ton which will inf1ict injury upon all
classes.
However much the average western
er may disagree with this eastern
banker, and with the accepted stand of
Wall Street in relation to the general
run of financial legislation, it is we'll
to know that the action of the farm
bloc in Washington is likely to result
in political action in our congressional
and senatorial campaigns this year
Should the fasteners carry out\ the
policy limited at in the statement made
by the Times considerable life will be
injected into number of the cam
paigns for reelection by members of
the bloc.
Tariff Enactments
That the manufacturing districts of
the East should watch the action of
the bloc in relation to tariff with some
concern, is the most natural thing in
the world. In reference to this the
New York banking concern quoted,
said:
Upon the tariff it will take action
/ as unit and make predetermined the
correction of the dangerous provisions

The Federal Reserve Board.
Since the above was printed in New
York definite action to enable" the
president to nominate a dirt" farmer
to a position on the federal reserve
board has been taken by the senate
The measure passed the senate by {
vote of GO to 8, on Tuesday and now
comes before the house.

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
Just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need, apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.-Adver-
tisement.

WHOLESALE PRICES
REMAIN STATIONARY

WASHINGTON. Jan 19.-The gen
eral level Of wholesale prices remained
stationary through November and
December the bureau of Labor stats
tics of the department of Labor
announced today. The Bureaus
weighed index number with the 1913
level denoted by 100. stood at 149 in
those months with the prices of 1921
commodities considered.
Foodstuffs, farm products, cloths.
clothing, chemicals and drugs showed
tendency which was most pronoun-
ced in such articles as cattle, hay, hops
lemons, oranges and sugar. Metals
peanuts, butter, cheese, eggs, lard
and house furnishing goods were
listed as unchanged, while fuel prices
showed a slight increase and building
materials advanced three percent in
December over the November level.
An increase for the month of two
per cent was reported in the group
of miscellaneous commodities includ-
ing bran, mill feed middlings, linseed
meal, lubricating oil, paper, manila
rope. Mexican sisal and tankage. OF
! the 327 commodities lie were shown
| to have increased and 122 remained
| stationary in price in December.
The general level of wholesale
| prices in December according to the
announcement was 81 per cent lower
than it was one year before, with
house furnishing goods showing the
greatest decrease of 81 per cent;
metals and building materials "a per
cent, farm products 2112 per cent;
fuel 81 per cent and food 10 per cent
All the remaining groups of commod-
tiles showed smaller decreases.

his retirement, regardless of the pos
sible desire of the president to reap
point. But a compromise measure was
passed which eliminated the need for
ousting Mr.. Harding. 1t provides for
a board of six instead Of five, as now
constituted.
The Change Recorded.
The dirt farmer seems to have been
submerged, inasmuch as he is not
specifically mentioned in the amend
ment adding a new member TO the
board. and which provides that the
president in making appointments
should have due regard to fair rep
| resentation of the financial, agricui-
tural, commercial, and industrial in
terests and geographical divisions OF
the country"
President Harding made it clear TO
the leaders of the bloc in the first
instance that he did not look with
/ favor upon legislation specifically dl
recting him to appoint a farmer &c
the federal reserve board" says the
+ Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, in his summing up.
| This does not mean that the presi
dent is averse to having agricultural
| interests represented in the board. He
has expressed himself in favor of this
in fact, and there can be no doubt thai
/ agriculture will be duly recognized il
! the forthcoming appointment, the Pres
ident being the Judge of the kind Of {
farmer and the type of man to be ia
vored with the appointment.
/ Defend Our Reserve Banks
! While what is here written relate
mainly to an expression of what finan
cial New York and political Washing
i ton is talking about, it by no mean
follows that the middle West is silen
on the subject in discussion. Far dill
ferent, in fact, SO far as editorial writ
ers are concerned. The federal re
serve board and some of the fedora
reserve banks have been subjects @
, much cheap criticism from some yer
cheap critics" says the editor of tn

t lined-"Hands Off the Reserve Banks.

In relating a story of opposition in
the east to the purposes and actions OF
the farm block in congress, the New
York Times recently said:
THE growing power of the agricul-
tural bloc in congress is causing alarm
to financial and business interests OF
the East and already a tentative move
ment has been started for action at
the polls to prevent domination of leg
isIation by this group.
One firm of. bankers and brokers
voiced their sentiments, as quoted by
the Times, as follows: In the pres
ent state of this country there is no
doubt as to the economic results which
would arise from the enactment of the
bloc's portentious program. The stu
alton has thus become acute. 1t is in
conceivable that Eastern business and
banking interests will endure for long
the meddlesome, experimental discrim-
nations of politics dominated by the
middle West. Rather will relief be
sought at the polls, where. during 1922
one-third of the membership of the sen
ate and the entire membership of the
house are to be elected
Tie bankers in question continue
their argument by citing what had ther
been accomplished, and what legisla
ton the bloc was responsible for III
to that time. 1t cited the farm loar
bill, stated that the bloc advocates the
creation of rural credit situation t
permit loans on commodities in The
same manner in which the government
! arranges loans on farm land"
! Where the Danger Lies
! After stating that: The farmer blot
is seen as the dominant power in con
gress," the banker proceeds to relat,
that the bloc demands that a farme
shall be placed upon the federal re
serve board" Then, further: ''Sucl
are the instances of legislation to bene
fit one class of the population, but tn
danger lies in the fact that, in its Pre-
found ignorance of common economi
principles, the bloc may shape legisls

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN

WITH SULPHUR

Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is l.

The moment this sulphur prepare

after two or three applications, the
eczema is gone and the skin is de.

is so precious as a skin remedy be
