PICKARD DRICB fixing by 1 stabilization has finally been abandoned aban-doned by the federal feder-al farm board, aa a great many cltl-ten cltl-ten believe It should have been long ago. Carl Williams, Wil-liams, vice chairman chair-man of the board, announced that no . ...mi further purchases Cart Williams, of wheat or cot(on would be considered under any circumstances. cir-cumstances. "Stabilization," said Mr. Williams, "Is valuable In the face of temporary tempo-rary or seasonal surpluses. But the board has discovered, and It hopes that the American people have discovered, dis-covered, that continued purchases In the face of continued production Is not a remedy for the agricultural situation." The board's cessation of wheat buying had previously been announced, an-nounced, but the statement of Its determination to withdraw from the cotton market was new, and was not pleasant news for the southern planters. E. A. Cudahy, Jr., president of the Cudahy Tacking company, gave notice that his company would Invest In-vest 10 per cent of Its southern sales up to December 1 la cotton bought on the open market, the total to-tal to be thus Invested being esti mated at about $1,000,000. The cotton cot-ton will be held by the Cudahy com-panj com-panj for one year If necessary, or until such time as cotton returns to 10 cents a pound. The first purchase pur-chase were made at about 7 cents a pound. WHATEVER the poor farm board does seems to anger a lot of Americans. The trade of wheat for coffee, with Drur.Ii, appeared ap-peared to be a wise move, but Erst the shipping interests walled because be-cause the grain was to go In Bra-tlllan Bra-tlllan ships; then the coffee dealers deal-ers In the United States raised a howl thM their trade would be Injured and now ttia Milters' 'nMnnnl fntlnrnflnn la nn In urmii .,... v, ,,,. , ... . , . , tusoii tor me piuiv. v. millers Is that Brazil, as one result cf the wheat-coffee barter, has declared de-clared an embargo on all Imports f flour for eighteen months. Most of the flour for South American export la milted In Buffalo, N. Y and several southern cities, and the millers there will be hard hit by the embargo. And that Isn't all. Argentina heretofore has been the granary for Brazil, and the deal witb the fnrra board virtually kills the sale of nearly 10,000.000 bushels bush-els of Argentine grain to Brazil annually. an-nually. The Argentine government has registered a formal protest In Washington, but of course the denl will go through anyhow. If the farm board reaches terms with China for the sale of a lot of wheat on long term credit. It la possible some of the old shipping board vessels will be resuscitated to carry the grain and will then be sold In the Orient. It, Is also suggested sug-gested that this wheat be shipped 1l cotton bags, which would help, by 7.500.000 bags. In reducing the cotton surplus. It Is figured this whole plan would give employment to much American labor. No solution of the cotton problem has yet been reached. The Louisiana Louisi-ana legislature, at the behest of Governor Long, passed a bill prohibiting pro-hibiting the planting of cotton In 1932, with the provision that the governor might suspend It If states raising 75 per cent of the crop failed to adopt similar legislation. This put the matter up to Texas, producer of one-third of the nation's cotton crop, and the sentiment In Governor Long's scheme. For one thing, the cotton raisers of the South have neither the equipment nor the experience to raise any other crops. GENEVA w a swanning with statemM and political po-litical scientists during the week. Economic experts from twenty-six nations assembled there as a co-ordinating committee of the commission for European onion, and the conne II of the League of Nations met on Tuesday; Tues-day; while the members of the league assembly were gathering for the sessions of that body beginning be-ginning September 7. Most of the topnotchers were In the Swiss city, and not the least nor the idlest was Maxim Lltvlnov. that wily and skillful skill-ful statesman who Is the Soviet commissar for foreign affairs. The Bret thing thus Russian did was to submit to the co-ordinating committee a proposal for a general sco-aggresalon pact Andre Fran- cols-Poncet. French delegate, tried to have the plan referred to the economic eco-nomic committee of the league where It could be allowed to die, for France likes better the Idea of separate non-aggression treaties. Lltvlnov. vigorously seconded by Doctor Curtius and Dlno Grandl, Italian foreign minister, Insisted upon Immediate action. The committee com-mittee finally agreed to pass the plan over to a subcommittee which was to edit It and report back to co-ordinating committee, Germany and Austria, after conference con-ference with the French delegates, agreed to drop their plan for a cus toms union without waiting for the decision of the World court's ruling as to Its legality. OECRETAKY of the Treasury Mel'ion placed on the market new government securities totaling $1,-100.000,000 $1,-100.000,000 to start the fail financing financ-ing campaign of the treusury. Treasury bonds for $800,000,000 headed the list. They run for 20 to 24 years and bear S per cent Interest, In-terest, the lowest since the war. The rest of the total sum was made up of $300,000,000 of one-year treasury treas-ury certificates of Indebtedness bearing Interest at the rate of 1U per cent. It was revealed In Washington that the government would need probably all of this huge sum to retire re-tire maturing obligations and to finance treasury operations during the next quarter, which makes it apparent that the deficit at the end of the year will far exceed that for the last twelve months. In some quarters it Is predicted that the deficit, taking Into consideration the fact thqt there will be no war debt payments this year, will run above a billion and a quarter. The public debt during the course of the year. If no move la made to increase receipts, may be Increased as much as a billion dollars. GREAT BRIT-aln's BRIT-aln's financial credit was restored when American and T. C. T. Craln r - ' ' ' i A r M. Norman. French bankers, led I s1e by J. P. Mo, Agreed to lend the government $400,-000,000 $400,-000,000 for one year. In America the loan one-half of the total was absorbed by the banks; but one-half one-half of the French share was offered of-fered to the public. The French were elated over the arrangement, looking on it as a fine political coup which would bring Britain into in-to close collaboration with them both economically and politically. England's financial troubles, however, how-ever, are likely to result In the downfall of one of her financial giants Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England. It Is believed be-lieved he will be retired at the end of his present term. Mr. Norman was reported to be on the verge of a nervous and physical breakdown at the time of the crisis, and he hurried over to Canada for a vacation, va-cation, leaving his associates to get out of the mess as best they could. It was said, too. that before leaving leav-ing he tried to Induce Mr. Morgan to place the entire loan In Amer-Ica. Amer-Ica. shutting out France, and that this was reported to the French.

The final blow to the rebel cause came with the surrender of Col, Roberto Men-des Men-des I'enate, last of Its big militant leaders, and the departure for New York of Dr. Miguel Mariano Gomez, former rooyor of Havana. Naclon-allsta Naclon-allsta circles were shocked when word of Senor Gomez departure became be-came known, tie had been believed to be the only man with sufficient support to keep up the revolutionary revolution-ary spirit. FRANK T.

SEVERAL Incidents Inci-dents within the last few days have served to bolster op the Roosevelt boom for the Democratic Presidential nomination. nomi-nation. After angering an-gering Tammany Q n n A f ontlv - h I ' 1 supporting the tican legislators of New York In the Investigation of the administration of New York city, the governor smoothed all this out by approving the demand of Tammany that the Inquiry be enlarged to take in the whole state. Then came the report of Samuel Seabury, commissioner. In the case of District Attorney Thomas C. T.- Craln. Mr. Seabury mildly censured Cruln but recommended recom-mended that he should not be removed re-moved ' from office. The worst he had to say against Craln, after months of delving Into his record was that the Tammany prosecutor had "busied himself Ineffectively" and that particularly as regards the racketeering situation, had failed to act "In a fitting and competent manner." Mr. Craln being a good Tammany man, the supposed breach between Governor Roosevelt and Tammany was still further lessened, and the prospect that he would have the support of the entire Democracy of New York In next year's convention was still further increased. ONE of those brutal crimes that shock the nation occasionally came to light when Harry Powers of Clarksburg, W. Va., confessed that he had murdered Mrs. Asta Etcher of Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago, and her three children, and also Mrs. Dorothy Lemke of Massachusetts. The bodies of his five victims were found buried under un-der his garage.

Loren Garde, recently an of-ncer of-ncer under General Jackson, is surprised by the appearance or three Ogurea. In ancient Spanish costume, two men and a woman whose beauty enchants him. Resenting- the arrogance of the elder eld-er ot the two men, Garde fights a duel with him and wounds blm. He learns his opponent ts ollo de Fuentes, colonel In the Spanish army In Venezuela. Garde overhears over-hears plot to overthrow Spanish rule In Venezuela. Discovered he flKhts, but Is overpowered. Garde nnds himself a prisoner on the Santa Lucrecla, bearing arms and ammunition for the Venezuelans under fiolivar. On board are the conspirators he had overheard, the lady of his love, her brother Po-lito, Po-lito, and De Fuentes. From the girl. Garde learns her name Is Duloe Lamartina.

There Garde is welcomed at revolutionary revolution-ary hesdquartera. He goes to the wedding of Dulce and De Fuentes. Dulce recognizes him and leaves De Fuentes at the altar. She ts torn from Garde's arms, but he escapes. Du!ce makes her way to . Garde. She tells him her wedding to De Fuentes was to have been the price of Garde's life. They reveal their mutual love. Garde Is seised by Spanish soldiers, and learns Dulce has disappeared. He Is rescued by Manuel, a revolutionist revolu-tionist rnd with Pollto sets out for Bolivar's camp. CHAF7ER VICoatinued He was silent, and I continued: "I have told the Senorita, Pollto, of my love, and failed miserably, as I deserve." He offered no comment. "She told me, today, In the home of the good Tonias, that tomorrow she would wed De Fuentes." "No," be whispered, "no!" "A sort oi sacriSce. my friend, for wfiafshe Imagines I have done for her; a thing that makes me rove, her very much." "But she would not" he said. "Not now, there Is no need.

I Pollto put out a gauntleted hand. "What?" he questioned. "You have ?" "I have done everything .but kill him, my friend, and Manuel and his courageous Intrigants Btayed me Just In time. Something In my blood calls for his life. We are proud. Polito, and he has called me ladrone. ' In New Orleans did he not try to kill me?" Pollto nodded, and many weary miles were put behind us before another word was spoken. The moon was yet an hour above the crest of the Carabobo hills when we passed through the sleeping hamlet ham-let of Cua and, turning our horses toward the southeast, took the troad road that led to Ocumare. From Ocumare we went south again, between fields of cane and maize, and of melons barely visible vis-ible In the graying dawn. Swiftly we took the gentle ascent as-cent approaching the broad range that is the barrier between the waters wa-ters of the Orinoco and the Caribbean Carib-bean sea. We thundered through a canan, and a pass opened out ahead of us. a wide pass on the southern rim of a vast amphitheater. Here we stopped our panting horses and surveyed the scene ahead of os. Beyond the pass would lay, manifestly, the valley of the Orinoco, Ori-noco, and the valley of the Orinoco would be, we knew, under control of those who served Rollvar. "Pollto." I said, "I do not know why yon have accompanied me thus far, but I am sure we approach the lines of the revolutionists. You are, therefore, in danger, for a Spanish officer In the hands of Venezuelans Venezue-lans who have heard, ere this, of Tucayan, would have little chance for his life. Ocumare, with safety for you, lies not far behind us." He sat with bead averted. ! do not care," he whispered; "could we not V ' "You throw your life away, Senor; besides, the Senorita Dulce will surely need you," VUl- Senor," he whispered, 1 think It had been his desire to ask what chance I, in Spanish uniform, uni-form, mljiht have with the followers follow-ers of Bolivar, tut an Interruption came, an Interruption in the guise of a body of armed horsemen, who approaching from the southward! appeared In the pass, weapons gleaming hi the morning light. "I am terrified, Senor!" I turned upon my companion In amazement, for Polito would never bs.?e said that "Mother of G-d. Venorlta, what madness is this"" I had ridden beside her through the night, had talked of many things, what had I said, what uHd blunders had I made?

"You will be safe in Ocumare. Dismounting I caught the br die of her horse and whirled him around toward the north. When this nightmare of murder is over, Senorita, shall I find you-? She nodded. "God preserve you, Senor," she said softly. "Adlos, then!" She waved an arm and, bending low in the saddle, disappeared in the mouth of the canyon. The sounds of her going had died away before the revolutionists came to where I stood waiting. They circled around me, guns to the fore, and I raised my empty .hands above my head. "Take me to your officer," I said, a great happiness filling my soul. So, closely guarded by at least a score of horsemen, I rode slowly slow-ly across the amphitheater and through the wide pass, coming at last to a level space where a body of men encamped beside the road. None, so far as I could see, was In uniform except one tall man. One of my captors spat out a stream of unintelligible Jargon, and the officer's face grew grimmer as the story proceeded. Now he faced me, his black eyes holding a hostile glint "You may tell me who you are, my captain." "I am Loren Garde, an American, Ameri-can, come to offer service to Bolivar." Boli-var." "In a Spanish uniform! A likely tale, Senor. Why do you offer service serv-ice to our general?" "Because I do not like the Spanish," Span-ish," I said. He showed white teeth In a pleased grin. "If you do not like the Spanish, Senor, why the uniform?" uni-form?" "One must go through the lines of Spain; this uniform has been borrowed for the occasion, and, the former owner of It doubtless nurses a broken head." I smiled reassuringly, but met no response in his eyes. "Your story Is Interesting, Senor. Now telj, me, if your desire to serve us Is sincere, why you aided the Spanish officer to escape." What could I say, Could I tell him that the Snanish of!W tn Senorita LamartlniV tianCee ol Colonel de Fuentes, and that I, Whitng to offer service to Bolivar, Boli-var, had sent her back to the safety of the Spanish lines? Could I have hoped to make him believe such a preposterous tale? "Perhaps," said the officer after what he must have considered a sufficient wait, "perhaps this com-panero com-panero of yours was the Dauphin in disgulse--eh?" "We might Just as well call him the Dauphin," I said hopelessly. He offered another mirthless smile. "Tucayan, Senor, has left an evil flavor in the mouth, and the blood of many Spaniards will be required to wash It out"- He transfixed me with an accusing eye. wno sent you Here?" "Manuel," said I. He gasped. "You say Manuel sent you?" "Aye; the swarthy Manuel, the clever ugly sailor who happens to be that portion of the trains of Bolivar which operates in Caracas." Car-acas." "Humph he growled. He considered con-sidered my horse, and I saw an acquisitive ac-quisitive gleam in Ms black eyes. "A fine horse, Senor." "Aye; a gift from Manuel." "He would look well under a colonel, don't you think?" "Very well, Senor, though, unfortunately unfor-tunately I do not expect to become a colonel." Now he laughed, but his eyes were cold, and hia laughter was not a pleasant thing to hear. "The wings you will soon possess, Senor, will render the use of a poor earth-Iy earth-Iy horse unnecessary." How I wanted to thrust my fist into that smiling face of his, to discompose the even order of his teeth, to get my fingers . . He must have sensed my murderous mur-derous passion, for be uttered a short command, and two of the llaiieros grasped me by the arms. I his officer with the bandaged head whose safety seemed so precious pre-cious a thing to you, Senor, you do not tell me who he is." "The Dauphin will do as well as anyone," said L "Very well; one life Is little enough to spend to save the Dauphin, Dau-phin, i congratulate you. The sun Senor, Is Just coming over the rocky crest of yonder mountain-en mountain-en excellent time Indeed. You may flew it as you die. It Is more than many a poor Venezuelan has been permitted to do." The soldiers must have anticipated antici-pated the wishes of their colonel, tor a squad of eight swung into line between us and the sun, turned to face me, grounded their guns, and waited. I had seen so much of violence and of death since landing In tlits unhappy country that already, 1 had became hardened. caJloused, so that I seemed to be only an onlooker onlook-er to this, my own execution ; and I found myself taking very little interest in-terest In it I found one principal princi-pal regret: that I had come so near fn ,nlflraent -and had failed. Tet I had taken her away .mD Fuentes . . . and she had put her life Into my hands. 1 n;led at the thought of her masquerade. Had I penetrated her disguise earlier how beautiful that sliver night would have been. Well, I had won a portion of her love; I hugged that consolation to my heart as the cynical colonel gave a crisp order that caused the two Indians to release me and to stand clear so an errant bullet might not find them. "I am ready, Senor," said I. "I want you to know," he said slowly, his eyes upon the fine bay horse that had carried me from Caracas, "that I believe every word you have told me. I believe you are Loren Garde, an American, and that you have come to offer service to General Bolivar. I believe Manuel Man-uel sent you here, and that he furnished fur-nished the mount for you ; but your own act In permitting aye, aiding the Spanish officer to escape es-cape condemns you. It makes no difference who he is, If he Is a Spanish officer, your life Is forfeit for-feit The men of Bolivar must be made of sterner stuff.

"Francisco Perez . . . Aqull" Though I had fought the scheming patriot at evry turn, I was sure he stood my friend. "Who is It?" he asked. "It Is I, Garde San Isldro. Don't you remember me? I was on the Santa Lucrecia and In New Orleans. Or-leans. I have dyed my hair." Francisco strode forward, a half-smile half-smile softening the grim lines of his face. He held up his hand. "Wait, Colonel Pinl," he said ; "I know this man." Colonel Pini scowled. "What of It Francisco; has be not" "Yes, my colonel, he has committed com-mitted a grave offense, and he should pay with his life, but I would talk to Mm first If he Is from Manuel he might have things to tell us. He Is an Americano, who has merely followed the lure of a lovely lady." "Does the lady, then, bring him here?" "No," said L "for I had brought the lady. "Did the lady send the Spanish officer with you," Colonel Pinl laughed. "This Dauphin, whose safety?" "No, Colonel ; my companion was the Senorita Dulce Lamartina." "Mother of G d I" Francisco gasped, and Pini's high laughter beat out over the hills. "A builder of fairy tales," said Pint "Could the Americano have entered Caracas and ridden away with the lady whom Fuentes Intended In-tended to marry? Can you believe that story?" I waited. "My Colonel," said Francisco at last, "this young Americano Is not the type of man who lies easily, though the tale Is hardly credible. If he has sent back to safety the lady whom he followed to Caracas, he must have had good reason for so doing, why the crafty Manuel has directed them to the lines of the revolution we do not know, nor can we question Manuel who enjoys the faith and love of Bolivar. I think, therefore, the safest move will be to take him to the general, who, hearing his story, will decide de-cide his fate." Colonel Pinl smiled. "Very well. Francisco, but If Bolivar approves his execution the horse Is mine-remember." mine-remember." "I shall not forget" Francisco said.
