former president OF Princeton Uni
versity last night in the fourth OF a
series OF lectures he has been de-
livering in Westminster Presbyterian
Church every night this week.
Or. Patton said he disbelieved the
theory of evolution. but believed IN
personal immortality" The only
right goal 20 happiness is by per-
sonal holiness" he said.
"a man having found the King
dom OF God Will be sympathetic with
his fellowmen be they rich or poor.
said the speaker.
THE race is improving" he said
and used as a proof the League OF
Nations and the Armistioe Confer
ence.
"of course they were both disap-
polntments, but then everything Is
disappointing. nothing comes up 70
our hopes yet. The idea that either
one OF these two great movements
were attempted shows that the race
is improving" In discussing the
church's part in the regeneration OF
the world he said that there was
too much Indifference among the
people and too much preaching OF
current events from the pulpit.

The Kentucky Farm Bureau FEEDER

ton.
Through the cooperation Of the
market editors ~ the Lou svillc pa
pers the Louisville Board Of Trade
and Glenn Hewett. Of the Bingham
Grain Co., the system Of quoting
wheat prices was greatly improved.
Quotations were accurate and based
on prices on Chicago and ST. Louis
markets were on a much higher level
than has ever prevailed before in
Kentucky. As local millers quote
prices To farmers based on Louisville
quotations. this system added many
thousands Of dollars TO the bank ac.

Adequate markets for manufactur-

Among other needs. according to the
Farm Bureau, are more packing

These facts were stressed by the
Farm Bureau and some results are
materalized. The Emmart Packing

Bankers Approve


When Congress appropriated one
billion dollars 20 aid in financing
farmers. a committee Of five was APP
pointed to administer the funds for
Kentucky. OF these members. three
are Louisville bankers and the other
two are General +. ". Woods, Presi-
dent Of the Kentucky Farm Bureau
Federation, and VI. o. Hughes, a
member Of the State Farm Bureau
Executive Committee. The farmers
were. therefore, strongly represented.
The outstanding feature Of the
work 81 this committee was the adj
dress Of the Farm Bureau Finance
Committee Chairman John $. Cren-
shaw. before the meeting Of the Ken
lucky State Bankers Association at
Louisville. In his carefully prepared
address he proved the necessity Of
bankers taking the lead in encour-
aging. fostering and financing all pro-
gresslve agricultural movements, out
lined a definite county program Of
work and showed how all agricultural
activities should be handed thru the
County Farm Bureaus. The plan
was unanimously approved by the
entire group Of bankers by rising
vote and the address was printed in
form and distributed 70 the
banks OF the State.

Taxes Were Reduced

A careful investigation was made
Of the tax problem. Figures were
complied. that were sent 20 all Coun-
~ Bureaus and given wide publicity
in te press showing that farm lands
are assessed at a much higher rate
than other classes Of property.
Bureaus were instructed as to meth
DDS Of handling their county assess
ments and the chairman Of this COM
mittee, W. T. Harris. visited many
counties to give advice along this
line, and wrote numerous letters OF
other counties on the same subject.
This work saved Farm Bureau coun.
ties many millions Of dollars in as

$75,OlO RENT ITEM
IS REPORTED OUT
Provision Made to House Of
ces of Department of
Justice.

In the appropriation bill reported
out today there is proposed ap-
preparation OF $4,000 for rent OF
buildings and parts of buildings in the
District for the Department of Justice
if space cannot be assigned by the
public buildings commission in build
ings under the control of that COM
mission.
In hearings before the House ap-
propriations committee. Sims Ely
chief clerl, and administrative as
sistant Of the Department of Justice,
explained that the owners of the
avenue occupied by the Department
of Justice are demanding $4,000
rental. the departments lease having
expired.
The department is now paying $75.-
900 under protest. Mr.. Ely said. He
explained that the department is oc-
cupying 217 rooms, with 10000 square
feet of floor space. but that 1t is con-
siderably congested and thereby ham
pered in good administration.
In replying to questions by members
Of the committee. Mr.. Ely said that
the department is anxious to be To-
Gated in the Veterans Bureau b..ld-
ing. but that the Public Buildings
Commission prefers to place it in one
of the temporary war buildings. Mr.
Ely argued that some other minor ac-
tivity not so much in demand by the
public should be shifted from the
Veterans building to the temporary
structures.
1t was learned from the public
buildings commission today that the
only proper space available for the
Department of Justice is in the muni-
tions building. 1t is the attitude of
the commission. however. to allow the
War Department to fill in this build
ing with some of it's outlying activ-
tiles. According to present pros
poets. therefore. the public buildings
commission does not see any jchance
for some time ahead to move the De-
partment of Justice into govern
ment-owned building. The probabil-
ity is. therefore. that the Department
of Justice will remain for some time
in the building it is now occupying.
