With more than a million bags of rice pledged to the Southern Rice Growers Selling association, farmers of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas believe they have found the weapon to be used in their fight for better prices for their product. They have learned the lesson of combination from the big mills and corporations. Houston is the center of the rice industry in Texas and the main branch of the selling agency will be To- cated here. The rules of this organza- tion of the southern farmers provide that each rice grower who joins must carry at least one share. It is planned to con- trol the entire output of rough rice, the crop is to be controlled and sold through one general agency. Each community will be represented by director and these directors will nominate from their ranks an executive committee of seven members. The committee in turn will appoint general manager, who in turn will employ an assistant manager In each section of every state represented. Under the assistant manager will be graders for the rice of each community
 With exact data as to what the cereal should bring the first month, the crop price is then fixed at certain mark The men who wish to sell at the first price may do so At the end of the first month the price advances 10 cents a bag; at the end of the second month 10 cents, and so on through the season. By this plan tt IS believed the grower will be encouraged to hold his crop as long as possible and SO equally distribute it over the year.

growers of the south are proving some thing of a puzzle to the trade because figures show that the movement into the market is at greater rate than was the case for the last two years. Ap early crop is now assigned as the reason for this, while it is conceded that by re- training from dumping all of their cot ton on the market at once the farmers have realized better prices than ever be- fore. In two days last week Houston dealers sold total of 21,7O5 bales of cot ton at 15 cents per pound. The trade of these two days alone brought into Texas s1,625,S75. Cotton is still the south's great est crop.

CENTRAL BANK DESCRIBED
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Lectures at the Waldorf.

In the absence OF Franklin MacVeagh,
Secretary Of the Treasury, his assistant.
Piatt Andrew, lectured on THE Treasury
Department and Its Affairs" at the Wal
dorf yesterday. Secretary MacVeagh was
detained in Washington, owing 10 call
for a Cabinet meeting by President Taft.
The lecture was the third in a series on the
departments of the federal government held
under the auspices Of the women's welfare
division of the National Civic Federal on.
After brief resume OF the various de
partmental functions of the Treasury De-
partment Mr.. Andrew confined his remarks
TO proposed monetary legislation, and told
what the new monetary legislation should
be- on the lines incorporated in the report
of the National Monetary Commission soon
10 be made to Congress. lie pointed out
defects IN the banking system, and de-
scribed the National Reserve Association,
which is proposed by the Monetary Com
mission as the principal remedy
The essential thing was to standardize
and centralize the present banking system.
through the operation Of the National Re.
serve Association, or so-called central bank,
he said
The principal aim Of the proposed new
system was TO avoid financial panics and
to relieve those financial stringencies which
accompanied the moving Of crops. with
some twenty-five thousand banks through
out the country and the reserves widely
distributed among these institutions the
reserve system to-day resembed the cab
system Cf Berlin, he said.
In Berlin the law requires that there
a1x no a l.
ton" he said. This Is an unfortunate
circumstance 10 the man who may want
TO hire a cab for some urgent purpose and
finds only one cab left at the stand, which,
OF course, cannot leave il. So with our
bank reserves; the law provides that they
shall not be used under any circum-
stances"
Summing up the three principal defects
fl the present banking system. Mr.. Andrew
said they were: First. that banknotes were
really not part OF the credit system; sec
end. that the bank reserves were unavail-
able, infeXble and not sufficiently mobll-
ized and third, that the system lacked a
common bond between banks which would
form some sort OF a central institution.

MOTHERS TO THE RESCUE
Woman Saves Her Baby at Fire
and Dog Dies Trying.

Evidence of the mother instinct was dls-
pIayed in two instances yesterday wheh
fire threatened the lives Of occupants a'
No 1929 Third avenue, The Bronx.
Becoming confused at the cry OF "f1re!
Mrs Ethel Seibert twenty-five years oiu'
threw her six months old baby from 'he
third floor of her apartment to the street
and then jumped after the infant' harry
Rothstein, sixteen years old, who hNes III
the house caught the child and saved MN
from injury. Then he tried to save Mrs'
Seibert but only succeeded IN preakins
the fall. She was taken to Fordham HOS
pltal. where II was said late last night tha'
she was In a serious condition.
After the fire had been extinguished the
charred body OF Daisy. the family's pet
dog. was found sheltering the body of one
Of her two weeks old puppies Another
puppy was found alive some distance away
1t IS thought that the dog, when II recog-
nized the peril Of the fire, carried one OF
her young away, and In returning Tor the
other was burned so badly that she did
not have the strength TO take it away. and
gave up her life attempting 10 shield 1t
from harm.
Just what started the fire In the shop of
Abraham Rothstein, on the ground floor,
could not be ascertained. The blaze spread
rapidly and by the time the firemen ar
rived the store was enveloped in flames.
The tenants In the house were panic
stricken and it was with much difficulty
that the police and the hremen got them
out without injury.
Adjoining the burned store is the build
ing of the Bronx Department Of Health,
which for a time was in great danger, but
the firemen made quick work in extin-
gushing the fire after they got the hose
on it. The damage was estimated at about
5000
