WOODF|LL RELATES
EXPLOIT TO HARDING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Sergeant
Samuel Woodf1ll today told President
Harding how he killed 10 Germans
in little more than an hour in the
Argonne offensive. The sergeant was
introduced to President Harding by
Senator Ernst, Kentucky.
WOODFILL is DESCENDANT
OF PIONEER INDIANIANS
MADISON, Ind, Nov. 4.-Sergeant
Samuel Woodf1ll. designated as repre-
sentative of the infantry of the
United States army at the burial of
the unknown" soldier in Arlington
cemetery November IL, is the descen-
dant Of Jefferson county pioneers.
These, during the earaly years of the
nineteenth century, formed a home
in the wilderness north of the Ohio
river, which later was to be Jefferson
county. :"
Samuel, who is about forty two
years old, was born in Monroe town
ship and is the son of Samuel and
Christian Woodfill His mothers
maiden name was Custer.
He attended the common school
near his country home, and, accord
ing to cousins, who still live near
Belleview, was neither particularly
good nor particularly brilliant" AS
a young man he developed liking
for the army and enlisted in the reg
ular army at Louisville. His father
died soon afterward, and his mother
within the last year.
AS a private soldier, Woodfill saw
service in Alaska and the Philip
pines, where, according to his own
story, his favorite recreation was
hunting ''big game"
"And in France stalked Germans
the same way. I stalked the big
game in the islands and bears in
Alaska" WoodfiIl remarked during a
visit here recently.
Woodfill reached the rank of cap
tain during the war, but was dis
charged in 1919 during the reorgan-
lzatlon OF the army. He re-enllsted
immediately as a sergeant. Efforts
have been on foot here during the
last six months to have him read
vanced to a captaincy. Business men
of Madison and the county have en-
listed the cooperation of Senator
Harry S. New, whose grandparents
lived in the same community with
the Woodfills, before the News
moved to North Vernon about 1850.
Sergeant Woodfill was married at
Fort Thomas, KY, some time ago.
"He is proclaimed hero" said his
wife last night. "He is a model hus-
band and he isn't afraid to wash
dishes, either"
Woodfill was a first lieutenant of
the Sixtieth infantry on October -,
1918, when he went out ahead of his
first line with two privates to take a
German machine gun nest. -Four
of the enemy attacked him and he
killed three at ten yards and fin
ished the fourth in hand-to-hand
fight. He rushed a second nest, 81
fenced the gun, shot several Ger
mans and took three prisoners. At
lacking a third machine gun posi-
ton, he killed five men with his rifle
and, failing to finish two resisting
gunners with his revolver, killed
them with a pick.
For his heroism Woodflll was pro-
NOTED to a cantaincy and he received
the medal of honor and two French
decorations. He has also been dec
grated by other allied nations.

WATERMELON GROWERS
PROFIT BY COOPERATION
j. 6. To ADVANCE
CORN CROP FUND;
SOUTH MAY PROFIT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Many
thousands of farmers in the corn
belt will be saved from threatening
bankruptcy under plans now being
made by the war finance corpora
ton to finance the storing Of corn
on a large scale, Eugene Meyer, Jr.,
director, announced today.
This aid is to be extended farm
ers in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, In
diana and Illinois.
According to tentative plans, ware
houses are to be erected along the
right of way of railroads in these
states and corn is to be cribbed.
Local banks, backed by the war fl.
nance corporation, will extend finan-
cial assistance to farmers who find
it necessary to store their corn in
these warehouses until such time as
they find a market.
Corn is now selling at from 20
cents to % and 80 cents buShel,
Mr.. Meyer said. These prices are
the lowest in rs years.
About the first of this year there
was a surplus of 700,000,000 bushels
of corn on farms. This surplus
combined with estimate of 3,1e3,0 O0,-
900 bushels for 1921 crop by the
department of agriculture makes the
supply the largest in the history of
the country.
Mr.. Meyer said that a personal in
vestigation of conditions in the corn
belt leads him to believe that I'M
less aid is extended tens Of thou
sands Of farmers will go bankrupt.
Mr.. Meyer said he will appoint a
committee to develop plans for ware
housing all the cribbed surplus corn,
thus carrying over the farmers un'
til such time as a ready market is
found for the product.

RESPOND TO REDUCTION
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Sentiment
in financial circles was perceptibly
heartened today by the lower re.
discount rates announced by a ma
jority of the federal reserve banks
aud concurrent action Of the Bank of
England.
Especial interest attached to the
fact that reserve banks at principal
agricultural and cotton centers were
enable to reduce their money rates.
This was accepted as proof that ex-
tensive liquidation of grain and cot
ton loans made in the last year had
been effected. thereby releasing enor
nous sums of money long tied up
in frozen credits.
The local money market also
showed further ease. Call loans
dropped from to 4 IL per cent on
the stock exchange long before noon
and private loans at 4 per cent
were reported.
Stocks and bonds were strong, the
latter displaying relatively more &C.
tivity than shares. New high records
for the year marked the heavy buy
ing of Liberty second, third and
fourth A Ids and Victory 34s, the
latter selling at par.

only moderately in the broad inquiry,
being superseded by speculative in
dustrials and specialties. Oils led in
point of activity, most Of the domes-
tic and foreign issues showing gains
of 1 to 8 points.
Equipments, secondary steels, mo-
