for animals quickly solved the prob lem of making suitable charge for the expected emergency shipments of water. A distance scale was laid down for the bulk movement of dampness, on basis of meeting a part of the cost entailed upon the carrier for the service, and the ap plication of its benefits was placed under the same control that applies to the other relief rates.
 A few carriers in the west do have regular rates governing the trans port of water in bulk between a few points. but the territory affected is so used to dryness that-with small exCeption-it is not being made the object of relief efforts this year. All carriers have schedules for miner al and spring waters of the expen- sive class which move in glass jars, the new mileage scales, however, go on the ordinary river or creek stuff which COWS, lacking the home rain supply, will be glad to drink.

DRY AGENT SUSPENDED
 FOR DRAWING WEAPON
Action Against Milwaukee Man Follows Alteration
 With MOtOrist

Washington, August IS tP,-Pro- hibitlon Agent Robert F. Myrtle of Milwaukee has been suspended for five days without pay for drawing a gun on a motorist with whom he had become engaged in personal altercation over traffic rules.
 The suspension was announced today by Amos W. W. Woodcock, director of prohibition. who said a similar punishment had been meted out to Agent Basil Quinn of Wash ington, D. C., for striking a motor ist in an argument over right of way.
 The Myrtle incident occurred in Milwaukee on July 2o. Woodcock said Myrtle left his automobile and attempted 10 arrest William A. French, while the latter asked him for his authority,
 Whereupon, the prohibition di- rector continued, Myrtle drew his revolver and pointed 1t at French with the remark that the weapon was his authority.
 Woodcock said the penalties were to be considered as an effort to oh- tain results without too drastic punishment. He added he was mak- ing an attempt to build up public respect for prohibition agents in which disciplining the agents for misbehavior holds an important part.
 A five day suspension without pay carries a pecuniary loss to the agent or about s35.

 Hartford Aug. IS LPy-Scores of tobacco growers are in a serious plight as a result Of the severe hail storm which Saturday morning swept portions Of the Connecticut river valley causing a loss estimated today at nearly $1,00Q,0OO.
 The following statement was is sued this noon by a group of prom lnent agriculturists, tobacco mer- chants, and state officials who met In the Hartford county building this morning to discuss relief for tobac- co growers, who suffered in Satur- day'sestorm, The meeting reopened this afternoon after a recess for luncheon.
 That there is no prospect for fed eral aid for the Connecticut valley tobacco growers who suffered in the recent hail storms was the opinion of the group. This conclusion is based on the experience of last year, when an exhaustive study of the needs of the growers in the hail damaged area and the possibilities of relief definitely showed that federal aid of any considerable proportions is available only through farmer CO., operatives.
 Limited Aid Possible
 The very limited financial aid that was extended last year in cases Of urgent need was provided locally and 1t is thought the same course Will have to be followed this year.
 Exception the fact that for some growers this is the second consecu i've loss the situation would not be as serious as year ago because of the fact that practically every grow CT has harvested a part of his crop" Those present at the meeting were samuel R. Spencer, state treasurer.
