HER LIFE FOR HER PUPPIES
AiredaIe Never Hesitated When Called
Upon to Make the Supreme
Sacrifice to Duty.

Again mother has given her life
for her young.
This time the setting Is the San
Francisco waterfront, down where
whistles scream. hOists squeal and
rattle, engines chug and there Is me-
chanical ensemble Of industrial noise
the long day through. The principals
are dogs-a wiry-haired Airedale
mother and her four puppies
A scow was home to the canine FAM
lily. One day a swell overturned the
basket in which the pups lay, and ov-
erboard they went There was no
human aid near. But the mother
leaped to the rescue Of her drowning
offspring One by one she brought the
little pups to safety. But before she
could reach the last one 1t drowned.
Men found her on deck, still holding
the body of the dead puppy, and with
the three others scrambling and whn-
ing around her. The mother was too
exhausted to move. They sent for a
physician, but when he arrived the
J rescued pups were orphans.
To the burden Of her own six pups
an Irish setter who lives aboard the
same scow, has added the care q
three foster Children, the orphans Of
the Airedale mother.

Anniversaries Of Independence oeelar'
alton and Landing Of the Pill
urims Are Both Near.

Our country approaches two notable
dates Ia It's history.
Philadelphians have already begun
to talk about great international
celebration for 1926 to commemorate
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of independence.
But next year comes still more
historic birthday. 1t will be 300 years
next November since the pilgrims land
ed in America, writes "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Press.
People refer constantly to them as
the "Pilgrim Fathers" but as Roland
Usher, in his book points out. "Fa-
Tiers" is scarcely justified title.
OF the 1O2 persons who came over
In the Mayflower. only nine had
reached forty years of age. But two
OF them were fifty.
Thirty nine were children and there
were 20 grownup women, one OF whom
was unmarried. AS there were z;
bachelors on board the Mayfower

Premium orUnitedStatesBonds

A Washington dispatch says that
Liberty bonds will command a premium
on the market within the next two
years. in the opinion of John SHELTON
Williams. controller of the currency.
Mr.. Williams declares that holders OF
Liberty bonds need have no reason to
worry over present market conditions
Mr.. Williams said the low quotations
offered investors an extraordinary OPP
portunity to obtain at attractive fig
ures the best security In the world.
II see no reason why anybody should
worry about the market price Of Lib
erty bonds" said Mr.. Williams. The
bonds constitute as good an investment
as there Is. The government did no,
promise to pay on demand. It prom
ised to pay at maturity. and 1t will
keep its word. II anybody thinks h.
can use his money in any other way to
better advantage, he must expect tv
take it at loss at the present time.
II believe that within two years or
less the bonds will be up to par and
will command a premium.
The people of this country need
have no doubt of the ability OF this ma
ton now and always to meet in full
every obligation and commitment.
ANY suggestion that the government
refund the bonds at a higher rate OF
interest is unthinkable. Why should
the government do anything of the
sort? There is no reason why the
. government should do so from any
standpoint
Discussing the conditions which
| caused the present decline in marke

9 need not for the present require
national banks to mark down tn

, tons contained a proviso that bank

Franklin X. Lane. former secretary
of the interior. In an address in Low
Angeles a few days ago outlined a
plan he said he was working out for
impounding the waters of the Colorado
river and the irrigation Of 100000
acres Of land in the southwest. The
plan includes making the Grand Can

The land to be irrigated. Mr.. Lane
declared, must lie idle until somebody

ity to create an engineering organiza-

Grand Canyon for the purpose Of
spreading it over vast unproductive
area which the world will presently
need"
Mr. Lane said he lately had had en-
gineers of his own at work upon the
plan Discussing his irrigation plan.
