POSTMASTER IS WANTED
TeXarkana Folks Anxious to Know
 Who Is to Get Job.

Texarkana, Nov. 29-Local people are very much puzzled over the con- tinued delay in the naming of a post master at TeXarkana. The term Of Postmaster Patrick G. Henry expired September 29. It was expected that successor would be named within two or three weeks, but it is said the rivalry among candidates for the place has caused the delay. For a long time it seemed that the choice would lay between tCol. E. E. Huds- beth of the Arkansas side and ThOm- as Daley of the Texas side.
 Recently a strong dark horse has come to the front in w. A. Smith, cashier of a local bank. It is said that he has strong support among in fluential politicians at Washington
 Friends of Hudspeth and Daley con- tinue in the fight. Postmaster Henry is away on a 2O-day leave of absence, which will expire the last of this week He is said to be very anxious to be relieved as he has sold all his property and will move to California.

Co=Operation is Hope of
 Farmer, Sale Cost Cut

Cincinnati, Nov. 29.-Adaption of the banking machinery of the coun- try to the credit requirements of the farmer and reduction of freight rates on farm products were advocated as the most pressing needs of the agr1- cultural industry in an address here today by Representative Anderson, chairman of the joint congressional commission on agricultural inquiry commission on agricultural inquiry be- fore the fifth annual meeting of the National Milk Producers federation. Pointing to the farmers need of credit of a maturity corresponding to his annual turnover and his ability to pay. Representative Anderson said he favored permitting all existing fi- nancial institutions dealing directly with the public, including national and state banks, to make loans to farmers for periods of three months to six years.
 They should be able, he added, to rediscount the paper with the federal land banks or act as the direct agent of those banks in making the loan, the farm notes then to be used as a basis for issuance of short time debentures and also to rediscount for the land banks within six months maturity of ofb bor fo ponor
 The farmer not only needs an im- mediate downward revision of trans portation rates on his products, Rep resentative Anderson said. but also material reduction in other elements of the spread between the producer and the consumer prices, which he said. constitute half the latter price.
 The problem of distribution costs, he added, could not be solved by the farmer alone but require the CO., operation and understanding of all who enter as factors in distribution.
 Development Of sound cooperative methods by farmers, however, he be- lieved, could contribute much to the solution
