With him was his dog, Ru fas, a strong, Intelligent animal, a cross between a Siberian bloodhound and a St. Bernard. There were no sign posts in the deserts In those days, nothing to guide the traveler to the water holes, nothing to warn against poisoned springs. The man and the dog were almost dead when they final ly crawled to a water hole, drank the brackish water and staggered on and finally out of the desert. - Since that terrible experience, the man made rescue work in the desert his life task, and, with his faithful The Man Drank But the Dog Refused. dog, saved hundreds.

C gp RULING BY BOARD SHARPLY ASSAILED AMENDMENT TO RESERVE ACT IS SOUGHT BV SOUTHERN SENATORS PLAN WOULDCREATE CHAOS I One Southern Senator Says Governor Harding Interpreted Language To Suit Himself Washington. Southern senators and cotton men appeared before the senate finance committee to urge an amendment to the federal reserve act renntHnir federal reserve banks to re discount paper of cotton factors. They sharply assailed the federal reserve board's ruling denying discount pri ileees'to the factors. Senator Smith of Georgia declared that Governor Harding of the board had "interpreted the language of tne law to suit hlmslef, "and that his po sition with regard to factors' paper was "utterly indefensible. Edward B. Stern, a cotton factor New Orleans, told the committee that the plan suggested by Governor Har ding that the farmers negotiate ai rent with the country banks in financ ing their crops was "impractical," be cause the banks would not lane tne farmers' notes. He declared the plan would "create chaos In cotton mar ketlne." Sciidiur mrcuai ol icnutoovu, w.t the committt that the factors' papers were eilt-edKed. and that federal re serve banks had never lost on loans secured by the factors. He said one- fifth of the entire cotton crop wa3 marketed bv factors who were com nelled to borrow large amounts, some times more than thirty thousand doi lars, in order to make advances to the farmers and aid them in financ ing new crops. Paul Dillard. president of a Mem phis, Tenn', cotton firm, testified that the action of the board was discilm inatorv." "Memnhis wants the farmers' paper handled on merit, and not discrlml nated against," Mr. Dillard said. "The ruline of the board last summer male iner these naners ineligible for discount was made under a misapprenension. Until that time this class or paper was considered as agricultural, and dis counts permitted. Now for no appar ent reason, it is designated as 'finance paper,' and held ineligible for dis count." Mr. Dillard estimated that practical ly every farmer who produced cotton last vear lost from $40 to $50 an acre, and said large loans would have to be made this year In order tor tne farmer to plant. -"They have used all' their funds, and we will, have to finance them," he said. "We trust that factors' pa pers may again be placed on the ell gible list." Increased Equipment To Meet Demand Philadelphia.

The British Tommies nearby stand ing rigidly at attention were petrified by Guyon's reply: "Oh, pretty well, king, but say, this tea we have for breakfast ls fierce can't you fix it up so we can have coffee?"
