My dear Mrs. Capcrton:
Just before left for this far a.

ana encouraging letter which
read with pleasure and profit.
I'VE sailed from New York De-
cembcr 10th. and after a very pleas
ant voyage reached this port Janu-
airy 18th. This is an Interesting
country. The needs of the field
are many. The people are poor
and very backward. The popula-
ton Of the Republic is 1000. 900
and only 10000 Of them are civ
ilized. In the entire Republic
there is not TO be found a public
school. All the work in education
done among them is done by the
Mission Schools. 1t seems that they
have not yet awakened to the i'm
portancc Of this part Of their de-
vclopment. l am encouraged, for
the people received me very cor
daily and seem willing to be help
ed. l am here for for no other pur-
pose than TO help and inspire a
backward people.
The preachers and workers are
very poorly paid. Ninety per cent
OF them get less than 500 per year.
appreciate vour interest in nc
and the work | am striving to do
for the Christ. am ambitious to
see His Kingdom prospecting among

me that our Heavenly Father will

MARKET CONDITIONS
DULL IN OKLAHOMA,
SAYS VISITOR HERE

Dull marketing conditions for farm
products are not confined to Wayne
county. according to the testimony of
f. G. Markley, who is visiting his rel
atives in Richmond.
Markley operates his fathers 100
acre farm near Dacoma, Okla. Eve

good crop this year but we couldn't
sell it. We couldn't get cars in which
to ship it-until the price dropped.
Then there were plenty. At thresh-

stopped the machine. The next day

the wet weather to haul my grain.

vator man stopped me, refusing to
take any more After that there were
no more sales for six weeks, while the
price dropped steadily. After the price
was down to below $500, cars began
to come in, but by that time we were
holding instead of selling
AIege Car Holding.
Deliberate holding of cars by the
railroads was the charge made by
Markley. There were trains of 100
cars standing on sidings right in
threshing time" he said. MY
neighbors used to take the train and
go down to places 100 or $50 miles
away just to see the empty cars. Rail-

cation, they would not have been able
to start with the work.
Mr.. Fess said that the government
did not provide for such a situation
in that general rehabilitation act for
1t had not been foreseen. The act
provided, however, that the vocational
board could receive loans and dona-
tlons for such a purpose. He said
that the Elks had advanced 5000, 200
in loans to former service men who
had entered vocational training.
1t is expected that a separate bill
making an appropriation for loans to
needy former service men who desire
to take vocational training, will be
introduced, the loans to be repaid to
the government by monthly deductions
from compensation payments.
Representatives OF manufacturing
and producing interests of the country
are beginning to assemble in Wash.
ington and from now on until the mid.
die of February, hotels and the COM
mittee rooms and the corridors of the
capitol will be thronged with men con-
cerned with the making of the new
tariff law by the next congress. Tariff
hearings will commence today before
the ways and means committee, SEIZED
ules for oils, paints and chemicals be-
ing discussed.
To Protect Industries.
The purpose of the bill to be pre-.
pared, after all the facts are elected
is to enact tariff which will protect
American industries, foster them and
provide employment for labor at
wages commensurate with the Amer
lean standard of living. The tariff
makers state that this will be a good
time to try out the efficacy of the tar.
iff commission and prove or refute
the arguments made for and against
it's worth at the time it was created
Men in congress differed then, and do
yet, as to it's value and now is declared
to be the time for showdown
The traffic commission is known to
have busted itself since the war gath
ering information from all hitherto
great manufacturing countries as well
as collecting statistics of home pro.
duction. These facts are expected to
be of value to the ways and means
committee in "checking up" the state
ments of witnesses urging their case
before the committee, who may natur.
ally be expected to make the most
telling arguments possible in behalf
of their own particular industries and
their need for protection.
Perhaps for the first time Mr. Ulti-
mate Consumer will have something
to say in regard to the framing of a
tariff bill, which is to be introduced
at the extra session. Hitherto the
manufacturer, labor and the farmer
have been the interests consulted in
the making of tariff laws. They will
be consulted this time, but so will

vored the handling of the fertilizers
by the local cooperative elevators
where they were established, and 1t
was decided to invite the officials
and managers of the cooperative ele-
vators to meet, Monday at / p. m. at
Greensboro with the board of directors
to perfect details.
Some doubt had been expressed and
in some instances, strong objections,
as to the advisability of giving defin-
ite order for fertilizer before the price
was known. This point was cleared
up by paragraph in the letter from
the state office. -
I'VE are not advising that you pur-
chase either of the above commodities
at the present prices, but we do ad-
wise that you get them to proceed to
make the above pools and be ready to
transact business whenever the prices
meet the approval of their committee"
Name Is Changed.
BY unanimous action of the board
the name of the county organization
was changed from Association to
Bureau" to be in conformity with
other counties of the state. "Associa-
ton" was felt to be too indefinite a
term while bureau" means "a place
1Of geLIlNS uOuc.
The policy of continuing to pay the
expenses of necessary speakers for
townships from county funds was ap-
proved: and the mileage payment of
10 cents a mile to directors for at
tending board meetings was contin-
ued, but payments were arranged to
be made in a lump sum at the annual
meeting.
Upon the question of farmer repre-
sentation upon the tax equalization
board, the directors expressed them
selves we'll satisfied with the policy
Of last year, and Isaac Wilson was
named as a committee of one to con-
suit with Judge Bond concerning this
years representation.
Plans for circulating monthly news
letter to the membership, telling OF
the work of the bureau; starting up
pig clubs, purchasing of smut-treating
machinery, were mentioned. but no
action was taken. Concerning the
smut-treating outfit, Davis said, we
have a loss of at least one or two
per cent in every field and our saw
ing from treating the seed would be
several thousand dollars a year"
Hire Office Help.
An appropriation was voted for hir-
ing an office assistant to do clerical
work and give the agent more time in
the field.
In answer to an inquiry from mem
Der as to whether there were enough
farmers on the Richmond Chamber
of Commerce to entitle them to a di-
rectorship, Davis replied that there
are now 10 members, while only 10
are required for representation. Mr.,
Davis also mentioned the corn show,
the first activity of the new cham
Der, stating that a man had been in
vited from Purdue. Mr.. Davis said he
had requested that a state federation
man also be given a place on the
program.
Mr.. Davis reported generally help
full and favorable attitude toward
farming among che chamber members.

meetings of the committees promot-
ing the corn show and agricultural in

Richmond will have accomplished
something worth while. and the Cham

the publicity committee. and Walter
B. Fulghum. chairman of the arrange
ments committee. will speak at the

MARKETING SERVICE, COOPERATIVE PURCHASES
FARM PRESENTATION, DISCUSSED WEDNESDAY

Discussion of the new federated
marketing service occupied the atten-
ton of the directors of the Wayne
County Farmers association during a
large part of the quarterly meeting at
the courthouse Wednesday.
letter from the state offices was
read explaining the plan and asking
that organization of the communities
be completed Immediately. Coal. feed,
tankage, and fertilizers are to be ham
died and plans have been made to pool
orders for fertilizers at once. The
state plan is to have a county COM
mittee appointed to work in conjunc-
ton with a local committee of three
members in each community. One of
the members is to be representative
of the cooperative elevator, when
there is one.
