Washington, Dec. 2.-The plight of
farmers due to falling prices was
taken today to congress.
Agricultural committees of the
senate and house in joint session be-
gan hearings on conditions brought
about by falling prices preliminary
to devising relief measures. They
decided to ask Secretary Houston
and Governor Harding of the federal
reserve board to come before them
tomorrow after Eugene Meyer, Jr.,
former head of the war finance cor
poration, had declared tina: rehabili-
tation of that body would 60 long
step toward furnishing the desired
relief by financing exports of sur

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
told the conference he planned to in
troduce measures, making available
the profits of the federal reserve
banks, amounting to about $60,0O0,-
900 for loans to agricultural inter-
ests. Governor Harding, with whom
the Nebraska senator conferred, is-
sued a statement saying that the
matter was one not within the prov
ince of the board as it concerns the
use of funds which the law required
should be paid into the treasury.
Several Plans Made.

CHANGES IN COVENANT
IS DISCUSSED FREELY
PUBLIC DEBT OF THE U. S.
SHOWS AN INCREASE

Washington, Dec. 2.-An increase
of S112,646,571 in the public debt
during the month of November, was
announced today by the Treasury.
The total gross debt on November
80, was $24,175,156,244.14 as COM
pared with $24,062, ,50s,6 ,672.s6 on
October 81. The issuance Of $780,
100000 in treasury certificates on
November Is, was responsible for the
increase in the debt, according to
treasury officials, who explained that
the certificates maturing during the
month amounted,to only $4,000, 900
Officials declared, however, the con-
tinuance of the quarterly decrease in
the public debt was in no way halted
because decreases were only possible
when the quarterly tax receipts made
available further reductions.

THE BAPTIST NIGH
SCHOOL FOR
BOYS

Mr.. G. T. Barnes, secretary Of the
chamber of commerce, with a few
others attended the meeting Of the
Baptist education commission in Col:
'umbia Tuesday, and made bid in
behalf Of Abbeyilie for the new boys
preparatory school which the Baptists
are to establish. The Abbeville dele
cation was we'll received, and the pre-
sentation of Abbeville's offer by Mr..
Barnes and Mr.. J. s. Stark made
deep impression upon members of
the commission. It is believed that
this city has splendid chance to win
out, though a final decision will not
be reached until after the meeting Of
the Baptist State convention next
week.
The Baptists propose to establish
five academies in the eastern and
southern parts of the State and pre-
paratory school for boys in the up
per part of the State. The academies
will be co-educational. Proposals from
various sections were received by the
commission at it's meeting this week,
but no definite action was taken upon
any of the proposed new schools.
Because of present conditions in the
business world, the commission rec
ognized the futility of attempting to
secure any large sum in cash at this
time.
Abbeville is we'll in the running"
for the Baptist school for boys, and
our people may yet have opportunity
to manifest their interest in such an
institution in a testing way.

Harrisburg, Penn, Dec. Cen.
tralization Of authority in the federal
government, and it's partial loss by
the states Of the union, Governor
Cooper, of South Carolina, told the
annual conference of governors tod.
day, is chiefly due to the fact that
states to a considerable degree have
failed in performing the services that
the public has demanded.
"Our states, unless they besti1
themselves, will not prove indestruc.
tible," Gov. Cooper said. "If we
continue in the way we have been 60
ing for fifty years, there is grave
danger that we shall lose one of the
elements Of strength in our national
life, namely its political individuali-
ty.
81 confess to you that it is difficult
to say, definitely, what should be done
in order to decentralize. The prob
lem is not one to be discussed in de-
tail. 1t is rather a school Of political
thought, philosophy of life. The
first step, therefore, in effect the ends
implied by my theme is to get the de-
Capitalization thinkers out in the
open and devise line Of thought and
action which ultimately will check
the row Of all authority to Washing
ton and bring back to the several
states that part of it which can be
best exercised by subdivisions. We
are drifting toward centralization be-
cause the people will it, or at least
they do not check it. We shall drift
lack the other way when people are
so minded. The problem is one of

ers.
Mr.. Meyer told the joint committee
that the act creating the war finance
corporation was passed four months
after the armistice and intended by
congress to bridge over the situation
by financing exports until normal
economic conditions were restored
He said conditions now were those
which congress had in mind in en-
acting the measure, and that restora'
tion of the corporation would have
tremendous stabilizing effect.
Corn for Coal?
Farmers in some sections of Ne
braska have said they will burn
their corn because at current prices
it would not pay for coal, L. o. S.
Scroyer, secretary of the Farmers
union, asserted. He urged further
credits, immediate financing to export
surplus crops, a protective tariff and
appointment of "dirt farmer as
secretary Of agriculture.
Opposition to the "revamping" OF
war time government agencies for
peace time operation was expressed
in a statement by Senator Edge, Re-
publican, of New Jersey. He was
anxious, he said, to help the farmers
and other classes equally, but added
that consumers were tired of high
prices.
The only durable and infallible
barometer of business is the law Of
supply and demand" Senator Edge
said, "and to set up an artificial, un-
economic and false structure for the
maintenance of prices because some
certain industries are suffering is
only postponing the evil day when
all business and industry, including
the farmers, inevitably must face the
music"

Washington, Dec. 2.-By direction
Of President Wilson, Secretary Dan
iels placed the presidents yacht

dent-elect Harding, today to COM
plete his trip from Panama to Wash

folk, informing him that the May
flower would be at Hampton Roads
Saturday when the Pastores is due
there and that President Wilson
would be happy to have Senator
Harding use the vessel for the pas
sage to Washington.
The message said:
"The Aayflower will be in Hamp-
ton Roads upon your arrival and the
president will be happy to place it
at your disposal as he understands
you are coming to Washington from
Norfolk"
It was assumed that the May
flower would be ordered to lie at an
chor in Hampton Roads after con-
veying Secretary Colby to that port
Saturday preparatory to his trip to
South America.
The president previously offered
Senator Harding the use of The May
flower and also Of a battleship for
his journey when he learned that the
senator intended to 60 to Panama
on his vacation trip: Senator Hard
ing declined the offer, saying his
arrangements had already been
made.

HITCHCOCK DRAWS BILL AF-
TER SEEING GOV. HARDING.
AVAILABLE AT ONCE-NE-
BRASKA SENATOR WILL PRE-
SENT MEASURE WHEN CON-
GRESS MEETS NEXT WEEK.
LOAN WOULD COME FROM
GOVERNMENT

Washington, Dec. 2.-Immediate
loans of $6o,o0O,oOo from govern
ment funds to aid farmers in the
face Of falling prices Of their pro-
ducts is proposed by Senator Hitch
cock, democrat, Nebraska, in a bill
drawn today after conference with
Governor Harding of the Federal
Reserve board. Senator Hitchcock
plans to present the measure when
congress meets next week.
The money which Senator Hitch
cock would have advanced to the
farmers is the governments share
in profits Of the Federal Reserve
banks, payable next month, and
which under the law would be used
to increase gold reserves or amor
tise Liberty bonds. '
Loans would be made through the
federal land banks on chattel mort
cages or warehouse receipts with ag-
ricultural products or livestock as
security. Loans on grain would be
limited to six months and those on
live stock to one year.
"This would be only a drop in the
bucket toward meeting the enor-
nous needs of agriculturists," said
Senator Hitchcock, 'but it would
have a good effect beyond the &C
tual amount of money made avail
able:"
Senator Hitchcock indicated that
Governor Harding was favorably in
clined toward the plan, in view of
the fact that the profits from the; re-
serve banks would not be large
enough to take up any substantial
amount Of Liberty bonds as compar-
ed with the amount outstanding.
Opposition to the revival of the
war finance corporation or any 9TH
er Of the governmental war emer-
gency measures looking to the un-
derwriting Of prices and private
business, was expressed today by
Senator Edge of New Jersey, )mem-
ber Of the senate committee on re-
construction. The New Jersey sena-
tor declared he would support no
measure for relief Of the farmers
which did not afford relief "for the
other 80 per cent Of the population"

request from Commissioner of Agri.

pose of enacting stay law, or mora.

In conference with the Governor
Mr.. Brown called attention to numer.
GUS cases where livestock and imple.
ments of farmers have been sold un-
der foreclosure proceedings to pay
for farm supplies, and expressed the
opinion that general foreclosures
should they be resorted to, would de-
prive farmers of the means of pro-
ducing a crop next year, would bene-
fit creditors very little and bring on
complete agricultural decentralization
The commissioner expressed the be-
lief that it would be necessary fol
similar laws to be enacted by all the
cotton states to get the full benefit
of such an expedient.

AMENDMENTS FOR REVISION OF
LEAGUE OF NATIONS is
BROUGHT TO FRONT AT AS.
sEMBLY AT GENEVA WITH AC.
TON TO BE TAKEN LATER
HOWEVER. DRUMMOND SENDS
MESSAGE TO. PRESIDENT
WILSON

Geneva, Dec. 3.-Amendments
for revision held the floor OF the
: assembly the league Of nations today
the debate bringing out clearly that
amendment Of the covenant was IN
the minds Of nearly al the dele
gates, some Of whom were more
pressing in their desire Apr a perfect
instrument than others, but all
thinking of a revision that would re-
move obstacles to the entry Of the
United States.
Article 10 was not mentioned in
the debate, but has been frequently
discussed in small circles, and N. W.
Rowell, of Canada, when he insisted
that adoption Of resolution by a
committee should be understood as
closing the door to presentation be-
fore the assembly Of other amend
ments than those proposed by the
Scandinayians, is said to have been
subjected to much contention.
The delegations of the British
dominions have been studying how
to. approach, the assembly on this
question. The eventual proposal to
eliminate Article 10 is somewhat
compromised by the general under
standing that consideration OF all
proposed changes should be post
poned until studied by . special com,
mittee. This understanding, how
ever, came largely from the anxiety
Of the delegates not to precipitate
revision until the attitude Of the
United States under the new gov
ernment is known.
Leon Bourgeois Of the French
delegation is perturbed lest the in
vestigation Of the committee should
, lead is to consider alteration in
volving revision Of the treaty OF
Versailles and he demanded today
that it be understood that the COM
rnittee should declare itself imcom-
petent to consider any movement to
the covenant that involved modifica-
tion of the treaty.
The close of the debate brought
a moment of great suspense when
Senior Purrydon, Argentina, who
failed to take part in the debate,
voted alone against the resolution re
jecting consideration Of amendments
to the covenant at this session. The
presiding officer, NJ. Hymans, hesita-
ted as if unable to believe that q
single delegate would prevent un-
animity.
N. Viviani, France, relieved the
tension when he remarked that post
penement of consideration Of
amendments involved only "ques-
ton of procedure, in which unani-
nifty was not necessary. Thereupon,
the chairman declared adoption OF
the resolution which provided that
the Scandinavian amendment be
studied by a committee-to report
to the council-and giving the COM
mittee authority to consider any
other amendments that may be pro-
posed.

"The (Tonning) letter has very little
