fine SPECIMEN OF
DOG ABOARD ship
CANINE is ON CABLE VESSEL
ARRIVING HERE WED
,NESDAX.5--s,~.=-e--

One of the finest specimens of
the breed of dogs known as the
Newfoundland, is on board the
cable ship Cyrus Field, which ar
rived in port Wednesday after
making repairs to the Key West
Havana cable.
The dog, which answers to the
name "Bonza" was rescued from
an ice flOe by members of the
crew of the Cyrus Field. 1t had
doubtless been left, it is said, by
a party of sealers who had been
forced to take to their boats and
leave the dog, when the ice broke.
When rescued the animal had
on its harness which is attached to
a sled used for hauling the skins
of seals. The fact that the har-
ness was on the dog gave rise to
the thought that the owner made
a hurried departure.
1t was in a terribly emaciated
condition when taken from the
ice, an officer of the ship told
The Citizen, but careful nursing
and medical treatment brought
about recovery and today the ami
NAL weighs about 90 pounds. and
is a handsome specimen of the
breed.

Mr.. Jones points out that the
present bank act allows national
banks to lend on improved real
estate for as long as ten years
and on unimproved real estate for
fvie years. 1t allows loans to in
dustry up to ten years. The loans
are available for rediscount by
the banks at the Federal Reserve
and, inasmuch as 90 per cent of
all depositors are insured and
bank runs are unlikely, there is
no reason for banks to maintain
extreme liquidity, or to fail to
meet "the legitimate requirements
of real estate, business and indus
try in proper proportion to their
lending funds"

ed 5 per cent, plus a $1,000,000

 He said the people should rise up and demand that President Roosevelt take over the shipping industry, if the ship-owners re fuse to agree to a truce.
 Dore said: If the shipowners put on a lockout, Roosevelt will take charge of the ships of the country and it will be a long time before they will get them back. It will be the last time the government will pay steamship subsidies.

Man With Dual Mind Can Write

 SYDNEY, Australia, A man with a "dual brain"-who can do two things at once-has been dis covered living at Beecraft, a sub urb of Sydney.
 The man, Stirling Wilkinson, can write different words and sentences simultaneously with both hands. He can draw to sep arate drawings at the same time with astonishing accuracy.
 MT. Wilkinson would make an extraordinary "quick" bookkeep- CT as he can make the entries with one hand as he writes in the figures with the other. Anoth CT accomplishment is that he can write words backward.
 His explanation is that he was born with a "dual brain"
 When he first went to school he used to write words back ward with his left hand. The only way his teacher could read what he had written was by hold ing the paper up to the school room window or to a mirror.
 To train him to write in the orthodox manner with his right
