TIE WEEKLY 7ImesREcoRD. VALLEY CITY. NORTH DAKOTA
CANADA INVADED BY EAGLE
Trip, and Was Easily Cap. ~
tured; Given Name.

The American eagle recently spread
his wings, majesticallN over Canadian
soil. The eagle-a real one by the
way-soared from somewhere and
landed in Sandwich, Ont. Whence he
came, nobody knows. But it was from
a long way off, as he was manifestly
exhausted when he alighted on the
roof Of new house at the corner OF
Lot and Peter streets. 1t was just
about noon, and children coming from
school espied him, says the Detroit
News.
The bird stayed on his perch for
some time, when the mob gathered be-
low. The eagle surveyed the crowd in
a bored manner during the MINUTES
when he was not engaged in searching
with his beak for something or things
under his feathers. The crowd be-
came larger and more threatening.
Finally one Drawer than the rest, evil
IDENTIFY Briton without guile, cast the
first stone.
The American eagle spread his wings
to their full extent and, waiting not
for the year of parley between disput-
ant nations, tluttered to the ground.
Down the streets of Sandwich the
proud bird trotted with unhunied
but dangerous steps. Through gaunt-
let Of citizens he ran, Indian like, turn
ing his beak from right to left with
each new step to peck at some venture
some bystander or Over-ardent pur-
suer. It looked for a time as If the
bird would not be captured. But ne
finally came to q man whose attitude
was not hostile. With scarcely
struggle the eagle gave in.
His captor was Clyde Thornton, 81
Peters street, an American citizen.
During the remainder of the day the
Sandwich residents made tentative
peace offerings in the form of pieces
of meat. The bird accepted them un-
graciously.
His name is Roosevelt, Thornton in
sists.

A Preacher Fisherman.

He couldn't get rich preaching. so he
gave it up and went fishing. After Il
seasons work with q salmon fishing
crew he had enough money to buy
tickets to Norway for his wife. their
four children and himself. Now Rev.
II. 3. Nyoen, former pastor Of the
Norwegian Baptist church Of Tacoma,
WASH. is on his way to Norway where
he says preaching is more lucrative
than in America.
His desire for money was due en-
tirely to his longing to return to Nor
way. When his earnings as a fisher
man were sufficient to buy the tickets
he was willing to quit fishing. He will

NOTHING UNREAL ABOUT THIS
Only an IdeaIist Would Have Ex-
pected Anything Else From the
Modern GiIded Youth.

Editor George Horace Lorimer was
talking in Philadelphia club about
realism.
''Tve got no time for realists," he
said, because they paint human ma
ture worse than it is. Here's typ
zeal realist story for you:
"a pretty girl was engaged to two
young men simultaneously, and one
evening the parlor maid came to her
and said in scared voice:
"'Oh, Miss Bessie, them two gents
what you're engaged to has called to-
ge1hcr, and somehow they've found
out about both engagements
"The pretty girl threw her cigarette
into the fire pettishly.
"What the dickens shall l dog she
exclaimed.
But the parlor maid smiled JOY
fully.
"'Tll tell you what to do. Miss Bes-
Sic she said. I'll go downstairs and
your pop has lost all his money. Then
you can be engaged for keeps to the
gent what stays
"That seems good PLAN" said the
pretty girl, and she lit another cig;l
rette ANA waited.
'The maid was gone about three
minutes Then she returned with a
frightened look on her white face.

Expenses Low in Australia.

It is hard to imagine in This coun-
try, but. according to Mark Sheldon.
Australian trade representative, his
country is in class by itself so far
as the cost of living is concerned.
Living costs have increased but 80
per cent, and Il fOur-room cottage rents
for from $50 to S25 a month. There is
no l. w. w. and employers and labor
unions are forced by law to arbitrate
There is no new tax to pay the war
debt, and the country has three crops
of wheat to put on the market, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sheldon. Soldiers are

PLACE LIBRARY IN
EVERY COMMUNITY

Washington, April .4-Only 90
per cent of the population Of Vir-
ginia has access to free public libra
ries, leaving almost 100000 per
sons not provided with free library
service, according to the estimate of
United States bureau OF education.

American Library association Of
ficiaIs declare that this lack, as re-
vealed by statistics of public library
development recently compiled by
p. F. Claxton. commissioner of edu-
cation. will give residents of Vir-
ginia a conception of the benefit to
be derived from the Books For
Everybody movement launched by
the association. To devote to the
task OF making public library serv-
ice a vital influence in every Ameri-

The report for Virginia shows only
eighteen libraries that are classed as
free public libraries, containing
92,asl volumes and serving a pop
ulation of 1902 persons, leaving
1864, $40 persons without access to
libraries. In the Judgment of the
bureau of education, the smallest
library that can usually be depend
ed on TO render an adequate service
is one of 5000 volumes. Only eight
Libraries in the state. measured by
this standard, can be termed uni

sons practically deprived of the help
of an institution which, more than
any other, promotes adult seIf-educa-
ton. In ninety-four counties there
Is no library with as many as 5000
volumes. Six counties have library
of this size. which might serve as a
nucleus for county library system.

the best method of reaching the rural

SAVING week
STARTS HERE MAY 3

Posters will be distributed through
out the city this week by the Boy
Scouts advertising the campaign to be
conducted by Richmond auxiliary to
the Children's Home society OF Viz
ginia the week of May ., which mas
been designated Child Saving Week.
These posters will be exhibited In
store windows and in the homes of
citizens Interested in saving the TO-,
600 boys and girls WHO have had no
chance OF becoming useful citizens.
Workers have discovered that most
of these youngsters are impoverished
In body, growing up surrounded by
vice and ignorance and the prey of
all that is out of keeping with child
nature. To rescue them when young
1t is contended. is the only way to save
them and 1t is up to the people of
Vfrginia's capital to do large part
of the work. Mrs. John SHELTON Will
liams, president of the auxiliary. en-
phasizes that these youngsters are
more than ninety-eight per cent ma
tive born, and she would remind the
public that when one of these chill
dren has been taken by the society
and after being put in proper con-
dttion, is adopted in a Christian home
it is no longer an expense to the
state. Children placed in orphan
ages continue to cost either the STATE
or the church.
Each of the wards OF the society is
carefully examined, mentally and
physically. before being offered for
adoption, and only those in perfect
condition are allowed TO go into pri-
vate homes. Many of the $500
placed within the last few years are
doing excellently and are a Joy to
their foster parents

Highland Park gets 1t in good con-
dition making 1t ready either to find
a permanent home or to go TO a
hospital or institution suited to its in
dividual needs. One dollar secures
membership in the organization and
helps the good work along. It is
for these two amounts which the
public will be asked, and much Of
the money viii he used for the aid OF
needy little people right here in this
