Discussing curtailed loans Mr..
Houston said he believed the condi-
tions complained of were in no way
under control Of the banks.
"No one wishes to have the prices
lowered in the things he produces"
the letter said. "But the consumer
apparently has made up his mind
not to continue to pay high prices
Much trouble which is attributed to
the banks of the country and credit
conditions unquestionably arises
from fundamental conditions over
which the banks have no control"
Detailed reports from the banks
show the crop movements are being
financed amply, the secretary said,
adding that there was no reason
why the falling prices on these pro-
of credit. The federal reserve board
and treasury are in accord on thu
program of encouraging extension
of such credit by the banks, he said

capital is successfully financing the
exporters operations, Mr.. Houston
said.
The letters reiterated the treas
ury's policy of encouraging aid to
the farmers in crop movement but
said the suggestion that the treas
ury deposit funds in agricultural
sections for loans to the farmers
was ''highly unfeasible." The treas
ury, he said, was not in the banking
business and had been compelled to
borrow itself at high rates to meet
current requirements between tax
payments.
Orderly marketing of crop always
has been fostered by the treasury as
we'll as the federal reserve board,
Mr.. Houston said, but added that
the department frowns on the en-
ployment of borrowed funds to
maintain "war or higher than war
prices"

OLD SONGS BRING
TEARS TO EYES OF
!WEARERS OF GRAY

Houston. Tex. Oct. First
greeting their thiriteth annual re-
union here, began their business ses-
sions today with interest centering
in the election of a commander in
chief to succeed General X. M. Van
Zandt,' who has announced he would
not be a candidate for reelection,
and the contest for the next reun-
ion. g..
Friends of General Van Zandt
stated today that his name probably
would be placed in nomination for
reelection despite his disclination to
enter the contest. No other veteran
has formally announced as candi-
date for the Office although the name
of Lieutenant General Virgil Y.
Cook, of Batesville, Ark, command
er of the Trans-Mississippi depart
ment and Lieutenant General Julian
S. Carr, of Durham, N. c., COM
mander of the department of the
army of North Virginia, have been
mentioned in informal discussions.
Savannah, Ca, and Little Rock,
Ark, are among the cities expected
to contest for the next reunion.
Southern melodies dating back to
antelbellum days and carrying the
minds of the veterans to the time
they marched to battle to the same
tunes more than so years ago,
brought the old soldiers to their
feet at the opening session of
the reunion today. "Dixie" brought
forth vociferous cheers and, as one
after another of the familiar tunes
of the sixties were played, the veter-
ans gave free vent to their emo
tions. When the bands struck up
"The Girl I Left Behind Me-" many
tear was wiped away.
This mornings session was to be
followed by morning and afternoon

the relative increase for that period
was less than that shown for the first
forty year period.
Comparison of the rates of in
crease for the state with those for
the United States shows that the in
crease for the state during every de-
cade from 1890 to 1910, except two,
179O-1O00 and 1s7O-80, was lower
than that of the United States, the
rates for the decades between 1880
and 1870 having been far below those
shown for the United States.
The population of the state in 1910
was more than six times as large as
in 1890 while the population of the
United States in 1910 was more than
twenty-three times that in 1890.

TRUCKS AIDING ROAD PLANS
Long Island Cited as Example Of
Prosperity Maintained by EffI-
Client Highway System

By WINDSOR T. WHITE. Chairman
Motor Truck COMMITTEES, National Auto
mobile Chamber Of Commerce.)
Motor highway transportation has
grown to such vast Importance In the
past few years and has so well den-
onstrated its value and efficiency that
It has won official public recognition In
many Of our states. But this activity
can developsln q sound economic way
only as good roads programs are de-
yeloped. While there are examples
where motor transportation has sue
ceeded when run in territories that
have undeveloped roads, they, in com
parison with the thousands OF mo-
tortruck routes, are practically negli-
gibie.
One of our greatest wastes v the
handling Of the prime necessity, food,
occurs in our present transportation
methods. Hundreds of millions of dol
lars are annually wasted because the
present method of transportation
adapted to our present road system, Is
so costly that It does not pay to move
this food from the farm to an area OF
consumption.
II Is said that New York state has
1S,400 miles Of surface highways and
79,399 miles Of unimproved rural roads.
While the state has much higher per-
centage of improved roads than is COM
mon for the United States, they do not
benefit the farmer as much as could
be desired.
Long Island is one OF the most pros
porous agricultural areas in New York
state. It is not exceptionally fertile; In
fact, 1t may be said that It is fertile
because man has made It so. There are
many areas In the state that are nat
urally more productive than Long Is
land, but which are far less prosper

SALTS IF BAcKAcHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
stop Eating Meat for a While u
Your Blsddsrls Troubling =
You.

When you wake>up with backache
and dull misery In the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says, a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys In their effort
to filter It from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and lOggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physl-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
clst about four ounces Of Jad Salts |;
take tablespoonful In glass Of
water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutrallze acids in the urine so it no
longer irrltates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
