A GREAT STROKE

With the enactment OF the refund

hand the means for achieveing one of
the greatest triumphs of his admin
istration. Half of our entire national
Indebtedness is represented by the
Sl1, 200, 100000 owed to us from
abroad. No single stroke ef execu-
tive management could have the i'm.
portance of an arrangement by which
the United States would receive reg
ular interest payments and pro
gressive reduction of the principal
further to add to the difficultie!
faced by the administration is tn
propaganda of a clique of interna
tionalists to bring about the cancela
tion of the entire amount. Such acticl
on their part is little short of treason
as it encourages the debtor nation
to withhold their interest payment
and hope for a remission of a part o,
AN of the principal.

The Main Performance
For the first. and last, time the
brass band of the eighth grade was
heard at the Peptmist's carnival. 1t
was the second number in the main
performance. They came in in great
style, took their seats and started
tuning up.
John Tattan, our director, announc-
ed the piece to be "Humoresque with
Variations.' 1t appeared as though it
would be the real thing. After test
ing all the instruments he gave a
signal to start but much to the sur
prise of the audience all the noise
they heard was April fcol".
Other numbers on the main perform
ance We're numerous health songs, a

Congress Goes to Aid
of Agricultural Industry
List of More Important Measures Written,
Introduced and Passed by Republicans
To Assist Farmers During Crisis
o. 8. REPRESENTATIVE j. n. TINCHER (KAN.

AGRICULTURE

er control law, it was written by Re.
publicans, introduced by Republicans
and passed by Republican majorities.
One of the immediate and urgent
needs Of the farming communities was
credit to tide them over their imme.
date crisis. In order to furnish this
credit the Republican Congress amend.
ed the War Finance Corporation Act
so as to enable that organization to
have revolving fund Of $1,000,00O,.
900 to be used exclusively in making
loans to livestock and agricultural In
terests. Since that body began func.
tioning under it's newly acquired pow.
ers it has been loaning money to the
agricultural and livestock interests Of
the United States at rate in excess
of $1,OO0,000 a day.
One of the earliest acts of this Con.
gress was the appropriation Of $4,000.
900 to be used in the purchase of seed
for the drought-stricken farmers of the
northwest. Since that time legislation
and appropriations have been made to
assist drought-stricken farmers in
other sections Of the country, and also
to relieve the settlers upon reclama.
ton and irrigation projects.
Still another act of this Congress
was the increase of the available cap
ital of the Farm Loan Banks in the
sum of $25,0O0,000, giving the Farm
Loan Banks a total revolving fund OF
s56,O00,0O0. This bill was written by
Republicans, introduced by Republi
cans and passed by Republican major
tiles in both branches of Congress.
Modern methods in the commerci
world have demonstrated the neces'
sity of the farmers being permitted to
sell his crops under cooperative sys
tenn, and that this might be done legal
ly and without interference or irrita
ton, the present Congress enacted the
Cooperative Marketing Bill. This is
another bill written by Republicans
introduced in both branches of Con
gress by Republicans and passed by
Republican majorities.
Honorable Henry c. Wallace, Secre
tary Of Agriculture. truly summed ii
up when he said:
"Never in the same length of time
did Congress give more serious atten
ton to farm needs. All of the legisla'
tion is of a constructive character and
will be more helpful than is now
realized.
