| will all rebound to the glory of that
illustrious statesman, Woodrow Will
son.
This act stands on a par with the
regional reserve act, also passed by
this session. 1t may be in advance
of the times. but nevertheless, il
shows the wisdom of anticipating
the wants OF the people before a
crying need takes place, and this
act has demonstrated that the gov
eminent can legislate for the bene-
fit of the masses and build up that
great industry. agriculture, which is
the basis Of all wealth and the Sc
curity of all investments and the up
lift of the human family.
OF course. il is a new departure
to legislate for the tiller OF the soul
the man who handles the plow-
but we are beginning 10 realize that
heis a man of powers, the man be-
hind the throne.
The rural credit act OF the United
States will be a monument to the
United States and a model for other
nations TO pattern after, and the
longer it is In force the greater the
benefits will be.

Captain Foster Told BY Board To
Dock Her Where He Thinks

II IL more than probable that the

great disgust Of her agents, captain and
passengers. -.'- .. 49,
Captain Foster, the harbormaster
appeared before the board of harbor
commissioners yesterday afternoon and
wanted 70 know what would be the
board's attitude in regard TO moving

said he had no other place TO send the
fommeyn, as il would not be safe TO
send the big vessel ou:siGe at this tim,
Of year. BY moving her TO Pier 4 room
would be made at Pier for the Great
Northern. A letter had been received
from Fred J.. Waldron, Ltd, agents for
the Great Northern, asking that she be
berthed at Pier z. ...
Commissioner Church was decidedly
opposed to moving the Pommern to the
incompleted wharf, and promptly
moved that the Great Northern be sent
to Pier 10. " Entirely too much is
made of the fact that Pier rs is not in
a pretty part of the town" he said
~ cant soc that any particular dam
sge has been done 10 the tourist traf

else, by sending her ~ Pier 10. It's

Commissioner Mcclellan seconded

Church was strongly opposed to this.

Eight girls, ranging in age from

Four of the girls have been returned to

Quite recently little Portuguese

Whitney. The Judge refused the pa

This arrangement suited neither the
prl nor her parents. The latter made

french. leave of the institution.
After dinner on Monday, and while
he bell was ringing for study, the eight
urls slipped away, some of them going
lone and some to other places.
As soon as the departure of the eight
girls was discovered, n hue and cry was

morning two of the truants were
rought back by the probation officer
