We don't think we've ever re-
ceived quite SO much comment
on anything we ever had in the
paper as the paragraphs in this
column last week about the in
juries to. Duke, the Kogolshak
dog. We've heard runors of
several other dogs who are said
to have received the same treat
ment, but none that we can
confirm.
It is comforting to know that
we are not the only dog lovers
in town. Most frequent COM
ment is along this line: I'D
like to find out just who did
that" I'D take great pleasure
in knocking his block off"
Hardin apparently doesn't
have any monopoly on cruelty
to dogs. We clipped an item
from the Great Falls Tribune
last week about a cocker SPAN
Tel in Kalispel which was douSed
in gasoline and then ignited. 1t
was so badly injured that it had
to be shot. We just don't I'M
derStand people who would do
things like that.
" ENTHUSIASTICALLY -
A paper in Arnold, Nebr., runs
one of those "From the Files"
affairs, and recently one OF
Hardin's more prominent citi-
zens got his name right smack
in the middle of Twenty Years
Ago" section.
1t was Darr Kicker, and the
paper reported that he was
working in the local barber shop
one day a week and picking 100
bushels of corn each of the
other six days.
How times have changed
Darr still works hard, but he's
gotten a long ways away from
corn (eithcr variety. We un-
derstand, however, that he still
retains his skill at the tonsori-
al art and does an excellent
pinch-hitting job in his former
line in an emergency.
We couldn't believe our eyes.
We came to the stop sign on
Custer avenue, stopped in our
usual laW-abiding manner, saw
a truck coming and decided to
stay stopped. We've never liked
to tangle with trucks much. To
our utter amazement, said truck
pulled to a stop before entering
the intersection, and someone
motiOned us to go ahead. we
did a double take, and there
was Sergeant Durham sitting
beside the driver, who was, we
decided, obviously taking the
examination for a ehauffeur's
license
That brought to our mind the
fact that after you've stopped
at a stop sign, you have the
right of way over approaching
vehicles which reach the inter
section after you do. At least
we think that's the law. We've
never tried to take advantage
of that regulation however. Once
stopped, we stay stopped until
the traffic clears aWay-and
somehow we think we're going
to keep right on doing it,. We
don't think most drivers know
that law, and if they do, we are
reasonably sure most of them
won't observe it. ]
People are darned annoying
sometimes. They have all sorts
of good ideas, which they intend
to tell us about, but somehow
they never get around to it. We
got this one by a devious and
roundabout method, and it's a.
bit late, but It's too good to
keep out.
It seems a couple of local
nimrods went deer hunting.
When they came back they re-
ported a very successful deer
hunting trip. They didn't have
to dress out any deer, drag them
down the mountain, lift them
onto the car an fasten them
there, or hunt up a game war
den and have them tagged.
Tnnev didn't have to haul any
game all the way back to Har-
din, they didn't have to butcher
any deer, and they didn't have
to pay any locker rent to keep
the venison steaks they didn't
get. They cid have a good time,
which is the main reason for
going hunting anyway, say they.
This week for the first time
in several, we wrote an editori-
al. We would like to call your
attention to it, since we know a
lot of people just glance at the
