BY Margaret Fishback.
The wife who wonders how to Eold
Her 1e IVA wandering ,hnu husband should be told
That lowly. well-established link
Twist heart and stomach stili obtains.
And no amount of sex or brains
Or pulchritude is any treat
When what he wants is good red meat.
From Mrs. M. ". c., Washington. ]
I am sending you copy of the
poem, Should You Go First" re-
quested by r. M. M. of Washington.
I heard this poem read by Mr..
A. L. Alexander on his hour of arbi-
tration and mediation IS o'clock
every Sunday night In Station
VOL. He announced that he would
send a copy free to any one writing
for it. SO that is how I obtained it,
imagine Mrs. R. M. M. can still get
copy if she writes to him care of
Station VOL. However, I have
copied it just as it is in my printed
form.
SHOULD YOU GO FIRST.
Should you go first and I remain,
To walk the road alone,
Ill live in memory's garden. dear,
In spring Ill wait for roses red
When fades the lilac blue.
In early fan when brown leaves call
I'll catch glimpse of you.
Should you go first and ! remain
For battles to be fought:
Each thing you've touched along the way
Will be a hallowed spot.
III hear your voice. III see your smile.
-, Though blindly I may, grope.
The memory of your helping hand
VIII buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and remain
To finish with the scroll,
No ngth'ning shadows shall creep in
To make this life seem dron.
We've known so much OF happiness,
And memory is one gift OF God
That death cannot destroy.
sheuld you go frss ana remain
Walk slowly down the path Of death,
For soon III follow you.
I'll want to know each step you take
That l may walk the same
For some day down that lonely road
You'll hear me call your name.

COLLIE PUPPY.
From Mrs. II. B. S., Leespille, La.j

Page. Because of the enjoyment
which 1 derive from it, I have triee
to keep The Star trailing me ir
my moves about the country-six ir
the past nine months, and I'm moi
sure we're through yeti
If any kind reader has a wore
of advice to make moving all your
worldly possessions easier, I sf1oult

For Mrs. w. NJ. F., who is con.
cerned about her 6-month-olo
collie: imagine he is drooling be-
cause he is teething. have learned
recently that a great many people
do not know that puppies lose theil
milk teeth just as infants do The
teething starts usually at about -four
months and the permanent teeth
are usually complete by about the
seventh month. Be sure that the
pup is given something hard te
chew on. hard rubber bone or ball
or a smooth bone. The shedding
has pretty much the same cause
He is losing his baby coat and this
will continue until he has his full
coat. I don't know what age that
is In collies. but probably l8 month
to two years
A good daily combing and brush
ing, first against the hair, then with
it. will do much to save your rugs
