Americas Unknown
Soldier Laid to Rest

Washington.-Under the wide an(
starry skies of his own homeland
Americas unknown dead from France
sleeps now, a soldier home from the
wars.
Alone he lies in a narrow cell o1
stone that guards his body; but his
soul has entered into the spirit that
| is America Wherever liberty is held
| close in mems hearts the honor and
the glory and the pledge Of high en-
deavor poured out over this unknown
one of fame will be told and sung by
Americans for all time.
Scrolled across the marble arch of
the memorial raised to American sol
dier and sailor dead everywhere,
which stands like a monument behind
his tomb, runs this legend:
I'VE here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain"
The words were spoken by martyred
Lincoln over the dead at Gettysburg
and Friday with voice strong with de-
termination and ringing with deep emo
ton another president echoed that
high resolve over the coffin of the
soldier who died for the flag Of
France.
Great men in the worlds affairs
heard that high purpose reiterated by
the man who stands at the head of the
American people. President Hardings
declaration Friday beside the flag
wrapped, honor-laden bier was:
There must be, there shall be, the
commanding voice of conscious civil
ization against armed warfare"
Woodrow Wilson came out Of his Sc
cluded retirement Friday to pay silent
homage to the unknown dead and
found himself the recipient of one Of
the greatest ovations Of his career.
Seldom in the days of the pinnacle OF
his glory when he was cOmmander-in-
chief of the victorious army in which
the unknown perished did he receive
honors comparable to thost lavished
upon him Friady.
Greeted everywhere along the line
of march with the only demonstration
breaking the solemn stiffness of the oc-
casion, Mr.. Wilson returned to his
home to discover it surrounded a little
later by thousands of his fellow citi-
zens clamoring for his presence on
the portico.

'FARM CREDITS OF
$22,6O0,00O GIVEN
Total Of Eighty-Two lnstitu-

ing Loans.

Washington.-More than $22,600,0
In credit has been extended farmers
and stockmen during the two and one
half months since congress authorized
the War Finance Corporation to make
advances for agricultural and live
stock purposes, according to figures
made available Saturday by that agen'
cy.
Reports OF the corporations acttvi.
ties since Aug. "a, when the agricul.
tural and live stock authority became
operative, showed total credit in ex-
cess of s22,663,0OO (estimated), with
about eighty-two financial institutions,
located in nineteen states, for the pur-
pose of making loans to farmers and
stock raisers.
The states in which corporation ad-
vances for these purposes have been
made are Montana, Minnesota, Missou-
ri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Geor-
gia, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona,
Kansas, New York, Virginia, Indiana,
Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming.
Most of the advances, according to cor

advances made so far range from a
few thousand dollars up to one Of $751;
100000 to cooperative assosiatiOn in

QUARANTINE LIFTED

Galveston, Now Removed
From Area of Restricted
Shipping.

Washington-The island Of Calves.
boil worm quarantine, which allows
Galveston to make Interstate ship
| ments Of cotton from outside the
quarantine area without the formal
ity of a permit, as announced Wednes-
day by the United States department
Of agriculture. The amended regula-
tions were effective Nov. l. The de-
partment's announcement adds:
while no cotton is grown on the
island, the port of Galveston is an i'm
portant shipping point for cotton.
Practically all the cotton entering Gal
weston Is for foreign export, and for
this reason there has been little or no
objection to the inclusion of the town
and island in the infested area, which
includes Galveston County. 1t devel-
oped, however, that it might be ad-
visable to ship out of Galveston cot
ton that has come from part of the
state not under quarantine restriction.
1t was thought desirable, therefore, to
state of cotton from outside the quar-
antined area without restriction, as is
now the case with Houston.
"All quarantined cotton entering
Galveston will be covered by permits
authorizing expectation only. This
cotton will be accounted for from the
time 1t is ginned until it is marketed
and tagged and placed on shipboard.
Prior to the amendment of this regu-
lation, unquarantined cotton enter
ing Galveston could be shipped inter-
state only under permit from the fed
eral horticultural board. The amend
ment remedies this situation without
in any way weakening the protective
now being enforced relative
to cotton originating in infested
areas"
