when the ushers caught him.
looked around to see four of them
dragging him up the aisle, and it
looked for all the world like Jack"
But let's go back and look for
him." l cried.
"Your father and I did look for
him, son, as soon. as the play was
over" said Mother as the car turned
in the driveway at home. But we
couldn't find him anywhere. l guess
we're just not supposed to have him
back anymore.
But two days later, just as sud-
denly as he had gone, Jack came
home! Freddy was out shoveling
snow off the sidewalk, and Jack
came bounding up the street just
like he'd never been away from
home. Everyone welcomed him
back, and even Dad didn't say
word.
But our pleasure in our dog didn't
last long. About a month later,
Jack was lying on the front porch.
Teddy Long, tot about two who
lived across the street from us, was
playing on the sidewalk in front of
his house. He tOddled toward the
curb, and was climbing down into
the street when Jack leaped to the
center of the street. barking furi-
ously at the youngster. Just then a
car came around the corner. and
struck Jack. Jack wasn't dead, but
nearly all his ribs were broken.
Dad sat up with him through two
long nights, feeding him and nurs-
ing him, but old Jack just couldn't
make it.
Our only consolation was that
Jack had undoubtedly sacrificed his
life to save little Teddy; for the car
could have struck the youngster just
as easily. But this was logic diff
ficult for youngsters to understand.
Freddy cried as though his heart
would break, and guess was
pretty fearful myself.
After waiting so long to get our
dog back, it was pretty tough, hav-
ing to lose him so soon. Things were
so glum around the house that
Mother decided we ought to have
party to cheer things up. But it
was no use . nothing could take
the place of our lost dog. Even
when spring came and Dad took us
on fishing trip. something was
missing.
We were sitting on the porch one
afternoon waiting for Dad to come
home for supper Freddy sighed
and said
"Poor old Jack"
Mother asked, Boys, you're sure
ly not moaning about that dog yet,
are YOU"
Just then Dad swung the car into
the driveway. From alongside the
house, we heard him honk the horn.
Freddy ran to see what he wanted.
Suddenly, he burst around the cor
ner of the house, carrying squirm-
ing puppy in his arms and shouting:
Hey, Nom, look what Daddy
brought home. He's our new dog,
Nom and you know what his
name is, Nom? His name is Jack!"
Nom looked at Dad and smiled,
and I thought I saw just the least
sign of tear in the corner of Dads
eye, as TIE new puppy kissed Freddy
on the nose.

That was the last we saw of Jack
until about a month later. One of
the neighbors said:
"You know, think l saw your
dog this morning over at the Whit
tier school. He was outside watch
ing the children as they came out.
stopped the car and turned around,
but by the time I went back to look
for him, he was gone"
Mother replied that Jack was
probably making the rounds Of the
schools looking for US. We kept
searching and hoping, renewed by
the news that Jack was still alive.
But we didn't have much time to
hunt for him, as I was practicing
every night for a school play. The
night of the plays performance we
almost found Jack again.
During the second act, there was
a lot of commotion near the back of
the auditorium, and several ushers
ran up and down the aisles. 1t was
pretty hard for us to enact the scene
with all that commotion going on in
the auditorium.
On the way home, asked Nom
what the noise was, and she
laughed.

she replied.
"What do you mean, Mom?" I
questioned.

QUESTION:: l have what be-
lieve is rubber tile on my bath
room floor. When washing it I use
a mild soap and occasionally ap-
ply liquid wax. Lately the tile has
become very rough and porous. A
friend claims that if linseed oil is
applied to it, the finish will be-
come smooth again. He thinks the
oils have been removed from the
tile by too much washing. Could
you advise, please?
ANSWER: l believe the damage
is due to the wrong type of wax
having been used. The only type
of wax for rubber tile is non-rub-
bling wax. Your liquid wax may
have been of a different variety,
not intended for this purpose. Do
not use oil on the flooring, as it
tends to disintegrate rubber.

"WHY. how do you do! Won't
w you come in?" asked Mother
as she opened the front door. Both
Freddie and looked up to see who
the caller might be.
The shades were drawn in the liv-
ing room, so we couldn't see who
was standing on the porch. Mother
Freddy's eyes because Freddy had
the measles. He was covered with
a blanket and curled up on the day
bed which had been moved down
from upstairs. was spread out on
the floor with the erector set.
We waited to see the unexpected
visitor, and imagine our surprise
when in walked big brown dog.
The newcomer trotted across the
room to inspect me, and l patted
him on the head. Then he went over
to the day bed and nuzzled his big
head against Freddy, as much as
to say:
eli, there, Bud, I've come to help
you get WE'LL"
20, gee, Mom," cried Freddy ex
citedly, "a dog! Can we keep him,
Nom? Where did he come from?
What's his name?"
Nov, now, not so fast, son." in
terrupted Mother, as she settled
Freddy under the blanket again.
HE just came to the door when l
went to get the mail, and thought
maybe he'd help you pass the time
while you're closed up here with the
measles. Do you like him?"
boy, I'll say" Freddy and 1
chanted in unison, "he's SWELL"
The newcomer, who was busy in
specting the premises, was just
dog; part airedale, part hound. He
was. big, grayish-brown, and would
have passed for a genuine airedale
if he hadn't had those big foppy,
hound-dog ears.
We had always wanted dog but
Dad said we didn't have place for
a dog, and he wouldn't have one if
he had to keep it tied.
"What'll we call him, Mom?" I
asked eagerly.
"Why don't you and Freddy fig
ure that out for yourself, son." she
said as she went toward the kitchen
to get dinner under way.
All my life had wanted people
to call me Jack, because I liked it
for nickname; but all ever heard
was just plain John, so I said:
Lets call him Jack, Freddy"
"Yeah-Jack's a good name all
right. Here, Jack, come over here.
old boy!" he called to the dog. And
Jack wagged his tail, put his big
front paws up on the couch, and
licked Freddy on the nose.
"Gosh, look, john" said Freddy,
che knows his name already"
We had a wonderful time with
Jack until Dad came home.
whats going on here?" he
called when he saw the dog
stretched out on the living room
floor. where did that mongrel
come from?"
"He came to help me get well,
Dad" piped Freddy from his haven
on the day bed.
Freddy always could work Dad
for most anything, and when he fin
ished telling Dad how the dog just
practically came up and knocked on
the door to help Freddy get well,
Dad just grinned and said grudg-
ingly:
well, guess we can keep him
for while until you get well
anyhow"
But after Freddy got well, Jack
stayed. Dad kicked about it little,
but he finally agreed to let US have
Jack if we kept him in the basement
at night, and the dog didn't get into
any trouble.
We both promised! But keeping
Jack out of trouble was like trying

QUESTION: We need some good
filler for wide cracks in the wall
board where it didn't reach at the
top of the wall; the space is about
an inch.
ANSWER: A good way to cover
the space would be with a wood
moulding; at a lumber yard you
can get a half-round or decora-
tive moulding that should make a
neat finish and look better than
any kind of paste crack filler.

EcTON & D'EWART FOR
THIS TOO

The effect of the two years of COP
control was summed up June IL by
Rep. Chef Holifield of California who
told the Congress that in terms of
consumer purchasing power alone,
27c was chopped from every dollar.
Since the Republicans took over he
said, the man whose salary is $4,000
a year can now buy only $3.50 worth
of necessities with it.
He charged that the people, "con-
fused by the propaganda of the NAM,
the US Chamber of Commerce, and
all of the newspaper mouthpieces of
big business, were stampeded into de-
feating the liberal Democrats who had
tried to protect them against infla-
ton, and into electing the Republican
representatives of big business and
the wealthy interests of our country"

That's where Cooperation begins.

So what do you do? You and your neigh
bors decide to chip in and buy comparatively.
You and your neighbors are going to share In
the ownership and savings. You are not inter-
ested in profits, but in service and savings
After couple of seasons you find that
your Coop is doing fine. So you decide to keep
control over your business all the way. You
begin thinking about marketing comparatively
all the way. You want voice in the big market
places, where prices for what you sell and buy
are fixed
1t all started as an idea. But it was an idea
strong enough to take root in the minds of
thousands of farmers

Where Does a Coop Begin?

Cooperative does not start In Timbuktu
or in China 1t starts right at home.
Cooperative does not start out with
buildings or inventories or big bank account.
1t starts out simply as an idea in your own head.
The idea is simply this: that farmer ought
to be able to keep bigger share of the food
dollar in his own pocket, and join with others
in buying what he needs without paying excess
prices.
That idea takes root and grows. Other
farmers have the same idea. So you decide to
do something about it.
You know that alone you cannot do any
thing But you and your neighbors can do a
lot working together.

Democratic Senators
To Confer on Chaplain

zone Of the questions the new
Democratic majority of the Senate
will settle next week Is whether to
elect new Senate chaplain.
The fact that the Republicans de-
cided to change chaplains when they
took control two years ago has been
recalled by some of the Democratic
leaders in recent weeks, but one of
them said today 1t has been decided
to let the entire Democratic mem
bership settle the issue in party
conference next week.
In January, 1947, the Republicans,
who had been out Of power for IA
years, brought in the Rev. DR.. Peter
Marshall, pastor of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church, to re-
place the Rev. DR.. Frederick Brown
Harris, pastor Of -Four, dry Methodist
Church. ,-. Co.,. go.
Democrats protested that the
chaplaincy should not be subject to
change with every turn Of the polit-
ical wheel of fortune. Republicans,
explaining that their decision was
not intended as any reflection on
the incumbent, said they had merely
turned to Abraham Lincoln's church
for their chaplain.
If the Democrats decide to follow
the example set by the Republicans
two years ago, the name Of DR.. Har-
ris undoubtedly will come up for
consideration. One Democrat en-
phasized today, however, that the
whole problem will await the arrival
in Washington of all newly elected
Democratic Senators.
