j DUMB HERO ON CASUALTY LIST
i _
Old Red Cross Army Mule the Only
Animal That Was Accorded the
Distinction.
Dumb animals fought, bled and died
1 for the United States, writes .7. \V,
Rixey Smith in the Home Sector, and
only one lonely army mule, attached
to the Twenty-seventh division for
duly, was honored with a place on the
| casualty list.
j The ex-soldier’s magazine says:
; “Many men of the Twenty-seventh di
vision will never forget the old Ffed
j Cross mule 'who, so far as is known,
; accounted for the only casualty accred
; ited to our animals In the war. Many
a time (lie old wornout beast faithful
ly plied his way right up to the front
lines with chewing gum and chocolate
and cignrettes. Once, in some manner,
j lie went too far, found himself in the
thick of the fighting, got himself prop
erly excited and—there are witnesses
to attest It—kicked, a Boche into
oh'ivion. And the luck that had been
with him stuck, for lie came safely
buck to the American tines.
The faithful messenger dogs at
tached to liaison service to the Seven
ty-seventh division will always be re
membered kindly by their Yankee
friends. Will members of Battery B
One Hundred Thirteenth field artillery
ever forget Billy, the little pony pris
oner taken from the enemy, which
though cleverly smuggled aboard ship
they were forced just before landing
to relinquish and see put en route for
France again? Certainly no one who
was ever at St. I'ierre des Corps has
forgotten Miss Jenny Hohenzollern,
the fastidious pet monkey who, among
other things, ate a box of C. C. pills
and chewed to pulp a whole fodder of
important papers. Nearly half of the
6,000 pigeons remaining in the A. E.
F. at the time of the armistice, when
put up at auction were bid in by their
kliakied attendants* and in one way
or another got back to their native
i land.”
TRUCKS AND COUNTRY ROADS
Noticeable That Highways Have Eeen
Improved Along All Motor
Vehicle Routes.
In and around all communities on
motor truck routes it is noticeable that
all roads have been improved to en
able motor trucks to maintain consist
ent speed as well ns to decrease depre
ciation. Thus the motor truck not
only makes communities independent
of any one particular line of trans
portation, but serves the interests of
that community efficiently and econom
ically. These improved roads increase
| realty values along the routes, cre
ating a higher standard of public im
provement and fanning into life a com
munity pride that is reflected in the
prosperity of that community.

Truth About Cat's Eyes.
A eat can see better in the dusk
;hnn ran a human being because the
rat’s eyes are sensitive to ultra-violet
rays. Its pupils are capable of great
er expansion than those of man s or
of almost any other animal, thus ad
mitting more light, d ' eat uses its
whiskers for feelers in the dark. Its
sure-f(oot< dm ss is a great help to it.
So it gets along bettor n the dark

glee of clearness as by day is, how
ever erroneous.
