BIGGER SUMS FOR
FARMERS AVAILABLE
Federal Reserve Board Amends Its
egulations-credits Are
Increased by Action.

Washington, Dec 2O.--Announce-
ment was made by the Federal Reserve
board of amendment to it's regulations
which will materially increase the
amount of farm credit which the Fed
eral Reserve system Is extending.
This move by the board comes at a
tl.le when administration and insur-
gent leaders in the house are strug-
Cling for leadership in the passage of a
new law for the extension of further
credit facilities to the farmer.
The reserve board changed Its regu-
lations to provide that bankers ac-
ceptances with maturities up to six
months, which are drawn by growers
or cooperative marketing associations
to finance the orderly marketing of
non-perishable staple agricultural
products, are eligible for re-discount
at reserve banks.
1t is expected that the amendment
will be of material assistance to CO.
operative marketing associations. An
official statement from the board said
that 1t was greatly interested In the
cooperative movement and in extend
ing all of the aid possible to such or
CARNATIONS and to the farmers direct.
Heretofore acceptances With maturl-
ties of not more than three months
have been acceptable, and the short
period was of limited benefits.

GERMANY Ape AIS
To UNITED STATES
Wants Financial Experts Named
to Fix Preparations.
SEEKS PURELY YANK BOARD
Asks That All Troops Be withdrawn
From the Rhine in Plan Out
lined to the State
Department.

Washington, Dec. 21.--In order that
'just" reparations sum may be ar
rived at,s Germany has communicated
to the State depa. tment a proposal
that a commission Of experts be ap-
pointed to study and determine a fig
ure within her capacity to pay. The
plan also was communicated to the
capitals of other allied nations. The
outstanding features of the proposal
are as follows:
i. Germany suggests commission
of financial and economic experts to
lions sum which is within Germany's
capacity to pay. The present repara-
lions figure is equivalent to more than
$4,000, 100000.
Prefers U. S. Appointees.
2. Germany would prefer that this
commission be made up entirely of APP
pointees by the United States, which
would constitute American mediation,
but understands that the allied pow
ers concerned with the PREPARATIONS
problem would not agree TO this. She,
therefore, proposes that the commits
sion be participated in by the United
States and the allies.
3. Germany Is prepared to offer
every facility to this commission In ar
irving at it's decision as to what Ger
many should and could pay, throwing
open the books dealing with the adj
ministration of her internal affairs,
and so forth.
Withdrawal of Troops Asked.
4. Germany hesitates to make re-
parations figure herself on the ground
that France and other allies would
find 1t unacceptable
8. Germany feels that if the allied
armies of occupation were Withdrawn
from her territory she could pay
double the amount Of reparations she
otherwise could meet. or at least a
much larger sum.
6. Germany undertakes to give a
categorical answer "yes" or ''no"-as
to whether she would accept and agree
TO pay the figure that the expert COM
mission decided Un-

The LARGEST Web.

The largest web that the writer ever
heard Of was not a spiders web, but
was built by butterfly larva, or
rather by several of them. A lady In
Australia placed some of these little
insects in room on her veranda.
Coming into the apartment some time
after. she was surprised to find the
walls completely covered by a beauti-
full web, attached at the corners by
coarse threads, SO that it hung like a
tapestry of silver sheen.
