FOODfor THOUGHT
ByJ.D.T.
Howdy Folks: We heard.about
a dog-catcher who hsui a- wood-
en leg. At first, it was hard to
imagine .how a , dog catcher
with a wooden leg could catch
many dogs.
We mentioned it to. one Of
. the boys in the barber shop
and he suggested that per-
haps the dog catcJier Jost
. stood on the corner and wait-
ed for the dogs to come to
him. " ; -
BULL-TIN
When you buy a dog, be sure
to" get one that doesn't cost
much for bargain dogs never
bite, you know.
You know the tragedy of a
mama flea's life is that she
knows all her children will
go to the dogs.
As one headache said to ano-
ther headache, we better take
a powder. Especially after that
last one. '
