OFFICER DODGES
OLD SWORD CANE

One of the old-time weapons. used
extensively years ago. but not popular
in recent years, was uncovered last
night by the Reno police when Officer
Jensen collided with II. C. Gardner,
no relation to Roy, and Z. w. Fisher
The men were making too much noise
in one of the houses in the restricted
district when Jensen told them to
stop. They invited him to stop them,
and then produced a sword cane. 1t
was neat walking stick, but when
the top was pulled off it brought out
with it a razor pointed blade about
fifteen inches long which would make
a good bayonet for an army rifle.
One of the men held the rest of the
cane while the other had the sword
and Jensen, after countering a few
blows, tapped the men on the head
with his night stick and with the as
sistance\ of Officer Mckenzie took
them to the police station. The cane
becomes a part of the souvenir col
lection in Chief Kirkleys Office.
Fisher and Gardner were fined SO for
being drunk.
Edna Green and Mary Rutherford
added the feminine touch to the police
court this morning and were each
fined $40 for disturbing the peace.
Hugh Mcdonald and John Jacobs re
ceived similar sentence for being

WFsSERUNSETT FAIR

Among the stock exhibits at Wes-
serunsett Fair will be a splendid
pair of Hereford cattle owned by
James f. Chapman of Athens and
shown in the accompanying illustra-
lions. These cattle were bought a
year ago by Mr. Chapman of Ed Loom
is. who lives on the Notch road. So
called. in Skowhegan. They measured
at that time seven feet and four inch
es. weighing 3470 pounds. At the pres
ent time they measure eight feet and
weigh about 1000 pounds or a ton
each. As the picture shows. they are
a fine type of Hereford and nicely
matched and have been pronounced
by many as the best pair In the state.
Whether this be true, they are GER
tainly a magnificent pair and should
occasion much interest among lovers
of oxen at the fair this fall These
cattle have been used in the work on
the Chapman farm for the last year
with excellent results.
One of the features that should be
of interest to live stock men is mat
the association is trying to get several

ALASKA-THAT'S ALL

l have just returned from my twenty
fourth trip to Alaska, and write few
lines about that wonderland, says former
Governor William Sulzer of New York
in Roycroft
Alaska is a marvellous land. 1t has the
greatest gold, and iron, and copper, and
lead, and coal, and tin DEPOSITS in North
America. Alaska has s99,466 square miles
of territory-more than 3S3,64s,440 acres
of land-and the greatest fishing waters
in all the world, teeming with the best
food on earth.
Alaska was purchased from Russia for
$7,200,0o0, less than two cents an acre, and
has produced in gold, and silver, and
copper more than seventy times what it
cost-the cheapest bargain in land in the
annals of time. Alaska is fourteen times
the size of the State of New York, and
has more copper than Michigan and
Arizona combined. 1t is one-ffth the size
of the United States and has paid for it.
self more than hundred times over in
real money.
Alaska has known coal-bearing area
larger than all the rest Of, the coal-bear-
ing area of the United States. Alaska
has the greatest cattle and sheep ranges
in the north, and agricultural possibilities
beyond the imagination of the finite mind
"a mighty land is Alaska that welcomes
heroic men.

The phrase, ITO show the white feather"
meaning to show cowardice, is an express
sion which rose from the fact that white
feather in the tail of a fighting cock is
sure sign that he is not thoroughbred.
No doubt one of the most interesting
industries in existence is silk-culture,
which is as old as or older than history.

In ancient times the dinner hour was at
ten o'clock in the morning, and there is
an old, old rhyme which gives sage ad-
vice about eating and sleeping-though
we're not so sure our ancestors lived up
to it:
"Get up at FIVE, and dine at nine;
Take supper at FIVE; 60 to bed at nine;
And you'll live till your years are ninety
and nine"
The famous words, Omitted we stand,
divided we fall" were probably first used
in poem written about 1880, by George
P. Morris. Some years later, in speech
on the preservation of the Union, Daniel
Webster used the line. This is the verse
from Morris poem:
"A song for our banner! The watchword
recall
Which gave the Republic her station:
united we stand, divided we fallP
1t made and preserves US nation!"
We've all seen what we considered
remarkable display of elephant-intelli-
gence in the circus rings and it is true
that the great beasts when properly
trained are wonderfully docile, endowed
with an excellent memory and become
greatly attached to their keepers. How
ever, the elephant lacks initiative and rea-
soning powers. He might see his beloved
keeper attacked at his feet, without offer
ing voluntary assistance; but at word
of direction or command would act in
stantly.

July Wheat Firm
On Short Covering
After Early Drop
Other Positions Easier as
Market Awaits Develop
ments; Receipts Again
Large and Buying Small

CHICAGO, July 30.-There was n
quiet trade in wheat to-day, with inter
est conferred largely in the closing-out
of the July contract. During the
greater part of the day this position
acted heavy owing to n good deal of
pressure, but during the last few min
utes there was good buying by few
belated shorts and this resulted in an
advance of l cent over the previous
final. The other positions moved
within narrow range and closed
barely steady at "a decline to Ac
advance
On the whole, the market was in Il
waiting position, and while the supply
and demand situation was considered
strong. export buying was lacking and
receipts were again large, the total
for the week at interior points being
2i ,954, 900 bushels, or 744,0OO in excess
of the previous weeks record figures.
Crop accounts from Canada were
very favorable and the trade was not
inclined to take an aggressive stand
On the buying side regardless of the
recent very bulhsh private crop fig
ures on the American yields.
The July position in corn advanced
1ac early and held steady most of the
day, but broke at the close and showed
net losses of cents. The late months
were inactive but steady and at the
close were I: to &c net higher. There
were further light showers over the
belt but no general rains.

British Trade i'm Silks
Imports Double i'm Value That
of WooIens

Of imports of all textile nanufac-
lures into the United Kingdom those
of silk are highest in value. In the
first five months of the current wear
they aggregated ss,so3,3 1856 (more than
double the value of woolens and
worsteds imported, and about four
times that of cottons), compared with
s16,20S,802 in the corresponding period
of 1920, and sc, ,245,s24 in January Nav.
1913.
In quantities. both thrown silk and
spun silk yarn this year show notable
decreases contrasted with 1920 and
with the prewar year Piece goods
wholly of silk are recorded in the cur
rent year in square yards, compared
with linear yards in 1920 and 1918, and
the same alteration has been made in
respect of piece goods of silk mixed
witt other materials. Contrasted by
values, however, the former is 23 per
cent less than yeag ago, but 53 per
cent above 1918; while the latter.
though 80 per cent above the pre-war
period, was 73 per cent below 1920.
