To the Editor Caledonian-Record:
Dear Sir;
In your issue of August 9th under
large head lines, you spoke of Lyn-
donville man, meaning me, as having
had a third auto accident. In justice
to myself permit me to say that |
have not been in three accidents.
have, however, been in two neither
of which was due in any way and
fault on my part. The accident at
the corner of Central and Summer
streets on July 28th was wholly due
to the tarelessness of States Attor
ney. James B. Campbell, who drove
in front of my car when under the
law | had the right of way.
In the same issue your paper states
that on the Morrill, Flat on Angus.
4th, in the evening, drove by a car
and ran into another This state
ment is not according to the fact. I
was driving on my side of the road,
and car went by me and the lights
of that car evidently confused young
Cleary for he came on 10 my side of
the road and ran into my car.
certainly hope you will publish
this letter of explanation as | feel
sure you do not wish to publish any
thing but facts in you paper.
Very truly your.

APPEAL TO CONGRESS

The South Dakota Joint Farmers
Grain Marketing committee which met
n the Office of the State Farm Bureau
Federation at Huron last week passed
resolutions asking congress to correct
the credit stringency which threatens
to bankrupt the farmers of the state.
1t was also voted to ask the United
States government to place an en-
barge Immediately upon the importa-
ton of such agricultural products from
other countries Of which we already
have a surplus and which are being
dumped into the markets of the cOun-
Try absorbing our money and credit
and requiring American farmers to
finance the grain and livestock produc-
ton of other countries.
The committee urged the American
Farm Bureau Federation to present
these matters before congress through
a committee representing all farmers
organizations.

CONGRESS Will
ASSIST FARMER
COMMITTEES OF SENATE AND
HOUSE MEET TODAY TO
CONSIDER PLANS
WILL GREATLY IMPROVE SITUATION
To Amend the Federal Reserve Act
Or Revive War Finance
Corporation.

Committees of congress are bending
every effort toward %remedying the sit
uation caused by the falling prices
OF farm products and it is believed
that it will result in a rapidly sta
bilized business condition. A Joint
meeting of the senate and house agr!-
cultural committees will be held today
to consider remedial legislation for the
relief of the farmer. Two main pro-
pOsals are under consideration to
bring about immediate relief, the re-
vival of the war finance corporation
and the adoption of a new policy by
the federal reserve board. Farmers.
business men and bankers in the agri-
cultural communities of the country
are said to be practically unanimous
in favor Of some form of relief either
through the federal reserve board or
the war finance corporation. The lat.
ter organization was very valuable
during the war in furnishing credit to
enterprises that were manufacturing
wal materials. In the present case
it would furnish credit to the farmers
in the production of food stuffs. Con
gress generally recognizes the neces-
sity for immediate action and the stu.
alton will no doubt receive first con-
sideratiOn.
