pup cost forty dollars.
The sum stunned Louise. Forty dollars.
Forty dollars In her savings bank at home,
into which she had been putting pennies for
years, there was only thirty-one dollars. She
clutched Jock tightly and tried to think but
she couldn't concoct a single scheme for
raising money.
She might consult her parents, but they
probably wouldn't even approve of dog.
Certainly her mother. whose whole soul
seemed wrapped in orderliness and thrift,
would not permit her to squander her savings
on a puppy.
The man said, 'Well9"

Louise stammered Gould you - would you
keep him in reserve for me?"
Without another word, the man took the
puppy from her, tossed him back into the

she stroked him and spoke softly.

puppy and tried to decide what to do. Then a
sense of pride came to her rescue. She left
the shop hastily, without backward glance
She walked fast, but the puppys warm breath

and started to run.
Later, when Louise returned to the shop,
the pup was not there. The man said he had

stare at what was to her an empty window
Jock sat in the corner of the window,
watching her leave the shop. He could not
understand why he had been thrown back
into lonely exile. Anyway, he forgave her.
There was some mistake; it would right itself

She ordered her chauffeur to take Jock to
the car.
Jock soon found himself in big unfriendy
house. He was looked at critically by several
persons and much discussed. After minor
catastrophe on therug - catastrophe which,
he felt. might have been avoided had he been
less nervous and worried, he was ordered to
the scullery to the care of the maids. He spent
miserable day and night.
With morning boy came to fetch him.
There was nothing gentle about this boy;
although he was little. nothing warm or
pleasant in his bright black eyes. He lifted
Jock crudely and carried him upstairs; then
he showed him stick, which he threw across
the room.
Jock felt vaguely what was expected of
him, but he was in no playful mood. He just
sat on his tail The boy gave him slight kick,
meant as encouragement; when Jock failed to
stir. the irritated boy made to grab him. It
was in that unhappy instant. feeling nervous
beyond endurance, that Jock nipped the boy
in the leg. And then he was frightened. for the
boy gave wild howl. Jock retreated down
the stairs, to take up his brooding under the
scullery table.
The bite was not serious. The boy suffered
no damage, except perhaps to his conceit;
but Jock was promptly returned to the dog
shop.
Again time meant only one thing: watching
for Her.
He scanned every face that passed. but she
did not come. His appetite left him; his dour-
ness increased. No one showed any interest in
him. So he just sat in his corner and waited.

OUR DATE AT EXPOSITION

Criticism Of the date assigned as I'm
perial Valley Day at the San Diego IN
ternational exposition, has been heard in
the valley for several days past, the con-
tention being that it is not a time when
the valley can put forward It's best foot.
July 81 is the date designated and
critics point out that activity in the val
ley is at its lowest point at that time.
The cantaloupe season will be over.
hundreds of valleyites will be absent on
vacation, the schools closed and in mid
summer there is a climatic barrier not
conducive to enticing visitors from the
outside.
Those who would like to see Imperial
Valley get the most out of the day as
signed to It urge an earlier date, before
the end of the cantaloupe season, and as
soon as possible after the schools close.
They argue that II would be possible to
take several carloads of cantaloupes over
to the coast for distribution at the eX-
position with the compliments of lmper-
ial valley, thereby creating friendly
interest in this community on the part
of the thousands Of visitors from all sec
tions of the country who will be IN San
Diego. If not too remote from the close
of school an earlier date would probably
permit the transportation Of thousands
of school children, who might otherwise
not see the exposition, in school busses.
There are thousands of youngsters here
who will be without the price or means
of transportation at later date or for
that matter on any date, unless It Is pro-
vided for them.
There appears to be much merit in the
contention of those preferring an earlier
date If anything is to be done about
changing the date it must be undertaken
at once, for the exposition authorities
are making up their schedule and it may
be too late even now to make q change.
However, those in charge of Imperial
Valleys part in the exposition might do
we'll to give the arguments of the OBJ
jectors full consideration.
Certainly, if the valley is going to
spend thousands of dollars in preparing
exhibits for the exposition it should do
all that it possible can to get the most
good out of the day assigned it to put
on a show"
We refer the suggested change to the
board of supervisors, the board of trade
and the Imperial Irrigation District di-
rectors, who seem to be taking the lead
in exposition activities concerning I'M
perial Valley.

GIANTS BEAT.
ABC OUTFIT

A. B. C. ball-tossers put up a
swell argument against the highly
touted Toxic Giants yesterday but
had to go down to defeat in the
ninth inning, when the invaders
scored two runs.
Samura. star hurler for the Japa-
neSe, had to be called in to do
mound duty in the eighth inning to
relieve AsShiba who was in diff
ficulty, with the score tied and the
locals threatening to take the lead
Samura took charge of the situa-
ton and the chances of victory for
the locals went glimmering.
Hill, pitching for the locals, did
fine job of it, ably supported by
SWede Smith. who scored the only
local run. as we'll as the rest of the
local lineup, all of whom played
bang-up baseball. The locals outhit
the Giants 7 to five but were
charged with six misplays, while the
Giants played errorless ball.
A large crowd watched the game
and had a great run for its money,
the teams putting up smart brand
of ball. The first run was scored by
the locals in the third inning and
they held the lead until the Giants
tied it in the seventh. Neither
scored in the eighth and the Giants
put over two runs in the ninth to
win.
The comment of spectators SEEM
ed to agree that if Japan can dig up
a few more teams like the Giants,
the Yankee ballplayers are going to
have to consider them real threat
some day to the supremacy which
the United States holds in this par
ticular game

WASHINGTON. April II WP)- A
faded old newspaper clipping has
set the treasury department TO
wondering whether 1895 budget
figures will seem as funny in 2035
as the statistics of 100 years ago do
today.
The clipping is from the Rich
mond Palladium, issue of Jan. 3.
1881.
The treasury had just submitted
its annual report to congress and
the event was duly reported.
From this report" said the Pal
ladiulm, lit appears that the re-
ceipts into the treasury in 1929
were. from customs $22,68l ,925,
public lands S1.515,1T5" and several
smaller items. none more than a
few hundred thousand dollars.
Government expenditures for 1929
were $25,044 ,358-not enough to run
the federal relief administration for
week. government expenditures
are now running around seven bill
lion dollars.
The public debt Jan. l, 1881, was
given as $39,123, ,I9l. 1t has grown
some since those days. Last reports
had it at $4,000, 100000.
The secretary Of the treasury,
even in those times, worried about
the revenue situation. He was re-
ported as recommending modifica-
ton of "the impost system in con-
temptation of the approaching
crisis in the fiscal policy of the
United States"
The report neglected to mention
just who was treasury secretary at
the time, but histories show him to
have been Samuel D. Ingham of
