Two hundred and seventy million
bushelsof lastyear's corr crop are still
annarketed, and it is estimated that
the corn crop now being harvested
VIII aggregate 5000 million bushels.
For the new eorn to be forced on the
market while the old crop is not all
sold would be ruinous to farmers.
The government aid will be extend
ed through the local banks. Farmers
will be able to borrow with their corn
as security and thus they will not be
forced to liquidate present obligations.
The banks will cooperate in this ar
rangement. Where banks fail to co.
operate, plans have been made for the
loans to be extended through other
agencies. The knowledge that the adj
ninistration is deeply interested
should be heartening to the corr grow
ers."

WILLING
TO CUT ARMY
TO 100000

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The War
Finance Corporation will finance the
corn growers of Kansas and the other
corn belt states to the limit, to permit
them to hold their corn rather than
dump it on a market now badly broken
because Of the excess crop.
Il think the extension of this finan-
cial aid, making it unnecessary for
farmers to sell corn while the present
low prices prevail, will represent a
saving to those Of the seven corr belt
states of at least u billion dollars"
said Governor McCray of Indiana.

THE parents of the North Central
school at their recent meeting passed
some sensible and worthwhile resolu-
tons regarding school entertainments
and student dress. This latter is es-
peciaIly worthy Of notice at this time.
Some school girls wear attire to school
gheir mothers would have been glad
enough to have possessed for Sunday
and party wear The extreme short
skirts, sheer silk hose and ultra-thin
waists as well as the rouge pot and
sip-stick can be done away with for
fhs good of all. The Ledger is glad
to SEE this movement for sem
nfbEe dress among students taken

Senator Reed and other Wilsonian
enemies are properly handled s. they
may receive some modicum of credit
for the move and some one man, say
the president, isn't given full credit
for the idea. However, in the final
analysis, if such a move is made, and
personally we have felt it must be if
the present gathering is to have per-
manent benefits, the public will credit

VIZ saw Tony Sarg's marionette's
at Hardin College the other night and
the spectacle recalled to us many pol

have responded promptly to the
strings which manipulated them clev-

They were men who posed in a pom
derous fashion as thinkers but whose
thoughts were merely the reflection OF

pork and under the guidance of those

THE need for the much discussed
