York, New Haven & Hartford, who has
been out of railroad work For some
years, fills the vacancy left by Mr..
Parks retirement.
Other Representatives
On the original board G. w. w.
Hanger, member of the United States
Board of Mediation and Cancellation,
was the third representative of the
public. Mr.. Hanger has had wide ex-
perience in labor disputes and is IA
miliar with the machinery used by both
sides in presenting their arguments to
mediation board. He understands the
tricks of the trade intimately. His
decisions have shown sympathetic
tolerance of the labor point of view,
but desire to be fair to both sides
Henry Hunt, it is said, was largely
responsible for the form which the
sixteen principles took and for the fact
that the decision was made when it
was. He worked assiduously in draw
ing up the sixteen principles and was
anxious that they should be promul-
gated before his term of Office expired.
His experience has been political.
The three. men representing labor
were Albert Phillips, former vice-presi-
QcHt VI IHe OTOCnernOOQ OF Locomotive
Enginemen, and Firemen; J. ]. Forres-
ter and A. o. Wharton, a member of
the Railroad Employees Department
of the American Federation of Labor.
All three men are intimately familiar
with the details of the national agree
ments and with working conditions be-
fore and during government operation
of the railroads. Mr.. Phillips has the
reputation of being fair and keen and
with a better knowledge of railroad
employees conditions than any other
man on the board. Mr.. Wharton and
Mr.. Forester are railroad labor or
ganizers. 1t was Mr.. Forester who at
tempted to organize the steel industry
and who successfully opposed Judge
Gary. His strength lies in the fighting
qualities which are so often character
istic of labor leaders, and even among
labor leaders he is a radical.
The three railroad management rep
resentatives were W. L. Park, formerly
vice-president in charge of operation
of the Illinois Central; Horace Baker,
formerly general manager of the Gin
cinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific,
and j. H. Elliott, formerly general
manager and prior to that general su-'
perintendent Of the Texas e. Pacific.
Neither of these three men, however,
has been in active railroad service in

Circulating Medium
Referring to statements often made
that Argentina has an excessive cur
rency in proportion to it's population,
Mr.. Tornquist said that he consid
cred such statements misleading and
pointed out that the circulating me-
dunn of nation should be based on
the value of the national production
rather than on the number of inhab-
itants. Considering that before the
war, when the annual national produc-
ton reached 2,800,00OO0O paper pesos
Gone paper pesos equivalent to s0.4245
United States currency, q circulation
Of 823,000,000 paper pesos was not too
much; he pointed out that it would be
natural to conclude that to-day when
the national production exceeds $500
O00,O00 paper pesos, and when other
factors, such as the rise in prices and
the free circulation of Argentine paper
IN contiguous countries are taken into
consideration, the 1,360,O00,0OO paper
pesos now in circulation must be insult
ficlent to permit handling these prod
ucts with facility.
Excessive Gold Guaranty
Mr.; Tornquist also called attention
to what he considers the excessive
gold guaranty $50 per cent?, which
backs the circulating medium. To
relieve the situation further, he be-
lieves that the bank of the nation
should resort to rcdiscounting, es-
peclally in times of great need. such
as when the crops are moved. Private
DanKs 40 no rediscounting, and the
Bank Of the Nation naturally is lack.
ing in interest so long as it has a
surplus of cash. In conclusion. Mr.
Iornquist argues that if steps are not
taken to remedy these defects in
Argentina's fiscal system, the present
crisis may be aggravated by the mid.
die of the current year, and while il
can not be so serious as those of 1912
ana 1914, 1T can impede the prompt
recovery naturally expected in view
OF Argentina's favorable position dur.

Liberal Credit Policy

1t got so bad that it practically
forced the government to come to the
rescue. The Nippon Ginko--our cen
trail bank-was ordered to adopt the
most liberal attitude in extending
credit accommodations to various
banking institutions in trouble. Our
authorities followed the example of the
United States in first choking off the
speculative activities by the simple
process of denying credit accommoda-
tlons for almost all speculative pur-
poses whatever. But outside of that
and wherever possible, where healthy
business was suffering, the central
bank gave assistance. In May the gem

money stringency passed and the worst
was over. But the recovery has been
painful and tedious.
The year 1921 found financial and
industrial Japan still deep in the
slough of despond. AS in all other
countries of the world, it was our stock
market which brought the first raw of
better day. 1t came in the latter
part OF January; it was SO faint that
one could hardly recognize it, but it
was there. Money had been rather
easy for some time-largely because
business was so dead that it could not
use much of it. Call loans could be

England wheat is called corn.
In Scotland oats is often called

Strictly speaking corn is the

Note: Recent legislation has
given the word corn" another

The Quail a Friend of Man.

While you fight the chinch
bug, redouble your efforts to in
crease Bob-white quails, so
says Mr.. A. C. Burrill of the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
The quail eats from 500 to 1000
chinches at a meal, and their
stomachs crave another meal
every two hours. Quails are the
only wild bird which specializes
on chinch bugs in the winter
season.
To protect the Bob-white to
the best advantage a group Of
several farmers may co-operat-
lively publish a notice in the
county papers, forbidding hunt
ers to shoot quails on their
premises. This has been done
successfully in many Missouri
communities. Several county
papers already are running such
notices, properly drawn up and
kept standing in the paper thru
out the hunting season. In such
cases the publisher will add the
name of any farmer in the
county and keep it there for SO
cents (more or less, according
to local rates) for the season.
The quails fight your bug bat
tie for you, both winter and
summer.

What Is Corn?

The Missouri State Board of
Agriculture has often been call

of what is corn" This query
sounds foolish in Missouri or in
any other Corn Belt county, but
the facts are that the word
corn or its equivalent is and
has been used in every country
under the sun for thousands of
years, although corn" as we
use the word was not discover

House MOUe Said
to Embrace Plan
for Omnibus Bill

The House, which has been holding
night sessions In order to dispose of
the great accumulation of bills, has
abandoned that method and ap-
pointed a steering committee to pilot
through the more pressing matters as
the Assembly moves toward sine die
adjournment next Monday night.
The committee is composed of Rep
resentatives 0mer Z. Newman, Ma
riOn County; Lee L. OsbOra, La Porte
County; Ray V. Gibbons, Madison and
Upton counties; Ray c. Morgan,
Henry County, and Noble Malott,
Lawrence County.
1t is understood the naming of the
committee Is the fOrerunner of an
omnibus bill IL 1t is deemed neces-
sary at the last minute. The Rep
resentatives, however. have some fears
ms to the welcome an omnibus meas
ure might receive in the Senate, in
view of the declaration of Lieuten-
ant Governor Branch at the outset OF
the session that he would cOuntenance
no such moves.
