Card of Thanks We wish to express our gnUitude and thanks to our neighbors and other friends for their many acts of kind- ness to our wife and mother during her illness, and for the kind express- ions of sympathy, in word and deed, in our bereavement. â€" Chris. Lougheed and Family. The story is being' told locally of a dog which refuses to eat margarine. .\t a farm house not far from Walk- erton, where there are no children in tlie family, a small dog has been made the pec of the household. This animal sits in a high chair during meals and after bowing his head while grace is asked, is feed his usual quota of bread and good fann butter. Like many citizens the farmer and his wife decided to try margrine, it being the cheaper commodity. All went well until the perky purp was fed his bread with a lavish coating of the new substitute for butter. It is claimed that most humans can be fooled into thinking maiwarine '"s butter, but not so this wise barkei-, for it flatly refused to partake of Its meal and would not be satisfied until tlie real farm product was spread on his slice. Farmers who have been decrying the use of margarine might well take the action of this canine as one of the arguments against using the stuff which a dog won't eat. â€" Walkerton Herald-Times.
