HERO MINUS LEG AND ARM
SAVES GIRL, WINS A BRIDE
Manned Expert Swimmer Snatches
Miss King From the Surf.

New York.-The loss of his left arm
and left leg did not prevent Ludger
Gagne, Jr., Of 20 Wesland avenue,
Boston, from being an expert swim

summer and eventually winning her for

Gagne was talking to life guard at

for help came from the water. A girl
was struggling a considerable distance
from shore. Gagne reached the girl
first. She was Miss King.
Gagne and Miss King became en-
gagged. Her parents favored the match,

FARM HANDS GET. $45 \
A MONTH, WITH BOARD
That's In South Dakota, Where Bump.
or Crops Are Predicted.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Because of a
shortage Of farm hands it has become
necessary In many parts of South Da-
kota for the women and boys of the
households and even the girls to work
ln~the fields. So the farmers and their
wives and children are hard at work
putting in what Is believed to be the
greatest acreage Of spring wheat in the
history of the state.
With the prospect that prices for
foodstuffs will continue high during
the war the farmers have decided to in.
crease their crop acreage. With fa-
Vorable season South Dakota will pro-
duce this year the greatest crop of
foodstuffs in it's history. The residents
OF towns are preparing to have larger
vegetable gardens than ever before. 80
there Is every indication that the state
will make new record in crop pro-
duction this year.
Farm hands ready for work demand
from $35 to SIS month and board
and in many instances the farmers pay
these prices. Only a few years ago
good farm hands could be had from
Sl2 to $40 a month and board, and
those who received the higher figure
were the envied of their fellows.

NATIVES LOOTED SHIP
DRIVEN IN BY A U BOAT
Battle Between Crew and Beach
Combers, During Which One
of Latter Was Killed.

New York.-Driven by pitiless tigers
OF the sea" into the clutches Of equally
pltlless human tigers lurking along the
beaches of northern Spain was the
fate Of the officers and crew of the
schooner Phineas w. Sprague, the CAP
tain and chief officer of which YES
sci arrived in an American port on
board passenger liner from Cadiz.
According to Captain F. A. Jarvis,
the Sprague was pursued by a German
U boat while coasting through the bay
OF Biscay and was forced to seek ref
uge inside the three mile limit. There
the vessel was caught by q treacher-
GUS current and thrown on the beach
near Carbonares, Spain.
NO sooner did the residents of that
part Of King Alfonso's domain see that
the schooner was helpless, declares the
captain, than they boarded the vessel
In droves and commenced to loot her.
A battle between the crew of the
schooner and the beach combers en-
sued, during which one of the latter
was killed. The Sprague was a total
loss.
On board the same vessel which
brought Captain Jarvis and his chief
officer back to this country were
several other survivors of submarine
disasters, including Captain Phillip II.
johnson and twenty-one men Of the
steamship Zward and five men from
the schooner Edwin R. Hunt, both of
which were destroyed by U boats.

DOG ADOPTS COYOTES.

Takes Four Into Her Charge on q
Ranch.
Santa Ana, Cal.-Four coyote pups
have been adopted by mother dog on
the ranch Of Arthur Pefey, north of
Santa Ana.
The coyotes were found in the foot
hills back of Ell Modena by. Virgil Prit-
chard, high school boy, whose dogs
fought off the mother coyote while
Virgil got away with the little coyotes.
Clarence Pefey had dog with two
puppies.
The four strangers were put on the
ground near the mother and the pup
pies, who were busily engaged in par
taking of a meal. Rather bewildered,
the coyotes crept to the mother dog.
The dog eyed the coyotes, then when
they approached she began licking
them, and soon the coyotes were just
as busily engaged in eating as were
their cousins.

fields communication to congress
shows that serious thought has been
given to the idea.
It is also possible that with the great
weight in congress attached to the
magic word farmer" the members
will give the fish commission a new
building with more alacrity. The free
seed legislation always meets unani-
nous approval Perhaps in some fu-
ture congress along with the packages
Of turnip seed and corn there will be

letters something like this:
my Esteemed Constituents am
sending you under separate cover a
choice collection Of fish eggs, including
the roe Of the shad, the perch, the dace,
the club and the dogfsh. Plant these
in your fish ponds, where I hope they
will grow to be large and luscious
fishes"
Secretary Redfield has been a consist
ent booster for the bureau of fisheries
since he took Office in the department of
commerce, and under his administra-
ton the country has received several
valuable suggestions as to the edibility
Of fish little known hitherto. On the
subject of fish for farms he says to con-
gress: >.
Nothing has been done toward the
improvement Of the races of fishes in
respect to size, vigor, rapidity Of growth
and edible qualities. It is certain that
the culture of fish in ponds on farms
will assume importance within the next
few years, and the farmer should have
at his command the best brood stock
obtainable and information in regard to
it's handling and improvement at least
equal in reliability to that which he
can obtain respecting poultry"

ernments and peoples"
Among the 800 members present
were many Of the most prominent men
In Japanese public life. Vlscount Ka-
neko, ex-minister Of justice, presided
and the principal speech was made by
Baron Goto, ex-minister of communi-
cations.
Baron Goto said: There are few
questions of such vital moment to the
welfare Of mankind as the relations of
Japan and the United States. The era
Of the Pacific promises to surpass that
Of the Mediterranean or the Atlantic.
All the forces Of the east and west
will meet. viii they unite or clash?
I believe it lies in the power of the
United States and Japan to answer
that question, on which the future
happiness and progress Of the world
will depend. For this reason the re-
lations between Japan and the Unit
ed States are Of supreme Importance
With the awful responsibility that
they owe to mankind, will Japan and
the United States work hand in hand
or will they turn their backs on each
other? I hope the two nations will
find principles on which to base abid-
ing relations Of mutual trust and con-
f1dence."
Other speakers were Prince Toku-

Count Okuma, ex-premier; Baron Shi-

After the dinner greetings were
cabled to President Wilson.
