MONSTERS OF SEA IN BATTLE
Captain Sees Hundreds of Whales Dy-
ing After Desperate Fight With
SWordfish.

London, England.-That the mon
sters of the deep fight in groups as well
as engage in personal encounters, is
testified to by Capt. G. Evered Poole,
a commissioner in the Gold Coast col
ony who writes the following to his
brother:
Between Sierra Leone and Sekondi
we steamed through, for over an hour,
a blOod-red sea and saw hundreds of
whales dead or dying on the surface
of the water. Some were just able to
move slowly along; few, If any,
could move quickly. There must have
been sanguinary battle, supp osed to
have been put up by swordfish.
"It was a most appalling sight, and
the extent of the bloody expanse must
have represented the death Of many
more whales than were visible. No
one on our ship had ever seen or even
heard Of anything approaching such
a spectacle before"

DOG STANDS GUARD 3 DAYS
Keeps Long Vigil on Sweater That
Master Told Him to
Watch.

Charles City, LAS faithful as a
dog has been forcefully brought to
the attention of this community by the
faithfulness of the dog owned by Har-
ry Uhe.
Uhe went to his farm to fell some
trees and laid heavy sweater on the
ground previous to engaging in his
work and babe the dog, which had
accompanied him, to watch the
sweater.

VIEW PROPOSAL
FOR LOAN BASIS
NEEDY VETERAN CAN GET CASH

AMOUNT.
RRAllAE or nKlElA
SERVICE CERTIFICATE
PLAN AGREED UPON TENTA-
lively BUT UNANl-
MOUSLY.
(western Newspaper Union News serrice.)

N0-'-0N''
Washington.-A compromise sol
diers' bonus plan under which the
cash feature would be eliminated
where the former service men would
be entitled to more than $50 adjusted
service pay, was agreed upon tenta-
lively, but unanimously, by a special
subcommittee of the Republican MEM
bers of the House ways and means
committee.
In the nature of a substitute for
the discarded cash feature there would
be added to the adjusted service GER
tificate title a provision which would
enable the men selecting the certifi-
cate the option to obtain Immediately
from banks loan equal to one-half of
the adjusted service pay to which they
would be entitled on the basis of 81 a
day for domestic service and $1.25 a
day for overseas service.
In announcing the compromise
agreement, Chairman Fordney said 1t
would take some time before all de-
tails of the loan provision could be
worked out and the original bill
amended to conform to it. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the plan
would be so well received by House
members generally that it would not
be necessary to submit the new bill to
a party conference, thus speeding up
the time of its submission to the
House.
Chairman Fordney and other COM
mitteemen said they believed the new
plan would meet with general favor,
in and out of Congress, for three rea-
sons, which were summarized as fol-
lows, in a formal statement issued by
Representative Green of Iowa, ranking
Republican on the committee:
zone The needy veteran can OBJ.

is issued and by the cash plan of the
original bill.

table both to President Harding and
to officers Of the American Legion,
and after there had been informal ex-
changes of views among members in
cloak rooms and corridors, it was said
that apparently strong sentiment in
favor of the new proposal was de-
velOping.
Representative Garner of Texas,
the ranking Democrat on the ways
and means committee, said that while
there probably would be some opposi'
ton from the Democratic side, it was
his opinion that a majority Of the
Democrats would support the amend.
ed bill. He thought the loan feature
would tend to expand credits in the
extent of half a billion dollars and
thus result in some increase in the
cost of living during the expansion
period.

SUGAR CANt BUYERS WARNED
Pest in Louisiana Causes
Great Damage

A. & NJ. College, Miss, Nov. 3
Few sugar cane growers in Mississ-
ippi realize their good fortune I'm not
having to contend with the sugar
cane moth borer" is the statement
made today by r. w. Harmed, State
Entomologist, who has just return
ed from an inspection trip in the
large sugar plantation section OF
South Louisiana. He reports that
I'm some cases every stalk in u field
was infested from bottom to top,
causing a reduction of 80 per cent to
so per cent in the yield, while the
quality OF the sirup is affected con-
siderably by the juices from the mil
lions of worms that are crushed
with the cane.
This sugar cane moth borer has
been found on a few farms along the
Mississippi Coast west OF Biloxi, but
the State Plant Board is striving
hard to keep it from spreading to
the interior Mosaic disease, another
serious pest OF sugar cane, occurs in
several counties in South Mississippi
ANY person buying sugar cane in
planting purposes should be very
careful that it does not come from a
farm that has either one of these
pests. Posters, bulletins, or ther

They developed this theme exhaus-
lively, Dwight usually speaking in the
third person and always with his

1t was inconceivable, the gusto with
which they proceeded. Ina had as
sumed for the purpose an air distrait,
casual, attentive to the scene about
them. But gradually her cheeks be-
gan to burn.
She'll cry" Lulu thought in alarm,
and said at random: "Ina, that hat Is
so pretty-ever so much prettier than
the old one" But Ina said frostily
that she never saw anything the mat
ter with the old one.
Let us talk" said Ninian low, to
Lulu. "Then they'll simmer down.
He went on, in an undertone, about
nothing in particular. Lulu hardly
heard what he said, 1t was so pleasant

pleasantly aware that his manner was

In the nick Of time the lobster was

Dinner and the play-the show, as
Ninian called 1t. This show was
"Peter Pam" chosen by Ninian be-
cause the seats cost the most of those
at any theater. 1t was almost inde-
cent to see how Dwight Herbert, the
immortal SOUL had warmed and melt
ed at these contacts. By the time
that all was over, and they were at
the hotel for supper, such was his
pleasurable excitation that he was
once more playful, teasing, once more
the irrepressible. But now his Ina
was to be won back, made II evident
that she was not one lightly to over
look, and fine firmness sat upon the
little doubling chin.
They discussed the play. Not one
of them had understood the story.
The dog-kennel part-wasnt that the
queerest thingf Nothing to do with
the rest of the play.
II was for the pirates. The one
with the hook-he was my STYLE" said
Dwight.
"Well, there 1t is again." Ina cried.
"They didn't belong to the real play,
either"
"Oh, WELL" Ninian said, "they have
to put in parts, suppose, tO catch
everybody Instead of song and
dance, they do.that"
"And / didn't understand" said Ina,
"why they all clapped when the prin-
cipal character ran down front and
said something to the audience that
time. But they all did"
N1nfan thought this might have
been out of compliment. Ina wished
that Monona might have seen, con-
fessed that the last part was so pretty
that she herself would not look; and
into Ina's eyes came their lOveliest
light.
Lulu sat there, hearing the talk
about the play. "Why couldn't have
said that?' she thought as the others
spoke. All that they said seemed to
her apropos, but she could think of
nothing to add. The evening had been
to her light from heaven-how
could she find anything to say7 She
sat in daze of happiness, her mind
hardly operative, her look moving
from one to another. At last Ninian
looked at her.
"Sure you like : it, Miss Lulu"
"Oh, yesl I think they all took
their parts real WELL"
1t was not enough. She looked at
