Secretaries Hoover and Wallace. also
appearing before the copmittee be-

was understood to have urged the
committee to report the Anderson

was more nearly adequate to the
needs of the farmer than the Capper
bill. Mr.. Hoover. whose test timony
was said to have related more gen
orally to the need of agricultural
credit than to details of its exten-
sion. appeared to favor the Ander-
son-Lenroot measure. which would
set up farm credits departments in
the existing federal land banks, with
an authorized government-furEish ishe i
capitalization OF $4,000. 900 for the
twelve banks.

ments and that would mean either
more government borrowing or higher
taxes on all the people. and would
provide for issuance of raXeXempt

his last objection. Mr.. Mellon said
'it would come with particularly bad

ment to authorize creation of a large
volume of new taX-exempt securities
at the time it was seeking to shut off
the flow Of such securities through
amendment of the federal Constitu
ton.
Thinks Capper Plan Better.
Pointing to the diversity Of opinion
upon the Anderson -Lenroot bill, Mr.
Mellon. 'in his letter. added:
"ln view of the substantial objec-
tions to the bill already pointed out.
believe that the most helpful
course that can be pursued now is to
adopt a substitute measure along
the lines of the Capper bill. with
the suggested extension of the life or
the War Finance Corporation until
March 81. 1924. This would adapt
needs of agriculture and include the
best features of the various plans
upon which there is virtual agree
ment.
Il would admit to discount at the
federal reserve banks agricultural
paper with a maturity up to nine
mouths. secured by commodities in
process of orderly marketing or by
live stock which is being fattened
for market. To this there can be no
substantial objection. 1t is safe. and
the testimony before your committee
shows that it will be helpful -
"A rural credits program like that
embodied in substance in the Capper
bill would draw capital and credit
from available sources for use where
needed by the agricultural and live
stock industries and would accom-
plish this on, a business basis, with
out depending on government money
or tax exemptions. At the same time
1t would enlarge the facilities of the
federal reserve system to provide
further for agricultural discounts.
and hope las TO encourage larger
membership among eligible banks in
the agricultural districts. and would
extend up to $4,000 the limit on loans
by federal land banks. Altogether it
presents a comprehensive plan OF
permanent relief on practical lines"

1t is not right that the task of
adjudicating the rights to the
waters of the Humboldt river
should be left solely to state Off
cialdom. Substantial preliminary
progress has been made in effecting
tentative proposals for enjoyment
IF water rights, but the start to-
ward beneficial use has been barely
made. The events of the future
aust correlate around the individual
and collective efforts of the resi-
dents of the Humboldt valley and
upon them rest the responsibility
that must go with developing
virgin lands within the states great

There is widespread recognition
of Humboldt river possibilities but
up to the present time it has been
lightly dismissed with an ''impos-
sible to harmonic conflicting rights
conclusion. 1.-THE job is too big to
be humanity possible" think so
many and the comment has been so
general over a long period of time
that it has come to be accepted as
gospel fact.
Nothing could be further from
the truth. Human penchant runs
strong to selfishness at this period
and that's the more reason that
BODYBUILDING opportunity should be

fishness and altruism dictate that the

ion scheme that could easily be
made one of the largest and most

uptown location and showed his
displeasure by alternately whin-
ing and growing. OF course, he
can not talk but notwithstanding
his lack of what we term yocables,
he made himself understood. His
master sought day by day to placate
Spot and make him understand that
the W. P. is quite as good a rail-
road as any of the transcontinental
lines and that its depot in this city
lies along the purling Humboldt
near where Spot could chase jack
rabbits to his hearts content and
seek adventure in the usual Fox
Terrier way.
But Spot would have none of It.
He tried without avail to induce Mr..
Grauvogel to change locations and
failing in this took his departure
like the Arab, silently and unan-
nounced.
Inquiries were sent out for Spot
by his master and many days of
search finally located him as the
boon companion of Agent P. E.
Born at the Southern Pacific depot
in this city. He had merely moved
from one depot to the other and
with cunning that cannot be ex-
planned picked the other station
boss without a moments hesitation.
Mr.. Born and Mr.. Grauvopel
have discussed Spots change of
heart and have tried to restore him
to his former surroundings but he
Will have none of it. He inhabits
the 5. P. depot and like before,
gets his sole diversion in following
the head of the station out when
ne goes to attend to down town
company business. Mr.. Born has
been joked good deal since Spot
adopted him and has been accused
of the double crime Of seeking To
get railroad traffic from the COM
peting railroaa ana stealing its
favorite station pet.

One Minute Story

"Spot is not a Winnemucca boy
with a freckled face as the name
might imply. but bright little Fox
Terrier dog with a very pronounced
tail wagging penchant. For long
time he had been regular attache
at the Western Pacific depot and
his presence was expected just as
regularly as the day rolled around.
He formed a peculiar attachment
for Joe Grauyogel, station agent
for his favorite railroad and follow
ed him everywhere. He was quite
prone to attend Mr.. Grauvogel when
he went to his meals and he kept
himself in splendid physical trim
by a diet that was excellent viewed
from the canine standard. His sin
gle diversion consisted of fighting
other dogs and having come down
from a long line of fighting ances-
tors that counted nerve as an out
standing characteristic, Spot never
faltered when the onslaught came.
So it happened that Mr.. Grau-
vogel grew to be proud of his little
companion and gave him added def
erence and kindly attention.
But Spot proved tickle even to
the point of the reputed fickleness
of womankind and tired of his sur
The w. p. depot seemed
to him to be beyond the confines of
this thriving metropolis and he
showed his displeasure for many
days. Throughout this period he
would pause as Mr.. Grauvogel
walked along and fasten his teeth
in the legs of his pantaloons and
strive to get him to change his
course in an opposite direction
from the place where Mr.. Grauvogel
spends his workadays. He made
every effort to change Mr.. Grau-
vogel from the w. p. depot to an
