MELLON NOT SATISFIED
WITH ALLIED DEBT BILL

Washington, Feb. 3.-Administra-
tion objections to the allied debt re-
funding bill as passed by the senate
were discussed at a White House con-
ference today between President
Harding and Chairman Fordney of the
house ways and means committee. 1t
was understood that the matter was
brought up later at the regular cabi-
net meeting.
While both the president and Sec
retary Mellon are dissatisfied with the
senate propision requiring that the
refunded obligations mature in not
more than twenty-five years and that
the interest rate be not below 4A per
cent, Secretary Mellon has taken the
position that if elimination of these
provisions will cause any drawn out
differences between the house and the
senate he would rather go ahead with
the bill in its present form.

FORDSON TRACTOR SALES
SHOW BIG INCREASE

Although the Ford Motor Company,
Detroit, has been increasing the out
put of Fordsons daily since the first
of the year retail sales have main
tanned even a greater advance.
April requirements necessitate the
building of four hundred Fordsons a
day, and production is being further
increased as rapidly as possible
This is the Ford Company's largest
output since 1919, and it is expected
that production will have broken all
previous records before the end of
the month.
The increased buying of Fordsons
indicates that the farmer'sr position
is better and also IS the farmers en-
dorsement Of the Fordson price cut
which created considerable comment
throughout the country.
Besides the Fordsons being sold far
farm use, many are sold in the cities
as power units for hauling, excavat-
ing and other kinds of industrial
