Senate Begins Drive to Slash
Agricultural Product Tariffs
Is Per Cent.
WOULD AID THE FARMER
Much Of Depression In Corn Belt Sec
ton is Laid Is Excessive Freight
charges.-Iowa Corn Sold For
Less than Cost, Says Kenyon.

Washington-Western interests rep
resented in the Senate have started a
determined fight to reduce railroad
rates on agricultural products in con-
nection with the railroad funding bill.
The so-called agricultural bloc" has
taken up the matter, and will hold a
meeting to determine what action shall
be taken. Although no decision has
been reached, the general sentiment
favors action in connection with. the
railroad funding bill which President
Harding desires passed as promptly as
possible.
Hlnted In Resolution.
A hint Of what may be done is con-
tanned in a resolution introduced in the
House by representative Dowell,
Iowa. a 5l @
This resolution directs the Inter
state Commerce commission to cut
rates on agricultural products, live
stock and coal Is per cent and it is
anticipated that the resolution may be
supported by the agricultural bloc in
the Senate as rider to the railroad
bill, providing that the bill shall not
become effective until the rates are re-.
duced.
It is realized that the "bloc" might
form an alliance which would make it
extremely embarrassing to administra.
ton leaders, as large element among
the Democrats are planning to oppose
the railroad bill irrespective Of its re.
lationship to reduced freight rates.
Rates Too High.
Senators from agricultural states
have been receiving additional reports
of distress in the corn belt section.
Much Of this depression is based on ex.
cessive freight rates.
Farmers in my state" said Senate,
Kenyon of Iowa, "have been compelled
to sell their corn for rs cents bushe]
when it cost them so cents to raise It
The total of defaulted notes In
some parts Of Iowa during the past
few days has been enormous"
The meeting will discuss othe,
measures Of farmers relief. The co
operative marketing bill and the bill
to place representatives Of agriculture
on the Federal Reserve board will be
| among them.

STRONGHOLD CROSS
PROGRAM IN
NO. DAKOTA
Great Community Endeavor in
Public Health Nursing, and
for Ex-SoIdiers Shown.

The 40,053 members Of the Red
Gross in North Dakota are bringing
the many departments Of Red Cross
activity in the state to the people in
the rural communities as we'll as the
Ecities Since the present program of
the organization is especially well
adapted to sparsely settled communi.
ties, 1t is meeting constantly increas-
ing need.
During the past year total of
1921 ex-service men have been
served by the So chapters here in
North Dakota. Many of these men
had families whose problems Of liv-
Ing while their breadwinners were
undergoing hospital treatment or vo-
cational training required the atten-
ton and help Of trained worker.
That a total of $4,000 was expend-
ed by chapters in this state for work
among ex-service men this year shows
the extent and need for this service.
In addition 70 this soldier work a
strong nursing program has been pre-
sented in various parts Of the state.
Glasses in Home Hygiene to the num-
Der Of 115 were held by Red Cross
Instructors and Public Health nurses
during the past year. There are 288
Red Cross nurses enrolled from the
state. Within the past year 80 Pub
lie Health nurses have been employed
by chapters.
One Of the important phases Of
Red Cross work has been the aid ex-
tended drought sufferers in the Sec
tons Of the state where the need has
been great. Funds from national head
quarters have been used in addition
to those Of the local chapters In carry
ing on this work.
While this has been confined to the
communities where drought has pre-
vailed, the good work which the Red
Cross has accomplished has been APP
preclated throughout the state. While
crops have proved abundant In sew
eral Of these localities there Is still
some work to be accomplished.
The strong health program Of the
Red Cross through its stimulation OF
classes in First Aid, Nutrition, Life
Saving, as well as Home Nursing. is
proving valuable health guide. Pre-
vention Of illness, contagion and acct
dents has place In every community.
This instruction is among the many
projects which the Red Cross hopes
to expand in North Dakota.
To this end, the fifth annual Roll
gives every person an opportunity ia
renew Red Cross membership for the
coming year. This will enable each
Of the 50 chapters to discharge their
community obligations and expand
their service. Every membership dol.
lur is an investment in community
/. welfare work as well as relief &C
tivities locally and nationally.
