Dog About Town And wvith the passing of Gin, the best known dog in the community, a kind of bush bas fallen over the cdi- tonial office wvbere hie spent so much of bis time during the past several years. iEvery so often someone looks up from lus typewriter as if expecting to hear the cheery jingling of a license tag and the brisk patter of f eet . . .. and tlien realizes that the one and only Gin is'no more. Had Community Spirit Homes are missing hlm. too. Aý rcgular hundle of communitv spirit- someonie once alluded to hlm as a -real citizen"-lie paid almost daiîy calîs at some residences wvhere hie would pass the time of day and perhaps gratefulîy acknowledge a boue. Women gladly pautsed, in tbeir bousehold tasks to, wel- corne Gin, wbile chiîdren sbrieked witb delight at an opportunitv to pet the gentle, diguified terrier. As if realizing bis civic and patriotic obligations, Gin proudly wore a poppy f rom bis collar on nearly every Poppy day. And bie waý no pacifist. The scallops on bis ears bore testimouy toï the fact that.he'd been in batties. But with human beiugs, he was gentle, as gentie. Many a child bas walked over to pet Gin while hie dozed comfortably in his favorite cornern Ten Years a "Ne,**" Hound Tei . years of being near tbe *news, seemed to, be reflected'in Gin's temper-. ament. Primarily an editorial dog, hie ,plunged into living instead'of wbining about it. Almost to the very Iast, bie seemed interested in. what bis old. friends, were doing, and he always bad the eager spirit.of a pup-even to tea- iug, up the old shirts tbat padded. bis editorial bcd. He was a dog wbo loved motion and action as well as he loved a good snooze when he was worn out with bis day's activities. Automobile rides, long walks, quests for cats, and swimsý in the lake-all this thrilled him. His luxurles in if e Were candy, snoozes on soft cusb ions and the Saturday. nigbt S bath. The three expressions that made hlm jump to bis feet were:- "Where's Your money won't go "fast," but it wilII go far when you invest ih in a case of good HOFF-BRAU BEER! Order a case or two f ront us today " . . it's economical and youll always have it on hand during this hot weather. RAPID FRIEE DIELIVERV F. A.
