BANK OPENING PLAN
 NEAR TIME LIMIT

''The man who is holding back his signature to the depositors' plan for the opening of the Central Bank of Phoenix is comparable to the man on a sinking ship who runs to the life boat ahead of the women and chil- dren.
 The foregoing is the opinion of the depositors' committee in charge of the plan of rehabilitation in consid- ering those few depositors who are refusing to sign the agreement on in any event and that they will get their money after their fellow deposit tors have done the work.
 In answer to these the committee emphasized the fact yesterday that the signature of every depositor must be obtained if the plan is to be put into effect. This requisite is de- manded by the state banking off cials, who will not be satisfied with anythinp else The state has also placed time limit upon the activi- ties of the committee in its efforts to reopen the bank, If the signatures are not obtained, or if the time limit expires before the plan is signed 100 ner cent. a receiver will be ap- pointed and the affairs of the bank vii be entirely out of the hands of the depositors.
 depositor cooperate with the com mittee. especially in furnishing any information they may have of the addresses of depositors who they know have left town. This is be- coming a vital consideration with the committee and now makes up the greater part of its work.

Phoer1ix Hen Is Mother To Four
 S mall Kittens

D. L.. Kane of Virginia avenue is a man of unquestionable yer acftv, but if he were not, he could bring a cloud of witnesses, all ms neighbors living north of the city, to testify to what is herelnafter set forth, a hens strange manl- festation of mother love.
 The other day Mir. Kane noticed the hen apparently on a nest out side the enclosure where he keeps his chickens. She apeared to be setting, with wings outspread. He stopped to pick her up and throw her over the fence. As he put his him. He uttered howl and stepped away from the nest. He feared that the hen had formed an illicit relation with a rattlesnake. snake.
 He then moved her with the toe of his boot and disclosed four small kittens which the hen again immediately hovered. It was then that Mir. Kane summoned wit nesses, and since then the hen and kittens have been under neighborhood surveillance.
 A stray cat came to Mir. Kane's place some weeks ago and he had noticed her and the hen much to- gether. He has observed them more closely since this incident. The cat returns from foraging trips and the kittens are then fed for though the hen can afford them all the protection they need, she is unable to give them sustenance to speak of. The cat continues to discharge that function.
