Washington, d. C.-Assembly of an
international congress of financiers at
Washington--possib coincident with
the disarmament conference in No.
vember-to discuss sterilization of
foreign exchange is under considera-
ton at the treasury, officials said.
No definite plans have, as yet, been
drawn, officials declared, but the idea
behind the proposed conference, is to
bring together the leading bankers
and financiers of the world in hopes
of evolving a program which, by re-
moving the uncertainties now result
ing from exchange fluctuations, would
pave the way for revival of COM
merce between the nations.
An appropriation by Congress would
be necessary to permit the holding of
such meeting, officials asserted, but,
they added, the expense would not be
great, especially if the financiers were
to meet at the time Of the disarma-
ment conference when many of the
worlds financial experts are expected
to be here
Sterilization of exchange rates has
been the subject of careful considera-
ton by various government agencies
during the past several months in view
of the ill-effect of varying rates upon
the country's foreign trades.
According to Secretary Hoover, the
uncertainties attending shifting ex-
change levels is one of the major diff
ficulties facing the recovery of the
country's commerce.,

The problem of having running
water in the house, as we'll as On the
farm, is one which farmers every
where are struggling to meet. The
county agent Of Cabarrus County, n.
c., employed by the United States
Department Of Agriculture and the
State agricultural college, was able to
persuade one Of his demonstrators to
dig out basin on the side of hill
near his house and line it with cement
instead Of building tower. The ele-
walton was about 20 feet above the
top of his house, which gave sufficient
pressure. The outlay for placing water
in both his and his brother 8 house was
$500. The basin holds about 1900 gal
Ions and keeps the water at more uni
form temperature than would tank
in a tower, which would have cost
twice as much. -

SAYS GRAIN RATES
| EAT up PROFITS
Farmers Would Lose Money Ev-
en- With Production at 1914
Costs, Witness Says.
MINNESoTAN TEST|F|ES
F. w. Peck, Director Of AGRICULTURAL
Extension at University Of Mime
sofa Gave Graphic Picture of
Farm Conditions in State.

Washington-Freight rates on car
load of corn from a Nebraska farm to
Omaha payable in 1914 by the sale of
11S bushels, now costs the market
price Of 392 bushels, J. W. Shorthill,
secretary of the Farmers National
Grain Dealers association, told the in
terstate commerce commission at
hearings on grain freight rates.
Farmers in II states, Mr.. Shorthill
said, had effected savings amounting
to cents bushel in handling grain
through cooperative elevators and
market systems, but recent freight
rate increases had more than wiped
it out. Even if grain could be pro-
duced at 1914 costs, he added, farm
ers would lose money at present
freight rates and prices.
Corn costing SIS cents a bushel to
produce on 1914 cost basis, sells for
46 cents in Omaha, the farmer getting
about 80 cents after handling and
transportation charges are paid, he
said.
Minnesota Conditions Told.
Under present marketing and trans
portation conditions the Minnesota
farmer, who works from "sun to sum-"
is earning Is cents an hour. From
this sum he must pay taxes and in
terest on the mortgage.
F, w. Peck, director of agricultural
extension at the University of Mime
sofa, gave this information in a
~ @f IN
Minnesota to the commission. A re-
duction in freight rates, Mr.. Peck
told the commission, will go long
way toward increasing the earning
power of the farmer.
Effect of Cut Told.
For instance, Mr. Peck said re-
duction of cents in the freight rate
on wheat will increase his Is cents
an hour by % per cent; Of cents by
80 per cent, and of cents by 81 per
cent. On oats the farmer will profit
more by freight reductions. A cent de-
crease will mean an advance in the
Is cents an hour of 38 per cent; 4
cents, an increase of SO per cent, and
cents an increase of "a per cent.
The corn growers would get 30
per cent increase in wages if the rate
were reduced 3 cents; 40 per cent for
4 cent reduction and 40 per cent if
the reduction were 5 cents.
A reduction of a dollar ton on hay
would mean an increase of 40 per cent
on the hourly return of the grower and
81 decrease would mean an so per
cent advance to him.
Figures Challenged.
Mr.. Peck's figures were challenged
by railroad attorneys, but their cross
examination failed to break down his
figures.
Cost production figures were pre-
sented to the commission by Mr.. Peck
to show that the farmer is producing
at loss.

PROTECT Home BREWER
Amendment to Wi||is-Campbe||
Beer Bill Approved by House.
mo Search Warrant Will Be Issued
Unless Sale Is Suspected"
Is New Proposal.

Washington-Anyh householder could
have his own home brew under inter-
pretations placed upon an amendment
to the Willis-Campbell beer bill ap-
proved by the House.
The amendment would require fed
eral agents to have warrants before
entering homes in search of liquor.
It provides, however, that no warrant
shall be issued for search Of home
unless there is reason to believe such
dwelling is used as a place in which
liquor is manufactured for sale, or
Sold"
Representative Fields, Democrat,
Kentucky, declaring that the House
amendment would virtually sanction
'home BREW" provided it was not
made to be sold, attempted to have the
words "for sale" stricken out, but his
motion was rejected So to 81.
Representative Volstead, Republican,
Minnesota, author of the original pro-
hibiitOn act, favored the House substi-
tute as adopted. He declared later it
would not change the policy of the
prohibition enforcement bureau in re-
ference to home brewing. No attempt
of late has been made on orders from
Washington, he said, to prohibit the
home manufacture Of potent beverages
for personal use.
1.-THE section we put in the bill pro-
vides that the law is to be enforced as
we intended when we passed the pro.
hibition act,' said Mr.. Volstead.
while it expressly stipulates that
no home are to be searched without
warrant, and then only if the liquor
made is being sold, federal officers can
get evidence in other ways as to
whether the law is being violated. The
section Of the original act prohibiting
the manufacture Of liquor with alco
holic content of more than one-half OF
per cent is still in force"
Search Of homes without warrants

Geneva-Settlemen of the Upper
Silesian problem, which has been en-
trusted to the League OF Nations, is
regarded in League circles as the most
important question with which that
body has yet been faced. It is feared
that a solution will be prolonged as a
great mass Of documents must be ex-:
amined and the experts must be heard.
From the moral viewpoint, the fact
that the perplexing problem has been
referred to the League Of Nations is
deemed as adding considerably to the
leagues prestige. q
