IS THIS TRUE JONESY?
I
There is a rumor at Kennec
ott that wedding bells will soon
ring again, this time for M. Jones
better Unown as “Dynamite
Jones," who is seriously thinking
of joining the ranks of the Bene
diets for better or for worse.
Is it the call of the ring that
again brings forth this call fur a
sparring partner? Let us hope
| that Jonesy will find the right
one and good wishes and a good
sized rolling pin for the bride-to
be.

A CANINE MARVEL
Have you been conversing
i with Bob Mooney lately? Then
: I’il bet you’ve had all the latest
! dope on ‘Shamrock’, Bob’s wond
( erlul Irish water spaniel
Shamrock has just passed
the twelfth week of his exist
ence but already he shows ail
the finest points of a first class
water spaniel while all the bad
points seem to be eliminated
' from his make up. Bob tried
him out Sunday at a nearby lake
and Sham rocs took to water like
a fish and Bob’s fears that he
i wTould be somewhat gun shy pr
loved groundless for the noise of
! Bob’s trusty blunderbus went
jover his head like oil off a trou
; bled ducks back.
If you have not already
heard the life story of Shamrock
just drop around and see Mr.
| Mooney. He is never too busy to
I dilate on this wonderful dog’s
prowess and he can tell you ever
so much better than I can.
