Dog Discovered in
Woods Becomes
Good Watchman
By CATHERINE WALTER, II
Germantown (Md.) School.

NCAhohto~h NAsAo'i SSAooA.
One day last summer my sister
and decided to take walk through
the woods. We hadn't gone far
when we heard a peculiar noise that
gradually grew louder.
BY this time we had walked some
distance and found tree stump for
a resting place. While we we're sit
ting there, listening attentively, we
learned the noise was made by q
puppy. Being so anxious to find it.,
we forgot about being tired and
started hunting.
Feeling something under my feet,
I looked down and discovered the
little dog. Before I knew 1t he was
in my arms. I asked my sister if
I could claim him. She told me I
could If I took good care of him. I
promised that would.
That was the happiest day of my
life. I named the puppy Buddy. He
is brown and white, very pretty, and
has become q good watch dog.

Oh, it happens to every girl in the
world,
Twill happen to me and to you;
You just have to have q long even
ing dress,
And want 1t to be pink or blue:
AL covered with lace and with
rufnes,
Soft velvet and taf1eta, too;
You argue and plead with your
mother,
"Oh, really I need 1t, do."
Oh, you sit and you grievs and get
pouty, ..
And then on your bed you plop
down,
And say that If you go without one,
Why, you'll be the talk Of the town.
Oh, you jump and you scream when
you get one,
And you're 80 afraid twill get
torn;
And then when you get to the party,
Well, yours Is the only one worn.

Says kennewick People
Cooperate Consistently

Friends, both personal and those
with whom I have been connected
in a business way, have been one of
my greatest sources of Joy while in
Kennewick,'' says Mr.. G. L. Hodge,
ex-manager of the Kennewick Auto
Co., who is leaving soon to open a
new branch at Hermiston for Mr..
Fred Huber, owner.
Mr.. Hodge went on to express his
appreciation for the wonderful CO.
operation which he has received
from his fellow businessmen as we'll
as the general public of Kennewick.
AFTER ALL" said Mr. Hodge, new
business means increased payrolls
and increased payrolls mean a grow
ing city"
In leaving Kennewick, MIR. Hodge
expressed his regrets and empha-
sized the fact that he was leaving
this city, only to better himself in
monetary way, even though he felt
a bit selfish in doing so.
The new HermiSton branch is the
third Chevrolet leadership which
Fred Huber has in operation and by
taking this step he shows his faith
in the future development of this
territory. Since the Hermiston dis
trict is immediately adjacent to
that of Kennewick, Mr. Hodge feels
that even though his headquarters
will not be here, he will be near
enough to benefit by the advance
ment Of Kennewick and hopes that
this will be another means of weld
ing this portion of the Columbia
River basin into a more solid union,
which will be beneficial to all.
