But if such is not the case, if
you feel that you simply cannot
stand that rough dog in the city,
if you feel ne is a nuisance and a
pest. where is he now? Do you
know, and if not, why not? Did
you acquire an innocent and de-
fenselesS animal to serve merely
as an animated toy for month or
two and then abandon it with no
more compunction than you woulo
a toy?
There are only two humane ways
to dispose of a dog that no longer
is wanted or cannot be kept any
longer. One way is to give or sell
the dog to person who really wants
him, and to make sure that that
person wants him enough to pro-
vide good home and adequate
care for him. Cynical as it NAV
seem. the best way to make sure of
that. is by touching his pocketbook
nerve.
Generally, the person who is
willing to pay for dog, par
ticularly if it means some sac
rifice, is the person who will
give it a good home.
The only other humane way is
to see personally that the dog in
question is put to Sleep in as
humane a way as has been de-
vised A veterinarian or one of the
animal rescue agencies is equipped
to do this and will do it at very
little or no fee.

What perhaps will strike the eye

for their big sisters. One local racer

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

~>SA~~~s
Peter Rabbit could hardly wait
for the coming of the Black Shadows
and just as soon as they had crept
out over the Green Meadows he
started for the Big River. He knew
where to go. He knew that Honker
and his friends would remain out
In the middle of the Big River until
the Black Shadows had made it
quite safe for them to swim in. He
reached the bank of the Big River
just as sweet Mistress Moon was
beginning to throw her silvery light
over the Great World. At this point
there was a sandy bar in the Big
River, and right where this sandy
bar started out from the bank, Peter
squatted.
It seemed to him that he had sat
there half the night, but really it
was only a short time before he
heard low signal out in the Black
Shadows which covered the middle
of the Big River. 1t was the voice
Of Honker. Then Peter saw little
silvery lines moving on the water
and presently a dozen great shapes
appeared in the moonlight. Slowly
they drew near, Honker in the lead.
They were picture of perfect cau-
ton.
When they reached the sandy bar
they remained quiet for some time,
looking and listening. Then, sure
that all was safe, Honker gave q
low signal, and at once a low, con-
tented gabbling began as the birds
relaxed their watchfulness and came
out on the sandy bar. Honker him
self came ashore close to where
Peter was sitting.
"Oh, Honker!" cried Peter. I'm
10 glad you're back here safe and
sound"

To accept his lowy BIRTH therefore deped everywhere

As long Nazism any ism is allowed to go,
Unhindered its ruthless ways, causing endless

a balloon and was standing there
and admiring it. One of the promi-
nent Profs stepped up to me and
said, "Hello, Helen" and then de-
iberately pinched by balloon and
laughed. 1 looked at him and in
wardly thought him exceedingly
rude. When he saw how taken

around and, sure enough, l saw the
game is to try and break as many

In MemOriam

In fond memory of our dear
mother, Mary M. Judy, who passed
away January a, 1888.
We do not forget her, we loved her
too dearly,
For her memory to fade from
our lives like dream;
Our lips need not speak when our
hearts mourn sincerely,
For grief often dwells where it
seldom is seen.
In our home she is fondly remem-
bered,
Sweet memories cling to her
name;
Those who loved her in life sin
cerely,
Still love her in death just the
same.
Sadly missed.

Howdy folks:
Well, after a week of whirling
round in Baltimore, Philadelphia
and other points East, it feels
kinda good to be back in the Twin
Cities. I'm sorry, folks, that l
didn't send you my copy as 1 prom
Used, but, honestly, was too busy
and anyway l know you enjoyed
Cecil Newman's splendid pinch
hitting. Thanks loads, C. E. Well,
l know you want to know how
things are in the East. First of
all, the weather in the East (Balti-
more) was the direct opposite of
ours. 1t was between 35 or 40 de-
grees above zero during my whole
visit. And the rain-well, it was
raining every other day it seemed
to me. The grass in some parts
was very green and the young
folks were roller-skating all over
the streets, with no heavy coats on.
When Sal arrived in town with
all her fur boots, fur coat, ETC., she
felt like a sap and stood there
dumb-fOunded. 1t was like April is
in the Twin Cities. And talk about
parties, those folks really believe
in blOw-Outs round Christmas time.
Sal attended so many parties that
she doesn't feel like SEEM another
one for quite a while. Since so
many of my readers have asked me
to write up one of the parties, /
will. This particular one was the
annual Yuletide prom given by the
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity in Bal
timOre. Folks, l mean it was too
mellow and the music which was
played by the International Orches-
ira was the best ever. The group
present were logged on down (but,
truthfully, the women didn't look
any lOvelier than our own when
dressed at our parties): 1t was
very select, but / noticed when the
orchestra played the Flat Foot
FlOOgie" some of the most reserved
of the professors and teachers just
had to let loose, and got up and
danced to it. You know the Flat
Foot FlOOgie" is a very popular
Eastern dance and no one cared or
criticized when they gave way to
the abandon of the dance. Some of
the prominent folks present were
Mr.. and Mrs. George Mitchell-Mr.
Mitchell is a well known high
school professor in Baltimore. Mrs.
Mitchell was lovely in white taffeta
with gold accessories noticed
DR.. Mason Hawkins, one of the well
known professors at Morgan Col
lege, round there doing the Lam
beth Walk and whatnOt. Of
course, you find cOrOners every
where, and BaltimOre's Coroner at
Large and his wife were there, the
DIR. Geo. Aliens. Mrs. Allen was
gOwned in white crepe with black
accessories. DIR. Bernard Harris,
Superintendent of PrOvident HOspi-
tai, was among the nOtables. Mrs.
Harris was gOwned in black taffe-
Ia trimmed in red velvet. .. You
should have seen Prof. Luther Nit
chell, who was really having a too
fine time. Mr.. Mitchell is one of
BaltimOre's well known high school
teachersTan also one of the prOmi-
nent Organists. (YOu know that he
played for Clarence and Juanita
Mitchell's wedding last falL) =.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Lewis
seemed to be having the time of
their lives. (Mr. Lewis is the head
of the BALTIC. Urban League.) .
