The officer on. Riverside saw
what he supposed to be asnude fig

thoroughfare before daylight.
Seeming a possible crime, or an
escaped lunatic. the cop gave
chase, and when, nearly exhausted,
he managed to get within hailing

stopped and walked meekly up to
the man in uniform.
An explanation showed that the
supposed naked individual wore
trunks. He was an amateur prize

though it lay apparently dead for
months, would, If placed in the
ground, give root to a plant.
Mr.. Mather secured several
leaves, and, four or five weeks
later, planted the withered speci-
mems. The present plant is one of
the results. It will be presented to
the park department for the con-
servatory.

on which to try out their petition for an
Injunction to restrain Maine snerltfs from
Selling liquor shipped into this State until

This is the last straw at which the rum
sellers can grasp. Their suit against al

Expected Of Labrador by

May in Near Future Be I'm

Reindeer Meat May Be Exported

Sydney, N. S., Dec. 19.-That Labrador
may in the near future become an I'M
portant source of food supply, exporting
large quantities of meat, cereals etc., as
we'll as her present fish shipments, IS the
opinion of DIR. Wilfred Grenfell, the noted
missionary, author and lecturer. Dr.
Grenfell and his bride, formerly MISS
Clanahan of Chicago, are on their way
from the United States to Labrador. Ihe
doctor is very enthusiastic over the pros
pect of extending his herds OF relndeer'
imported from Lapland. to all parts OF
Labrador In an interview he SAID:
I'VE have estimated that Labrador can
very easily support a million reindeer
without artificial feeding, either summer
or winter, and there are excellent pros
poets of this developing into a most profit
able industry. Their flesh makes splendid
food, the flavor being similar to that OF
any other venison. and l look forward to
the time when large quantities Will be
exported to supply the meat markets OF
the world.
1--WE are also taking steps to encourage
the growth Of hardy food plants suitable
to the country
Il do not expect that we will be able

| hardy cereals will flourish. The season
opens late in the year but growth is yer.

that we will be able to rival their pro
ducts in some lines.
