HE DIDN’T STAY AT
HOME EITHER
Longview—(UP) — This little
pig went to market . And some-
where he’s probably alive to tell
the tale.
It began when J. H. Weller,
gardner and landscape artist for
the Gregg County courthouse
grounds, brought the pig home
with him, a few hundred yard3
from the courthouse.
The pig got loose and made a
bee-line for the carefully tended
shrubbery beds, flower plots and
nurtured lawns on which the gard-
ner had worked. Weller, running
full speed, was only a few steps
behind-.
Round and round the mulberry
bush, the courthouse and all sped
the two^ with the pig decidedly
getting the better of the race.
It headed for the Marshall high-
way with Weller, shopkeepers and
citizens shouting at its heeb.
“A lot of people started to help
me,’ the gardner said, “hut they
all got tired and quit.”
Fort Worth—(UP) — Jimmy is
back in the harness and lovirg it.
Like a lot of other old-tii
the war has pulled him ou\
retirement into a job he can
do well.
Jimmy is the prize black Per-
cheron of the Boswell Dairies, a
veteran of 10 years on the milk
run but go handsome that he1 was
a natural for any parade that
would properly show his powerful
beauty. So the milk run ofteri was
pulled by a substitute while Jim-
my was prancing down the line of
march for all Fort Worth to see.
He pulled the carriage of the
Southern Belles $n the opening of
“Gone With the Wind.”
Six months ago, Jimmy had
earned his permanent retirement
Once a year the dairy manage-
ment gives its horses a week’s
rest, but the months went in an
unexplicable manner for Jimmy.
He missed the routine and the cus-
tomers along his old route.
Then trucks and tires were ra-
tioned. A war was on. Good hor-
ses were becoming scarce in a
Abilene (UP) — Here’s a little
story from the Camp Barkley
News: ,
“Through the mail this week to
the Camp Barkley News came a
clipping from the Dallas Morning
News comics. It was Jane Ardent
Wardrobe and one of the dresses
was designed by ’Bob Gardner.
Battery B, 189th Field Artillery.’
“The editors wish to thank the
anonymous person who called the
comics to our attention. We’d nev-
er think of looking through Jane
Arden’s wardrobe for names of
Camp Barkley men^ and we’re sup-
posed to ‘be on the lookout for evi-
dences of success by our own
soldiers.
“Beyond a doubt, Gardner has
scored a success. The dress is an
afternoon creation—with a black
pin stripe. The ckirt is rather
short—attaboy Bob—and the waist
i3 slimed. Accessories are a pink
purse, pink gloves and a hat band
boi’dered in pink. All very fetching
“There is a plain blouse, too,
which sets the whole ensemble off,
perfectly. The suit looks like it
\ would serve Miss Arden well in
