WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO FINANCE CROPS
Suggests That Government Borrow
Money and Deposit II in Nation
al Banks to Be Loaned
-
to Farmers,

Washington, D. c., Oct. lS.--Declar-
ing that some one must finance this
years crops, George P. Hampton. man
aging director of the farmers national
council, to-day wrote the federal re-
serve board suggesting that, in event
the board definitely decides against
making an effort to get its members
to discount farm paper and warehouse
receipts, the government borrow mon
ey and deposit it in national banks
to be loaned to ,the farmers at not
more than one per cent in excess Of
the rate the government pays.
Farmers thus would be able, MIR.
Hampton said, to hold at least part
of their crops until they can get cost
OF production plus a reasonable profit,
or until there is an effective consump.
tion demand.
Either the primary producers or
these who are seeking TO get control
OF farm products and who are able to
get credit from some source must
finance the crop, the letter said
THE men seeking TO corner sgricfil-
tursl products will not reduce the
prices at which they sell crops any
longer than they have to, Mr.. Hamp-
ton declared "The law of supply and
demand will be unavailing in case
these hoarders can obtain an embargo
OH importation of farm products in
crude condition, as it is intimated they
intend to do"

the statement of Sen. Harding, tho

IL need not point out to you this
grave and extraordinary inference Il

namely, that the government oi

vate citizen of nation, which is not
a member of the league, with a request
that the United States lead the way

Declaring that the state department
had always found the government OF
France most honorably mindful of its
international obligations and punctili.

DRIVEN INSANE BY
WIFE'S UNF4ITHFULNESS
Defense of George Brown at 0ssipee,
N. H., Was Listened to BY
Big Crowd.

Osslpee, n. H., Oct lS-George
Brown. who is ON trial for the murder
of Richard Dunn at Sandwich on Feb
Q, was pictured in his ccunsel's closing
plea to-day as man who was driven
insane for the time being by the dis
covery of his wife's unfsithfulnes. The
prisoner sat throughout the long argu-
ment by Judge Sewell w. Abbott of
Wolfboro, his senior counsel, without
much sign of emotion, But Mrs. Brown
was apparently deeply stirred She
kept her handkerchief at her face al
most constantly and was frequently
shaken by sobs. Mrs. Dunn, the wild
ow of the slain man, remained dry
eyed and attentive.
A large part of the population of
this village attended the closing ses-
sion Of the trial and many persons, un-
able to get into the court room, lin
gered outside all day.
Judge Abbott told the jury that the
burden of proof Law with the state to
show that Brown was not insane and
that il was not necessary for the de-
fense to bring positive proof Of in.
sanity. In his remarks he made ref
erencc to the attorney general, which
led Judge John Kivel, who presided,
TO direct him TO keep TO the issues in
volved in the case Those issues. Judge
kivel said, were the questions of mur.
der in the first degree, murder in the
second degree and insanity.

NEITHER OCCUPANT
SEVERELY INJURED
Although Automobile Containing Z. w
Kittredge and Mrs. Charles Good
rich Turned Over Near
Montpelier During
Darkness

E. w, Kittredge and a woman
whose name was given Saturday might
to the Montpelier police as Mrs
Charles Goodrich of Mortified, were
taken to Heaton hospital in Montpelier
for treatment as result of an auto
mobile accident that took place near
the Farnham hill in Montpelier about
l2:l5 o'clock Sunday morning. The
woman went to her home, after the
wound in her face was dressed and
it was expected that the man would 20
to his home to day, neither Of them
having experienced serious injuries al
though their automobile was turned
over once and changed ends in the
highway,
From what could be learned regard
ing the matter, they went to Montpel-
ier in the early evening and attended
the dance in the armory, leaving about
the time it was over, and, using auto
mobile, Fl -94S, which is registered to
Charles Goodrich of NorthfieId, started
for home.
When going down the Farnham hill,
50 called something happened and the
accident took place. II looked as
though they had been driving rather
fast, They were found by S, S. Ballard
and A. 3, sshepsrd, who called DR.. II.
W, Hartman and an ambulance. Kit
tredge was taken TO the hospital,
where il was found thst he had es-
capped broken bones. but gave lit
tie endication OF internal injuries.
The woman protested against go
IN TO the hospital and wanted to 90
home. but Officer Frank Baldwin di.
rected that she be taken to the hospi-
tai to ascertain if she had any injury
that needed attention. She was able
to 20 home in about an hour She was
taken to the hospital in Stanley Farm
hams automobile.
The automobile was righted and
then driven to the Williams garage in
Montpelier. where II showed the ef
fects of the accident, the top being
smashed, one tire damaged and miscel
laBeous damage done 20 the car
This accident happened close to the
place where the Cross automobile was
dumped few years, ago, which re-
suited in the death Of one of the occu-
pants of the machine at the time of
that accident.
The records Of the secretary of
stste's Office fail to show that Mrs
Charles Goodrich or =. W Kittredge of
Mortified bold an automobile oper-
ator's license so that il is very likely
that an investigation as to who oper-
sted the automobile will be made.

ANOTHER RANDOLPH BREAK.
Freight Office Entered But Little Was
Stolen.

Randolph, Oct. ls-The freight DC
pot was entered on Friday night, and
things were generally mixed up. For
some reason, perhaps because the in.
truders were frightened away, there
was not much loss.
Several things have been found out
side the town. which are thought to
have been dropped by the thieves who
made the raids on six stores last
Thursday night. Among these was un-
derclothing. On. the road, halfway to
Bethel. chocolates were found. having
probably been dropped by the thieves
in their haste TO leave town.
