WASHINGTON, March 21.-President
Harding and his cabinet have determined
after a long discussion of the agricultural
situation throughout the country, to study
specifically these methods of relief:
1.-The use of war powers of the exec
utive to embargo importations of wool,
meats. cotton, and other products which
are coming into the United States in such
quantities at present as to keep prices
from rising to the pre-war normals, be
low which they have gone in recent
months.
2-The more extensive use of the war
finance corporation to finance farming in

clover lies in the ability which it shares
with other clovers To utilize the nitro

truck had been boxed in with the same
material and housed two machine guns,
emplaced, and crew Of half a dozen
men crOuched on the floor engaged In
loading the belts. Four motor bicycles,
with sturdy, specially-built side cars
attached and a machine gun in each
side car, were waiting near by, togeth-
er with a half-dOzen country carts
loaded with ammunition cases and
drawn by horses.
