Washington, Dec. 2O.-One meas
ure, which is considered to he inn
portant, the republican appointment
Of a comr'ission to study plan for
the realignment of government de-
partments in the interests of eifici-
ency and economy, has been acted
upon by the sixty-sixth congress.
Meanwhile, the decision of the
leaders who are planning that the
attention to appropriation bills be
among the chief business to be hand
led by this congress, seems likely
to be overturned by the determine
tion of representatives of western
and southern states to do something
for the farmers who are hard hit by
the falling prices of their products
One measure, in the interests of
the farmer, has been passed by both
houses in different forms. This meas
ure is a resolution to revive the
war finance corporation for the pur-
pose of supplying credit for foreign
markets interested in the purchase
of American farm products.

power to prevent importations from
foreign markets as demanded by
farmers, who are hit hard by the
tumbling prices.

deal with the centralized buying
agencies which are now maintained
in the United States by foreign gov

farmer against possible price mani
pulation by these agencies.

BUSHERS HOLDOUT, TOO,
Players Don't Wait Until They
Make Good in Majors Before
Demanding Big Money.

Bah players do not wait until they
reach the major leagues to become hold
cuts any more. They start just as soon
as major league club buys them. Last
year, when the Giants bought Earl
Smith. the catcher. from Rochester theK
first thing that Smith did was 10 turn
down the contract they offered him aud
demand more money That was before
lie started at all and before the Chants
knew what he could do
Bob Meusel. who is hailed on the Pa
ci1c coast as wonder. has turned
down the contract the Yankees offerCd
him and demands more money SO does
Bill Percy. who used to try to pitch
for the Yan<s a few seakons ago
i'iercy and Meusel told Manager urg-
gins how much they wanted when th-
recently. Huggins didn't promise to-
meet their demands but hurried right
back to New York to see il there was
enough money in Wall street TO satisfy
he two players.
Pete Schneider of the Yanks is 20

Pacific coast. The Yanks do not want
Linn back. although they will be able to.
recall him if necessary. In the deal
by which Meusel is to come to the
Yankees, the Vernon club is to get two.
more players besides Schneider one OF

Georges Can Go Long Aoute.
And Carpenter has shown very
often that he can 60 a great distance

his record is studded with long-dfs-

Another thing may favor Car
pentier should he ever meet Dempsey.
and that is the attitude with which
each is taking the fight game at pres
ent. Dempsey has done practically no
training at all since he won the cham
pionship. and is at present making
himself and the other members of the
mitt fraternity look silly by going
the rounds of the beauty shops in Los
Angeles before taking part in some
work before the camera. Carpenter,
however. is not leNing anything get
by. %He fought more than four years
in the various branches of the French

that.
