surplus fund.
Under the regulations laid down by
earnings must be made on basis of
the calendar year or part of a calendar
year ended December 81. All amounts
due TO the grand fund are to be sent to

4. That freight rates be reduced at

6. That Congress take NJ tho i'm

ters of primary interest to farmers-suci
as improved methods Tor the collection
of statistical information regardin,
farm products both at home and abroad
the establishment of Government ownet
warehouses. and an increase In the mum
Der Of refrigerator cars.
Upon most of the questions the farm
ers were united, the chief points in dis
cussion throughout the conference be
ing whether the Government should en-
ter upon a policy OF price guarantee
and whether a resolution should b
adopted calling upon railroad labor alon
to accept a cut in wages to assist in tn
loweding OF freight rates.
Administration leaders held the viev
to-day that President Harding had ac
complished much by calling the confer
ence. Up to the time of the conferenc
there had not been clear cut ide;
what the agricultural interests wanted
Due to the existence of numerous farm
tive, some radical. there was q continu
GUS conflict. 1t was difficult for Mr.
Harding to make any definite recon-
to Congress. The confuse,
situation made possible the rise to powe
of the agricultural bloc, to which TIL,
farmers turned for what they wanted.
Those close to President Harding sale
to-day they believed he would send {
to Congress outlining what ac
tion he believes should be taken in com
pllance with the recommendations OF the
conference. 1t Is understood
that he Is entirely satisfied with the gen
eral program, upon the theory that il
presents the best views OF the moro con.
servative elements of the agriculture
group.

MORE MONEY INTO POCKETS
Balance Favorable Despite Hike
I'm Other Commodities.
Report Shows Big Movement
From Farms to City Life.

Washington, Dec 9.-The general
agricultural situation in the United
States has improved slightly as indi-
Gated by the monthly agricultural re-
view of the department of agriculture.
Cotton, grain and livestock products
prices, as we'll as prices of tn ,ngs
farmers have to buy. have risen slow
ly, the October price index on ten
farm products being 110, compared
with 100 for 1913.
This has put a little money into
the pockets of some farmers, put heart
into many more, and has done both
for those who carry farm products
thru the channels of trade" the review
says.
SThe prices the farmer pays for other
than food products, according to the
wholesale price index. has risen to
1863. compared with 100 in 1913. Thus
a unit of farm products will purchase
35 per cent less of other commodities
than it would in 1913.
November figures indicate an abnor-
NAL move ment of population from
farms to towns.
Winter Wheat Fairly Good.
Wheat belt shippers have been ham
pered by an almost unprecedented
shortage of freight cars. Winter
wheat stapds are reported generally
fairly good.
The cotton belt shows the best gen
eraI recovery of any region as a whole.
Cotton is very poor in many areas but
those having cotton to sell feel fairly
good at present prices
Farmers in the corn belt are some

OLD FILMS GAN BE REVAMPED

Star, Denied by Court.

New York, Dec. 9.-The plea of
Douglas Fairbanks to restrain Lyman
Wink and others from revamping

day. The court held that Fairbanks
was but an employe of the company
that made the films and that the pro-
ducers had a right to make changes
in a commodity they had hired him to
help produce.
The decision may affect old films of
number of otheS motion picture ac-
tors and actresses who have become
stars since the older pictures were
