ENGLAND IS QU|ETED
ON SUB INCIDENT
Admiralty Admits German Craft
Was in Area. but British
Ship Not Involved.
BY the Associated Press,

by the ASSOCIATED Press.
LONDON. July 22.-Excitement over
report that German submarine was
stopped by a British destroyer off
Portland faded today after the British
admiralty denied it and it was with
drawn by the press association which
carried it.
Said American born Lady Astor TO
the chuckles OF her confreres in Par
lament:
Another war has gone west"
The admiralty said it was true
enough that a German submarine had
passed the area, but said the boat was
neither stopped nor involved in any
way with the British vessels maneuver-
ing near that English Channel naval
base. The admiralty said the sub
marine was the U-34.
The press association had quoted
informed sources as saying the Ger
man submarine U-27 was seen off
Portland Monday night, that the de-
stroyer Wolfhound ordered her to the
surface and, after questioning the
commander, allowed her to proceed.
In denying this, the admiralty said
the Wolfhound, engaged in exercises
on the naval base, had dropped prac-
tice charge to signal British sub
marine in the area to come to the sur
face.

Traxler appeared bitter against the
man who wounded him.
Il tried to tell the guy he didn't
need to shoot me because I was all
through" Traxler said, Il knew It,.
I didn't have chance. But just
wasted my breath. He didn't wait
for me to say anything. He just shot,
fell out Of the car to keep him from
killing me-"
Trimmer, who was driving, was kid
naped from his home and forced to
drive his car, after the two fugitives
had ditched the car in which they
Kidnapped Denton.

at the roadside" said Denton, and
We would wait until it got dark"
Denton, riding in the back seat
with Tindol, said he saw Tndol's
gun was in the seat as he sat beside,
Trimmer Traxler dozed
The two hostages exchanged glances
in the rear view mirror, and both
grabbed for the guns.
When I got the car parked and
saw Traxler had dosed or" said
Trimmer, Il glanced back at Den
ton and saw Tindol was asleep too.
Both of us grabbed for their guns
Both of us shot Tindol at the same
time, then Denton shot Traxler."
"Traxler begged us to get him =
doctor. He said he was afraid he
might bleed to death. After q while
he started threatening us. He said
he knew he was going to die"
AS four armed guards watched over
Traxler in his hospital room here,
Gov. James v. Alfred Of Texas an
nounced he would ask extradition.

Senate leaders said today a bill to
extend emergency farm loan interest

The question of sustaining or over

The rate next year would be per

original contracts with debtors
The bill also provides for a two-year
reduction from 5 to per cent Of the
interest on s6000oo,OO0 of Land Bank
commissioner loans. which are secured
largely by second mortgages on farm

In his veto message, Mr., Roosevelt

He contended there was no justlfca-

Holstein Cattle Native
of a Holland District

The native home of Holstein cattle
is Holland; or, more correctly, the
Netherlands, the provinces of Fries
land, Drenthe, North Holland and
South Holland being more repre-
sentative of the dairy industry in
that country. The name Holstein as
applied to this breed of cattle, says
a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, is really misnomer, as it
had no application in Holland, but
referred to a small province in Ger
many, now Schleswig- Holstein, be-
tween the Baltic and North seas,
about hundred miles east of the
Holland boundary where black and
white Dutch cattle are found.
The breed popularity known as
Holstein originated and the ancient
Friesland people and may more
properly be called Friesian. The
ancient Frieslanders belonged to a
tribe which occupied the shores of
the North sea between the River
Ems and the Rhine. They were the
oldest inhabitants of Holland and
were known as herdsmen, hunters
and fishermen. Their history dates
as far back as 800 years before
Christ. The farmers of North
Holland and Friesland are lineal de-
scendants of these ancient people,
and the multitude of black and white
cattle they own, 1ineal descendants
of the cattle owned bv their anceS-
tors.
Until 1871 cattle brought to this
country by the early Dutch settlers
were known almost universally as
Dutch, although as early as 1864
the Department of Agriculture had
recognized them as Holstein cattle.
In 1885 the breeders and importers,
representing two distinct Dutch cat
tie associations in this country, met
in joint session and agreed upon the
name Holstein-Friesian.

Narcissus Very Old

Long, long ago, in the dim history
of ancient civilization, we read Of
the narcissus being found in paint
ings and carvings in Egyptian
tombs. The same flower was fire.
quently used by the Greeks in their
ceremonial professions. In more
modern times we find that as far
back as 1929 the famous botanist
Parkinson wrote a treatise on the
narcissus, Illustrating ninety varie-
ties. It is a long and fascinating
journey which this flower has taken
through the ages down to the won
derful creations. The name narcis-
sus was given to this botanical genus
by Linnaeus, the great Swedish bot
anist, after beautiful youth, who,
Greek mythology relates, was trans
formed into this flower.

In the hush and quiet of the evening,
AS lay me down to rest,
My soul went out in longing
For the homeland of the blest.
l could almost hear the music
From the angels harps of gold,
And the heavenly choir singing,
In that land where none grow old.
Gods peace within that told me,
When the cares of life were DER,
About the glad and glorious resting,
On that bright and golden shore.
Gods presence was all around me,
And his love, so full and free;
Every promise that He has given,
In His kindness for you and me.

THE CHRISTIAN HOME

In Council Bluffs, Iowa, is located
a Home for orphan and destitute
Children, which is different from any
other organization of it's kind in the
country. This Home was founded
nearly fifty-five years ago, by Rev.
]. G. Lemen, godly man of gigan-
tic faith in God. In fact, the Home
was founded ON the Promises of God.
This Home, which is the Christian
Home Orphanage of Council Bluffs,
iowa, is supported entirely by the
free will Offering of the lovers of
God and Humanity. Thousands of
Children have passed through its
portals during it's over half century
of existence. Children who were in
the Home, years ago, are now out
standing men and women of today /;
many have won fame and fortune
due to the teachings received while
they were children at the Home.
These same children had they been
left in their original pitiful surround
ings, might have helped to fill the
penitentiaries of today.
The Christian Home Orphanage is
a National Home for children; it is
located in Iowa, but it is supported
entirely by the voluntary contribu-
tions of people from all sections of
the country. 1t receives no appro-
priations of any kind, and employs no
travelling agents, but depends upon
your goodness and mine for its sup
port. 1t conducts it's own school, its
own we'll equipped hospital. 1t also
has a small department for aged wo-
men.
The work of caring for homeless
children, and training them to be-
come Christian men and women, is
the INST outstanding work of today.
The Christian Home Orhpanage is
doing this work, but cannot do it
without your gifts and your cooper
alton. This is a work in which all
can take part.
For information in regard to this
remarkable Home, write to the
Christian Home Orphanage, Council
Bluffs, Iowa, and literature will be
sent to you.
All contributions sent to the
Christian Home Orphanage, Council
Bluffs, Iowa, are duly acknowledged
and credited in the official publica
ton, "CHRISTIAN HOME" III
which all financial reports appear, a
copy of which will be mailed to you,

Brick Was Favored for
Old Temples, Palaces

Brick for buildings was riding a
crest Of popular favor in ancient
civilizations, decayed now and gone
these thousands of years. Royal
rulers Of the Mesopotamian plains,
and kings and sultans and emper-
ors eastward to Persia, India, and
China and westward to Egypt, Asia
Minor, Greece and Rome followed
the brick tradition and left to pos
terity great palaces of brick, splen-
did temples, and immense walls
not to forget the hanging gardens Of
Nebuchadnezzar himself, writes
Louise Barglett in the Chicago Trih-
une.
Even on pyramids, untold CEN
turtles ago, was carved tribute to
the glories Of brick. AS an example,
on pyramid Of brick outside Of
Cairo, somewhere back in unrecord-
I'd time were these proud words:
"The pyramid speaks. Disparage
me not by comparing me with pyra-
mids built Of stone. ! am as much
superior to them as Ammon Is SUI
perior to the rest Of the deities. I
am constructed of brick. am made
from mud which adhered to the
ends Of poles drawn up from the
bottom of the lake. I am indestruct-
IDLE and shall endure forever"
