tensions of credit to Germany and
| Russia for the purchase OF American
agricultural products.
Eugene Meyer Jr.. who was the
head of the war finance corporation,
conferred with Senators Kellogg and
oapper and agreed to appear at the
{Joint meet. He favors the revival ot
lthe corporation for the restricted pur-
pose OF aiding in financing the mark =
ieting Of American products abroad.
| Senators Borah and Reed will urge
the immediate recognition of the
tsoViet government OF Russia and the
resumption of full trade relations as
| well as the extension of u large credi t
! to Germany with the 100000
German property still in the hands OF
the government as security.
In opinion OF many leSislators>t the
experience OF the farmers with ali-
ing prices will react in the direction
or a lessened volume of food produc-
ton next year, to the detriment OF
the whole country. Senator Capper,
republican, who says the approachinS
iepublican administration will be re
pudiated four years hence if it fails to
make good in the solution OF econom-
IL problems, outlines the following de-
mands of the farmers IA addition to
the establishment OF the war fin
ance corporation and the extension of
credits to Europe:
Adequate credit for farmers thru
short time and long time loans adapt
Cd fairly and practically to the pc
culiar condition of the farming busl-
ness.
Afford farmers the same credit ac-
commodations now afforded other
lines of business that they may not
be compelled to dump their prod
I Iucts on a glutted or demoralized
market
Abolish gambling in wheat, cotton,
corn, and all farm products: gam
aiers and big spectators wreck our
markets and are taking advantage OF
their present demoralized condition
to hammer prices below cost of pro-
duction-
Fair and open markets for all
| farm products. free from manipula- :
tion and hOldups by spectators and
middlemen
Full legal authority for nation
vide, cooperative marketing by
farmers thru the Capper-Hersman
bill.
Regulation of the packers.
"A national marketing board, in
which the producer will be represent
ed, with power to the board to regu-
late the rate of marketing and to ad-
wise and assist in stahlizing prices
thaS injury to producer or to con-
sumner thru ruinous practices or con-
ditions may be avoided
Broaden and atrensthen the fed-
eral farm loan system.
Tariff revision to protect Ameri-
can agriculture.
Protection for wool growers and
the public from the unfair competi-
ton of shoddy goods thru the Cap.
per- French trath-i in fabrics bill"
In Senator Cunmins' opinion the
problem 1g one that must be met by
the creation of such sound and ef-
saetfye systems Of credit and Of
marketing that the farmer can be
placed upon a, footing of equality
with other producers and business
men.
Senator Cummins has no faith in
the ability of the farmers to form
combination for their owni protec-
ton, such as has been attempted by
some of their organizations, even If
they were relieved of all the restric-
tions Of the antitrust laws. Nor does
he believe that conditions can be i'm
proved by any such course.

Ardmore, Okla, Dec. 2.-with publ
cation of sworn statement by E..
w. Sails, taxicab driver of Dallas,
Tex, giving details of a drive on a
lonely road between Dallas and Cisco
With young lady who told him
she had shot a wealthy man at Ard
more Sunday night, Nov. 21, many
influential persons here began to
discount today the story of the al
legged accidental shooting" of Jake
l.. Hamon, republican national COM
mitteeman, which resulted in his
death Nov. 26.
Thruout Frank L. Ketch, Hamon's S
business manager. has said the
wounding of Mr.. Hamon was the re-
suit of the accidental discharge" Of
a pistol which he was cleaning.
The Sails statement made public
by Russell R. Brown, county attorney,
was witnessed by two members of
the Dallas police department. The
driver declared in the statement that
his woman passenger, who had en-
gagged the car at Dallas for trip of
four or five days." did not tell him
her name, declaring he would find
out in the next thirty six hours"
Clara Smith, of Ringing, Okla, is
charged with assault with intent to
kill in connection with the shooting
of Mr.. Hamon. While the mysterious
| woman passenger in the Dallas taxi
cab is unknown, according to the
drivers statement, it is known that
! the Smith woman went south after
leaving Ardmore. The county
attorney announced yesterday that he
had traced her itinerary thru num-
| Der of northern Texas towns and
| thence to Dallas and Cisco. The an
nouncement of Mr.. Brown that the
Smith woman purchased a ticket for
| Ell Paso at Cisco comedies, 1t is
pointed out here, with the assertion
| of Sails in his sworn statement that
| his unknown passenger asked him
at Cisco to purchase a ticket to Ell
Paso for her.
| 1t was on the face of these details
contained in the Sails statement, ap-
parently coinciding with announce
ments by the county attorney, that
many persons here began to place

| the shooting Of Mr.. Hamon might be
| other than "accidental.'

warrant for the arrest Of the Smith

RECORDS PROMISED IN 1920
Millions to Be Spent in improving
Public Highways and Transporta-
ton Facilities.

The year 1920 promises to develop
revolution in Americas two great
problems-highways and transporta-
ton.
All over the country great interest
is being manifested in better roads
and improved transportation faclli-
ties.
The coming Of the pneumatic-tired
motortruck has given an impetus to
the movement for a national highway
system that is sweeping everything
before it.
State after state has passed, with
out noticeable opposition, appropria.
lions for millions of dollars to build
and improve main market and inter-
county highways.
What these activities portend can be
viSualiZed in some measure when it is
said that of the 100000 miles of
roads in this country only 100000 miles
are improved.
Motor transports work at highest eff
ficiency on good roads, although the
pneumatic truck tire is rendering con-
SpicuouS service in transporting
heavy loads over swamp ground and
the sandy soil of fruit groves.

Good news for millions of sufferers.
Chemists have found sure remedy-one
that takes the acid up and carries it out

removed, the sufferer gets well.
Bloating, indigestion, sour, acid, gassy
