WASHINGTON, D. C.-Many
thousand of farmers in the corn belt
will be saved from threatening bank
ruptcy under plans now being made

nance the storing of corn on a large
scale, Eugene Myer, jr9 director, an
nounced today.
This aid is to be extended farmers
in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana
and Illinois.
According to tentative plans ware
houses are to be erected along the
rights of way of railroads in these
states and corn is to be cribbed. Local
banks, backed by the war finance cor
poration. will extend financial assist
ance 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 a bushel, Meyer
said. These prices are the lowest IN
rs years.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE
SOON DUE FOR RISE
MONEY CONDITIONS OF THE
COUNTRY REPORTED AS RAP
IDLY BECOMING EASIER.
DISCOUNT RATES REDUCED
Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness
Are Oversubscribed. Developments
Of Reaching Importance in the
Money Market Are Seen.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Liberty
bonds are due for a rise upward nearer
parity as a result of government financ-
ing and other developments in money
markets of far-reaching importance
Money conditions are rapidly becom-
ing easier. Easing credit conditions IN
ali parts of the country has forced an.
other slash at the rediscount rates OF
the federal reserve banks.
In eight of the reserve banks low
cred rates have gone into effect. a
drop of one-half of one per cent being
made at New York, Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Richmond and Atlanta, and
a drop of one per cent at the reserve
banks at Chicago, St. Louis and Kan
sas City.
Further drops in rediscount rates in
other reserve bank districts may be eX-
pected before long. The best example
of the easier credit situation and avail
ability of funds for investment is the
treasury's records revealing that sub
scriptions of the last offering OF treas
urv certificates of indebtedness eX-
ceeded by $6OO,0O0,000 the amount OF
$2OO0O0000 offered to the public.

WAR
ON FREIGHT YEGGS
TOIN TOGETHER TO FIGHT
DARING "RATTLERS." LOOT
RUNS INTO MILLIONS.

Not long ago there was held IN
New York CITY a conference OF rail
road chiefs. called together to plan a
war on freight car burglars. In the
last few wears, it is said, the compa-
mics have suffered constantly mount
ing losses. aggregating hundreds OF
millions Of dollars in a single year
For example, the known pillage OF the
railroads in Hudson county, n. y,
across the river from New York city,
has been $35,000000 in the last 80
months.
The nationwide thefts have not
been reliably computed, but judging
from the depredations against certain
individual companies it cannot be short
of S2O0,OOO,O0O year At any rate, it
has been great enough to alarm the
railroads and drive them into forming
an association for mutual protection
Work With Confederates.
The business of robbing freight
trains has been highly organized, and
the RATHER" as he is called, must have
one or more confederates. He usually
secures first a good fence" to dispose
of the stolen property. Then he must
have some one on the ground to pick
I'D the plumber as he throws it from
the car to the ground and, finally, he
always tries to secure some corrupt
railroad employee who will tip him OFT
as to which cars are carrying the most
valuable freight.
The freight yeggman then boards
the train. fastens rope ladder to the
top of the car to be robbed, drops down
over the door, forces the seal and en-
ters the car, throwing out the loot at
a designated place, where his conted-
crate is waiting for him. He then
climbs out, re-seals the car, pick, up
his ladder and drops off at the first
stop.

Dinner Stories

A man in a western town was hurt
in a railroad accident, and after being
confined to his home for several weeks
he appeared on the street walking with
the aid of crutches..
Hello, old fellow" greeted an &C
quaintance, rushing up to shake his
hand. "I am certainly glad to see you
around again."
Thanks" responded the injured
one. IT am glad to be around again"
ST see you are hanging fast to your
crutches," observed the acquaintance.
Cant you do without them?"
my doctor says I can" answered
the injured party. but my lawyer says
can't"
A young fellow who was the crack
sprinter of his town-somewhere in
the south-was unfortunate enough
to have dilatory laundress.
One evening as he was out for prac-
tice run in his rather airy and abbre-
waited track costume, he CHANGED to
dash past the house of that dusky
lady, who at the time was a couple OF
weeks in arrears with his washing.
He had scarcely reached home again
when the bell rang furiously and an
excited voice was waited in from the
porch:
"Foh de Lawds sake, won't you all
tell Marse Bob please not to go out no
mob till kin git his clo'es round to
him."

JUST FOLKS
LITTLE BY LITTLE.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

LITTLE BY LITTLE.
Little by little we build our lives, little
by little we move along.
Here the touch Of a care survives, there Is
the tilt of A bit of song;
Here we blundered and spoiled the plan.
there we proved that our work was
good.
For spite of the grief and the tears which
ran, our faith was true and the tenn
pie stood.
Faith il the roof which shelters all, and
r hope the glass where the sun comes
thru.
Love is the mortar which holds the wall,
and joy the promise Of all we do;
A touch of beauty the structure needs, for
desolate would our labor be
Without the roses of kindly deeds for the
weary passer-by to see.
Little by little our lives we build. First
the fountain of youth appears,
Then with joys are the corners filled, then
come dangers and griefs and fears;
Care besets US and days of woe seem to
BATTLE and blind us all.
But, however the storms of life may blow,
the roof of our faith must never fail.
Brave the sorrows and bear the pain, build
in beauty and strength and truth.
Never a good deeds done in vain! Age
still treasures the joys Of youth.
The storms pass by and the cares depart
but always something of worth sur
wives,
To live life well is the truest art as little
by little we build our lives.

THE FORDNEY BILL.

The Fordney tariff bill which start
ed out under clear skies and favorable
winds appears to have encountered
adverse weather conditions before
proceeding far on its voyage.
Thoughtful statesmen having eyes for
the welfare of the entire country
rather than for certain classes of cit
liens realize that a tariff is a two
edged sword.
America needs foreign markets. We
cannot hope to sell the largest pos
sible amount of products or merchan-
disc to foreign countries unless it is
made feasible for foreign countries to
ship goods to US. The higher we raise
our tariff, the more will imports
and, in the long run, exports-be dis
| couraged. Not only so, but If we set
the world an example in the fixing of
| dizzy tariffs, we must expect the
world to follow. Canada Considers
Tariff Retaliation: Reapplication of
ia Per Cent War Duty or Increase in
British Preference Are Mentioned -
reads a newspaper headline. Then, if
unscalable barriers be raised against
the landing of foreign products in this
country, how can our foreign debtors
ever pay us the dozen billions and
more they owe us?
Americans have invested more than
a billion dollars in Canada since the
close of the war. The income from
these investments is estimated at ap-
proximately $75.Oo0,O0o annually.
| While hasty legislation may be
needful in the interests of dyemakers
and a few others, no general tariff
action should be undertaken until
after the most profound elaboration
The trend should be toward freer
trade, not toward more and higher
trade barriers.
