A QUIET SUNDAY

Orland Beach. Fla, Jan. c5.-The
houseboat Victoria, on which Prcsi-
dent-elect Harding is cruising down
the Indian river, made her first stop
here today and disembarked her pas
scngers for a two-hour motor ride.
This stop and a brief tie-up. when the
Victoria tried to go thru the Ormond
draw bridge, were the only incidents
of "a peaceful Sundays sailing.
Taking advantage OF perfect weather
she pushed ahead of her schedule. and
when she tied up for the night she
was within a few hours of Rock Ledge
where tho party expects to go ashore
tomorrow for golf.
During the automobile ride, Mr.
Harding and his companions drove to
Daytona eight miles away, and brought
back Senator Cummns OF Iowa to join
the vacation party. Under hot sun.

of the guests at tho hotel here learned
OF his arrival until after tho Victoria
resumed her journey.
The trouble at the drawhridEe held

My Fourteen Mile Hike

Frank Altman and I started out
with about twenty or thirty apples
and some raisins. Frank had a can
teen and a camera, and l had a. stick
We started east towards Baxter.
which is about five miles east of
town. On the way out. we could sec
on our right many farms, while on our
left was the prairie, with the cedars
few miles away, and rising above it.
Pixies Peak.
Out near Baxter, Frank stood right
near the railroad track and took a
picture of the engine of train as it
passed.
Finally VIC came to Baxter. At
Baxter. the American Sugar Refining
company has a storage corral and "A
beet-dump. We watched while three
wagons were loaded up and taken
to the dump and tipped over so that
the beet5 would all roll out.
From tho beet dump we went south
to the river. We were very thirsty,
so we drank our fill from Frank S
canteen. and then sat down to eat a
few apples. While we were hero
started to throwing rocks in tho river
and came near staying there until
dark, throwing at things floating
down and at things along the banks.
Pretty soon we started on south
again UP the hill to the Santa Fe
were headed for home.
The sun went down while VIC were
still about five miles out and we had
to make most OF the way in darkness.
When it was good ana dark Frank
showed me some different stars and
told mo the names of them.
Sometimes we were blinded by the
autom obile headlights. We would
have to walk away out to the side
OF the road when one passed. When
ever we We're near n sign when ar
automobile passed We always tried tc
see what the sign said. We would
see one that said .3 Miles to Pueblo
on it, and then when we had gone a
little way further we would SEQ one
that said "3A miles to Pueblo" To
Judge by those signs we must have
been walking backwards part of the
time.
We arrived home about 7 o'clock.

YOUNG 1RAPPERS NEEO
NOT HAVE EXPENSIVE
LAYOUT EQUIPMENT

An elaborate and expensive equip
ment is not necessary for trapping.
For a few dollars the beginner can get
all of tho traps he can take care OF
properly. Practically all hardware
stores carry a line of traps suitable
for tho animals found in their vicinity.
Most trapping is done with steel
traps. Tho size of the trap depends
upon the size of the animal to be
trapped. There Is a size for every ami
NAL. Traps are usually ordered by
number. The smallest size is the No.
y. 1t is sometimes used for muskrats.
but is better suited for trapping
goPhers. The proper trap for the small
fur bearing animals is the No. 1. 1t
may be used for muskrats, skunks and
mink, altho the No -. is known as tho
mink trap. Tho No. is sometimes
called a fox trap, but may be used
Tor badgers and coyotes as we'll Tho
best trap for coyotes is the No 3 The
No. is used for wolves and beavers.
The largest traps are the Nos. and S.
They arc used only for bear.
The beginner will not need over
thirty traps at the most A good
equipment, as suggested by Harold
Lucas of the Agricultural College at
Fort Collins, would consist OF six No.
: for coyotes and fox. twelve No. u.
for skunk and mink. and twelve No. 1
Tor muskrats. IT Is better TO have fewer
sets and have them more carefully
placed and better tended than to start
out too ambitiously. The amateur
should he careful to have traps largo
enough to hold the animal he is after.
for ono animal escaping from "A small
trap may represent the price of a
dozen new traps. New traps should be
buried in the ground until they arc
black.
Trapping should not begin too carly
in the season. Unless the fur has had
time to grow and set. the pclt will not
bc worth much. This does not mean
that the trapper should be idle during
the fall and carly winter. He should bo

about the animals he is after. tho
greater will be his success.

WHY
DO Dogs "Shakc Hnnds- with the Left
Paw:
Copyright. 1920. BY Tho Wheeler
Syndicate Incl

Copyright. 1920. BY Tho Wheeler
Syndicate. lnc)
Almost everyone who has shaken
hands with "a dog has noticed that
the animal lifts its left paw instead
OF its right, and this has led many per-
sons to the suppositiun that animals
are left handed" by nature. Tho real
explanation OF tho matter, however.
has nothing to do with the habitual
use OF tho left or right paw, but hinges
upon the fact that aS per cent OF hu-
man beings arc right-handed and that
practically 100 per cent of them would
never dream of Offering tho left hand
in "A friendly greeting.
As result. when "A person stands
in front of a dog and holds out his
right hand. this hand Is directly oppn-
site the left paw or the dog. and the
animal, following the line Of least re-
sistancc, offers his left hand" in
stead OF the right. Moreover. in teach
ing "A dog to shake hands" the mas
ter will almost Invariably catch hold
OF the left paw. so the ddg-in addition
to following his naturnl inclination
Is really only doing something that ho
had been taught to do and is not Civ
ing any evidence OF the "loft-handod-
ness Of animals" as some Investigators
would have us believe.

recting the secretary of the treasury
to collect interest due on allied debts,
the found to be set aside for the bills

why Is 1t the governments cannot
pay their interest? Senator Norris
asked. adding that in some cases 1t
probably was impossible, and in a few
instances that thA entire loans would
be lost.

take. tho Institution of the system
whereby men in service during the

take he proposed that the government
return the money turned over for allot-
mont PURPOSES. He said he had been
advised this amounted to about three
hundred and fifty million dollars and
would benefit those most needing a
