DOG RELAYS CALL Of PHONE
WeII.Trained Animal Said Never to
Make. a Mistake In Notifying.
His Aistraaa-

Not far from Boston lives a dog by
the name Of Timbuctoo, a dog which
has never been trained but which OF
its own accord acquired a "trick"
which besides being clever is decidedly
helpful. His home Is on a farm, which
Is served by a s%even-party telephone
line. The call at Tmbuctoo's house
is Eve bells, or as the toll operator
would say, "Ring fve." Wherever his
mistress Is when the telephone rings
Ave times Timbuctoo will go to her
and give FIVE short, sharp barks. He
has never been known to make q mis'
take, either by barking more or less
than five barks, OF by calling his mis-
tress when the bell rings some other
call.
In order to "show off T~lmbuctoo,"
his mistress asks a neighbor to call
her in a few minutes, then she goes
somewhere out Of range Of the tele-
phone, and Timbuctoo never fails to
give proof Of his trustworthy sum-
m0ning.

Cadets Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadets
Of Victoria, B. c., have recently COM
pleted a .1,4O04mile ride on bicycles,
bearing dispatches from the state COM
mandant to the minister for defense.
The small riders averaged more than
IA miles an hour, and they completed
their task 6 hours and % minutes
ahead Of schedule. This fine perform
ance reused public interest in the new
system of cadet training, which has
taken the place Of the monotonous
drill-yard. evolutions. Australia Is
training its youngest soldiers In
c%amaraderie, self-sacriice, alertness
and a love of athletics. The story of
the 1,400-mile ride against unex'
pected obstacles has set q standard
which will not be easily forgotten by
the Australian boy. While the dis
patch ride has done much to direct
attention to a happier system of train
ing, it has also served to awaken the
interest Of fathers and elder brothers.

Marconi was born. Had 1t not been
for the attitude Of big newspapers and
the s%tubbornness and lack of vision OF

enjoying the honor. distinction and
credit of presenting wireless telegra-
ply to the world. The name Of this
comparatively unknown inventive gen.
ius Is Mahlon Loomis. Back In the
sixties and seventies he eked out q
modest living by plugging molars and
making store teeth for the politi-
clans and social leaders Of Washing
ton, Doctor LOOMS called his disc0y-
cry "aerial telegraphy." His first, pub
lie demonstration was made in 1865
from the two peaks of the Blue Ridge
mountains In Virginia, some ID miles
apart. From each peak an ordinary
kite was elevated, connected with an
insulated copper wire attached at the
lower end to a '~telegraphing appa-
ratus. The operators Of each party
were provided with telescopes. with
which they could sight from one sta
ton to the other and read the signals.
When all was In readiness a message
was sent by the doctor along the wire
Of his kite, and was received at the
station on the other mountain top just
as though the two kites had been con-
nected with a wire In the ordinary
way. In this manner communications
were kept up until the fact was thor
oughly demonstrated that telegraphing
could be done as readily without as
with Connecting wires.

LOWER INTEREST
WILL BE SOUGHT

Washington, April 166.-What may
lead to an amalgamation on the part
Of the Southerners and Westerners in
the senate for the protection of agri-
cultural interests had its incipiency
tins afternoon in a conference be-
tween Senators Smith. of South Caro-
tnal Capper Of Kansas and Gooding
Of Idaho. It was agreed that the
general plan is excellent and that
other senators from the two sections
should be Immediately called for the
purpose Of devising a program. It
was also agreed to state the case Of
the farmers of the country, problems
of which are identical, it was said, to
President Harding, with an appeal
that the rate of interest charged by
the federal reserve banks be reduced
and extension of credits be made pos

@'There is no question:, said Sena-
tor Smith, 'that if the representatives
in congress from agricultural states
forget politics, parties and the rivalry
of sections, and in solution of agri-
cultural. problems work for the farm

We have initiated such an organiza-
ton. There is every reason to be-
ieve that it will be successful"
Senator Smith is convinced that as
a result of the interview he and other
senator's will have with the president
the fiscal agencies of the government
will adopt a more liberal policy of
lending money and extending credits

PROFESSORS MAKES
. GREAT DISCOVERY

Finds Horse Wearing Pair of Glasses
on Third Floor of Class Room
Anderson, April 16.-The Daily
Mail says.
You may think Due West folks
don't do things, but they do! Just the
other morning, Professor Blank, one
Of the learned members of the facul-
sy of Erskine college, discovered a
horse that wore spectacles. And at
tended classes on the third floor of
The main building. The discovery was
so great a shock that the professor
was completely non-plussed and for,
got to work the wireless on the roof
of the chapel and spread the news to
the Daily Mail and other good papers
Of the Piedmont.
Fact is, what the professor in
question said about the discovery,
has been censored. The dark curtain
of secrecy has been pulled over it,
just because it happened in Due
West, doncher know" Nevertheless,
the story has worked its way to An
derson through that well worn chan
uel-the grapevine route-and the
sreIess station at Due West, which is
usually dismantled on Sunday, won't
Axve a chance to fash anything about
It.
According to a good news source
PROFESSOR Blank has recently bought
4 horse and buggy. Having heard
Of the plot of the Anyard Oil com.
pany to charge more than double
full for gasoline a little later,
this dear soul, who the college boys
would have you believe wears pink
socks and a monocle, bought the
horse and buggy just for the express
ed purpose of riding by the female
college in Due West-a privilege de-
MED the Erskine boys under threats
of death.
So the boys decided to start some
shing. The next morning when Pro-
lessor Blank walked into his class
room on the third floor, he found a
new pupil" There stood a horse
hitched to a buggy. The buggy was
loaded to capacity with books of all
kinds, while the, horse was decorated

fitted snugly over the end of his nose.

lie said over his shoulder as he made
for the door. "Some Of you boys get
that thing out of here"
The boys declared half holiday and
slowly took down the buggy, piece by
piece and carried it down stairs.
Then tying the feet of the horse to-
gether, they laid him down on his
back and slowly and gently slid him
