Collie Dog on
 Forty Day Fast

Carried out into Lake Ontario on a cake of floating ice when he was try ing to cross the St. Lawrence more than a month ago, Royal, a pedigreed black collie dog belonging to H. D. Cole, Ot Clayton, N Y., is today back with his master after 40 days lonely vigil on the shores of Wolf Island.
 Royal is believed to have suffered his adventures through his desire to find two little playmates, children of a Clayton family, who moved across the river to Glenfeld on March 1, Once on the river Royal was swept far from shore on floating cake of ice, finally landing at Wolf Island, in Canadian territory.
 His absence from home could not be accounted for. Finally Mir. Cole read, carly in March, of sailors having sight ed a dog floating on a cake of ice in Lake Ontario. Later he heard of farm CTS on Wolf Island finding a black dog on the shore By telephone he learned that the animal would not eat, but main tained a lonely vigil up and down the less waters in vain in the direction from which he had come.
 Rough weather prevented boat from reaching the l5lltid, and 1t was alter a delay of three days at the hamlet of St. Lawrence that Cole was able to reach tho island in a boat. With the assist ancc of Wolf Islanders he secured the shore for the collie, which was finally found in a cave The animal recognized his master at once, but was to weak to rise.
 The dog was carried to the farm house of Frank Conley, and there, for the first time in over 40 days, broke his fast by partaking of some warm milk He was then taken to Clayton, where ne is being cared for as tenderly as a child
 The parents of the collie were ex- hibited in New York City on one occa- sion and won the plaudits of J. Pier pOnt Morgan, who declared they were the finest ever bred

Since the beginning of railways the railway man has lived i'll a continual atmosphere of nerve-tensing uncertainty while on duty. It's this element of chance and dealing with the unexpected that has made the average tranman even more fatalistic than the sailor and served to create the great number of superstitions that speedily took hold with the old-timers.

SCIENTIFICALLY DESCRIBED


 If you had been carried off by q wild animal when you were baby, and had been reared among the lower ami malls like Tarzan of the Apes, you would neither be able to speak nor stand erect, but would walk on all-fours.
 This astonishing statement is made in The Science of Ourselves" a book by Sir William B. Fuller, British scientist
 Rome, according to fable, was founded by twins. rescued, suckled and raised by a she-Wolf That may have been true says Fuller. He claims that in India, children frequently are carried off by wolves but not killed. Kip1ing wrote his Jungle Book around such a boy char aCter.
 During the last 80 years" says Fuller, at least nine of these children have been rescued from their wolf foster-parents. l myself saw two of the children who were rescued from the wolves when they grew too large to en- ed any traces of human manners. They ran on all-fours. They had no articu- late speech, And they preferred the so- ciety of dogs to that of men,"
 Even long subsequent association with
  Fuller. A wolf-child rescued in the Agra district of India was kept in the SeCundra Missionary Asylum from 1867 to 1895. He was discovered sitting in the company of a wolf at the entrance to a burroW. During his 28 years stay i'll the asylum, he never attained a com pletely erect position. He never learned to speak. And his sole accomplishment was that he came to use his fingers instead of WOlfng the food"
 Sir Fuller's book has created a sen satiOn among scientists. It has exploded many theories advanced about the origin of language, a mystery that has never been explained.
 A pupry brought up apart from dogs grows into a normal dog, with canine manncrisms and barking. Sc does a l,.Ch matched by a chicker. Why, then, is man different? You cannot answer. But do you realize, more strongly than ever before. the tremendous importance of proper babyhood?
 The fate of grown man or woman is determined by environment and care during babyhOOd.
 A whole lifetime cannot undo the evil l effects of a baby's neglect or unfair | treatment.
 The odds are ten to one, that a child | Taicsd by human wolf or in WOlf1sh surroundings can never mature into a 1 normal being.

Pennsylvania
LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. Z, 1921

Besides the disposition of several lots
of old tobacco, chiefly 1917 and 1919,
by the Tobacco Auction Sales Co.,
nothing of Importance has taken place
since the big Eisenlohr purchase of
$500 cases 1920 tobacco. Of the 1921
crop A. M Slade in Leaf says:
The 1921 crop is still held by the
growers; where it is quite certain to
remain if assurances of several repre-
sentatives of big outside concerns go
for anything. 1t is quite evident that
general business conditions are having
their effect on the tobacco market, and
this business seems tied up with the
same unsertainty as attends ali other
lines of business. While it has all along
been predicted that the new crop would
not move until after the holidays, the
early part of January was set as buy
ing time But now several buyers for
some of the biggest outside concerns
advance the buying time to February.
Like last year, the crop will be bought
ou its merits Good crops will be taken
at what the market will warrant, and
poor tobacco will be appraised accord
ingly Apparently the days Of whole
sale buying are over.
