URGES EXTENSION OF
CREDIT ABROAD.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The ex-
tension of credits to foreign govern
ments to enable them to pay for
American farm products was advo-
Gated todav by James H. Howard,
president of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, at joint meeting of
the senate agriculture and banking
committees. He suggested that the
War Finance Corporation be made
an agency for the extension of such
credits, and mentioned Germany and
Russia as particular countries desir-
ing to buy American products.
Some method for permanent plan
Of marketing, Howard said, is needed
to relieve the farmers. In this con-
nection, he said, the plea of Senator
Hitchcock to make the nrofits of the
| federal farm loan banks available
for loans on farm products and live
stock would afford solAe temporary
relief.
| Chairman Mclean, of the banking
committee, remarked at the conclus-
ion of Howard's plea that he had re-
ceived a communication from the
Federal Reserve board pressing its
opposition to the Hitchcock
proposal.

Two days later, he said, ten SOL

other battle took place, with many
shots fired, and with officers from

of what had occurred and warned
him to keep the men away. He said
he had wounded some the men. 1t

board of county commissioners of
Sumter county and one of the best
known citizens of the county, was
found dead in his room at his home

temple and pistol was lying on the
floor beside him. His body, full
dressed, was lying in front of the

and worry, which had depressed his

ascribed by members of his family

did not appear it was supposed he
was in the barnyard. He was called
but did not answer and the family
sat down expecting him to come in

fathers room and found him dead
from the newly self-inflicted wound.

was called and an inquest was held
at about 9 o'clock. A verdict of sui
eide was returned after a brief hear
ing.
Although generally of a very
cheerful and optimistic disposition
Mr.. Wilson was said by his family
to nave been unusually depressed re
Gently. Yesterday, however, he was il
Aemricus and talked with numerou,

Joy of making a good tennis stroke,
the delight that woodsman gets in
