DOG "SAVES FOR A
RAINY DAY"

A dog which needs the advice
often given to human beings, Ito
save for rainy day. is Jigger,
Doberman pinscher owned by
Roy Boswell who lives near Green
wich, Conn. Four years ago Bos-
we'll instituted the practice of go
ing away for the summer months
and leaving the dog in the care of
neighbor during his absence
Boswell paid his neighbor GER
tain sum of money each week as
board for the dog.
Last year and again this June,
as preparatory packing and other
signs indicated that Boswell was
getting ready to leave for the sum-
mer, the dog was noticed boarding
behind the garage unpicked bones
and all scraps of food he could
lay his jaws on. The day before
he was to leave this year, Boswell
became suspicious of the reason
for his dogs strange actions. A
talk with other neighbors con-
firmed Boswell's suspicious. The
man he had been leaving his dog
with didn't feed his pet properly
while he was away. He had neg
lected the dog and appropriated
for his own use the money given
him for the dogs care. This sum-
mer the dog is in boarding ken
mel and has no use for his boarded
| food

WAVES HELP KEEP
FLEET IN BATTLE

WASHINGTON, July 21.-(RN
Waves are doing large share of
keeping the fleet geared to defeat
japan, the navy said today.

pares to CELEBRATE its third ami
verSary July 80, some officers of
the regular navy even express
Observation-Disclosures a small nu-
cleus of their feminine contingent
will be retained in peacetime.
For example, some say, the work
done by Wave medical specialists
means that hospitalized naval per-
sonnet ashore get trained care
while the navy can sent its best
male medical corpsmen to sea with
the ships.
The almost $4,000 members Of
the waves have been utilized to
help meet expansion requirements
OF the war. Hundreds of the navy
Womena re performing highly spe-
cialized tasks previously reserved
for men.
Some naval shore establishments
freely admit they could not have
accomplished necessary wartime
expansion without the waves.
Oout at the naval research lab
oratories in nearby Virginia, in the
Photo Science Laboratory and in
the Bureau of Ships scores of wav
are working on scientific expert
ments, engineering and procure.
ment problems, electronics and
munitions-much of it very secret
stuff.
One whose highly important work
can be told is 1t. Gg) Dorothy M.
Molnar of Dunnellson, Fla, who
heads laboratory group scienti-
fically seeking antidotes for tropi-
cal deterioration of war material.
In naval aviation, thousands OF
waves help train navy pilots, ma
vigators, gunners. About 80 wave
officers are qualified to be navi.
gators in naval planes, which the
navy says is unique in the mill
tary service history of women.
Waves are trained and assigned
to almost every type of naval avia
ton shore job, from parachute rig
ging to radio-rada administration
After three years the navy seems
willing to say it couldn't get along
without its women's reserve, il
wartime at least.

FORMULA FOR DIP

Been asked to repeat formula
for dog dip. Here is it: Dissolve
three. pounds of sulphur ana one
pound of green soap in a gallon OF
boiling water. After the mixture
has been thoroughly dissolved,
add two quarts of kerosene. Then
place it in a wooden barrel and
add thirty gallons of water.
This dip may be used frequently
to kill such external parasites as
fleas, lice, or ticks. 1 have also
found it beneficial in curing some
of the common canine skin all
ments prevalent in hot weather.
If kept covered, this mixture may
be used time and time again, al
though at times you may have to
add quart or so of water to take
care of a slight evaporation.

out of court. Had it reached the
halls of justice undoubtedly the
dogs owner would have received
a verdict in his favor because
time and time again tae courts
have decided that a dog is prop
erty. If your dog is killed by an
auto the chances are, if the own
er carries insurance, that you can
collect sum equal to the value
of your pet.
SOCALLED 100 PER CENT DIET
There are many excellent diets
prescribed for dogs by dog food
manufacturers. A dog will thrive
on many different combinations of
foods. If your dog is getting along
nicely on what you are feeding
him now, don't experiment, though
it is a good idea to vary its diet
occasionally. A dog, like our
selves, gets mighty tired of the
same food day in and day out.
I have what I call my 100 per
cent diet for dogs. 1t consists OF
the following: so per cent of meat
or meat substitutes-(cooked or
raw meat, milk, raw eggs, or
boned fish; Is per cent cereals
shredded wheat, dried bread, dog
biscuits, dry dog meal, etc.; Is
per cent egetables-cooked to-
matoes, b is, cabbage, beans,
spinach, etc.,. These proportions
l have found comprise an entirely
satisfactory general diet for any
dog.

ode LIKE A DOG"

How did the expression Idle like
a dog originate? After little
research I think I have learned
the answer. Less than century
ago it was the custom in Great
Britain and in Europe to put dogs
to death by hanging. From this
cruel almost universal practice
axoset he much-used expression.

Bob was in the infamous death

and ranchers throughout Valley
county, opening date for the seventh
annual Farmers Day series has been
changed from Saturday, Sept. 8, to
Saturday, Sept. Is, it was announced

the change in date will give north
Valley county residents equal oppor-
tunity to participate in the draw
ings.
Farmers Day drawings will con-
tinue for ten Saturdays, with Guern-
seys, registered seed or baby chicks
for spring delivery and other awards
offered at each drawing. Any farmer

Service Men Kissed; Ropes on
Bell Part i'm HinSdale W. Day
BY Courier Correspondent

HINSDALE-The victory celebra-
ton last week did not approach in
size or enthusiasm that staged in
larger towns, but it did have some
unusual twists. For example, it was
the custom in the big cities for
soldiers to kiss every girl they met
and who could blame them?
But, in Hinsdale, parties of young
girls roamed the town in search of
service men and when they found
one, he got thoroughly kissed. Per-
haps that is typical of the girls joy
at the end of the man shortage"
this community has had for some
years.
Following the presidents an
nouncement of victory, celebrating
got under way late but picked up
steam through the evening. Both
on the community fire bell
were worn through from pulling,
with the bell ringing almost con-
stantly from dusk until 2:30 the
next morning. A few cars toured the
streets honking horns, but little
wild hilarity was in evidence.
A victory dance at the Legion hall
completed the celebrating. A VIC
tory day program was planned and
prepared and is awaiting the off
cial end of the war. Churches OBJ
