lected from members of the Athen-
aeum and Delphi literary societies of
the high school. The production was
in every way a success and was pro-
claimed by critics to be the best ever
produced in the high school.
The cast was splendidly selected.
No better person could have been
chosen for the part of the happy.go-
lucky Jones than Cloyce Christopher.
He managed this part SO skillfully
that many wondered that an amateur
could do SO. The role of Ebenezer
Goodly was well portrayed by Cedric
Smith, while Mary Dowds, as Mrs.
Goodly, and Ruth Lamson, as Mrs.
Goodly's sister, Alvina Starlight,
were well selected All the other

Would Alter Banking
Plan To Aid Farmer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-Two sep
arate proposals looking toward alter
ations in the federal reserve system
in the interests of farmers were pre-
sented yesterday in the senate.
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Me-
braska, presented bill to amend the
federal reserve act SO as to permit
the secretary of the treasury to place
the profits resulting from operations
Of the federal reserve system as spe-
cial deposits in such reserve banks as
he might select. These deposits would
remain in the bank not to exceed one
year and would be used to discount
paper of member banks loaned on
agricultural products or livestock.
The second proposal, an amend.
ment to the federal reserve act Of
fered by Senator Smith, Democrat,
Georgia, would make cotton factory
paper eligible for discount at federal
reserve banks.

AVIATION NEEDS

The National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics has presented its
: sixth annual report 1t makes sever
al recommendation which are OF in
terest to constituents as well as to
congresgmen.
In the first place II approves the
Idea of q bureau and commissioner
of air navigation. 1t believes that
federal regulation Of commercial avi.
alton is necessary and that the II.
censing OF pilots, aircraft, landing
fields, etc, can be better carried on
by such government department
than by the scattered methods now
. In force.
The committee seeks also to have
congress authorize an American com
petition to stimulate private enter.
prise In improving arplane designs
and manufacture.
1t urges the further development OF
the postotiice departments air ser.
vice, which has been forging ahead
unobtrusively ever since the armi'
stice. 1t would have more extensive
research in aeronautics and also
more adequate appropriations for mil
itary and naval air services.
All of these things are probably
needed and will come eventually
even II great expenditures are not
possible Immediately. Aircraft of all
sorts have been proved impracticable
for so many and such varied uses
that most persons feel that the pos
sibilities are almost unlimited. Nc
