SOLEMN CEREMONIAL
FOR ARM|sT|CE DAY
NATIONWIDE TRIBUTE PLANNED
AND ARMS LIMITATION.

Washington, d. c., Sept. pa
solemn ceremonial to voice at once
the nations gratitude to the soldier
dead and it's hope of deliverance from
heavy armaments will be observed
from coast to coast on Armistice day
under the leadership of President
Harding and officials of his admins
tration.
The first meeting of the armament
conference, called for that day, is to
be confined to brief formalities, leav-
ing delegates free to join with the
president in the central ceremony at
Arlington Nation cemetery.
On November IL the real work of
the conference will begin. Plans for
the observance are expected to i'm
clude a nationwide demonstration
for the limitation of armament by
organized labor, praper services in
many churches, special meetings of
women's organizations and ceremon-
les by civic, industrial and political
bodies generally. 1t is probable that
a presidential proclamation will sci
the day aside as a national holiday.
Members of the foreign delegations
may be asked to speak briefly at the
Arlington ceremonies, where the
president will make the principal ad-
dress and Gen. Pershing will lay q
wreath on the grave of the unknown
soldier to be buried there.
Bp such nobservance officials are
said to believe they can preclude the
possibility that the tribute to the sol
dier dead will be overshadowed in the
public mind by the conference, ano
at the same time give the nation ar
opportunity to speak its sentiments
for armament reduction. The plar
J is said to have been devised by the
president because he felt that the
tributes to those who gave their liv'
es in the world war might well bt
mingled with a prayer for closer
! international understanding.
In his Arlington address Mr.. Hard
ing is expected to touch on this con
viction, although any definite declar
alton of the purposes and hopes o.
the armament negotiations will b'
reserved TO rthe following day, wheI
he will welcome the delegates.

BRAND RUMORs
WHOLLY FALSE
REPORT OF FAILURE FARMERS
FINANCE CORPORATION OFFI-
CIALLY SHOWN TO BE UN-
TRUE.

Huron, Sept ga rumor which
has been circulated in this part of
the wtst that the farmers finance
corporation of the U. s. Grain Grow
ers, Inc, has failed is branded as alb
surd bp j. r. Howard, president of
the American Farm Bureau fedora
tion The fact is that the farmers
finance corporation has not yet start
ed to do business and that none of
it's preferred stock, from which the
800, ,OOO,0 900 i'm capital would be de-
rived, has been offered for sale.
Mr.. Howard said: "The farmers
finance corporation of the u. S. Grain
Growers, Inc, has not failed Rum
ors to that effect are based on misin-
formation.
"This farmers finance corpora
tion was a part of the plan of the
farmers grain marketing committee
of II and its provisions included a
500, 100000, under the direction of
the board of directors of the U. S.
Grain Growers. The plan was care
fully worked out with the aid of
some of the financial experts in the
United States.
when the details were submitted
| to farm organizations generally, and
had been carefully digested, the con-
sensus of opinion was that it would
be better to have one general farm
ers' finance corporation handling all
commodities than to have separate
corporations for different commodi-
ties.
| "This being true it seemed desir-
able to the official representatives
of the stat efarm bureaus of the mid
die west group to recommend that
the plans of the farmers finance cor
poration be reorganized. to provide
for a directorate which should in
clude representatives of the produc-
ers of all farm commodities, and that
since state finance corporations for
the purpose of doing this within state
limits had already been started in al
least two states, that the state plar
be given careful consideration.
"In view of this action no stock o1
i the farmers finance corporation has
been offered for sale, and nothing
has been done further than to elec1
officers. The enactment of the agri
cultural relief amendment to the wal
finance corporation act has relieved
farmers of the necessity for the inn
mediate action which otherwis'
would have been imperative. Thi
will afford ample time for the recon
sideration of plans. There has beer
no back step regarding the financia
program of the u. S. Grain Grow
ers."
