ADVANCES 40 MILLIONS
Government VIII Aid Banks in Moving
COuntry's Crops.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Twenty-
five to fifty million dollars of govern
ment funds will be deposited in the ma
tional banks Of the South and West at
once by Secretary McAdoo to facilitate
the movement Of crops.
Federal, state and municipal bonds
and prime commercial paper will be &C.
cepted as security for the money, on
which the banks will pay per cent.
interest.
The motive Of Secretary McAdoo in
announcing this policy is to anticipate
the money stringency in the late sum-
mer and fall, which Invariably accom-
panies the marketing and movement Of
crops, especially when they are unus-
ually large, as the harvest now begin
ming forecasts. He intends to take
time by the forelock and prevent or
minimize the usual tightness Of money.
For the first time in history the gov
eminent will accept prime commercial
paper as security for deposits. This
privilege will be granted, it is an
nounced by the secretary, in order to
make these special deposits available
to banks on securities readily within
! their report.
Following this announcement repre-
sentative bankers of SO large cities in
the agricultural regions of the South,
Middle West and Pacific Coast were
invited by Secretary McAdoo to come
to Washington to confer with the treas
ury department regarding the distri-
button of the $5O,00O,OOO of government
funds.
This unprecedented step, which call
ed to Washington bankers from the
centers that will finance the handling
of the great crops soon to be harvest
ed. is designed to give the secretary
first hand information and advice as to
the specific and relative needs of each
of the farming districts.
Treasury officials declared that the
entire $5O,OOO,OOO which has been Of
fered will be deposited If the situation
demands it. 1t was explained that care
would be taken to prevent any undue
imitation of the circulating volume of
money and that the government would
deposit only what was needed to assist
in moving the crops, with the stipula-
ton that it must be returned to the
treasury as soon as that need shall
have passed.

MODERN GIRLS
BY WALT MASON.

Our modern girls are talented In 81
ways; I'm full of admiration when I
watch their skillful plays. One dam
sci wears her brothers clothes and at
the tennis court convinces an the look
ers on that she's nifty sport: an
other drives motor car with won
drous grace and ease, and runs down
a pedestrian and breaks him at the
knees; another takes her fountain pen
and writes gripping book; they are
all wonders in their way, but mighty
few can cook! l read of girls on aerS-
planes, and girls who practice Law,
and dentist girls who dig the teeth
from out your aching jaw; and preach
er girls, and painter girls are every
where look; they're demonstrating
lots of things-but mighty few can
cook. And in a million gloomy homes
good grub is being spoiled, and wives
are busy frying things which rightly
should be boiled; they're busy baking
loaves of bread as hard as brick or
stone; they ruin everything they touch,
while heartsick husbands groan; they
do not know chicken from buzzard
or rock; they're great on elocution.
but they don't know how to cook. Oh,
I am full Of sympathy, my good old
bosom aches. for husbands who must
fill themselves with charred and
stringy steaks. who once had dreams of
pleasant home and cheerful inglenook.
and hooked up with the gifted girls
who never learned to cook!

The Arizona car went to Clifton. 1t

Coincident with the interstate con-

mission reducing the annual revenues
of the Wells-Fargo company in thax

the public service commission of Wash

state.
The Washington investigation had
been held up pending the action of the
interstate commerce commission, but
with the PRONUNCIATION of its decision
this week the local commission was al
forded basis upon which to work.
These reductions ordered by the in

Saving the Farmer.
There is not a United States senator
who does not specialize in cultivating

that he exclaimed: THE thing that
struck me with surprise was how the
American farmer struggled along in
this country for some two or three
hundred years before the senator from
Kansas appeared upon the floor of the
senate as guardian ad litem for all
rural folk" That's sample of the
senatorial courtesy-minus, that the
wise men of the nation are using in
