Doctors Operate On Girl's Puppy; Bill Is Torn Up NEW YORK, July 13 W Little Lucy Orauv, Just 11. walked into the hospital for the ruptured and crip pled carrying in her arms a little white puppy-dog. "This Is Trlxie," she told Dr. Ed ward Barnett, "and her leg Is broken, and the dog-doctor said he would havo to kill her; but I don't want him to kill her because she Is the nicest dog in the world, and so1 I brought her to your hospital." Dr. Barnett called in three other doctors. This was no simple case. ; It called for consultation. X-rays j were made. The doctors pondered. Fi ' nolly they laid Trixle on the operat . lng table, put her to sleep with a . hypodermic, carefully reduced the j fracture and put the leg in a cast. Lucy Oraux. beaming, and with a frightened but convalescing Trixie in i her arms, looked up at the four -doctors. J "Thank you very much," she said, f I was very sorry to bother you, but ; Trixie Just couldn't die. because she ! Is the nicest dog in the world." The doctors bowed. "You are entirely welcome," they smiled. The hospital cashier cast a startled look at the doctors, shrugged his shoulders and tore up the bill.

PETITION HOAX NOT YET SOLVED RUSSIA SOWS LESS MOSCOW, U. 6. 8. R., July 13 W Soviet Russia has wound up the spring sowing campaign with nearly one million acres less than last year under cultivation. The total Is nearly 15,000,000 acres below the program. Official figures place the total area sown on July 1 at 241,000,500 acres as compared with 243,560,000 last year and 255,876,000 planned. Failure to (come up to expectations, was attrlb- uivu mrgeiy u tne poor snowing oi the Ukraine where a bad drouth lost year caused great loss of crops and seed. (Continued from Page One) the affair was staged. Slocum held another conierence Tuesday with po lice but professed Inability to name any of the perpetrators of the imag inary hold-up. The unexplained absence of E. L. Octz, Corvallis business man, and backer of the consolidation move, continued to surprise investigators. They said he had promised to appear Monday morning for further ques tioning, but that he failed to do so. Nor did he qppear Tuesday, It was said. Cletz was quoted as having said ho drove to Portland the night 9t tho pre-arranged holdup after having heard an attempt was to be made to steal tho petitions. He established himself at a strategic point com manding a view of the building in which the Consolidation offices were located, it was said, but saw nothing to arouse suspicion. He is quoted as having said he learned of the robbery tho next morning. Lotus Langley, district attorney, said "My office and the police will keep on this case until it is solved. Wo know one of the men Involved by Tollman. but we do not know the others. That Is the Important move right now and all our present efforts havo this as the objective." WHEAT A HIT BULLISH CHICAGO, July 13 W) With spring wheat growth now entering a critical stage, prospects of a northwest hot wave likely to affect the crop ad versely tended to give some stimulus to buyers today. Reports were that some unexplained heavy buying at Winnipeg might be linked with the economic conference to be held short ly in Ottawa. Considerable skepticism was c presaed over the new official esti mate of domestic winter wheat pro duction. There ,were assertions that the government forecast was at least 20,000000 bushels too high. World's Fertility Scientists estimate that 40 per cent of the land area of the earth Is desert, 30 per cent Is eultlvat able, and 30 per cent poor grazing land, mnrsh, forest, waste and high mountains. There Is no agreement as to the exact portion that Is Inhabitable. Always "Present" At Capitol Not a roll -cn 11 has Congressman Robert A.
