RATE ON FARM LOAN
BONDS INCREASED
House Passes Senate Bill Ad.
vancing Interest to 5H2
Per Cent.

Observation-Disclosures means Of IA
cilitating credit by a route around the
country bank, already heavily loaded
with agricultural loans, is found in the
senate bill Tuesday passed by the
house of Representatives increasing
the interest rate on the bonds issued
under authority of the farm loan law
from to 5h per cent. The extra
one-half per cent in interest the OBJ
legations are to bear continues until
July 80, 1923, after which the bonds
revert to the per cent basis of the
original act.
AS explained during the debate for
passage of the bill, on account of the
eral farm loan banks and the joint
stock land banks are not able to dis
pose of their obligations under the 5
per cent limitation, particularly since

Under the new provision approx.

A committee of Texans probably
will leave for Washington from Dallas
this week, following meeting there
of the eleventh district federal reserve
board. Three members of the special
committee, Marion SAMSON of Fort
Worth, Frank Kell of Wichita Falls
and R. l.. Ball OF San Antonio, are
members of the eleventh district board.
The other members are j. D. Jackson
of Alpine, honorary vice president OF
the Texas and Southwestern Cattle
Raisers' Association; A. C. Williams,
assistant secretary, and Claude B.
Hudspeth, congressman of the Ell Paso
district. 1t is probable also that w.

the association, will make the trip to
Washington. Mr.. Williams has gone

that will be used to illustrate the plight
of the cattle industry as regards the

Evening Frocks.

Evening summer frocks are made of
very soft materials, cut rather straight
chemise style, trainless and quite sim
pie of trimming. Among the favorite
colors used one notices coral, bottle
green and pure white. These frocks
are quite short and boast widely far
ing skirts, the fullness being-most
generally-pIaced on the side. Pale
blue and lavender is a delightful color
combination. The material for many
of these frocks Is the ever-femln!ne
chiffon.

ENRICO CARUSO IS DEAD.

Naples, Italy.-CarusO, the great
singer, whose ultimate recovery had
been hoped for under the benign in
fluences of his own Italy, passed away
at the Hotel Vesuvius in Naples. He
had been brought here hurriedly from
Sorrento, on the Bay of Naples, where
less than week ago he avowed his
returning strength and expressed the
conviction that he would sing again
as in the old days.
He had been able to visit the ia
nous sanctuary of Our Lady OF Pom
peii, giving thanks offering for his re-
covery.
He went also to the wonderful Island
of Capri, where he attended lunch
con in his honor, but soon afterward
unfavorable symptoms in the form OF
higher fever manifested themselves
and his wife telegraphed to a Rome
specialist to come to Sorrento. 1t was
then discovered that a new internal
abscess had developed.
Caruso's removal to Rome for an Op-
Grafton was advised but he showed
such weakness that it was impossible
to transfer him further than Naples,
where he arrived by sea Sunday even
ing. Four eminent physicians were
called in consultation, and their ex-
animation showed the presence Of
subphrenic abscess, accompanied by
severe peritonitis.
An operation was decided upon, but
the patients condition became sudden
ly worse. Prior to this heart stimu-
lation was resorted to hourly.
In order that Caruso should not tire
himself, the attending physicians or
dered him not to speak, and during
his last night he uttered no word. or
the members of his family present at
the death bed, the most pathetic was
his old mother, who had always clung
obstinately to her little home, despite
her sons efforts to accustom her to
the material comforts of life.

THEODORE PRICE SAYS CONDITIONS
JUSTIFY THE ALMOST UNANIMOUS
OPTIMISM THAT SEEMS TO Be FELL

to believe that employment increas-
ed during the week. OF significance
to the cotton market, and therefore
to this entire section, is the fact that
employment increased nearly 10000
during the week in England.
From all parts Of the country come
reports Of Increased bank clearances
and, what is even more significant,
increased building. The latter is one
of the best signs that has appeared
since the rise in cotton. And there
is every promise that this will con-
time to increase during the next few
months.
All influences at the moment are
in the direction of improved business
but one, and curiously enough that
is the one that has made the most
promises and done the most boasting

Theodore H. Price, in his weekly
review, quotes long list Of head
lines Of different parts Of the coun-,
try, all of which are TO the general
effect that business is improving IN
many lines. Commenting on this he
SAYS: 1.-THE detail of the weeks rec
ord seems to justify the almost I'M
animous optimism that now seems to
be felt"
His review amply bears out this
statement, and other matters in the
days news support it. As If in re-
ply TO the nervous feeling over the
reduced cotton export Of last week,
news comes from Great Britain,
where the chief falling off occurred,
of a better cotton situation and an
improved outlook. From all the do
nestle markets come optimistic re-
ports, and the inflated financial sit
uation in Germany seems to be the
only cloud on the horizon. Increased
gold supply during the week in the
United States and lower discount
rates at New York and Boston, which
may be expected TO spread to other
reserve districts, improve the finan'
cial situation. Steel prices have i'm
proved, and there is every reason

l.. J. Atkinson Of Bonham express
Is the opinion in an interview in
the Dallas News that the people Of
Texas are coming TO realize more
than ever the value Of education. He
cites the increased attendance at
schools and colleges Of all kinds in
the State this year, as indicated by
early reports. ''fhe fact, as | see
IT," he says, sis that the fathers and
mothers who did not place a great
deal Of faith in an education as q
business asset for young men, have
watched the fellows who have pre-
pared to outstrip their own children
in a time Of stress, and are seeing
TO Il that others In their families are
not going TO start out under the
handicap Of limited education"
There may be something 10 this. but
the fact remains that the percentage
o. boys and girls In Texas who reach
the high schools Is still very low.
There still remains much 10 be de-
sired, both In the Kind Of education
we are providing for our children,
ard the percentage Of parents who
realize that almost any sacrifice u
justified IN obtaining an education
Of their children. Hut Il IA fact

from being a much better measure.
But it is an improvement on the
present law and will do considerable
To stimulate revival when il becomes
a law. II has been temporarily side
tracked for the treaties with Ger
many. Austria and Hungary, but
these should be out Of the way soon.
The establishment Of legal peace
will also be a stabilizing influence,
but not so great as II might have
been had it come year or more ago.
Congress has before It another I'M
portant measure TO business in the
railroad funding bill. Eugene Mey-
en- Jr.. chairman of the War Finance
Corporation, expresses the confident
belief that the passage Of this bill
would mean the employment of a
million men at a conservative esti-
mate.
mot only would the railroads, by
the passage Of this bill, be put in the
position of meeting their unpaid ac-
counts already past due he says,
but they would be able 10 go ahead
with their maintenance-of-way and
repair-of equipment work. This
would directly employ a very large
number of men. In addition TO the
direct labor we may count the in
direct labor involved in producing
and transporting lumber for ties ard
iron and steel used for maintenance
or repairs. There is also TO be count
ed the labor in the mining Of the
ore. the transportation thereof, the
mining of the coal and the manufac-
turing Of the coke 20 turn the ore
into iron and steel, the labor in the
, iron furnaces, in the steel plants, ard

in the finishing plants. The employ
ment Of all these men would give
them and their families an enlarged
purchasing power which in turn
would put large additional numbers
of men TO work"
In view Of all this, pressure should
be brought upon Congress to pass
this measure promptly and not fritz
ter away any more time. The unem-
ployment conference which convenes
in Washington might look into this
at the very outset, for we are con-
WINGED that il would do more for the
immediate relief II the country by
urging the prompt passage Of this
bill, than by outlining a program of
increased public works which must
mean also increased taxes and in
creased burdens on business.
With this outlook for the future,
the action taken by business men in
New York TO institute a Buyers
Week" or more properly a buyers
two weeks, as that will be its dura-
ton, is very timely. Philadelphia,
and Newark, n. j., already have fall
len in line to follow New York's ex-
ample in this, and the movement
ought TO spread TO include the whole
country. The country can stand two
weeks intensive buying without dan
ger Of an after-effect, for all the Ill
innate influences are for continued
Improvement Such a period Of buy
ing in which the people of the coun.
try supplied all their immediate needs
