WE MUST SAVE FOODSTUFFS

we notice that many communities in
different sections of the state are or
ganizing canneries 80 as to be prepared
to take care of and preserve much of
the surplus foodstuff which is going to
be made this year. This is good idea
and we suggest that there should be a
cannery established at or near Pickens,
where people who raise large amounts
of perishablo foodstuR may get it put
up In shape so that it will Yeep. There
would be no good in raising lot of
stuff to eat and then allow it to 20 to
waste.
We call this to the attention of our
people and hope someone will take steps
to put cannery in operation here.

OFFICIALS UNCOVER BlG
 CONTEMPLATING SCHEME
RAMiFlcATIONS EXTENDED TO EUROPE, SOUTH AMERICA
 AND UNITED STATES

New York. Dec, 10.-Counterfeiting schemes said to involve more than s1,OOO000 and whose qualifications ex- tended to Europe. South America and the United States were disclosed here tonight when William J. Flynn. chief of the United States secret service announced that an elaborate plant for printing spurious money and French passports had been seized in this city and that the third arrest of those in volved was made here today.
 Eugene Paroid, a lawyer, was ar'- rested in connection with the case on 8 charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice in advising his client, Louis, de Shelley, also known as Marcos Con- zales, to default cash bail and flee from the United States after he had been indicted on a charge of attempt ing to pass a counterfeit 1000 franc note on a Wall street bank last Au- gust.
 De Shelley. who is said to be a relative of a Guatemalan official in Paris, is being held in Havana. Cuba. for extradition to the United States.
 Leon Crosswald was arrested hero last week and secret service men de- clared he gave information that led to the raid on a boarding house where the counterfeiting plant had been placed in suitcases for ready removal.
 In the suitcases were found print Ing presses, plates, engravers tools and a bundle of franc notes amount ing to $125,000 Investigation is said to have disclosed that the entire plant was brought here from San Sebas- ton, Spain, early last April and with it bundle of more than sl,006,000 in spurious franc notes Of this amount the secret service men declared that at least $65. 900 has been put in cir culation in the United States.

FARM LOAN RATES
 TO BE ADVANCED
ABOUT s3O,0Oo,Oo0 HAS BEEN PLACED WITH APPLICATIONS
 AMOUNTING TO $500, 100000.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Tne general upward movement Of interest rates was recognized today by the federal farm loan board by raising the rate cn government loans to farmers from to , l-2 per cent in anticipation of g later increase in the present 4 1-2 Der cent rate Of farm loan bonds. De- cision probably will be reached tomor- row whether to raise the bond inter est rate at this time or to reduce the selling price which heretofore has been at premium of l Is per cent
 In spite of the decision reached by the farm loan board, Secretary Mo AdoO said today he hoped future is- sues of Liberty bonds would bear 1 per cent, the same as the second loan.
 One of the immediate effects of the higher farm loan rates, it is said, will be to encourage a similar advance of private mortgage loan rates on land, which now range from 1-2 to 2 per cent above the government loans Reports reached the treasury today that several insurance companies with big loans on middle western farm lands had decided to make no new loans.
 This, it was pointed out, would tend Go raise the cost of loans.
 The farm loan system has placed nearly S&o0o0,000 in loans since it started operation six months ago and applications for $300,o0o0C are pend ing Private loans outstanding on farm lands in the entire country are estimated at nearly S40o0.000 000. The new interest rate announced to- day will not apply to leans approved by any of the farm land banks though not actually completed.
