SAYS NATION IS ON
 ROAD ID RECOVERY
Governor Harding Optimistic After Visit to South and West-Bank- CTS See Trade Revival in
 Autumn.

Washington, June 2.--Conviction that the country has passed the most trying period of readjustment and is on the road to recovery, was ex- pressed tonight by Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board, upon completion of a two weeks survey of the agricultural and industrial sec tions of the middle West and South.
 MT. Harding travelled thru Illinois, Missouri, Kansas. oklahoma, Arkan- sas, Tennessee and Alabama, and de- tivity on the farms and an abundance of farm labor, with apparently every acre of land cultivated heretofore be- ing utilized this year.
 Summarizing his report of condi- tions made to the board, Governor Harding said:
 "The optimistic sentiment which prevailed everywhere was most grati- flying. The bankers and business men of these sections are looking for a trade revival in the autumn and seemed to have no doubt that there would be ample credit for both agri- cultural and trade requirements. The only exceptions were the livestock men l met in Topeka, who seemed anxious to obtain two or three-year loans either thru private agencies or thru the War Finance Corporation of the Federal Loan banks.
 "The trip confirmed my conviction that we in this country have now passed the most trying period of the worldwide readjustment of trade and prices and are on the road to recov- cry. We are approaching the new crop season with underlying condi- tions far sounder and more favorable than they were year ago and in spite of the unprecedented carry-over of cotton credit, the reserves of the Federal Reserve districts are nearly 40 per cent higher than they were year ago, which leaves no room for ap- prehension regarding the financing of either agriculture or industry. In- deed, with the recent easing of credit and with the Federal Reserve Board ready, as usual, to extend liberal credits to member banks for the legi- innate requirements of their custom CTS, bankers everywhere seemed dis posd to dismiss credit in the making of the new crop"

SWEET BILL WOULD SAVE --,-.-
ABOUT is MILLIONS YEARLY

Washington, July 19.-Enactment
Of the Sweet bill consolidating the
three government bureaus handling
ex-scldier affairs will save the ma
'tional budget $15,000,0O0 year in
overhead expenses according to eff
cheney experts on the government re-
organization committee here.
The bill, which has the strong
backing of the American Legion, has
passed the house Of representatives
and is on the calendar
of the senate with favorable COM
mittee report behind it.
American Legion leaders claim that
the bill when enacted will not only
save the government money through
the illumination of much work now
done in duplicate and triplicate but
that it will as we'll greatly simplify
the administration of relief for dis
aibled former service men and cut
out much of the red tape which has
hitherto rendered that relief inef-
fective. The proposed consolidation
fits in with the general scheme of
reorganization and will
receive the approval of President
Harding, who asked for it's passage.

PUREBRED SIREs HELP HERDS
Dairyman Cannot Expect to Obtain
improved Results From New
Bull in the First Year.

prepared by the Uaited States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The production of the dairy herds
of the future through the use Of proper
sires of high quality is subject that
is interesting dairy specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. There is ample evidence that
such bulls improve the production Of
their daughters, but it is difficult
matter even to estimate what the limit
In improvement in future generations
will be.
Figures compiled by the field man
Of the dairy division of the depart
ment who is encouraging bull associa-
tons in Maryland, show the improve
ment in production made by daugh-
tiers of purebred sires belonging to the
New Windsor Bull association, as COM
pared with their dams. The six daugh-
tiers of Repose's Washer gave an aver
age Of S,197 pounds of milk in year,
and 1928 pounds Of butterfat. The
average Of the dams of these young
cows was 6,7S2 pounds of milk and
266 pounds Of fat. The average in
crease, therefore, was 1,415 pounds of
milk and 60 pounds Of fat. An addi-
tional production of over 1,400 pounds
Of milk and 60 pounds Of fat is no
slight matter, the dairy specialists say.
The ages at which the daughters of
RepOse's Washer made their records
were three, four and five years, the
average being about four. when
farmers put in purebred bulls to re-
place scrubs or grades, they some
times have the feeling that the pres
ence of the new bull is charm which
will increase the production of the
herd right away" say the dairy spe-
cialists. '''This is not to be expected.

TOLD GEORGE NOT TO WORRY
English Labor Leader Cared Little for
That "Divinity That Doth
Hedge King"

Kings have no longer any ruling
power in a first-class nation. A little
incident in which the king Of England
figured last year may be told in con-
nection with the new spirit Of affairs.
The late Will Crooks, a labor member
of parliament, a cockney with a big
black beard and devoid Of aitches, q
sincere and much loved man, as re-
mote from highbrow socialists as from
hidebound conservatives, was among
the fashionable crowd Of guests at
the royal garden party.
The king got him into conversation.
Will Crooks talked as freely to his
monarch as he would to follower in
the East end of London. Both men
were soon deep in the troublous times
which were upon England. The king
plainly showed his anxiety about the
future. Will Crooks. who was the
most sympathetic soul in the world,
tried to reassure the king as they shook
hands in good-by:. 'Now, look here.
old chap; don't you go worrying about
things; everything is going to turn
out all right. old fellow"
There is cause for little specula-
ton in what must have been the men
tai attitude of, the mobiles and dignita-
ries clustered round as they observed
the familiarity. But what the king
thought of it is best expressed by the
fact that before. the next garden party
he and the queen together sent spe-
cial letter to Will Crooks and his
wife, saying how much they wanted
them to be present.-Frank Dilmat in

EDUCATION LAWS To0-Lo0sE
ChiIdren's Bureau Of United States
Department Of Labor Deplores
Some Exemptions Allowed.

Every state now has a compulsory
day school attendance law, according
to information recently furnished by
the United States Department of La
Dor through the children's bureau. The
bureau has just completed an analysis
Of education laws affecting child latOr,
the results of which are published in
chart entitled estate Compulsory
School Standards Affecting the EN-.
ployment of Minors"
In five states attendance Is required
until eighteen years Of age, in two
of these in certain districts only; In
three until seventeen; and in thirty
two until sixteen. One state requires
attendance until fifteen, six others and
the District Of Columbia until four
teen, and one state requires attendance
until the age of twelve years, but
applies this to illiterates only.
Unfortunately, says the bureau, the
exemptions in the majority of states
are so numerous that they greatly lin
it the application Of the law. The
most common exemptions are for en-
-ployment, or upon completion Of a
specified school grade. Four states
specifically exempt for work in agri-
cultural pursuits. three with no age pro-
vision. Laws of fourteen other states
contain loosely worded provisions ex-

are not themselves affected in their
nature or their milk-producing ability.
The influence of the bull is shown
only on his offspring.
1T takes about four years before the
first heifers from new bull finish
their first years test; and as they are
then only heifers. their mature moth
ers may still Guido them in produc-
ton. The thing to be considered is,
What character Of young cows are to
replace the old ones when the latter
are gone?
"rhis is the principle involved in
bringing in meritorious bulls-to make
the future cows better than the pres
ent. A dairyman should not expect
to see the good results from pure
bred bull in the first year, but wait
three to five years and then see how
much better his herd is. The dairy
man should look to the future and
plan now by using good purebred
bull to have better herd in from
three to five years. The question is,
When these years have passed will he
be where he was three to five years
: 'rlier or win he be better off? The
!se dairyman, who takes the right
curse now. will at that future time
find himself reaping the benefit"

DOLLAR SHOES INVENTED
(By United PreSs)

(By United Press)
Paris, July 19.-Shoesr at five francs
pair and they'll last forever.
If these days when pair of pre-war
American shoes costs $50 to $50
francs and when a Paris shoemaker
won't consider an order under $50
francs, the invention just announced
of a method of manufacturing foot
gear at five francs, with the added
advantage of the material can't
wear out, is exciting interest in
anti-HCL circles.
B 1t is due to a blind worker in a
factory near Lyons. He discovered
so the report goes, AK alloy which
permits him to make pair of shoes
weighing three and one-half ounces,
water and fire proof, as solid and
elegant as the finest product of the
American shoe factories and so
simply designed that child can put
the parts together
M. Paul Michel, the inventor, is
keeping the secret of the alloy to
himself.
