"Oh, but cannot afford to do any

wonder II any Of my horses have been
sold to men who are not kind to them"
And the farmers wife talked very
hard to the rich lady. She said that
they were keeping Betty though Betty
was Of no more use to them. But she
said that they had not forgotten that
Betty had been a good horse all her
life and now they felt she deserved
the comforts Of home in her old age.
She said she thought 1t was cruel to
forget the kindness of an animal just
as 1t was cruel to forget friend who
had been kind to one and whom later
on one could help.
But the rich lady wanted sympathy
for parting with her horses and yet
she would not give up the little money
she made by selling them!
And from then on the farmers wife
never asked her to visit again, though

Often other horses would come over
to her from the deld and they would
stand on either side of the fence and
look at each other and talk and hold
horse conversations. How they did
seem to enjoy standing over the fence
and talking to Betty.
Betty's hair was coming out. Her
tail was a thin little affair now and
her face was becoming thinner and
quite, quite gray. Oh. yes, she looked
like an old horse. But sometimes, on
nice day, Betty would feel quite
young again.
She would jump about her own pri-
vate little yard and she would frisk
about and cry, Neigh, neigh. neigh,

Then the children would come to
Betty and they would talk to her and
they would put their faces close to

And the dear, faithful old horse
would whisper back In her sweet horse
way, Neigh. neigh. children dear,

President to Control the Tariff Board

nv WASHINGTON. - President
M Harding intends to keep
w personal control over in
vestigations by the tariff
commission under the flexible pro-
visions Of the tariff law.
This was Indicated in an official
statement made public by the tariff
commission announcing the policy
agreed upon at conference with the
President. 1t was stated in the an
nouncement that such Investigations
as are made without any formal ap-
plications as basis will be launched
only after conference with the Presi-
dent This means that the President
upheld the contention Of Thomas O..
Marvin, chairman Of the commission,
who insisted the power to change
duties is vested In the President.
The effect Of the Presidents posi-
tfon is to nullify the action taken by
the commission at the instance of w.
8. Culbertson, vice chairman, on
March ordering broad Investigations
into all duties on such commodities as
wool. steel. pottery. and glassware.
Under the Culbertson program the
commission would have gone ahead on
these Investigations.
1t Will be necessary for the commits
Sion to make preliminary survey in
cases where no application has been
hled for change in rates before
consulting with the President as to
whether formal investigations will be
ordered under section 315, the flexible
provision Of the tariff law. The pre-
limnary survey would be conducted
The Dolores star., 1923-05-25

under section 31s for the Information
Of the President and congress.
The formal statement follows:
"At conference at the White
House. President Harding considered
with the tariff commission a program
to put into effective operation the flex-
ible provisions Of the tariff act Of
September 21, 1922. The President
laid stress upon the usefulness of this
statute and indicated a strong desire
to see 1t fully applied.
petitions and applications for in
crease or reduction In rates are to be
considered by the commission in ac-
cordance with the executive order of
October to determine whether for
NAL Investigations are warranted.
'In cases where no petition has
been filed, whenever a preliminary in
quiry or survey discloses sufficient
grounds, under the law. the commits
sion, after conference with the Presi-
dent, will order such formal investiga-
tions as the facts may warrant.
Each formal Investigation, however
Instituted. will begin with an order
giving public notice to all Interested
parties"
Republicans who are close to the ad-
mlnlstration declared that President
Harding. while anxious that the fiex-
ible tariff provisions shall be invoked
whenever necessary to adjust duties
to meet postwar emergencies, does
not intend that the commission shall
go ahead with what would amount to
Il general revision of the tariff law.

English 500 and the boy cashed a
check ne gave him. in payment of hos

turned and went TO protest a second
time. The debt was then called to the
attention of Legion post com

creditor and paid English in fun. The
former soldier, through his grateful
mother, expressed appreciation of the
Legion's effort in settling the matter.

improvements for Relief Of Soldiers in
Accord With Legion Policies,
Director Says.

Practically all accomplishments OF
the United States veterans bureau, re-
garded by Director Frank T. Hines as
noteworthy Improvements for the re-
lief of the soldier, have been advo-
Gated, and are in accord with the pol
icies OF the American Legion, accord
ing to Joseph Sparks, chairman of the
national rehabilitation committee Of
the American Legion.
Among the recent actions of the
bureau for the relief of the disabled
man have been provisions for perma-
nent partial status to disabled bene-
ficiaries now receiving compensation
on temporary partial rating, thereby
reducing medical examinations, elm
mating inconvenience to employed
benefciaries and reducing travel and
personnel.
Another forward step Of the bureau,
strongly advocated by the Legion was
the employment Of effective methods Of
placement OF vocational trainees,
which has been successful in securing
positions for 81 per cent of the trainees.
Internal changes in the operation OF
the bureau are the elimination of ad-
ministration overhead expense, by clos
Ing IS suhdistrict Offices; concentra-
ton Of bureau supplies in three large
central depots and inventory Of all
these supplies to eliminate further pur-
chases; establishing of a record sec
ton in the supply division; consolida-
ton Of similar duties in central offices
under one head; establishment Of an
inspection division, contemplated by
the law, but never before established;
the closing of contracts for institutions
where settlements had not been effect
ed and where the institutions were
not being used. One OF the principal
achievements, declares Director Hines,
is the placing of the bureau on a strict
budget system.

SAVE VETERAN FROM ASYLUM
Ex.servce Man Sent to Hospital for
Observation, Through Action Of
Auxiliary Official.

Carl Huff, a World war veteran OF
Alex, Okla. was saved from a mad
house because members OF the Ameri-
can Legion auxiliary saw to 1t that he
was sent to a hospital for observation
rather than TO be incarcerated in an
asylum for the insane.
Huff was in overseas service for 10
months and returned broken in health.
Continual brooding over the condition
of a brother who had contracted tuber-
culosis in service, caused the man to
become morbid and extremely nervous.
He was taken to Chickasha before a
sanity commission, adjudged insane
and ordered to the state asylum at
Norman, to be accompanied by a
deputy sheriff When news reached
the Office of Mrs. Blanche Freeman.
national executive committee member
Of the American Legion auxiliary, Mrs.
Freeman, through the aid of county
officials, was authorized to oyertake
the party and direct the officer and his
charge to a hospital for observation
and treatment. Huff is now receiving
care due an ex-service man, and the
Legion is fighting his claim for com
pensation through with the veterans
bureau.
