To Other Counties

Under Observation-Disclosures trea-
hes which the United States has
with other countries, all concessions
granted Canada viii be given TO
every other country except Ger
many, which has denounced her
trade treaty with Washington
However, Secretary Hull said coun-
tries other than Canada will obtain
relatively little benefit" because
Canada supplies most Of the Ameri-
can imports Of the commodities COW
cred in the new pact.
Government officials. foreseeing
adverse reaction in some quarters
because OF some OF the sliced Ameri-
can duties, sought to show the pact
would lead TO greatly increased trade
and employment which would bene-
fit the country. The state depart
ment also said:
while our agriculture and our
industry VIII benefit largely from
the expansion Of their Canadian
sales, the agreement leaves fer both
agriculture and industry adequate
protection IN the domestic market,
even though IL opens TO Canadian
producers a larger share in that
market.
TO consumers. moreover, the e
auctions in III duties will be Of much
benefit, by checking unreasonable
increases in prices Of the conSum-
ers' commodities concerned"
President Roosevelt stressed while
duties were lowered on Canadian
cattle, cream, seed potatoes and GER
tain kind Of lumber. quotas placed
on these articles would prevent SER
ious interference with the Ameri-
can market.
For example. he said the quota Of
100000 gallons OF cream annually
was less than one per cent Of the
American consumption. The state
department emphasized that duties
on potatoes for consumption had not
been cut.

Catch the Reader Young

Thus does the library become the

Good books, Of course. for they are
great character builders and the
more We read them the more they in

Whether we realize 1t or not good

in field kitchens.

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. IL GN.S0
For the first time in 10 years, a
ella monster won the Desert
August Sweepstakes at Yellow
Bird!
News of the annual race was
brought here on horseback today
by Judge S. w. Purcell, pioneer
Arizona attorney, prospector and
founder Of Yellow Bird, a mining
town, so miles west of here.
The monster defeated a rattle
snake for the grand trophy of
two eggs.
The annual race started de-
cade ago when two prospectors
could not settle an argument
about which could run the fastest,
monster or RATHER.
The sweepstakes takes place
over hundred yard course which
is laid out into two wooden tracks
to keep the sprinters travelling in
straight line. Last year, the
ella monster climbed over the one
foot board fence separating him
from the snake and almost killed
the winner before the judges could
separate them.
Judge Purcell said the monster
averaged little better than three
miles an hour. This is under the
record of four miles an hour

MAD SWIMMER
NOT ABLE TO
TELL STORY

BOSTON, Aug. IL u.N.SO.
"It's q miracle how he lived so
long in the sharkinfeSted
waters"
So said Capt. John Nattestad,
Of the trawler Notre Dame today
in describing the rescue Of Walter
Robillard, 80, found half-crazy
swimming in heavy sea $50
miles off shore.
Captain Nattestad was unable
to throw any light on how Mr..
Robillard got into the sea.
Mr.. Robillard was at Psyche
pathic Hospital, laced in strait
jacket, still unable to reveal his
story.
Members of the crew Of the
Notre Dame told police on the
trawler's arrival from the fishing
banks that Mr.. Robillard was
taken aboard Saturday at the re-
quest of John Soners, fisherman
aboard the trawler for seven years.
Authorities were mystified as to
how and why Mr.. Robillard, who
shipped aboard the fishing
trawler Notre Dame out OF this
port "for his health" plunged into
the wind-swept waters.
His rescue was one Of the most
dramatic in Northeastern sea an
nails. After the crazed man battled
members of the crew OF the
trawler Ripple, who finally sue
ceeded in pulling him aboard. a
Coast Guard seaplane dashed
from Salem to the side Of the
trawler, made safe landing on
the rough waters and brought him
to East Boston, where he was
transferred to Chelsea Naval Hos
pital.
Aboard the Notre Dame, Mr..
Robillard's absence was not dis
covered until the radio message
from the Ripple to Coast Guard
headquarters was intercepted. A
checkup showed he was missing.
No one had seen him go over
board. He sailed with the Notre
Dame a week ago.
Sunday morning, the Notre
Dame and the Ripple were fishing
within sight of each other. Later,
after the Notre Dame had sailed
out of sight Mr.. Robillard was
discovered by the crew Of the
Ripple and taken aboard.
Mr.. Robillard told hospital au-
thorities where he was brought by
a Coast Guard seaplane after be-
ing picked up by the Ripple:
Il saw the faces of President
Roosevelt and ]. Edgar Hoover
in the water. They dared me to
jump in.
