats and FIVE Republicans

with a 20-foot roadway and five.
foot wide sidewalk. Unfinished
lumber; stained to avoid a new
look, would be used.
The flooring would be of creo-
sote-treated Douglas fir, and walls
would be of salt-treated Eastern
pine. Present supporting piers and
abutments would be used insofar
as possible. Where necessary,
these would be enlarged with con-
crete and faced with the original
stone to maintain the picturesque
original appearance. The "four-

would be followed.
The roof would be of weather

DHERE is no more appealing pic
ture than that of boy or girl
with dog; and nothing more
touching than fine understand
ing between them. Such relationships
don't lust grow, to create happy
partnership on both sides, they must
be earned.
When you buy a pet for your child,
you are doing more than purchasing
cute puppy. You are really making
an investment. Whether it's a sound or
doubtful one is up to you. We think of a
dog as being an amusing addition to
the family, new playfellow, perhaps
a watchdog; but he can be much more
than that. He can be the instrument
through which the qualities of unselfsh-
ness, consideration and a sense of re-
sponsibility will first be developed in
the young child.
And your child will come to realize
that this gift is very different and much
more precious than bicycle or pair
of skates.
All very young creatures are uncon-
sciously cruel A puppy worries
crippled mouse, a child pulls puppy's
tail. Neither has any conception of pain
which he does not personally expert
ence. But in the proper care of pet,
the child will learn that Others feel
pain, just as he does, and that only
bully imposes his strength on those
more helpless than himself. Here is the
first lesson to be taught the good
old golden rule.
The very helplessness of young
puppy and its dependence upon its
small owner should instill sense of
responsibility in the child. Teach your
child to take care of his dog. Make him
realize that in exchange for the love and
affection which the dog will shower
upon him, he must give his pet the care
and consideration which it merits.
If your boy wants "one-man" dog,
he must do his share to deserve those
yelps of delight and frantic tail-wagging
which greet his approach.
A little girl, whose portrait | did
with her pet Scotty, always fed the dog
herself; and it was interesting to see
her, the moment the sitting was fin
ished, give the puppy his midday meal
before she had her own lunch. Another
child, however, had not learned this
lesson of responsibility. She let the
cook feed her dog, until told her one
day that the dog would think the cook
was his mistress, and like her best!
That did the trick. After that she saw
to it that no one fed the dog but herself.

Boy Meets Dog

Children often must feel that they
are the only creatures in the world who
are disciplined; but if your child teaches
his dog good manners and how to be-
have. the child will learn that every
creature living in the civilized world is
subject to restraint and must exercise
control on occasions.
knew little boy who hated to go
to bed on time His father taught him
that the new puppy needed plenty of
rest; and in the evening the child took
the little dog to his sleeping basket.
before he himself went to bed. Time
for bed" was much less obnoxious
phrase after that.
Try to match the proposed pet to
your child's temperament and to the
place you live. A small dog requiring
but little exercise can be happy in a
city apartment. A large dog will be
happier in the suburbs.
The excltaDle child may be happier
with a sober, more restrained dog such
as the Scotty or cocker. For the rough
and tumble boy, dog that "can take
it,: an Airedale or bull terrier.
Should mixed breed come your way.
you probably will find him delightful
companion. giving you most of the
things you want in dog. Personally.
l prefer pure-bred. As rule, he will
conform to the standard for his breed
both physically and temperamentally,
whereas a dog of doubtful parentage
may develop undesirable traits, or
become very different from the puppy
you introduced into the household.
The first real grief a child experiences
may be through the death of pet. If
you replace the dog with another of the
same breed, similar in appearance, and
train it the same way, it is likely to
take the same place in the child's affec-
tions, and thus this first adjustment to
sorrow can be made easier.
Especially in the case of the "only
child" the coming of pet should help
to establish the child's relationship to
Others in the household. 1t will bring
about healthy consciousness of being
one among many, instead of the only
one. He will appreciate the role of pro-
tector to the weak, and when the puppy
has grown up. there may be time
when the roles will be reversed and the
dog will become the protector.
So if you are anticipating an invest
ment of this sort. l hope it will pay
you dividends in great satisfaction, and
in the knowledge that the dog has
helped you lay the groundwork upon
which the building of character begins.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Wheat prices
sagged fractionally today, rejecting
failure OF export business to expand,
reports of a rather dull flour trade
and drop in Liverpool prices.
The British market was under the
pressure Of heavy selling Of Australian
wheat, large quantities Of which were
reported to have been worked to the
United Kingdom recently.
Chicago wheat, after early slight
gains, declined a cent a bushel to p53s
for May and 1914 for July and at
noon prices were only slightly higher
than these early lows. At noon VIM
nipeg prices were off 1A-l7s.
Despite this foreign weakness, SELL
ing here was only moderate in volume,
and the market displayed some re-
cuperative power at times. Mills
were credited with small purchases.
Broomhall said that although foreign
demand for American wheat was quiet,
it is believed continued buying will
prevail throughout the season.
