VALDEZ. — “Wolf” is Alaska’s j
savage outlaw dog. The blood of ]
many creatures is on his hardened
conscience, and the brand of his fang
on man and beast.
S*n of the wild, he is, by virtue of
what he learned from his human as
sociates, a super-brute. Many call
him the “Timber Devil.”
The story of his battle to the death
with a she bear near here probably is
unmatched for dog courage and loy
alty to master. It was told by Paul
Buckley, widely known Alaskan, from
whom this remarkable dog recently
was stolen.
Wolf’s mother was a husky, his
father a timber wolf. From puppy
hood he has been a killer. Battle
scars cover him. One ear is gone. A
tuft under his jaw, like a beard, gives
the broad wolfish head a particularly
sinister look. And he hates a bear
with all the inherited venom of his
breed.
«
Jump Mother Bear and Cubs.
When Buckley, his master, hunting
up Valdez creek, jumped a large she
bear and two cubs in the blueberry
bushes, Wolf leaped to the attack to
protect the man.
Circling for advantage, slashing
and snapping warily, the two arch en
* emies bore off up a slope. Buckley,
fearing for his dog, tried to whistle
him back. Once or twice Wolf at
tempted to return, but the bear out
flanked him.
Then Wolf, with all his cunning, be
gan a deadly maneuver that ended
only when the two had gone deep in
to the solitudes. Just as the she bear
had forgotten her cubs, so the wolf
dog had now forgotten his master un
til this wilderness feud had been set
tled.
Running with tireless ease, Wolf
drew the black bear on until fatigue
had sapped his terrible energy, until
her slashing charges had begun to
abate. She was fat and he was lean—
the resilient leanness of fighting fit
ness. And they closed, in a whirl of
fury.
Dog Proves the Victor.
It must have been magnificent, that
finish of cardinal hate, but no man
saw it. Buckley, who had watched
the beginning from a tree top, and
who waited many hours for his dpg’s
return, had finally made temporary
camp and had shot the two whining,
deserted cubs.
Hours later Wolf dragged himself
into Buckley’s permanent camp six
miles distant, where his master’s
partner was getting dinner. His
tongue was out. He was badly man
gled. With a supreme effort he got
upon Buckley’s bunk, calling weakly
for his master.
But there was bear’s blood on his
muzzle and a gleam of victory in the
baleful eyes. Next day prospectors
told of having found a dead she-bear
not far away in the timber—with her
throat ripped open.

Kill Flies and Save Lives.
The fly season is approaching, am
with respect to this household pest, ;
government report makes the follow
ing suggestions:
Kill at once every fly you can and
burn his body.
Observers say that there are many
reasons to believe there will be more
flies this season than for a number ol
years.
The killing of just one fly NOW
means there will be billions and tril
lions less next summer.
Clean up your premises; see and in
sist that your neighbors do likewise
Especially clean “out-of-the-way
i places,” and every nook and cranny.
Flies will not go where there i
nothing to eat, and their principal diet
is too filthy to mention.
The Fly Is the Tie That Binds the Un
healthy to the Healthy.
The fly has no equal as a germ “car
rier”; as many as five hundred mil
lion germs have been found in and or
the body of a single fly.
It is definitely known that the fly is
the “earlier” of the germs of typhoid
fever; it is widely believed that it is
also the “carrier” of other diseases, in
cluding possibly infantile paralysis.
The very presence of a fly is a sig
nal and notification that a housekepei
is uncleanly and inefficient.
Do not wait until the insects begin
to pester; anticipate the annoyance.
April, May and June are the best
months to conduct an anti-fly cam
paign.
The farming and suburban districts
provide ideal breeding places, and the
I new born flies do not remain at their
birth place, but migrate, using rail
roads and other means of transporta
tion, to towns and cities.
Kill flies and save lives.

ST. LOUIS, April 11.—A split in j j
the socialist party ranks over the j
Lquestion of American entrance into {
j the war may be caused at the con- ;
, vention here today by II men hereto- •
1 fore prominent in socialist councils, J
who have issued a manifesto support
ing President Wilson's course against ;
Germany, even to the point of war.
I Charles Edward Russell, writer and ;
j socialist leader, was one of the sign- )
:ers.
“A few weeks ago,” Russell said, ^
‘the executive committee of the so- {;
cialist party issued a manifesto pur- >
porting to declare that a majority of ,
the members of the party opposed war >,
with Germany. A minority of the -
party has now joined in a manifesto , -
j setting foi'th our belief that the ex
ecutive committee’s declaration is a
j betrayal of democracy; that it is far
from representing the belief of all
j socialists, and that, on the contrary, .
i socialists should support- the presi- '
dent against Germany and should con
derail in every possible way, Germa
ny'.- course in the war.”
Among the signers to this manifes
to are: .!. G. Phelp Stokes, William
English Walling, Upton Sinclair, Char- (
J lotte Perkins Gillman, William .1. ,
j Ghent, Leroy Scott. R. W. Bruere,
William 1.. Stoddard, Walter E. Krue
| si and his wife, Charlotte Kimbass
Ki-uesi, and mvself.”

the following suggestion for the do- 1
struction of house flies: Formaldo 1
hyde and sodium salicylate are the two 1
best fly poisons. Both are superior to
arsenic. They have their advantage- 1
for household use. They are not a :
I poison to children; thev are convem
,
i ent to handle, their dilutions are sim
I pie and thev attract the flies.
i
A formaldehyde solution of approx
I imately the correct strength may be
‘‘trade by adding three teaspoonfuls of
the concentrated formaldehyde solu
tion, commercially known as formalin,
to a pint of water. Similarly, th'-1
proper concentration of sodium salicy
late may be obtained by dissolving
thre teasponfuts of the pure chemical
(a powder) to a pint of water.
AT THE EMPRESS.
Frank Daniels, the greatest com
edian of this generation, the man who!
has probably made more people laugh 1
any other human being, is the attrac- '
, tion in motion pictures at the Empress '
theatre Sunday and Monday evening,!'
April 2!) and 30. Paul West, the play- '
wright, has provided a splendid vehicle •
for Daniels in “Crooky,” the name of ;
the photoplay in which are more '
laughs than any other play Daniels ‘
has appeared. Among Daniel’s real '
successes on the speaking stage may j <
be mentioned Victor Herbert’s “Wiz-1'
ard of the Nile,” “The Idol’s Eye” and |,
“The Tattooed Man,” and his stage j
success may be attributed largely to
these comic operas written especially
for his peculiar talent by Mr. Herbert,
the greatest composer of light opera
living today. There is no disputing;
the fact thaat Daniels is a born com
edian. His every gesture even when
off the stage provokes laughter, and, |
it is said that in “Crooky,” he will J
make you laugh harder and heartier j
than any other comedian you ever saw.
“Crooky” is Frank Daniels’ first de- \
parture from the stage to the screen. ;
and it is the triumph of his career, j
Pathe News, sparkling with interest-'
ing features, precedes “Crooky.”
This Saturday, April 28, David Bea- 1
lasco’s most notable success, “The
Woman,” a drama of modem political |
life in Washington, telling a story of I
how a courageous girl, a telephone op
erator, prevents a congressional j
“grab” and a domestic scandal, will be ;
the feature.
“The Woman,” produced in dramati
form by David Belasco, positively de
serves to rank as one of the few fore
most American dramas written or. i
strictly American subject matter, and
it lays claim to be the finest and most
sympathetic American photodrama jj
ever produced. 916 ■
