ENTITLED TO HIS PENSION
Intelligent Dog Well Earned the Grat
itude of His Master—Action
Saved Child's Life.
Toddy, ngc Iwenty-two, is. Ills own-
or declares, the oldest do# in Ohio,
lie Is now resting on his laurels, for.
he recently saved the life of one of
the children of his master, Onins 0.
Swander, u furmer. near Toledo. Ohio.
It 1ms been Teddy’s duty and joy
to ueeompnny the Swander children to
school, n mile distant, and bring them
homo a gal’ll, daily. He has never been
late on. the Job. On the way home
from school recently, one of the little
Swundors became ill suddenly and fell
by the roadside. Teddy Immediately
started at Ids fastest pace for home
and made such a fuss thut members
of the family accompanied him buck
along the road.
They found the child, unconscious,
and extremely cold. He was hurried
home and restored to health. The
Swanders believe Hint Teddy’s prompt
action saved tin* child’s life.
Mr. Swander immediately bought a
dog license for ids faithful dog. “I’ll
have no dog catcher chasing Idm. If
anything should happen to that dog,
my family would grieve 11s much as
if ho were one of them,” declared Mr.
Swander.
Teddy is half coyote and half Indian
dog. He was bought from n hand of
Comanche Indians In Oklahoma 16
years ago.—Charles A. Henderson, In
Our Dumb Animals.
TOO MUCH RUT
The fellow who wear* a path from his
work to Ids home will soon wear himself-
out.
These are not the times of a hundred
year . ago, when life was more simple and
people had time to think. Today we are
going the pace that kills, in our chase for
wealth, a pace that taxes nature to the
We need more recreation, more relaxa
tion, more enjoyment free from the cares
of business, for without these the pep of
life will become sapped to the marrom-
In our haste to accumulate wealth we
have acquired the habit of leaving com
munity affairs almost entirely to our
elective officials, contenting ourselves with
a perfunctory kick when things do not go
to suit us.
We should leave the beaten path and
take some of this responsibility upon our
own shoulders. It would be good for any
community and even better for us. Think
tins over.—Henry County Weekly*
VILLA RICA, ROUTE TWO
FEW ESCAPED TAX GATHERER
In Old “Merrle England" HU Net Was
Wide and Its Meshes Set
Especially Close.
The Bulgarian bachelor who ‘now
groans under nn annual tax, equiv
alent to 8s 4d a year, has less cause
to grumble than .many a British celi
bate who shied at the altar a couple
of centuries or more ago.
During the 18 years from 1695 to
1708 the man over twenty-five who
shirked his matrimonial duty was
called on to pay £12 10s ($62.50) for
a duke, a tax which yielded to the
revenue about £1,000 ($5,000) a week.
- More than tlris, In those good old
times the Briton had to pay a tax
when ho took hlinself a wife, and an
other every time he qualified as fa
ther. Thus, a duke’s nuptials cost
him £50 4s ($252); his heir, £30 2s
($152), and for each later male addi
tion to the family his Joy was discount
ed by a payment of £25 2s ($127).
The benedict whose Income was less
than £50 ($250) u year had to pay 2s
6d (GO cents) for his bride and 2s (48)
ceuls) every time he became u father.

Columbia Storage Battery
MR. MOTORIST-
Why do we service all makes of batteries?
Why do we make the old battery give such long service instead of condemning it and
trying to sell a new one?
Are these questions which enter your mind?
■ ‘, i
Then let us tell you the answer.
Perhaps we are out of style, but we feel honor bound to give you a fair deal. If your old
battery can be repaired economically, we repair and use patented Columbia parts giving the old
battery some of the vitality for which Columbia Batteries are famous.
Won’t you agree with' us that that your good will is worth more to us than a few dollars
profit on a fore ed battery sale? Well then, there’s a common interest in letting us service your
battery. We aim to profit through your satisfaction and recommendation.
Let’s start now with an inspection as a trial, you will not be obligated, and there is no fee.
You will find us, Your battery’s triend,
J. R. DUNCAN.
