cr that he has practically fixed

ed that this was in direct violation,
OF the food bill which he said makes
no provisions for price fixing. He
charged that Hoover ha advocated
the passage of the bill because il
contained no price fixing provisions.
Hoover declared he believed the
food bin in all of its phases had
been carried out. sen. Reed dealt
with the wheat price
Il do not believe it is fair 20 go

Hoover had fixed prices despite the
fact that the food bill gives no such
power.
Isn't that an usurpation and
q .use OF power asked sen. Reed
"It has been done with the pres
icents approval" answered Hoover.
Chairman Reed spent much time
in drawing Hoover's attention TO
discrepancies in his testimony with
that given by Claus A. Spreckels.
Hoover modified and explained Ger
tain parts of his testimony. Sen.

It is believed that the negotiations

which has been gaining ground for
some time that it is the kaiser's
wish 10 make "a -protectorate'' OF
Poland Couriand and Livonia- This

URGED To BUY
FARM LOAN BONDS.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Con
gress today was strongly urged TO
authorize the secretary of the treas
ury TO purchase farm loan bonds TO
the extent of S1OO.0OO,OOO during
the coming year as a means of pro-
viding capital necessary to increase
food production during the war.
The recommendation was MADE in
the annual report Of the federal
farm loan board.
The report points out that these
bonds could be resold to investors
as the demand for them develops.
and that such procedure would de-
lieve purchasers of the fear that the
bonds may be pushed for sale at un-
propitious times.
Other Recommendations.
Other recommendation We're:
CD That the Cooperative Farm
Loan association be given another
year of trial before any move rt.

more direct.
(2) That the maximum loan limit
10 an individual borrower be in

CD That borrower be allowed to
pay all or any part of his indebted
ness on any interest paving date.
(4) That joint stock land banks
be permitted 10 operate in more
than two states and that their limit
of bond issues be increased 10 20
times their capital stock. instead OF
Is, and that the authorized rate OF
interest be raised from ; II percent
10 percent.
The report further points out that
the withdrawal of foreign capital
from the farm loan fieIdHas a result
Of more attractive rates OF interest
offered elsewhere. has brought
american agriculture face TO face
with a serious situation The belief
is expressed that the adoption or
these recommendation will bring
about a marked improvement in

Music

AS Mr.. Rachmaninoff is now among
us 1t IS the fashion to place at least
one of his works on every programme.
and so Maurice Dambois began his
cello recital at Aeolian Hal, last even
ing with the composers sonata. Oh. 10.
Inc piece, sprinkled with suave and
meiodlous themes, displays the instru-
ment for which it was written to excel
lent advantage.
Mr.. Dambois's strong points are a
nne tone and a flaming temperament.
The same volcanic quality that distin-
gulshed him as a pianist and when he
played with Mr.. Ysaye is apparent in
his performance as a 'cellist. Still.
ne is not prone to the exclusive use
OF fiXed and vivid color. His feeling
for delicate nuances was evident in
Salnt-Saens's concerto in A minor and
IN shorter pieces by Rameau, HAYDN
and others which followed.
Perhaps MIR. Dambois's gift of varied
tonal expression was responsible for
the lack of monotony experienced at
his recital. Too often after 'celIist
has played few sentimental melodies
and showed his agility in a page or
two of bravura his resources are at
an end. Listening to Mr.. Dambois.
however, the temptation last evening
was not to leave early, but to remain
until the end.
