more wildcat banking or stock selling
in North Dakota is the edict that has
been issued by the State banking board,
and In support OF this move. that

gage in the selling of the wildcat stocks
are outlawed.

ate IN. In some instances three or four
banks have been established in dis
tricts where one bank would suffice.

tinued their decline: Lorillard losing

Bees and Hens Fight
After Long Friendship

HACKENSACK, N. j.. June s.-One OF
the most cherished possessions Of Miss
Christie Corregan is her chickens. Next
door lives Mrs E. NJ. Waters, who re-
Gently moved from New York. To ex-
perience all the joys Of suburban life
she installed two hives of bees in her
back yard The honeymakers found
Mrs. Corregan's rose garden a delight
full resort.
The buzzing of the bees made charm
ing accompaniment to the satisfied cack-
ling Of the chickens until one day re-
Gently an undying feud started between
the hens and bees; how. or why. only
they can tell. Then by an apparently
preconcerted plan. the chickens attacked
the bees. and there was a fierce fight.
When the feathers settled five prize
hens had bitten the dust
Miss Corregan filed a complaint with
Police Captain Mella, but there is moth
ing in his books to aid him in settling
the difficulty. SO a civil suit may follow
for the loss OF the chickens. There
were no fatalities among the bees.

large cities promote interest in the day
by similar means.
The chief interest centers in the OBJ
servance of the day in the schools, for
the idea of fostering a reverence for the
nag In the hearts of the nations young
is what prompted the observance Of
