Bill is a busy man, and has little time to go about petting stray puppies, but he had noticed this dog and one day when he went out on a job found the canine wagging her tail violently and sitting in the back of his car. So she went riding, and seemed to enjoy it. But it happened that the car broke down some distance from the village, and a wrecking car came to haul it in. To express her thanks, and to defend the man who had befriended her, the dog refused to allow the mechanics to touch Bill's car. She barked and snarled, and dashed about madly de- fending her benefactor's property. It wasn't until Bill spoke to her that she would let the garage men haul his car in. And now Bill says that he sure has found a loyal friend, who is wear- ing a brass-studded harness, without any license number attached, and that someone has lost a good, faithful dog. PLAN CAMP FIRE SALE The Camp Fire Girls of the Winnet- ka groups are to have a food sale in the Assembly room of the Community House, Saturday morning, December 11. Further details of the sale, and the groups participating will be announced later. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kranich are now occupying the new home they purchased at 985 Vine street. Former- ly they resided on Asbury avenue. KEEP CHILDREN WELL 'Children will keep well and poy if you give them good food--pure fresh milk from 'cows that have passed the tuberculin test. WINNE TK /
