FARNUM TO BE SEEN
AS JEAN VALJEAN

The admirers of William Farnum
and that includes everyone who has
ever seen his superb acting-will
have another opportunity to see him
here-and in role that throws his
genius into strong relief-at the
Grand Theatre Thursday, where
William Fox is to present Victor
Hugo3,s immortal story Les Miser-
ables".
The story of this remarkable book
is sufficiently strong and colorful to
draw fully upon Farnum's versatility
as an actor. In the role of Jean Val<
jean he portrays the long and varied
career Of son of toll, driven b..
poverty to theft, and imprisoned for
many years in atonement Upon
leaving his dungeon he is forced to
cope with world he has learned to
hate. But fortune plays him many
pranks. Above all, it brings back
the milk of human kindness to his
nature, and brings love into his life
in the form of Cosette, to. whose hap
piness he dedicates his life. How
ever, the shadow of his old life is
ever behind him, as persistent as fate.
William Farnum is said to have
surpassed all his previous triumphs
in Les Miserables"

MAD BULL WRECKS STORE:
SAW RED APPLE BARREL

ATLANTA, August "A mad bull
barricaded himself in a produce store
on Flat Shoals avenue, and after
smashing everything in the shop to
bits, including the cash register, de-
fed anybody or anything to drive
him out.
The bull was first angered by the
sight of very red barrel of apples
in front of the store, and after de-
molishing the barrel, scattering ap.
pies in every direction, he went into
the store to complete the devasta-
ton. The clerks jumped through the
windows and the proprietor ran up
stairs.
A half hour later, just as it had been
decided to send for rifle and shoot
the bull, the animal decided of itself
to walk out of the store, and calmly
proceeded on the road to the slaugh.
ter house.

Coal Association. In many Of the soft

Greatly advanced output Of soft

BOARD MAY RELENT AS
TO FARMERS CREDITS

Indications are the Federal Re-
serve Board will be induced to
change its attitude with respect to
the granting OF credits by the banks
to farmers.
Members OF the Senate and House
from the South. whose constituents
are interested in growing cotton and
tobacco. are complaining to the
board as vigorously as are Western
members whose constituents are in
terested in livestock. grain and gem
eral agricultural pursuits. Officials
OF farmers organizations also are
complaining.
The board. including Secretary
Houston. has been apprised that its
policy will be ruinous to the South
ern and Western farmers. and will
hurt the whole country by crippling
next years production.
Senator Kenyon. who Is membe r
Of the Senate Reconstruction Com
mittce, which has Investigated not
only housing but agricultural condi-
lions in the West. declared that while
the farmers heretofore had not been
disposed to 60 on a strike or to cur
tail production, they were reaching
a point where they were beginning to
talk OF cutting down production and
asking themselves what was the use
Of farming so many acres and pro-
ducing such large crops IL there was
no profit in IL.
Unless the situation is remedied, IL
will be threshed over fully at 1the
nation wide conference on farm prob
lens which Senator Kenyon will call
here early In December. At this con-
ference members OF Congress- from
agricultural States. officials OF farm
ers' organizations and others will
be present.

Selling u. S. "Short"
Sure Loss, Says Sabir1

"Any man who sells the United
States OF America short Is In the
long run certain to lose" said Charles
n. Sabin. president OF the Guaranty
Trust Company OF New York, and a
leading banker OF tho country. "es-
terday. in commenting on existing
financial and economic conditions.
In his statement. which Mr.. Sabir
has prepared for the Guaranty News.
he pointed out the great harm done In
a period OF dehation by false reports.
stating ANY man who seeks to profit
by the misforunes Of others In tn"
circulation of misstaeements or false
rumors, hoping to precipitate furthe:
reactions, should be branded as 4
public enemy"
This Is a time for clear thinking
and courageous acting. he emphasized.
The one important step. however. that
will hasten the general business re-
covery, he said, IL for retail mer-
chants to realize that they must ad-
Just their prices to meet the new con-
ditions.
There is nothing mysterious or I'M
expected about the present condition
In either the commodity or security
markets, Mr.. Sabin pointed out. For
Il
must be a liquidation OF commodities.
securities and labor before the coun-
try can recover from the effects Of
OF the war and be restored to any
thing like a normal business basis.
One regretable feature OF the liq-
uidation, however is that as con-
modify and security prices reached
points far above their real value in
the boom period, Mr.. Sabin says. so
they are today falling to points far
below their real value"
On the whole, necessary liquidation
is proceeding after the manner an
ticipated, but there are yet several
steps to be taken.
In discussing the necessity for re-
tailers to adjust their present prices.
Mr.. Sabin emphasized the fact that
the longer they hold out the bigger
their ultimate loss will be. He said:
IT am firmly convinced that the
sooner a policy Of deflation lis pur-
sued the less costly and painful II
will be to all concerned. The process
of deflation must include all the ele-
ments Of the body economic sooner
or later, and there can be no escape
from the memorable law which d.
reefs II. Dodging the facts or at
tempting to postpone the inevitabie
will not bring immunity to anyone.
One unfortunate effect of a period
of deflation. he states. Is that many
innocent parties are made to surfer
through ignorance and misunder-
standing as well as through the
spread of false and malicious rumors
which such conditions always IN
spire. with a resulting loss OF con-
f;ao,cc and manic sales.
There are many features OF the
nresent outlook that inspire CONT
depce. among which Mr.. Sabin cited:

DECLINE IN EXPORTS.
Decline in exports was noted by
the bankers as perhaps one OF the
most potent factors disturbing the
process OF commercial and Industrial
readtustment. This has thrown upon
the domestic market enormous stocks
manufactured for expert originally.
and II has influenced the price to
some degree.
Comments on conditions in tho
steel trade, considered business
barometer, were most significant. In
steel, it was said. despite decline In
untitled orders. Industrial leaders
look forward to prosperous conditions
and are predict Wholesome and rea-
sonable REIMBURSEMENT" In other
fields. the note OF optimism liz less
pronounced, 1t was said, but serious
handicaps to business are not anti
cipated. While uncertainty is found
to exist in the textile industry and
the agricultural. and other lines. all
signs, the bankers state, point
tween production and consumption

modities OF all classes.
NO CHANGE OF POLICY.
With bankers, able to guage the
business pulse, thus taking a firmer
view of business for the future. the

consider any changes of Importance

BIG BANKERS WOULD
LEND FUND TO CHINA

NEW YORK. Nov. l7.-Concrets
proposals embodying q comprehensive
constructive program for China have
been prepared by the international
banking consortium for extending
financial assistance to China and
have been forwarded to the Pekhg
government for its consideration. 1t
was learned yesterday at the offices
Of J. p. Morgan 4 Co.
The outline as submitted to the
Chinese Premier and Minister OF
Finance on behalf of tho inter.
national bankers, represents the re-
suit of discussions which took place
in New York a few weeks ago when
delegates Of banking interests Of the
four great powers. Great Britain,
France, Japan and the United States.
gathered around the conference table
and signed the agreement which
brought the new consortium into be-
ing.
In addition to setting forth the
ideas Of the bankers Of these coun-
r,es with regard to China's needs in
the way Of railroad construction. cur
rency reform and financial rehabilita-
ton in general. the financial repre-
sentatives of the consoftium have
suggested to the Peking government
conditions under which advances of
FUNDS might be made for speciic pro-
jects.
The program set forth by the con-
sortium bankers for the consideration
of the Chinese government does not
take I'D the matter of making q loan,
it was stated yesterday. although ap-
prevail of the proposals Of the inter
national group by China would likely
pave the way to loan negotiations at
a later date.
