NOTABLES TO DEBATE
AS CRANK IS TURNED
(By Herald Leased wire.)

New York, Feb. 24.-Political
campaign methods may be revolu-
tionized by an experiment the Cen
tral Republican Club of the Nine
.teenth Assembly district has sched-
uled for tomorrow night in its club
rooms. The organization has ar
ranged a debate on the league OF
nations; the high cost Of living and
other pressing national issues and
has announced the following star
participants:
United States Senators Lodges and
Harding. Republicans: William @.
McAdoo and Attorney General
Palmer, Democrats. The debaters.
however, will not appear in the
flesh. Their voices only will be
present, Photographic records being
the medium by which their words
will be reeled off.
Some see in the innovation the
beginning Of the end Of the SPELL
binder. 1t is much simpler, trey
point out, for John Voter to sit at
home and put William Jennings
Bryan or q Charles Evans Hughes
disc on the old phonograph than to
sally forth to Madison Square Gar
den to hear them in person.
And then. one can always shut 1t
of and put on Bert Williams, or
somebody.

this morning.
- Before taking the final vote II
Is likely the committee will agree

Lclined to agree to a deferment of

that IL will be considered as q sep
arate proposition later.
The House leaders, including the
Steering Committee and Speaker
Gillett. have assured Chairman
Kahn that IL the committee. after
thorough investigation Of all the
various phases OF the training ques-
tion, shall later report out a sep
arate measure, a special rule for
its consideration will be granted.
The committee. under this agree
ment. must 60 carefully into all
data as to the cost Of military train
ing. the number OF youths eligible
for trainig each year and the effect
on economic conditions.
The reason the Republican leaders
are so insistent that nol action on the

time is that the National Convention
should be given an opportunity to
pass on IL and include II In the plat
form IL it so decides.

NO ACTION YET
ON BASE BALL CLUB

The base ball meeting called for
Wednesday evening was not very en-
Enthusiastically attended. In fact some
of our fans will loose the right to
further use of that title if their Ie-
sponae to the call be weighed in tie
balance. Such little interest was
shown that no action was taken.
Whether Chesterfield shall have a
ball club this year is problematical.
1t is time now to engage players and
prepare the grounds, grand stand,
etc. If these things are not speedily
attended to it will be too late. 1t is
not likely that Chesterfield will have
a club if she doesn't want it.

FARM LOANS DELAYED
BY HEARING OF SUIT

Farm Loan Bank officials met in
Washington last Saturday for con-
ference in regard to the conditions
confronting banks and loan associa-
tions as result of the suit brought
to test the constitution of the act
under which the farm loan banks
operate. Until this suit is tried the
banks are forced to suspend all loans.
This is working many hardships on
the farmers, many of whom were de-
pending on initial or secondary loans
loans to complete improvements al
ready commenced.
In some cases the Spring plant
ing of crops has been seriously in
terferred with where farmers were
depending upon the loan banks for
aid in financing the years crops.
Plans of thousands of farmers for ex-
tention and expansion will have to
remain in allegiance until the re-hear-
ing Of the case, which may not occur
until Fall or even later.

Two Americans Ebcn Francis

been murdered in Mexico. The Ameri.

manjcd that the Mexican govern
ment arrest and punish the murder
crs. The murders took place only 125
miles from McXico City i'm a part of
thc country where there are no rcvo-
lutlonists, so that the deed cannot,
as is customary with the Carranza ad-
ministration, be blamed on Villa.
The United States is sending a feet
of warShip& to Mexican waters for the
purpose of taking ON board Amcri-
cans who may be in danger either
from the rcvolutionistS or fcderalists.
The rcvolutionists appear to have
gained in strength lately. The city Of

said to mean that the entire state of
Chihauhau will be under their con-
troll.

AN INDICATION OF PROGRESS

The farmers and merchants of
chesterfield County are rapidly
!earning the advantages of modern
methods of transportation The day
If the "hay burner" for hauling farm
produce and supplies, lumber and
merchandise is fast passing and the
motor truck, which not only does
many times the work, but "eats only
when working" is taking the place
of the horse and mule on our roads.
In proof of this statement stands
The fact that the Lucas Auto Com
pany has sold in Chesterfield County
eight Traffic Trucks since Christmas
and has in prospect buyers for more
ihana dozen during the summer.
Mr.. p. c. McLaren, of Cheraw, is
the first man, so far to by two of
these trucks. Mr.. McLaren, who dis
tributes gasoline over this end of the
county, bought his first Traffic the
irst Of the year. Last week he bought
The second one.
Mr.. w. X. Sellers has just had a
demonstration of what the Traffic
VIII do in the woods. He has been
convinced that one truck will take the
place Of eight mules in getting logs
to the mill and will afterward do the
work of railway train in delivering
lumber. Mr.. Sellers expects in the
near future to add Traffic to his
saw mill equipment.
