PLAN TO RAISE LOAN
 FUND OF $50,o00,0OO FOR GENTLEMEN RELIEF

Chicago,-A bankers fifty million, dollar pool, designated to give mmed, fate relief, by loans, to livestock men was recommended by Chicago, New York and other bankers meeting here at the request of Secretary of Treas ury Mellon.
 ..- Under the plan outlined, bankers of the United States will participate in the pool, which, according to John R. Mitchell of the Federal Reserves ys- tenn and Eugene Meyer, managing di- rector of the War Finance Corporation should tend toward bringing financial relief to stock raisers. Mitchell and Meyer represented Secretary Mellon.
 The session today followed confer ence in Washington between Secretary Mellon, Secretary Hoover, Senators Capper of Kansas, andKenyon of Iowa.
 Through the recommendations which will be later presented for rat ification by the conference of Chicago bankers, who in turn confer with New York financiers, livestock men would be enabled to procure thirty-six months credit on loans made at cur rent rates plus per cent, and not to exceed 8 per cent.
 Ratification of the plan is expect ed by both Chicago and New York bankers. The J. P. Morgan house it was said, had announced by telegram that it stood ready to participate to the extent of $25,000,000 if the plan met with the approval og the united banking executives.
 Administration of the pool would be placed in the hands of committee of trustes with paid manager. All ap- plications for funds would be passed on by a committee of three bankers from the State, county or township from which the application comes.
 The per cent addition to the cur rent interest rates would go to the country banker or commission inves- tigating the applicants credit.
 SITUATION URGENT.
 Handling of the matter through private channels is regarded as de- sirable because of the urgency of the situation. The purpose is to facili- tate the annual movement of cattle feeders from the Southwest to Mon- tana, Wyoming and other Northwest ern States.
 Among those who attended the Chicago conference is Senator Stan field of Oregon, who also participated in the meeting of last week in Wash ington.
 q believe that private credits to the amount of $50,0O0,000 would aid ma terially in the crisis now present out in our country" said Senator Stan field in discussing the livestock sit uation today. Naturally l desire to have the financial problem handled through private hands rather than through governmental aid. The Chi cago conference ought to decide defin- itely whether there is any need for Federal assistance. Private capital or Federal credits must work to save a situation that is headed straight for n meat famine."-L. A. Times.

Obituary..

On Sunday morning May 18th,
1921, the death angel visited the
home of Rev. Claudio Stotts and
claimed him for its victim. He
had been in poor health for about
a years, which ended in that
dreaded disease consumption.
As he was not, confined to his
bed, he was ready to start to
start to church that morning
when the end came. AS his
father drove up in a buggy to
carry him to church, Claude
started out to the buggy, and
just as he put his foot on the
step he coughed, and the blood
started gushing out of his mouth
and each side of his nose and he
only lasted about five minutes.
He was born Aug. 23rd, 1888,
died May 29th. 1921. He pro-
fessed faith in Christ at the age
of % years and united with the
M. E. Church, South, and was
afterward called to the ministry.
Soon his health began to rapidly
fail and he had to give up the
work. His Heavenly father had
greater use for him and called
him higher. He was married to
Miss Matte Campbell in Deem
Der 1909. To this union were
born 6 children, four of which
have already gone to heaven.
Only his wife and two children
survive him, besides he leaves a
father, mother, four brothers
and two sisters and a host of rel
atives and friends to mourn their
loss. Oh bereaved ones lets pray
and look beyond this vale of
tears, to caanan's happy cline
where Claudio and the babies
are resting in the promise land
for we know if we are
faithful, we will meet them some
sweet time.
