FARM LOAN BANK

SPEAKER AT AMERICAN BANK.

CIALISM GAINING FAST.

ST. LOUIS, Mo.ACharacterizing
Secretary of Labor Wilson as in a
class with the socialists Ralph In
gals, of New York, director of re-
search of the Bankers Statistics Cor
poration, declared in an address be-
fore a preliminary meeting of the
American Bankers Association that

Ingalls, attacked the Mondell SOL
diers' land settling bill as socialistie,
He also said that governmental tax
ing powers were being utilized to
give special favors to sections, local
tiles and classes.
The socialistic tendency, he as
serted, is discerned in the United
States Housing Corporation, the fed
eral farm loan system and the Unit
ed States reclamation service.
In an attack on the United States
Housing Corporation he declared that
the corporation was chartered only
three and a half months before the
armistice was signed and could have
stopped expenditures for houses for
government war employees then, at
$40, 900 900, but instead the corpora
ton had spent or allocated all OF
$4,000, 900 which congress appro'
priated for it.

CONFEREES AGREE
ON PROHI MEASURE
MANY LIBERALIZING AMEND
MENTS RETAINED IN THE DRY
ENFORCEMENT BILL.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Breaking
a three weeks deadlock, senate and
house conferees reached an agree
ment today on the prohibition en-
forcement bill. Quick approval of
the conferees' report is expected by
leaders and the measure may go to
the president early next week.
The bill, which establishes one
half of one per cent as the maximum
alcoholic content Of beverages, was
passed by the house July p and by
the senate September 5. The con-
ference report will be acted upon
first by the senate and then sent to
the house.
Senate Amendments Accepted.
The senate conferees, however,
succeeded in retaining virtually every
one of the 285 hberalizing provisions
adopted by the upper house, which
comprise mostly administrative feat
ures. The principal liberal amend
ment of the senate permitting home
manufacture and consumption of CT
der and light wines was approved as
well as another senate amendment
extending application of the constltu-
tional amendment to the Panama
canal zone. :.
In the principal conference dis"
pute over imposition of the burden
of proof" in prosecutions, the SEN
ate managers were successful, for the
bill as agreed upon provides that the
government must bear the burden
of proof" and prove its case IN
prosecuting those selling beverages,
by showing that the beverages con-
cerned contained more than the al
coholic limit of one-half of one per
cent. Manufacturers, however, as
provided both by the house and SEN
ate bills, must bear the burden OF
proof that their products contained
alcohol only within the amount pre-
scribed.
Liquor for the Home.

PRESIDENT in FOR
PROLONGED ILLNESS
NATIONS EXECUTIVE SICK MAN,
AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
ASSUME DUTIES SOON.

Under a Washington date line Da-
vid Lawrence, the well-knGwn news
paper writer who accompanied the
president on his western trip, and
has been his steadfast friend, writes
as follows concerning the illness of
Mr.. Wilson:
president Wilson is not imprcv-
ling in health and while there is moth
ing to be Immediately alarmed about,
the country ought to know that the
chief executive is in for a prolonged
illness and that public business must
inevitably be transacted without him.
Ever since mis- breakdown on the
train he has been practically detach-
ed from the government
Gwen the most pressing matters
are not brought to the presidents
attention. He is not seeing cables
from overseas and he is not receiving
any of the senators who are con-
Quoting the fight in the senate on
behalf of the league of nations and
peace treaty. Nobody but DIR. Gray
son and Mrs. Wilson have been adj
mitted to the presidents room. DIR.
Grayson has been called frequently
during the night and has been in such
constant attendance upon the presi-
dent that he has had to summon as
sistance. Also he has wished to make
sure that his own diagnosis was cor
rect. He has called four specialists, a
general diagnostician, a nerve spe-
cialist, an expert on eye troubles, and
a specialist on digestive troubles. The
fact of the matter is the president is
a sick man and he has been taken in
hand none too soon.
"He doesn't want to leave Washing
ton, and feels better himself and
therefore wants to get at public bust
ness. But it will be a long time be-
fore he will be permitted to do so.
And while nobody would like to see
the president confined to his quarters
for a long time, nevertheless the wor-
ried look on the faces of those who
are in a position to know the truth
about his health cannot be dismissed.
To anyone who has analysed the bull
letins that have been, issued and taken
into consideration that the president
has had several days IL which to rest
the fact that he has not yet shown
definite improvement is disquieting.

HOKE SMITH OFFERS
SEVEN RESERVATIONS
RGIA SENATOR THINKS
THERE SHOULD BE CHANGES
IN THE TREATY OF PEACE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
Hoke Smith presented in the senate
this afternoon seven reservations to
the peace pact.
Senator Smith said he was oppos-
ed to changes in the actual treaty
with Germany which would require
its resubmission, but believed there
should be notifications of the league
covenant, which would not have to
go back to Germany because that ma
ton is not a party to it.
Compromise Necessary.
The Georgia senator also express
ed the belief which is growing here
and which was forecast recently that
the league covenant cannot be adopt
ed without change, and it is ques-
ton as to whether democrats or re-
publicans virtually take charge of
the situation in the senate.

THESE COWS LIKE
SWEET STRAINS OF MUSIC
Bovines Gives More Milk When
Classical Tunes Are Played.


NEW YORK, N. Y.-Here's one
for scoffers at well-known adage.
Music may not have so much infiu-
ence on the savage soul, but recent
test has proven that it soothes milk
from COW.
The test in point was made at the
Electrical Exposition on thorough
bred mixers by H. M. Harvey yes
terday. 1t showed that the bovine
fancy inclines to the classical, Mozart
and Beethoven being the best produc-
ers.
The cows were all MIXED by cleo
tricity. After the first milking, sans
music, graphophone was turned on
and they gave from 10 to II per cent
more. One of the cows, kept con,
stantly in hearing of the strains OF
Mozart, gave forty-fve quarts in
twenty-four hours. She was MIXED
at intervals of six hours.

SUFFERED SOME BAD CUTS

Eugene Lindblom, thirteen year old

head and arms Sunday afternoon in
an accidental fall from the bicycle he
was riding on Mound avenue, near

striking heavily on his side and face.
The accident was observed by peo.

boys assistance. He was unconsci-

the house, but soon revived, and was
given first aid services by the lady
OF the house. He had been wearing
glasses and when he fell the glass in
one of the rims broke, and gouged
the flesh upward from one of his eyes

HUNTING DOWN sLACKERs
Minnesota Telephone Companies Fail
ina to Report Will Be Penalized.

ina to Report Will BE Penalized.
Expert accountants have been sent
out over the state by the Minnesota
to prepare annual reports for such
telephone companies as have failed to
comply with that provision of the
telephone code requiring them to file
annual reports of their business with
the commission. The entire expense
xamining the books such de. -eetao
of examining the books OF such de-
linquent companies, including the
roalroad fare of the examiner and the
expense for board and room at the
town in which the office of the COM
pany is located, will be charged to
the offender. In the event the bill
is not paid the commission is author
lied to institute legal proceedings to
collect the same.
Several telephone companies persis-
tently have refused or failed to make
any report to the commission in COM
pliance with the telephone act of 1915,
although repeatedly urged to do SO by
the commission. This neglect has pre-
vented the commission from obtain
ing complete data regarding telephone
utilities, and naturally has worked to
the disadvantage Of the companies
who lived up to the law. The COM
mission was in somewhat of a dilemma
in this matter. inasmuch as the act
made no provision for it's enforcement,
but the legislature of 1919 came to the
relief Of the commission by enacting
a law authorizing the commission to
cause the desired reports to be pre-
pared at the expense Of the delin-
quent companies. and also provided
means for collecting the bills therefor.
