RURAL CREDITS issue DEFEATED
TEMPORARILY, WILL FORCE THE
ATTENTION OF NEXT CONGRESS
By Congressman Edward Heating

Washington, D. C.-The days of
miracles have not passed-at least
not in the Congress of the United
States.
Suppose that a month ago some
one had told you that full-aedged
rural-credit system-a plan by
which Uncle Sam was to lend mil
lions to the farmers of the nation
and take as security first mortgages
on their land-could be put through
the United States Senate without
debate and without dissenting
vote, what would you think of such
a fairy-tale and the teller thereof?
Yet. that is exactly what hap
pened in the closing hours of the SD
Congress. And thereby hangs a
most interesting tale.
We have heard a good deal about
rural credit legislation during the
last two or three years. Everybody
seemed to favor the idea but not
more than dozen members of Con-

the House. however. Instead they
suggested the appointment of .
joint commission, composed OF SEN
ators and Representatives, to study
the rural credit systems of other
countries and report bill to the
Gath Congress next December.
In sporting parlance, 1t was
dog og-fall'-neither side had tri-
umphed-but the rural credits issue
has received such publicity that 1t
can no longer be pigeon-holed.
The next Congress will be COM
PEELED to face the music and the re-
suit will be legislation which will
permanently emancipate the farmers
of this country from the shackles OF
the money-lenders.

To the Housewife

Madam, if your husband Is like
most men he expects you to look
after the health of yourself and
children. Coughs and colds are the
most common of the minor ailments
and are most likely to lead to seri-
Gus diseases. A child is much more
likely to contract diphtheria or scar
let fever when it has cold. If
you will inquire into the merits of
the various remedies that are rec
ommended for coughs and colds,
you will find that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy stands high In the
estimation of people who use 1t. 1t
is prompt and effectual, pleasant
and safe to take. which are qualities
especially to be desired when a med
icine is intended for children. For
