SCOTCH COLLIE TRIES
TO AVENGE PAL'S DEATH
DULUTH, Minn., April 14. Since
its canine pal was killed recently by
a street car, a Scotch collie dog
stands guard at a comer here each
day, leaps high as cars speed by ar.d
often manages to grasp the trolley
pole rope with its teeth, pulfing the
pol off the wire and stopping the
car. Efforts of the dog's master and
car crews to persuade the dog to
cease the practice hare been to no
avail. The animal probably will be
shot, it is said.

WASHINGTON. April II. The res

Vork, calling for an investigation by the,
committee on agriculture of agricultural
organizations and associations relative
to the control and price of food products,,
came in for considerable attention today
at the American Farm Bureau Federa
tion conference which is foi'iiiulatiiiLr a
legislative program to be laid before con
gress. Whether formal action would be
taken was no', indicated.
The Gould resolution declares that re ,

''have excited the fear and anxiety ol !
