BEDTIME STORIES BY THORNTON .e

Great World. This was why Mrs. Bob
was so anxious and so nervous. What
if one of those enemies should come
along today? She might keep still her.
self. but could she keep her babies
still?
Hardly was the first little Bob White
out of his shell when another egg
cracked, and soon several were showing
signs of being broken open. Mrs. Bob
fairly trembled with anxiety as she
watched over that neStful of eggs and
saw one baby after another come out.
Bob came around to see what the news
was and he, too, became nervous.
IN tell you what it is" said Bob
White. III keep watch. I'll sit up in
that tree instead of on the fence post,
and Ill give you warning if 1 see any
danger approaching. If / see any enc
my that I can lead aside, I'll do that
Meanwhile. you stay right with the
babies, my dear. My, my, my, aren't
they wonderful"
Mrs Bob White agreed that they
were, indeed. wonderful, and she agreed
with Bob that his plan was an excel
lent one. So Bob flew up in tree to
keep watch. But he couldn't keep his
tongue still. He just had to whistle
his JOY. Yes, sir. he just had to whistle
his joy. So, though he thought he was
keeping his secret, he was in way
telling it. Way over in the Old Pas
ture Reddy Fox pricked up his ears.
My dear" said he to Mrs. Reddy,
do you hear Bob White? If l know
anything about it, Bob Is unusually
happy and that can mean but one
thing-those eggs have Matched. Now
we shall have to do some looking about
over there. I can't think of anything
that would taste better than dinner
of young Bob Whites. We ought to be
able to get some of them, for Bob
usually has a big family and some OF
them are bound to be careless"
Bob and Mrs. Bob did have big
family There were Is of those babies
when the last egg Matched. Yes, sir,
there were 10 little Bob Whites, and
very little they were 1t didn't seem
as If such tiny folk just out of the
shell could be strong enough to run
about. But they were. Yes, sir. they
were! What is more, they wanted to
run about. Their mother had hard
work to keep the older ones from
straying away before the last egg had
Matched Do you wonder that she
spent a most anxious day?

Rapidly Increased Efficiency.

The first commercial incandescent
lamp consumed about 100 watts and
was rated to give 16 candlepower
horizontally, the equivalent to about
ITO lumens. 1t blackened considerably
during its life. the average amount of
light throughout life being about IS
per cent of initial 1t sold for $1.25
and was considered one of the marvels
of the age.
The present average lamp is rated at
$50 lumens tthe equivalent of about
throughout life being SO per cent
initial. 1t thus gives over five times
the amount of light given by the lamp
of 1881 and consumes about 40 per
cent less current. It's list price is 20
cents less than one sixth that of the
1881 lamp.

While at the General Assembly
the pastor ordered 100 hymnals
for the church. Sixty-three of
these have been spoken for and
we hope the remainder will be
taken up before the bill becomes
due.
A strong recommendation was
made by the General Assembly
that the revised book of worship
be used in all the churches in the

For the first time in five years
the boards of the church came be-
fore the General Assembly with
out a penny of debt. This was
recognized as a most remarkable
achievement.

GO this is June and the national
~ open golf championship is to
be played late this month over the
Winged Foot course at Mama
roneck; N. Y.
In thinking over this coming
event, it seems that there's a
young lawyer named Bobby Jones
and a dashing fellow named Wal
ter Hagen who are entered-and'
we'll. il seems those two fellows
are the ones who should be-and
probably will be-installed as
favorites to win.
It wasn't very difficult to reach
such a conclusion. 1t never mas
been when Jones and Hagen were
in the field. Their superb con-
sistencv over the links, both here
and abroad, make their names pop
up in big letters the moment the
CAB turns around to golf.
There are a number of other
hot golfers who will be after the
open title, but there doesn't APP
near to- be any one who can be
singled out as a fayorite, as Jones
and Hagen can, at this time.

TOMMY FARRELL, the fancy
J dresser who shoots a grand
game of golf, is the defending
hampton. Defending champions
don't often repeat in the open and
there isn't much belief that Mr..
Farrell will. However, don't
count him out.
Outside of Jones and Hagen,
the most prominent entry will be
the juvenile Horton Smith, who's
from Missouri and who has shown
how golf is played in recent
nontbs. His showing was disap-
rcinting in the British open, u
he rallied d few days later and un-
{ rked brilliant golf to WIN the

JOHN WILLIS, GLASGOW,
LOST IN ARIZ. DESERT

Friends of John Willis of Glas.
gov will be interested in this
account of a desert adventure
which he recently had. The story
is taken from the Great Falls
Tribune:
Glasgow, May 27.-An account
has been received by relatives and
friends of an experience of John
Willis, well known former resi-
dent of Glasgow. Mr.. Willis has
spent his manhood in Valley coun-
ty and he and his wife spent two
winters at Yuma, Ariz., for his
health. Friends and relatives
were expecting Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lis home this week when news
of his adventure was received.
Blinded by glare of the sun and
parched by a torturing thirst, two
aged men, one of them a cripple,
have cheated the malevolent sands
of the Luchuguilla desert of it's
prey. Quite s%ingularly, both are
named John Willis. One is 6S
years old and the other is 70.
They are not related.
The pair were found by Deputy
Sheriff J.. G.. Livingston and Vic
tor Gael, lying exhausted in the
meager shade of a mesquite tree
beside the Tinajas Atlas water
hole, about 80 miles from Wellton.
The officers had gone in search of
them when relatives became
alarmed at their prolonged alb
sence and notified Sheriff James
Polhamus.
The two Johns went on an TX
ploring trip. They carried pro
visions and water sufficient for
day and were headed for
Coyote wells, Mrs. Willis told the
sheriff.
After they had recovered from
their narrowing experience, the
young Mr.. Willis gathered with
the old timers and told them of
the trip.
1--WE got about II miles from
Tinajas wells when the automo-
bile got stuck in the sand. We
worked all night trying to get it
out and all the next day. We
drank all of our water and con
tinued working"
Despairing of making their
escape from the treacherous sand,
they drained all the water from
the radiator-a cup full and
drank 1.-THE liquid was coal black
and was strongly favored with oil.
They decided to abandon the
automobile and go/to water They
walked all day and toward eve
ling they were holding one an
other for support. When the bar
'en hills were submerged in
twilight shadows, the elder Mr..
Willis was unable to go any far
her. Both were sun blind and
nelr tongues We're swollen with
hirst. The water hole was with
n a mile and a half.
Leaving his partner near a high
lush, the younger man kept on
cross the sand. He found water
n one of the lower tanks, filed
bottle and started back. They
pent a night at the water hole
nd waited for help.

Four-Y Old Tot
Calls Aid For Mama

Los Angeles.-A young mother,
who shot herself sever times, died
despite the remarkable presence
of mind of her 4-year-old daughter,
which nearly cheated the death
she craved.
While her two little childen,
Luetta, 4, and a 2-year-old baby,
played in the next room, Mrs.
Lydia Young shot herself because
of continued i'll health. Luetta
ran into the bedroom to find her
mother lying on the floor, then

hurried to the telephone and called

Mama is hurt and bleeding all
over" she said.
Young called police, who found
Luetta, trying to quiet the baby.
Rushed to the hospital, Mrs.
Young lived for "a hours.

REV. WALKER BACK
FROM CHURCH MEET

The Rev. S. A. Walker returned
Thursday evening from st. Paul
where he has been attending the
141st general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States. There were 904 voting
commissioners, both lay and cleri-
cal, in attendance, besides many
delegates without votes. In a let
ter written to The Herald before
his return, Rev. Walker said.
"Dr. McCleland B. MacAfee was
elected moderator of this assem-
bly, by a majority of $40 votes,
clearly denoting that the church
as a whole is neither Liberal"
nor fundamental" but progress
sive.
Three gavels were presented to
the moderator. The first was the
official gavel made of three woods,
one of which had been part Of a
canoe used to save the life Of n
of the early missionaries to the
Dakota Indians. The second CAV
ell was really a war club made by
the Pimas, and was made of iron
wood taken from the first tree
pulled up to begin work on the
irrigation project in Box canyon
in order to reclaim the Pimas
land. This was presented by the
Rev. Doctor Dorkhay, Indian mis-
sionary to the Pimas, and one who
has been greatly instrumental in
getting Congress to build said
dam. The third gavel was pre-
scented to DR.. MacAfee as a per-
sonal gift, from Park college
which his father was instrumental
in founding. 1t was made of wood
taken from the first building, also
some taken from the latest build
ing of the college.
Three-Year Fight Settled
1.-THE great issue of the conven
ton is the dispute at Princeton
Theological seminary, the oldest
and greatest seminary of the
church in America. 1t is world
famous for its learning. The fight
is a complicated affair, largely a
matter of r-eactionaries and pro-
gressives, and the decisions of
the assembly as a body, with re
gard to the time given to three
majority and three minority re-
ports on the matter show the mind
of the assembly as a whole is pro-
%gressive. The matter was defn-
itely settled Monday afternoon,
closing a three year dispute.
zone of the addresses given was
from an Italian minister of the
Waldensian church in Rome. The
Waldensians are Presbyterians in
family. He assured us that the
Italian government had made laws
for protection of the freedom of
the Protestant church in Italy.
Sight Seeing Trip
Saturday afternoon 1000 of
those attending the Assembly
we're driven in cars on a sight-see-
ing trip around st. Paul and Min
neapolis. The same mprnin g
about Is ministers and elders who
had been in the service Of the
church for fifty years or more
were called to the platform.
"The sacramento service which
was part Of the open ceremonies
of the first day was a very inspir-
ing service. One hundred elders
were necessary to distribute the

Some famous batteries have held
forth for the Giants in days gone by.
Among them were Keefe and Ewing.
Rusie and Farrell, Matty and Bresna-
han, Vanguard and Myers, Nehf and
Snyder, all of whom made baseball
history that will never die and whose
names were bywords in the land. 1t
has been six years now since the
Giant-Yankee world series in 1923,
and no battery of outstanding
achievements or personal appeal has
come to the Polo Grounds to take
their place.
Last year, however, kid battery
under the entitlements of Hubbell and
Hogan began to perform in a manner
to win the favor of those wise and
loyal fans who mix so much joy and
sorrow into their summer afternoons
under the lee of Coogan's bluff.
Francis Hogan, the big catcher Sc
cured from Boston in the famous
HOrnsby deal, started the season last
year at the Polo Grounds in a rather
inauspiciOus way. He came heralded-
as a slugger, and he did hit the ball
hard and often from the beginning,
but his workmanship behind the plate
lacked sureness and skill to say moth
ing of polish. But under the magic
hand of McGraw this bulky young
man developed amazingly. By mid.
season he was rated as a corking
good catcher if not a finished prod
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-04-12

uct, and as for his hitting, it was
like unto that of Bresnahan and Sny-
der in their hey-day- He played in
131 games and batted 1873, making %
doubles and 10 home runs, an impOs-
ing record for any second year man.
And the big boy got to be quite a
catcher. He improved day by day
with an aptitude that tended to make
McGraw forget about his backstop
worries of the last five seasons. He
did seem to have a catcher who could
hit, and a hitter who showed much
promise of being a fine catcher.
When McGraw called Carl Hubbell
up from Beaumont, Texas, in mid
season last year the announcement
did not stir ripple in baseball or
press circles. But few days later
when he went in against the first
place Cardinals and held them score
less for some ten innings Of an extra
inning game, he attracted plenty of
attention. He lost the game in the
last inning, it is true, but he showed
so much courage, GOODNESS and skill
that day in supreme test that his
next appearance in the box was
looked forward to with much interest.
He pitched that same brand of ball
clear to the end of the season. I'm
der the strain of pennant fight from
which his team was not eliminated I'M
til almost the last day of the strug-
gle this young Texas Lacquer never
faltered or "blew."
