rlous reflection upon his ancestry.
He was mascot Of a German naval vessel
operating in the English Channel But one day
a British destroyer steamed out of the morn
ing fog and scared the daylights out Of that
Axis raider Blue Jackets jumped TO their
guns and shells crashed into the fleeing
enemy There was little reply % the British
fire and a few minutes found the Axis vessel
out OF control and she began TO sink by tho
head
Adolph. making for a boat, was kicked
overheard by one Of his masters. But the
yelping scrap Of fur was seen and a kinaiy
sailor scooped him out of the water and
dropped him aboard the destroyer.
But Adolph was shell-shocked and covered
whining, in the galley whenever shells came
near He was taken ashore and cared for with
kindness that must have been a shock TO tlis
Nazi bred heart. Then he was taken 10 the
Blue Cross kennels and transferred from a
terrified cur TO a self-respecting dog again.
He is now the pet Of an English household.
At the top Of this page is the picture Of
Fox" The French call all terriers Fox it
seems. He too was once a German. But
notice how proudly he now wears the hat and
scarlet pompom of the Fighting French Navy
as he squats on the bridge of a Fighting
French submarine.
Fox's tale is like the rest. He was aboard
a large German cargo vessel, but he didn't
like it; the rats We're half starved; he hated
ersazt food and disliked his masters boots.
So when there was lot Of gunfire and the
ship started zigzaggng Fox made himself
comfortable and hoped for the best.
The best was a Fighting French torpedo
which destroyed the ship and deposited Fox

nearby and he managed to Chamber aboard.
ITEMS, a stowaway," remarked the conf
mandant Arrest him.
Below Fox found food and the narrow bunk
OF the radio man. And when the sub returned
10 port Fox refused TO move. So he was ma
turalized and now serves, as you can see, as
lookout for the Fighting French. He barks
madly at the sight of an enemy ship and licks
all hands when that enemy meets its just
deserts.
one Of the strangest Of animal prisoners Of
war was captured by the Canadian corvette
Hepatica.
After destroying an enemy ship in mid
Atlantic the Hepatca sighted a strange but

Strawberries
Popularity
Increased

Everbearing strawberries have in
creased in popularity from year to
year, and quite few everbearing
varieties are now obtainable.
Strawberries are a welcome ad-
dition to the. small-fruit section of
your victory garden, and the ever
bearing varieties especially so.
1t is possible to set plants in
early spring and harvest crop in
the fall. Any good soil that will
grow spring berries or ordinary veg
table crops Is also suitable for
everbearing strawberries. Everbear-
ing strawberries do need ample
moisture for plant growth, fruit pro-
duction, and utilization Of plant
food applied, so it is wise to choose
a soil with good water-holding ca
pacity.
Get good plants; set them early.
while the soil is cool and moist;
cultivate regularly; and remove the
blossoms until July. to enable the
plant to build up strength for berry
production in fall. For best yield of
fruit, remove most of the runners.
1t has been found that summer
mulching increases the yield little
or none, but it does keep down
weeds, and keeps the berries clean.
With everbearing strawberries,
the continual fruiting is con-
slant drain on the resources and
strength of the plant, and it is i'm
portant that the plants be fed prop
erly. Apply food when the bed is
prepared for the plants and rake
lightly into the soil. Feed again
at four to six-week intervals. In
these later feelings, apply the plant
food on both sides of the row but
away from the roots. In making
later applications, be sure the foli-
age is dry when food is applied, and
brush off any that lodges on the
leaves. Cultivate often to conserve
moisture.
Now as to choice of varieties: No
everbearer bears every day from
midsummer to cold weather. Here
are good and bad points Of various
everbearing varieties, and approx
mate periods when they bear most
heavily:
Gem" is productive about August
and early September. Plants are
not as rugged as mastodon. Need
cool wet weather to get good start,
but once started gem is one of the
best of the everbearing varieties
for the middle States and the South.
"Mastodon" reach their peak bear
ing period about late September;
mastodon is also one Of the best
spring bearers among the ever
bearers, being a midseason variety
for the regular crop.
Green mountain" bears best late
in the season, about late Septem-
ber and early October. 1t Is also
a good spring bearer, a late variety
for the regular crop. As you might
surmise from the description, it likes
cool weather.
"Wayzata" reaches the peak Of its
bearing period in late September.
It is the best tasting of all the ever
bearers. Is at its best in the North
ern States. Wayzata is a heavy
feeder, so feed literally.
Champion" was the first good
everbearer. Fruit Is very sweet and
plants productive, but berries are
small. One of the best varieties
for the South. Not as strong a
grower as mastodon and green
mountain, therefore not especially
suited to the North.

Garden Tasks
Be Done
In Spring

Be on the lookout for the eggs
and cocoons of harmful insects and
destroy them. Take down, clean
and repair bird houses, and put
them, and also new ones, in place so
they will be ready for their new
tenants.
Make any necessary repairs to
garden fences, lattices. trellises and
garden furniture A fresh coat of
paint should be given before vines
begin their growth.
Uncover protected shrubs. borders
and bulb beds gradually. Exposing
the plants too suddenly to the
weather may be fatal to some. Be
sure at this time to set in place any
labels or markers which have been
heaved out by winter frosts. Press
down firmly any roots which have
been disturbed.
Although in some sections of the
country the garden may be spaded
at this time, be sure that the soil
is neither too wet nor too dry. II
a handful squeezed together forms
a ball that cannot be easily crum-
bled, it is still too wet to work. The
best time to do the digging is when
it is just moist enough to be easily
turned and broken up finely. Do
not wait until dry clods form. Spade
a small section at time and rake
this thoroughly to make the soil
friable and help preserve all pos
sible moisture.
Remember that all dormant
spraying should be done before
growth starts. Be sure when ap-
plying any particular spray to fol-
low the manufacturers directions
carefully. These have been worked
out by experts, and will be sure to
give the best results.
