Doqqie's "Thumbs."

The tiny claws on the inside Of a
dogs leg are all that remain Of his
thumbs and big toes. You will notice
that there are only four real toes on
each foot. It is usual to remove them
whilst puppies are quite small, for if
they are left the dog is apt to tear
them when he burrows. Many dogs
are born without them.

BangOr.-Five years ago a man try
ing to get living out of rocky
some brush. The fire got away and
swept over the entire place-tieltls,
wood lot and all. The farmer gave up
in disgust, getting q job in the woods.
After two years in the Northern log
ging camps at good wages the farmer
returned to the old place to find it
wild. The entire burned area was COW
cred with little stunted bushes. But
they were blueherry bushes. and ever
since then the discouraged farmer has
been getting an average of $5.o0o a
year in stumpage'-permits to pick
blue-berries on his land. This occupies
his attention from the middle of Aug
ust to frost time. After that he can

Best Paying Crop.
With even a fair season there is
more money in blueberries than in any
other crop in eastern Maine. The adj
vantage of the BURBERRY farm over
others is that it doesn't have to he
farmed. On 100000 acres in eastern
Penobscot, Hancock and Washington
counties the little bushes grow sturdi]y
and rapidly on lands that have been
burned or numbered over; no fertilizer
is required there is no ploughing to
do-just an occasional wedding out Of
other growths so the berry bushes may
not be choked. All the BURBERRY asks
is half chance Many a man who
failed miserably ut raising potatoes
or other crops has become rich at
blueberry farming--as riches go down
East.
In the old days BURBERRY picking
was a casual industry or enjoyment

some berries to put down. for the

Now it is all different. The lands,

Institution Survives With drawals Of Over Million;
 Rumors Are Probed

DALLAS. Tex, May 1.-The Secur- ity National Bank withstood a run to- day. holding open three hours after the usual closing time, to accommo- date depositors whose confidence had grown shaky because of rumors of unknown origin. No exact figures were available tonight. but officers of the bank said deposits today to- taled roughly s1, TOO 900 and that with drawals were about s500.000 less than that
 When the bank opened today few depositors. mostly with small accounts were lined up. By noon hundreds of persons jammed the bank and filled the streets.
 Various business men climbed on desks. counters and boxes and made optimistic speeches. which with state ments of confidence from the Dallas Clearing House Association and the Eleventh District Federal Reserve Bank. didmuch to bring order.
 Regarded as probably the most inn nressive assurances were the driving tbrouah the crowds of heavily guard cd federal reserve bank truck with a huge sack of currency which immed- lately was opened inside the bank. and speech< by E.

 Tonight it was said grand jury in vestigation probably would be made to attempt to establish the origin of the rumor that the banks solvency was endangered.

Ashurst Proposal To Raise Duty On Long Staple
 Cotton Is Voted Down
DEBATE LASTS 5 HOURS
COP. Ranks Stand Solid In Sweeping Aside Attempts
 To Alter Measure

WASHINGTON. May 1.-The sen ate late today passed the emergency tariff and anti-dumping bill, retaining all amendments recommended by the finance committee, but rejecting those individually proposed.
 The vote was 63 to 2S..
 The Knox amendment, continuing wartime control over imports of dye stuffs was accepted, 61 to 25.
 Seven Democrats, Senators Brous- sard, Louisiana; Jones, New Mexico; Kendrick, Wyoming; Myers, Monta- na; Pittman, Nevada; Ransdell, Lou isiana, and Sheppard, Texas, voted with the Republicans in passing the bill. Another Democrat, Ashurst, Arizo- ma, who was absent, was announced as a supporter. Only one Republican, Senator Moses, of Kew Hampshire, voted against the bill.
 Action by the senate came after five hours of attack by Democratic leaders. The latter, however, were not alone in attempts to amend the measure, for several Republicans tried to broaden its scope. All amend ments were swept aside by practically the same vote.
 Late in the day Democrats concen- trated on the committee addition to the bill providing for continued fed eral control of dye importations.
 Senators charged that the amend ment. submitted to the committee by Senator Knox, Republican, would ere ate monopolistic control of the aye in Gustry and turn over the consumers to the wishes and will of one man"
 A roll call left it as part of the bill by the vote of 61 to 25.
 Senator King, Democrat of Utah, was not content, however, and made another effort to strike out the dye revision just prior to the final vote. That failed also.
 There were attempts by some Dem ocrats who favored the measure to in NiN"SC HdeCS OA pal SiSNioA SNiAiON' ties. Senator Ashurst, Democrat of AIIzona, made a hard fight to raise the rate on long staple cotton from tc 20 cents. His amendment was rejected. "A to '.
