not sated, you could not do better
today than drive over to the Balti-
more County Kennel Club show at

large, and the program is always
smoothly run OF. Headquarters for
food Is under the direction Of our

The. tale of how an orphaned
cocker spaniel was raised thanks
to the local telephone company
comes from a small kennel farther
north. The pups owner had the
patience for frequent feelings dur
ing the night. but she was alone in
her house, and she knew she was q
heavy sleeper. She put the problem
up to the girls Of the little towns
exchange. Every two hours at first,
and then every four, the phone rang
until 1t was answered, and the pups
owner slept unworried between calls.
The girls did not permit her simply
to answer and hang up. When she
had fed the baby, she had to report
the fact to Central" and then
could go back to bed and to sleep
until time for the next feeding. The
bottle-fed baby throve, and all con-
cerned missed the regular calls when
the need for them ceased.
