In a recent exchange II IS stated

Ing Incident seen by French traveller
in an extensive lumber yard in Burma.
While the adult elephants We're
faithfully at WORT the youngsters
alayed about the yard. The elephant
that attracted the travellers particu-
lar attention was hauling, in her chain
harness, huge tree trunks from the
bank of the river She had heavy
load, a fact that her offspring did not
realize. Bent on playing a prank, he
wound his little trunk around one Of
the chain traces aud pulled back with
al his strength.
Conscious of the suddenly increased
weight, the mother stopped and looked
around. She saw the youngster and
SHOOK her head solemnly but, paying
40 further heed to his teasing, bent
again to her work. Meanwhile the
little rascal with his miSchieyous trunk
had loosened the ring that fastened the
traces TO the load
While the mother was straining TO
set her burden IN motion again, her
ruscally son pulled with all his
might against her, and pulled so
surdily that she was quite unaware
that she had been disconnected from
her load. Then, suddenly, the young
ster let go. Naturally enough, the
mother was thrown to her knees and
her driver hurled in wide circle from
her back.
The culprit sought huge wood-pils
that seemed to offer him at least a
temporary protection. His mother
with her iron harness changing noisily
behind her, kept close at his heels.
Although the little ones greater
agility gained some space for him at
The corners, his mother eventually
overlook him. The first blow Of her
trunk drew from him bawl of pain.
At the second he sank, quite humbled,
to his knees; and then he endured
without a murmur, although with
many tears, a sound thrashiug. Finally
the mother let him up. With tears
stll streaming aud with dropping trunk
he took his disconsolute way out OF
the yard.
The little fellow had won the com
plete sympathy Of the observer. Con-
sequently he was ovcrjoyed to witness
during the noon hour touching rec
onciliation. The mother did all she
could to comfort the penitent little
sinner; she careSSed him with her
trunk, cuddled him up against her, and
looked at him as If to say You sun
have a mother who loves you. Our

Two Southern Governors on
Way to Western Confer

High Prices

Early Sunday morning as the
Northwestern Overland Limited
train rolled westward over the fer
tile fields of Iowa corn land, the
governor of North Carolina said to
the governor of South Carolina
No! 1t was nothing about the
length of time between drinks, but
it was the next akin to drinking,
as the topic of conversation was
how the H. c. of L. could be low
cred.
The two southern gentlemen
were enroute to Salt Lake City to
attend a conference of all COVER
nors Of the United States to deter
mne upon a feasible plan to COM
bat prohteering. When their train
reached Omaha the two governors
from the south. with their heads
close together and pencil and paper
in hand, were still engrossed in
outlining plans to present to the
conference.
The topic under discussion proved
so puzzling that Gov. 7. w. Beckett
of North Carolina completely for
got his promise to the FIRST lady
of North Carolina" that he would
join her in constitutional walk on
the platform of the Union station.
To Get Information.
Both men were reluctant in tell
ing of their ideas on how best to
lower living costs and stated that
the purpose of their visit to Salt
Lake City was to get information
and not to practice oratory.
As the Pullmans were being
switched preparatory to continuing
their way west over the Union Pa
c!fic, Gov. Robert A. Cooper of
South Carolina espied a green field
Of corn and exclaimed:
There is the secret of lowering
living costs. Production must be
increased. There are too many idle
acres. While passing through this
section of the country where the
food supply of the nation is raised,

Vigorously in Enforcement of
Food Control Law Obeyed.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE gov

of living is expected to result in
action in many states this week to
force boarded food on the market
while congress is debating legisla-
ton dealing with the question.
Reports to Attorney General

days. Mr.. Palmer, directing the

to New York tomorrow to confer
with the fair-price board for that
city.
Criminal Penalty.
Senate and house agriculture COM
mittees probably will report this

Closely akin to the consideration
of the living cost question will be

out before 4 o'clock completed their
rounds, were shunted into the barns
and abandoned.
Shut Off Power.
At that hour strikers in the Inter
borough power houses shut off the
power, causing a temporary stop

of the New York railways and the
Manhattan spurs of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company, (which use

Strike Is Orderly.
The strike was declared by the DO
lice to be, so far, one of them ost
orderly large strikes ever called in
New York.
No chances were taken by the po-
lice to be. so far, one of the most
trolmen being stationed at all barns
power houses and stations to pre-
vent any possible outbreak. :
Investigations by District Attor-
ney Swami of New York county and
District Attorney Martin of the
Bronx, will be resumed tomorrow
in an effort to obtain evidence in
substantiation of Mayor Hylan's
charge that the strike was the re-
suit of collision between officials
OF the Interborough and the broth
