CLEAR LAKE, MINI. April 10
When the owner of a dog and nine
puppies turned them out without
food and refused to feed them any
longer, the mother cog did just what
a. human mother would have done in
similar circumstances. She went
from door to door begging food for
her little ones.
The dog would scratch at the back
doors of Clear Lake houses and when
opened she would look into the face
of the person who came and then at
her half-starved puppies, tellir as
elouuently as she knew how that
they were in need.
Her appeal was always needed and
food was provided for the wanderers
But in every instance the mother
dog hungry as she must have been,
refused to touch any of the food I'M
til her little ones had had all they
wanted. .,- g..

To De FOLLOWED BY
LARGER OPERATIONS

NEW YORK. April 16.-Spirited
competition for the limited current
business in the steel market was
thought in business circles to have
precipitated the succession of price
cutting announcements by both the
United States Steel Corporation and
several independents. No marked
increases in buying was noted. how
ever.
With the announcements to be fol-
lowed by similar ones from other
steel-makers came word that some
of the idle mills are soon to resume
operations, bringing back to work
not few of the unemployed.
The day brought average drops of
So ton in the price of steel pipe
and declines on sheet steel quota
tons which varied from 81 TO $14

plates, structural iron and other
products were lowered by many in
dependents as far back as last Feb
ruary, and on Tuesday of this week
the United States Steel Corporation
followed their lead. 1t was under
stood today that the corporation ex-
pected within a short time to cut
it's prices on piping and tubes.

Rosebush Thrives in
Chinaberry Limb

JULIETTE, Ga, April 16.-The
limb of chinaberry tree, three
inches in diameter, with the canes
and leaves of a rosebush literally
wood and as vigorous as if growing
in the ground, was the remarkable
freak of nature discovered this week
in Tindall's field, near. Mercer uni
versity, by ]. T. Davis and c. r.
Johnson. AS the rose was not yet
in bloom, it was impossible to ascer-
tain it's variety with accuracy, al
though the indications are that it
was one of the hardy hybrid perpet-
uals, and of bush form rather than
climber. The longest of the canes
protrudirg from the chinaberry limb
was quite as large as the average
cane of a well-established bush where
it springs from the ground, and these
canes were armed with stout thorns
of more than average size.

Are Ready to Lend
Money on Cotton
Warehouse Receipts

According to an announcement
made Saturday afternoon by Martin
Amorous, president of the Cotton
Warehouses, Inc, the corporation is
now in a position to lend cotton rails
ers money on cotton stored in ware
houses controlled by the corporation,
in any amount up to $250,000.
The plan, according to Mr.. Amor
Gus, has been worked out to aid the
farmer in holding his cotton for
better price. He said Saturday that
loans would be made, beginning
Monday.
President Amorous said that he
believed that as soon as the S25O,OO0
which the corporation has ON hand
now to lend on cotton warehouse re-
ceipts, is put in circulation it should
liquidate at least $2,500,000 in debts.
He explained this by saying that the
dollar paid by the farmer to the ner-
chant would in turn be paid by the
merchant to the jobber. thence to
the manufacturer, and so on down
the line, each dollar helping l1qul-
date many debts.
II do not believe that the cotton
farmer should be forced to sell his
cotton on low market" said Mr.
Amorous, land I believe that the
money we have to lend the farmers
now holding cotton, will stimulate
trade considerable, and help return
southern business to nOrmalcy.
