Urging tariff protection for his
industry against European competi-

that Congress has gradually yielded
to the Clamors Of the paid agepts of
the publishers until finally all tariff
on news print had been removed and
the industry abandoned to drift in the

Schwietert Of the Illinois Central Rail-
road announced here.
Through its development bureau the
Illinois Central is making a great eff
fort to aid farmers along its system
in Illinois," said Schwietert, who is in
charge of this work. "Some 10000 peO-
pie in Illinois have seen the reels and
heard the lectures accompanying
them.
THE farmers are not only urged to
increased production, but more econom-
ical production. The importance of
improving the rural home life is en-
phasized by urging the farmer TO give
to his wife and children the labOr-sav-
ing machinery and cOnveniences SO
essential to make home life pleasant
and attractive, and which must be done
If the boys and girls are to remain on
the farm.
Cow, swine and poultry judging
contests are conducted wherever II is
possible to do so and the essential
characteristics to look for in high
producing COW, hen and SOW are en-
phasized"
Various agricultural campaigns are
planned In cooperation with bankers
and business men. Schwiertert added,
and so far as possible the meetings are
held In community schoolhouses in the
rural districts. The lecturers are agri-
cultural agents employed by the rail
road company, who are experts in their
line of work, he said.
To augment the work in dairying, the
Illinois Central has purchased CON
siderable number Of pure-bred bulls OF
the dairy type.

than was demonstrated during the
past year in connection with their
banking operations. The year ending

return as given In the 1921 edition of
Trust Companies of the United
States" was one of tremendous recess
sion Of prices and values, attended by
reduction of bank loans, construction
of credit and rapid falling off of de-
posits.
Notwithstanding these adverse
conditions, the resources Of the trust
