OPPOSE SUGGESTIONS
TO STABILIZE VALUE
OF ENGLISH POUND
fRy Associated Pressl

LONDON, Dec. 9.-Suggestions ad-
vaneed by certain economic theorists
TO stabilize the value of the English
pound, at say Is shillings gold, thereby
reducing the American exchange from
1886 to a new parity of 1855 to the
pound and creating a gold premium
of 80 per cent, do not meet with the
approval of practical British bankers.
Sir Charles Adds, president of the
Institute of Bankers, in an inaugural
address TO that bode, made strong
plea for continued efforts to restore
the gold standard.
He said that return to pre-war
parity could not be accomplished I'M
less new and unexpected initiation
should take place in America, without
a considerable amount of farther de
flation in Great Britain.
Devaluation proposals, he declared,
were premature, inopportune and i'll
expedient He refused to believe that
the British people could be induced
to trample on their monetary past and
to relinquish the dearly purchased
gold standard, which they believed IL
be bound up with the prestige OF then
NATIONAL credit and their supremacy
in international finance

Buffalo prices are fully 26 cents per
bushel higher than Omaha quotations,
on exactly the same grade of corn.
There are hundreds of millions of
bushels of corn raised between Oma-
ha and Buffalo, and very little of the
corn grown west Of Omaha or Kansas
City is ever shipped direct to Buffalo;
but when it is it goes by rail TO Chi
cago and by lake to Buffalo, in the

Vaccinated His Chickens
We do not know the nature of the
serum used, nor have we as yet learn
ed the method of application, but here
is what John B. Stoll writes about it
| in the Indianapolis Star:
| From the U. r. Fishel poultry farm
| in Bartholomew county comes the
| statement that more than $500 fowls
| have been vaccinated as a preventive
| against disease, such as distemper
! colds and roup. Inasmuch as the poul
| try industry is receiving unusual at
! tention in various parts of the state
the FisheI method of guarding against
disease is the subject of earnest con
| sideration in both town and country
The vaccination of $500 chickens
| must have been some job and mighty
! few Of us would care to undertake it
Still, breeding birds bring fancy prices
| also their eggs. If vaccination insureE
| high priced flOcks against winter dis
eases, breeders may find it worth

In little 12-page folder setting
forth what the Indiana state farm bu-
reau has accomplished since its Or
ganization as a state unit in March,
1919, we find that the paid member
ship, at present, is 65,1 individual
members" This booklet was issued
prior to the November convention at
indianapolis, since which time num-
erous county drives have been planned
and several of these are now under
way.
As the membership" reported from
Indianapolis includes only the mem
bership rolls reported from the vari-
Gus counties, as evidenced BY remit
tances of 81 each, per year, we see
that the dues so far paid in at the
state headquarters, this year, figures
in excess of $4,000. The claim is
made that the entire 90 counties are
now organized, and that there are S73
township units in the federation fold
out of a total of 1,016 townships IN
| the state.
