BATTLE WITH GIANT EAGLES
California Deer Hunters Had Fierce
Fight Before Overcoming TWO
Monarchs of the Air.

Attacked by two monster eagles
while deer hunting in the Malibu dis
trict, Doctor Kingsbury of Ocean
Park, G. M Wilson, a rancher, and
Policeman Harry Wright of Santa
Monica, fought two hours before they
were able to kill the birds, writes a
Los Angeles correspondent.
Shrieking and screaming, the eagles
tore at the men with their claws, tear
ing Wright's clothing in many places
and inflicting a flesh wound on Kings
bury's right shoulder.
The fight began with only one of the
birds. The men were hunting on the
Williams ranch with two dogs. Sud-
denly huge eagle swooped down and
grabbed one of the dogs. 1t circled
20 feet in the air with the dog in its
talons before the men could fire. The
first shot missed, but the second shot
from Kingsbury's gun brought the
bird down.
AS the three men rushed forward the
eagle dropped the dog and struck out
at Wright, screaming all the while.
It's screams brought it's mate, the lat
ter making an attack on Kingsbury
and sinking its talons into his shoul
der.
Williams shot and killed the bird
that was fighting with Wright and
then the two rushed the remaining
eagle. 1t started to fly away and then
came back. The men began shooting
at it, driving it little farther away
with each shot. For four miles they
chased the bird before finally killing
it.

In the pursuit of Villa and his bandits through
the arid regions Of northern Mexico the United
States troops trayersed region whose only vege-
taton is the barbed and forbidding cactus. To
any but q cowboy a trained plainsman of the
Southwest, inhabitants themselves of the cactus
belt" this plant seemingly has no more value than
the veriest weed, but it may well be that it may
prove of great value to the troops in the absence
of water, fodder, or even food for human beings
In the punitive expedition there are many COW
-punchers of the cactus belt'' serving as scouts
and in the cowboy and the Indian of the South
west the Lowry cactus has It's greatest admrer for

has to make against an unlaved desert soil. Even
their ponies and cattle and the poor beasts of the
desert know Of these uses of the cactus for water
and fodder says the New York Herald
There are some thousand varieties of this mon
strous vegetable family, not counting the 800 va
rietes of the agave or century Fundamentally
included by many-in northern Mexico. The va

Of the many varieties perhaps the most remark
able is that member of the family known to those
schooed in desert craft the water barrel" This
plant is shaped somewhat like beer keg and is
about the same SiZe Through all the years Of it's
growth it has been sopping up what moisture the

The water barrel' is tapped by slicing off the

TAIN The "peyote" especially, which abounds in
the plains and deserts of Arizona has trick of
dscouraging depredations upon it, for its plump
and juicy pulp secretes a bitter and poisonous
juice.
In the last dozen years scientists have interested
themselves in the study of the cactus for it's posi-
biities as food, fodder and economic by-products
Dr. Leon E. Landone, foremost in the study of this
desert plant several years ago conducted extensive
experiments in Los Angeles to ascertain the value
of the thornless cactus as an article of food for
human beings. In an effort to prove his conten-
ton that it contains food properties sufficient to
enable a man to work Is hours day, he and his
two secretaries for two weeks lived on daily diet
of the leaves and fruit of the cactus, the former
being served green or fried and the latter either
raw or cooked. While the cactus squad" sur
vived the experience and professor to have en-
joyed their novel diet, it is fact that the cactus
never has attained the popularity of filet mignon
In the whole vegetable kingdom probably there
is not another plant family having so many diff
ferentiations OF form the cacti. For it is pos
sible to find among them species that crawl and
creep like vines other than stand erect in single
unbending stalk, like green living monument Of
the desert; still others that rooted to the spot
with their highest growth close to the ground and
bearing almost no resemblance to usual forms of
vegetation. and others, again, that branch out In
thick unblooming branches

And SO we firmly believe you do feel.

And so firmly believe you do feel.
We all hear it repeated that patriotism is
thing of the past; that our people have become
commercialized; that the masses have no deep
rooted loyalty to the country; that our rich men
put dollars above the obligations of their citizen
ship; that our poor folk little for the ideals
of free government; that we Americans are de-
cadent in the virtues and valor which marked
our fathers
That IS not true.
If there be any power in the world which plots
tory over US on the assumption of our decadence
in loyalty, that power will find how terrible was
its mistake when our country calls her sons to
battle in her defense.
We have, 1t is true, in our capacity as a col
lective people, left undone things that should
have been done and done things which should
have been left undone and there is more truth
than there should be in much that is jeerngly
said by those who hate us.
We acknowledge that much of our politics Of
tends common decency.
We see here and there, painful evidence of cor
ruption among lawmakers and even among the
judges, who should know only justice and in
tegrity
and foul their hands and soil their souls with
most Infamous dealings and most shameful
profits.
We see Americans who do put the dollar above
every consideration of right and duty, above the
claims Of common humanity.
But while these things are true it is true also
that the heart and conscience Of the American
people, take them as a nation, are sound and
sane and wholesome.
The blood Of our fathers still runs in the veins
of their sons. The spirit of the nation may in

Work and play.

South Americans have not yet
learned that play is as necessary to
the child as is work. "a sound mind
in sound body has not been stressed
to the people of that continent as it
has to those of North America. They
think that time spent in play is time
lost-and they frown upon it. ''The
parents wish to keep their children
porting over their books, and believe
that recreation interferes with their in
tellectua1 development" said a men,
Der of the national committee on ply
steal education of Uruguay recently.
It is only in recent years that the peo-
pie of the United States have realized
that children must be taught to play
just as they must be taught to think.
There are yet among us some who
think that money spent on Fairgrounds
and on instructors is money lost-but
we are gradually learning; and the
South American will learn, too.-Hous-
ton Post.

deed seem to slumber in the soft bed of long
enjoyed peace and security. But let war come
against the land and no man need doubt that that
spirit will spring up instantly awake.
We can rightfully be grateful that it has fallen
to our happy lot to live in this most wonderful
of all ages and to be citizens of this most won
derful of all the nations.
Let your hearts swell with just pride you
contemplate your country, so august, so splendid,
so renowned IN the earth.
Look upon your flag it streams it's bright
folds yOnder above your heads with proud and
happy eyes. Remember how honorable is it's
story, and forget not how many thousands of
brave and good men died that it might wave yon-
der, the ensign of free people.
Tell to your children the story of their fore
bears, Of those men and women who, amid the
wilderness and forests that stood where now
stand mighty cities and stretch cultivated farms,
erected with hardships and endurance and most
heroic faith and valor, the noble edifice of our
republican liberties.
Speak to them Of Bunker Hill and Valley Forge
and Saratoga and Yorktown, and of the great
Decaration-that most famous Charter of HUI
man Freedom.
Tell them to thank God for their fathers and
mothers hardihood and courage for the wars
they fought for the victories they won.
Tell them to salute their flag with high and
proud hearts
Tell them to thank God this Thanksgiving day
that they are Americans.
And then do you soberly, gratefully, proudly
thank God yourself that you are an American.

gift or more to be desired could God give than to
be born and to die strong Daughter of Liberty,
between thy shining feet!-From the Chicago

~ ~ offer up gratitude to COO.
He reflected that across the Atlantic millions
Of human beings were at that very moment en-
gagged in the dreadful task of killing other human
beings with every invention which ingenuity and
skill could bring forth from the laboratories Of
science and the workshops Of industry.
In other lands at that very moment tens of
thousands upon tens of thousands of helpless
folk-feeble, aged men and women, mothers with
babes clinging convulsvely to their breasts, little
children sobbing in terror, vast army Of the IN
nocent and the anguished-were enduring the ex-
tremitieS Of exposure, of hunger, and OF despair
as they fled from their wasted farmsteads and
burning villages, escaping from the pitiless cruelty
of savage men only to lie down to suffer and die
under the pitiess skies of God in the winter and
the bitter storms.
At that very moment most dreadful war hid
half the world in the backness of it's darkness
ind from that horrid cloud rained destruction
upon unhappy Europe-upon her ancient capitals,
upon her pleasant Cities upon her villages, her
fields, her temples, her treasures of art upon all
the accumulations of a thousand years Of genius,
of learning, of industry of skill and of patient
advancement of the happiness and the civilization
of the race of man.
So he that considered all this wickedness that
was being done under the sun, this drunken dance
of death and hell above the fetid corpses and the
multitudinous graves, this awful nightmare of in
describable woe and wrath said in the bitterness
of his heart that no God ruled over such maniac
world and there was thanksgiving due to the
Giver of Gifts that were not good, but everyone
altogether evil
And when the man had made end of his
thinking he went and stood in a window and
looked out upon the evening, because it was fair
TO see.
He saw in vision at that instant the vastness
of the republic ard the multitude of the good and
happy folk who live under the shelter of it's
strength. He reflected how brief time had thus
magnified the works of our pioneer fathers and
our pioneer mothers, those brave and simple men
and women whose names should never be men
toned with anything but profound gratitude.
And to this American, glad with a great pyide
in the deeds of his people and the story of his
country, and grateful to the Goodness which has
guided and sheltered his fathers and his folk,
lifted up his eyes to the night to the quiet stars
to the brooding immensely above, and said in his
heart:
"Thank God that I am American"
And, citizens, that is the one outstanding,
splendid fact for which each of us should
soberly and most gratefully thank God on Thanks
giving day this year.
The finest thing you possess or ever can pos
6ess is just your American citizenship. 1t is
neither necessary nor becoming, this day
on any other day. to cheaper this birthright of
ours by brag or spreadeagle defamation.
But it is highly becoming on this Thanksgiving
day to feel deep gratitude and a manly pride
