Plan Big Discount
Old Russian Ruble

Moscow, July 2-(By A. P)-Rus
STA will cease to be a nation Of multi
millionares when the project of the
council of commissars to withdraw
from circulation all paper money is
sued prior to the present 1922 type is
carried out. In the new type of
paper money one ruble equals 10000
Of the old ruble.
AS announced by the Pravda, the
project will tend to curb the rate of
the ruble, which now is in the neigh
borhood of four million to a dollar
The new ruble will be 400 to the dol
lar, only a little less valuable than
the German mark.
Based on the old issues, probably
somewhere in the neighborhood OF
seventy-five trillion rubles in circu-
lation will be reduced on the new
basis to seven and onehalf billion
by the simple process of chopping off
four Ciphe@.

Russian Credits
Bother The Hague
Allied Conference

The Hague. July 2-(By A. Ply
Soviet Russia's request for more than
one billion and a half gold dollars in
credits is exercising a noticeable
bearish influence on The Hague con-
ference during these days of waiting.
The Soviets have asked for time to
present more detailed Information.
they will next meet with the nom
Russian commission Tuesday. when
they are expected to submit plans
concerning the treatment of private
property, and also to submit answers
to an extensive list of questions put
by the European experts as to how
they intend to use the credits and the
actual economic condition of Russia.
Who Is there to supply the Soviets
with credits? Is the question on
every lip today. The answer from
the delegates is that the governments
will extend no credits.
1t is pointed out, it Is to the pri-
vate capitalists and companies that
Russia must look for financial help.

that ia communities in his state

better farming, and 900 farm men

work to see that these programs are
carried out. The projects include
dairy Improvement, poultry manage
ment, lime and legumes. gardening.
orchardng. certified seed, corpora
tive buying and selling, home i'm
provement. etc. What is being done
in New Hampshire is being done to a
greater or less degree in every state.
and perhaps in every county in the
nation. The effect of all this will be
incalculable. and we may expect our
national agriculture to be the most
efficient of all our great industries
within short time. The fact that
+ the farmers have been driven by hard
times into scientific management may
be unfortunate. but the results will
be all to the good.-Farm Life.
