times insist on traveling across and digging up the vegetable

There is a way for dog owners and gardeners to cooperate,

provoke a regrettable incident.
YOU’RE STUCK WITH IT
As everyone knows, time goes faster as one grows older.
Scientists have sought to explain the phenomenon and have
presented plausible theories.
One concept is that childhood, contrary to adult notions, is
a relatively unhappy period. Children are frightened by a
million bugaboos and have countless little worries. They are in
a hurry to grow up so they can be free an«l on their own. The
stretch between birthdays seems interminable.
Th«* later years, believe it or not. are the happiest years of
life, proof of which is that time seems to go so fast. Such is the
philosopher's contention. It is certainly true that happy hours
are short hours and happy years are short years.
So quit your grousing. If time seems short you’re happy,
and don’t try to deny it.

SINCE THE DELEGATES of 19 nations met at Rio de Janeiro in 1947 to
draft a treaty of mutual assistance for South American states, four gov
ernments have fallen. They are. as shown In shaded areas on Ure map,
Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and Paraguay. The latter was rocked by
"putsch trouble” as recently as Feb. 28. Other dates indicate the time and
place of political coups. There have been, in addition, numerous "plots”
against existing regimes. Bolivia, for instance, has been under an almost
constant state of siege. Border troubles have frequently broken out and
complaints have been registered of intrusion from outside sources. Be
cause of a number of factors, future troubles are anticipated. These
include economic difficulties; cultural differences which range from head
hunters to sophisticates; Communist Infiltration and tho rise of political
and military opportunists seeking to seize power.

A two story dwelling, property
of Ivan Harris, locate«! about two
and three quarter miles cast on
Mosby creek, was destroyed by
fire last Thursday afternoon. The
dwelling occupied by the R. F.
Hadley family was a total loss.
The fire, starting from a defective
flue, quickly swept thru the entire
building and was a mass of flames
when the alarm was turned in.
The rural fire truck responded to
the call and firemen saved the ad
joining buildings.
Mr. Hadley, with four small
children, was at home when the
fire started. All of tho family
managed to escape the flames,

furniture except a dresser which
was damaged by flames.
There was no insurance on the
