Washington, April 2S.-Governor
Harding of the Federal Reserve
Board announced today that he may
begin next week personal survey
of the farm credit situation in tho
middle Western states.
The board the governor said had
thought it advisable that he make a
tour Of the farming area SO as to-
learn the first hand problems of coun-

The real crux Of the farmers prob
lem is the foreign situation Mr.. Hard
ing said. .
The farmers must have market
for their commodities as they can
not go on indefinitely with no sale.
A reduction Of the rediscount rate
might aid the farmers by making
possible a more liberal market for
grain and cotton not only in England
but in European countries.
The Federal reserve board has no.
specific plan for the relief of farm
ers. Reserve banks could not make
direct loans to farmers but they
might rediscount loan Of member.

said indicate next years cotton crop
will be within rs per cent of this

the present cotton year July 1 there.

In the face of this situation bank-
ers naturally are cautious in increas-

FUNERAL OF NIB. E. A. WELFARE

FUNERAL OF NIB. E. A. WELFARE
The funeral of Mr.. E. A. Welfare
of Winston father Of Messrs. R. c.,
and Will Welfare of Wilson was
conducted from the Moravian church
at four o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
The following resolution was read
by Bishop Rondthaler.
Our departed brother Edward
Alexander Welfare was the eldest son
of the family of Reuben Welfare and
his wife Eliza Rominger. He was
born in Forsyth County near Glenn
monsville on May "a, 1889 and in
infancy was presented by his parents
to the Lord in holy baptism.
In his older boyhood he came to
live for time in old Salem and serv-
ed in the care of the property of the
Salem Female Academy.
He was entering young manhood
when the Civil War called for the
service of the sons Of the Southland
and he responded, entering the con-
federate Army and serving with hon
or during the four years of awful
strife. He was member Of the
twenty-first North Carolina Regiment
and had part in a number of the
major engagements Of the war. He
was wounded in the battle Of Gettys-
burg and was conveyed from there to
the Confederate Hospital at Wilson,
N. c., but he carried with him for life
the bullet that was imbedded in his
throat.
During his long residence in this
community our brother was variously
employed. First, in the mercantile
business with his brother Charles on
South Main St. and later as clerk
with the Fries Store and Giersh and
Hampton establishments. His last
work was with the Southern Railway
from which he retired in January
1920.
On November IA, 1885, Bro. Wei
fare made public profession of faith
in Christ as his Saviour at the time
of the great Elm Street Revival. As
a member of the Home Moravian
church he was faithful in attendance
upon its services and was deeply in
terested in its progress. He was a
loyal member Of the Mems Bible
Class and one interested greatly in
bringing others to attend its sessions.
He was a man Of cheerful happy
disposition, who formed many friend
ships and was able to maintain them.
His comrades in gray" were espe-
cially dear to him and he priced the
opportunities afforded by the re-
unions to meet with the old friends
and to review with them the exper-
fences Of the trying days.
!, For the past year he had been in
failing health but had continued to

The First Soviet.

The city of St. Petersburg, the intel lectual capital of the country, with it's large industrial population was, natur- ally enough, one of the chief storm centers of the revolution. It was there that the council (Soviet of workmens deputies came into being. The idea of setting up this institution was born in the early days of October, 1905, and the press began to agitate for 1t among the working population of the capital. On October 12 the first session of the Soviet took place in the Neurological institute. At this session an appeal was issued to the workmen of the capital, urging them to strike and to formulate extreme political de- mands. I ordered the arrest of the whole Soviet, which order Durnoyo carried out on December 8. Durnovo feared that the members would dis perse and escape if he started arrest ing them separately. He therefore waited for the Soviet to meet, which the latter hesitated to do. Their fears were well founded, for as soon as the body gathered on December in the hall of the Free Economic society, the members, 190 in all, were rounded up and arrested.-Count-Wi in the Worlds Work.

"SAPPER"

''There is question which occurs to me, Count, before l make up my mind on the matter. Are you disposed to be little more communicative about yourself? If we agree to come in on this hand, it's going to cost big money. The handling of that money is with you. Wal-who are yOu?"
 Von Gratz nodded his head in agree ment. Steinemann raised his eyes to faced them.
 "A very fair question, gentlemen, and yet one which I regret I am unable to answer. I would not insult your in- telligence by giving you the fictitious address of-a fictitious Count. Enough that I am a man whose livelihood lies in other peoples pockets. AS you say, Mir. Hooking, 1t is going to cost big money; but compared to the results the costs will be a fiea-bite. You will have to trust me, even as I shall have to trust you. You will have to trust me not to divert the money which you give me as working expenses into my own pocket. I shall have to trust you to pay me when the job is fin ished. .''
 And that payment will be-how much?" Steinemann's guttural voice broke the silence.
 "One million pounds sterling-to be split up between you in any proportion you may decide. and to be paid within one month of completion of my work. After that the matter will pass into your hands =. and may you leave that cursed country groveling in the dir ty .. ." His eyes glowed with fierce, vindictive fury; and then, as if replac- ing mask which had slipped for moment, the Count was once again the suave, courteous host. He had stated his terms frankly and without haggling; stated them as one big man states them to another of the same kid ney, to whom time is money and inde- cision or beating about the bush ana thema
 Perhaps, Count, you would be good enough to leave us for a few minutes" Von Gratz was speaking. 'The deci- sion is big one, and ."
 "Why. certainly, gentlemen" The Count moved toward the door. "I will return in ten minutes. By that time you will have decided-one way or the other"

GRACE DARLING REAL HEROINE.
Bravery of FraiI Girl Thrilled All EngIand-Died of Consumption
 at an Early Age.

Grace Darling, one of the greatest heroines of British marine history, won undying fame when but twenty three years old, and of frail physique, by accompanying her father, and in- spiring him to the effort of saving the lives of some passengers on ship wrecked in a terrific gale that swept the seas near her island home.
 The Forfarshire sailed from Hull with 9 cabin passengers, 19 steer age passengers and a crew of 20 on a day in September, 1888. Passage was made through the Farne islands, channel, and the ship entered Der wick bay. Here the gale was at it's worst, and the ship was swept on the Farne island rocks.
 The mate and eight of the crew, with one cabin passenger, hurried away in a lifeboat. The screams of the other survivors were heard by Grace Darling. When her father he's itated to launch their lifeboat on the heavy sea, she jumped into it, and he followed her. On the first trip they rescued nine, and on a later trip her father saved four more. The British government gave her a money grant, and the public, thrilled by the story. raised a huge subscription list. Four years later Grace Darling died of con. sumption.

may be possible to recognize. the fault in blood lines or type. But when fail ure to mate occurs frequently and when the type is right, the indications are that the system of management is fundamentally wrong.
 Upon the appearance of this condi- tion an effort should be made to cor rect it by a restriction or modification of the diet and an abundance of exer- else. The ration must have the fat producing feeds largely reduced and protein feeds plentifully supplied Pastures should be provided where pos sible, but when these are not avail able then the ration should consist of alfalfa meal, alfalfa, soybean or clover hay to supply protein and vitamines, high-grade tankage, fish meal, linseed meal, or a good grade of white mid dlings and whole oats-with but small amounts of corn or ground barley, to- gether with a good mineral mixture. In addition an abundance of daily ex- ercise must be given This will prob- ably have to be forced by driving the boar or SOW about the paddocks or pastures daily until the animal is tired.
 By maintaining the digestive fnnc- tions in a proper manner, by causing abundant exercise and by supplying proper nourishment there will be brought about proper elimination of the body wastes and a rebuilding of the tissues. This should cause the reproductive organs to function prop erly and bring about a toning up of the system in such manner that breed ing operations will be successfully con ducted.
 Swine breeders must be alert to the necessity for ruggedness in herd boars in addition to other qualifications. Breeders must refrain also from too great a degree of fineness and smooth ness in the selection of their breeding animals. or loss of breeding power will ultimately develop in their herds.

l manager bowed deferentiaIly and rubbed his hands together Every thing is ready. and three guests have arrived''
 Good. I will go to the room at once"
 As he followed his guide his eyes swept round the lounge. Save for two or three elderly women of doubtful nationality, and man in the Ameri- can Red Cross, the place was desert ed; and as he passed through the swing doors he turned to the head waiter.
 Business good?' he asked.
 NO-business decidedly was not good. The waiter was volub1e. Busi- ness had never been so poor in the memory of man. But it was to be hoped that the dinner would be to Monsieur le Comte's liking. .. Also the wines.
 ''If everything is to my satisfaction you will not regret it." said the count tersely. "But remember one thing. After the coffee has been brought in. I do not wish to be disturbed under any circumstances whatever" The head waiter paused as he came to door, and the count repeated the last few words. Under no circumstances whatever"
 "Mais certainement. Monsieur le COmte. l, personally will see to it.
 As he spoke he flung open the door and the count entered. It cannot be said that the atmosphere of the room was congenial. The three occupants were regarding one another in hostile silence, and as the count entered they, with one accord. transferred their sus- picious glances to him.
 For a moment he stood motionless, while he looked at each one in turn. Then he stepped forward.
 Good evening" gentlemen"-he still spoke in Frencb-"I am honored at your presence" He turned to the head waiter 'Let dinner be served in five minutes exactly"
 With a bow the man left the room, and the door closed.
 During that five minutes, gentle men, propose to introduce myself to you, and you to one another. The business which I wish to discuss we will postpone, with your permission, till after the coffee, when we shall be undisturbed."
 In silence the three guests waited until he unwound the thick white muf- fer; then, with undisguised curiosity, they studied their host. In appearance he was striking. He had short dark

 "I guess I don't see what my private feelings have to do with it. But if it's of any interest to the company you are correct in your belief"
 Good" The Count nodded his head as If satisfied. q take it then that you would not be averse to seeing England down and out"
 Wal" remarked the American, you can assume anything you feel like. Let's go to the showdown"
 Once again the Count nodded his head; then he turned to the two Ger mans.
 Now you two gentlemen must ad- init that your plans have miscarried somewhat. It was no part of your or iginal programme that British army should occupy Cologne. :"
 'The war was the act of a fool" snarled Herr Steinemann. "In a few years more of peace, we should have beaten those swine. ."
 And now-they have beaten you." The Count smiled slightly. "Let us admit that the war was the act of a fool, if you like, but as men of busi- ness we can only deal with the result. The result, gentlemen, as it concerns us. Both you gentlemen are

Rocking, have no love on personal grounds for the English But I am not propos- ing to appeal to financiers of your rep utation on such grounds as those to support my scheme. -. It is enough that your personal predilec- tiOns run with and not against what l am about to put before you-the de feat of England 1. defeat more utter and complete than if she had lost the war.
 His voice sank little, and instinct ively his three listeners drew closer.
 Don't think I am proposing this through motives of revenge merely. We are business men, and revenge is only worth our while if it pays. This will pay. There is a force in England which, if it can be harnessed and led properly, will result in millions coming to you. =. It is present now in every nation-fettered, inarticulate, un-co-ordinated. =. It is partly the result of the war-the war that the idiots have waged. Harness that force, gentlemen, coordinate it, and use it for your own ends. . That is my proposal. Not only will you humble that cursed country to the dirt, but you will taste of power such as few men have tasted before. . :" The Count stood up, his eyes blazing. And IT will do it for you"
 He resumed his seat, and his left hand, slipping off the table, beat a tattoo on his knee.
 'This is our opportunity-the oppor- tunity of clever men. I have not got the money necessary: you have" |. He leaned forward in his chair, and glanced at the intent faces of his au- dience. Then he began to speak. ..
 Ten minutes later he pushed back his chair.
 "There is my proposal, gentlemen, in a nutshell. Unforeseen develop ments will doubtless occur; I have spent my life overcoming the unexpect- ed. What Is your answer"
 He rose and stood with his back to them by the fire. and for several minutes no one spoke. Each man was busy with his own thoughts, and showed it in his own particular way. Comte de Guy stared unconcernedly at the fire, as if indifferent to the result of their thoughts. In his attitude at that moment he gave true expression to his attitude on life. Accustomed to plav with great stakes, he had just dealt the cards for the most gigantic gamble of his life. :. What matter to the three men, who were looking at the hands he had given them, that only a master criminal could have con ceived such a game? The only ques- tion which occupied their minds was whether he could carry it through. And on that point they had only their judgment of his personality to rely on.
 Suddenly the American removed the toothpick from his mouth and stretched out his legs.

] I'VE STOCK
FAILURE OF SWINE TO MATE
1t May Be Caused by Improper Func- tioning of System Brought About
 by Improper Feed.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Failure in the ability or desire of swine to reproduce may be caused by any of several conditions, say special iStS of the United States Department of Agriculture. It may result from a disease or injury that seriously af- fectS or destroys the secretory repro ductive organs. It may be caused by improper functiOnlng of the system, which in turn is often brought about by unsuitable feed or faulty elimina- tiOn of waste products, or it may be due to a general lowering of body vi- tality.
 There are also cases of sterility or impotence for which definite causes quite frequently occurs in bOars and sows which have been fitted and kept in high condition for show purposes. In some instances the SOW fails to come in heat, or perhaps indicates that she is in heat and Is successfully served by the boar without resulting conception. In other cases the boar shows no desire to mate, or acts in- effectively.
 The first step in overcoming the trouble is to find a positive cause, when possible, by making a thorough examination. This should include a search for physical defects, the pres ence of disease, the results of injuries. or lowered vitality from any cause.
 When, from such examination, it appears that proper treatment will prove successful, remedies should be administered promptly. But if the cause is obscure, or if there Is little likelihood of correcting the defect sue cessfully, it is best to remove the ami. nal from the breeding herd. Boars may be castrated and fitted for slaughter as market hogs. Similarly sOws should be discarded when they become uncertain breeders.
 When there is no apparent cause for failure of swine to mate, experts of the United States Department of Agriculture frequently have observed a lazy or sluggish temperament. These hogs generally are of the type known as '-hot-bloods." They are fat and show an unwillingness to exer- else. The tendency is more common in mature hogs and increases with age, but is frequently found in young stock. Careless and unwise inbreed- ing practices tend to produce hogs of this type. but inbreeding does not nee essarily bring about the condition.
 When the lack of sexual vigOr is
