for hogs, but last November assured
producers a minimum price of
$3.50 and has maintained that with
some difficulty.
Food administration officials fur

OR LEAVE CITY

Beginning tomorrow morning,
go to war, go to work or go out
of Ardmore and out of Carter coun-
ty," is to be the slogan of the Car
ter county Council of Defense. The
council will make a raid on all loaf
ers. Men of military age will not
be allowed to remain idle in the

Sured OF the assistance of the Off

not work, may be transferred to
class A and sent into the service.
This is not the only activity mark

BIC WAR FINANCE
CORPORATION BILL
CONFEREES AGREE
REPORT MEASURE WITH
CAPITAL STOCK FIXED AT
FIVE MILLION.
TO LICENSE SECURITIES
Compromise Dispute Over Bond
Authorization and Make the
Amount Three Billions of Dollars
Other Vital Features.

Washington, March 30.-An agree
ment on the administration bill to
create a war finance corporation fix
ing its capital stock at $5OOOOO,OOO,
the amount OF bonds it may issue
at $3,000,000,000, and providing a
voluntary system for licensing Sc
curity issues was reached today by
senate and house conferees.
The corporation will consist OF
Secretary McAdoo, ex-oficio, and
600 each. The voluntary capital is
sue licensing committee will consist
four directors with salaries of $l2,-
of seven members with salaries OF
81 500 each, appointed by the presi-
dent, subject to confirmation by the
senate.
The conferees compromised the
dispute over the bond authoriza-
tion, which had been fixed at ST.
000,000,000 by the senate and $1,000
100000 by the house.
In compromising the dispute over
advances OF the corporation
through Federal Reserve banks, the
conferces provided that the interest
rate shall be per cent higher than
the discount rate in the respective
reserve districts. They struck out
the house provision restricting such
advances when the banks had not
exhausted their resources in loans
on commercial paper.
In the case of direct loans in ex-
ceptional cases by the corporation
to war industries, including rail
roads and public utilities, the con
fcrees retained the senate provision
for "adequate' security, and instead
OF requiring 1873 per cent security
as the house bill provided, the con
fcrees fixed the security basis as II;
per cent, and provided that the loan,
shall be made on the basis OF the
value of assets OF the borrower.
Another provision adopted by the
conferees would prohibit the corpo
ration from loaning more than II
per cent of its capital stock to any
person or company, except to rail
roads Tor additions, betterment!
and road extension. Indirect loan.
through the federal reserve to any
one person or corporation shall no
exceed II IL per cent of the tota
capital stock and authorized bonds
As the bill now stands, ii is radi
cally modified from the origina
measure presented, which propo,eC

tary OF the treasury.

Bodies OF both friends and
enemies are stripped as soon as
possible by the Germans and

thus obtained is collected and

toned, do not conceal their
amazement at the very small

the Germans in the battle in
Picardy, an official dispatch
from France today said:
Although as yet our infor-
nation is incomplete, it is GER
tain that the German losses in
the battle of the Somme have
been enormous. Prisoners who
were questioned on the 25th of
March reported that the S8th
division of infantry was almost
completely annihilated, and
that the 206th division suffered
heavily.
The losses are chiefly due to
the machine guns which install
