WASHTNGTON. Dec. I-(SpeciaD Following the forthcoming report of the American commission in Europe, which went abroad to investigate agri- cultural conditions with a view to inn proving the status of the American far mer and reducing the cost of living to the American consumer, there seems but little doubt that legislation recon mended by the commission will pass both houses of congress at the regular session. The commission is composed of many well known men and it's chair man is Senator Duncan |. Fletcher of Florida
 Among those very much interested in the information gathered by the commission is Senator r. M. Simmons of North CaroniIa, chairman of the fi- nance committee. He will study the questions of cooperative banking in stitutiOns and other cO-opera tive enter prises as they relate to the farmer. and present to congress a bill that would help the producer get more for his crops and at the same time greatly re- duce the interest on money to farmers and extend the time of loans.
 T am convinced that we must change our system of marketing farm products before We reduce the cost of living" said Senator Simmons T do not be- lieVe that there is any scarcity of eggs now, yet in some cities the consumer is paying 75 cents a dozen for them. On my farm in North Carolina we put in eight acres of Irish potatoes last spring. We got just enough out of the potatoes grown to pay for the fertilizer used on them. We got nothing for the labor We were told that the markets were glutted. The truth is those po- tatoes were bought up by speculators. put in storage, and are now being sold in small lots at fancy prices. The same sort of conditions as to eggs and pota- toes are true in the case of other farm products. In one locality the market may be glutted, while in another it is short and the price is high
 T shall study carefully the report of the American commission in Europe and try to formulate a bill that will remedy present conditions Being a farmer myself-a truck farmer at that T can speak for the producer.
 Senator Simmons thinks that some general plan by which the farmer. can be assisted by long and short loans of money will have more to do with re- ducing the cost of living than any other sort of legislation
 We have been IegisIating for the manufacturer. the Iaborer and other classes of Americans for years. but we have neglected the farmer" said Sena- tor Simmons
 Several bills based on the facts taken from the information. gathered by the American commission in Europe have been introduced in congress.

names and addresses of the little fel- lows that you are to look after for Christmas time and you will proceed to look after them.
 It has this advantage. It puts you personally in touch with the needy. It makes the needy ones feel that there is some one who thinks enough of them to supply them with pleasure and comfort and joy at Christmas time. It destroys the idea of jealousy that often exists at Christ mas time when gifts are publicly given around.
 One good woman who has been giving Christmas dinners to her friends every year at a great expense yesterday announced that she would look after a few of the needy and let those able to look after themselves do so. It was said, however, in the kindest manner possible, betokening a kind heart.

Miss Wainwright in the role of Mrs. Mazuma, whose one aim in life is to spend all of her husbands money is cast for a frivolous society butterfly, and renders a very pleasing performance Miss Simpson as the daughter, while she has not much to do in the lines of the bill more than makes up for it in the clever manner in which she is singing That Naughty Melody.
