Statement by Secretary Mellon.

The Treasury announces that effec-
tive October /, 1922, the issue prices
of Treasury Savings Certificates will
increase to $20.50 for the $25 certifi-
Gates, $50 for the 500 certificates,
and $500 for the $1,000 certificates.
At the new prices Treasury Savings
| Certificates will yield about 4 per
cent compounded semi-annually
held to maturity and about per cent
simple interest if redeemed before
maturity. The new certificates will
be dated September 80, 1922, in or
der to distinguish them from the GER
tificates now on sale, which are
dated December Is, 1921. The cur
rent issue of certificates, which is be-
ing sold at $40 for $25 certificate,
$50 for a 500 certificate, and $500
for $1,000 certificate, will
continue on sale until the close of
business September 30, 1922, and
will then be withdrawn from sale in
favor of the new certificates. Treas
ury Savings Stamps, non-interest
bearing, which are now on sale in
the denomination of 81, will like
wise be withdrawn from sale at the
close of business September 80, 1922.
The current issue of Treasury Saw
ings Certificates was first placed on
sale December Is, 1921, and since
that date certificates up to about
100000 maturity value) have
been sold. Sales have been running
at the rate of about $15,000,
900 maturity value per month and
there is every evidence that the GER
tifcates have proven increasingly at
tractive to investors. With sales sat
isfactorily established on a going ba-
sis and with the improvement that
has taken place in the investment
markets, the time has come to read
just the interest basis on which the
certificates are sold and the Treasury
has accordingly decided to make the
increase in price which is now an
nounced. At the new prices the GER
tif1cates should continue to be highly
attractive to investors, particularly
small investors who desire to save
systematically and the Treasury looks
forward with confidence to the con-
tinued cooperation of all helpful
agencies in promoting their sale.

Deficits.

The country and even Congress
seem to have been startled by thu
announcement of the President, mad'
in his bonus veto message, that FOL
the year ending June next there will
be a deficit of $650,O00,000: Fol
this Congress is in part, and pool
business in part, responsible. Con
gress has reduced taxes without Civ
| ing sufficient thought to the need fol
revenue There has also been heavy
falling off in receipts as the result Of
business depression. For this Con.
gress is not to blame except for its
failure to foresee it, as it ought tc
have done, and as every one else, who
gave any attention to the matter, did
This assured deficit will have some
very important effects, though
whether it will have any effect on
Congress is somewhat doubtful. The
need for the strictest economy is be-
coming more and more imperative
/ perhaps we shall have to resort even
to "cheese-paring economy a thing
scorned by statesmen who delight in
| liberality with the peoples money.
1t has already been shown that many
of the duties imposed by the new
tariff bill will yield nothing, since
they are so high as TO exclude alto
gether the Importation of the articles
on which they are to be levied. The
budget bureau has done its best, and
has accomplished something, but it
cannot increase revenues. Nor can
it effect much of saving without
the cordial cooperation of Congress.
Whether it will have it we are yet
to see.
One thing is certain, end that Is
that the government will have to
quit branching out" and, for the
time at least, be content to perform
the functions with which it is at
present charged, without looking for
new fields in which to exercise it's
powers. AS matter of fact, there
ought to be curtailment of func-
lions and activities, for these within
the last twenty-five years have null
tiplied to dangerous extent. If
Congress would learn it's lesson, and
draw the right moral from present
conditions, the country would profit
largely and in many ways from the
deficit which is now so embarrassing.

MARSHALL NEILAN GOES AFTER
THE REAL THING IN STUDIO SETS
.nterlors OF BANKS and Hotels Win
Be Genuine.

be Genuine.
The building of "sets" in motion
picture production is rapidly disap-
pearing, and in place of the artificial
settings producers are photographing
actual interiors wherever this is pos
sible.
| Marshall Neilan, the famous pro-
|ducer and ever a leader in cinematic
innovations, has practically elimi-
mated artificial settings in Fools
First" his latest picture for First
National release, which is coming to
Reynolds Theatre Monday for two
day engagement.
Such scenes as the interiors OF a
bank, the night school, the hotel lob
by, etc., in Fools First" were staged
in actual surroundings.
"For years bank interiors have
been built on the studio stage" said
Mr.. Neilan in discussing the subject.
ut was a difficult matter to make
the sets look real and convincing. In
Fools First there are interiors of a
| real bank that could never be sue
cessfully reproduced on studio
stage. Although it requires little
inconvenience to the director, the
shooting of actual interiors is q
great saving in motion picture pro-
ducton.
"The perfection of the new port
able generating plant such as the big
power plant have just completed,
makes it easier for the director to
obtain actual interiors.
with such a machine we simply
receive permission from the bank or
the owner OF. the institution which we
wish to photograph, drive UP the
electric generator truck, run cables
into the room we wish to photo
graph, hook UP the lights and turn
on the switch. We are then ready
to get the real article.
This, as compared to the building
of elaborate sets, necessitating large
expenditures Of time and money, SIM
plifies pictuse making and gives the
audience the real thing.
Motion picture detetees have be-
come critical in the matter of back
and they can tell immedi-
ately when a room is artificial or
faxed Time was when sideboafds
and picture frames were painted ON |
the walls of the set. Then someone
started using real furniture. 1t was
no longer possible to paint furniture
on walls and satisfy the public
"And so with the use of SETS Of
there will always be sets, es-
pecially in instances where foreign
are called for. How
ever, where it is possible to photo
graph the real article, the use of
settings is rapidly becoming
a thing of the past.

and last January was electSd as
night police of Union City. He is
fine officer and the family is herd
in the highest esteem by the people
of Union City and elsewhere.
There were two children, Dovie
and Lexie. They attended the Union
City Training School and Miss Dovie
graduated there. She was also a
member of the Christian Church and
Sunday school and particularly at
tentive and interested in all her
work. She was a girl Of sweet graces
and becoming h1odesty. She was
reared in this environment and en-
joyed the love and esteem Of every
one.
1t was in this, the morning of life
and hope and dreams of love and
faith in human hearts, that she was
rudely awakened to realization of
the false and the revolving side of
human nature, and thus she was left
bruised and crushed. The sunshine
of happiness had vanished from the
earth, but the soul in the purity of
the lily and the rose will bloom
again in paradise.
Services were held Sunday after
noon at the First Christian Church..
conducted by the minister, Dr. Baker,
in the presence of a throng of people,
and the remains were taken to East
View for interment and the grave
was a garden of flowers.

Senator Borah Bolts.

senator w lllldh DOlohJ VI AA~
no, is preparing to return to his home
State to launch a fight against biz
own party
The issue, in a sense, is a loca
one to Idaho, but in larger sense
it is a national one.
The Republicans of Idaho have
written into their platform a pledg'
to repeal the direct primary law
Senator Borah is an advocate of di
rect primaries. In taking this &C
ton, the Idaho convention voices the
sentiments of such party leaders az
President Harding and members Of
his cabinet.
Senator Borah has been progress
.sive. He is classed as Republican
He has been regular. In 1912, he
refused to follow Roosevelt. In 1919
he helped to organize the Senate fol-
his party, despite his hatred of Pen
rose and all that the Old Guard stood
for.
Senator Borahs colleague from
Idaho is Senator Gooding, the head
of the tariff bloc. Borah opposed
'Gooding on most of the schedules and
on all of the important ones.
Two years from now, Borah will
be a candidate for reelection. With
the direct primary act repealed, he
would have little chance of renomi-
nation at the haRds of convention
in control of Gooding and his follow
ing.
So Borah is to return to Idaho to
stage fight, the result of which will
mean his continuace in or elimina-
tion from politics.
There are three State tickets in
Idaho this year The Republicans
are pledged to repeal the primary
act. The Democrats and Progressives
are pledged to retain it.
Senator Borah will take the stump
against the regular Republican nom
inees, breaking with his party for the
first time.
There is a deeper significance to
this than shows Ola the surface. 1t
emphasizes the tendency toward a
breakdown of Republican solidarity
There is no progressive movement as
in 1912, but none may tell what
1924 will bring forth.
There is no Republican party left
in North Dakota or Wisconsin and |
mighty little of it in Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska
Senator Ladd and Senator LaFol- |
lette are Republicans in name only
and if Brookhort aad Howell are Re
pubIicans, then Harding and Gooding
are not. There is no great issue on
which these representatives of the
two wings of the party can agree.
Senator Borah's campaign will be
viewed with as great an interest as
any political battle of the year.
The Tennessean never excused the
senior Senator from Idaho for his
hostility to the League of Nations,
but Of all the men who opposed it in
the Senate, he is the least susceptible
to charges of craftsmanship or personal
hatreds.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that Senator Borah is the outstand-
ing figure of q rather mediocre body,
the most forcefuI debater on either
side of the chamber, an orator of
pronounced ability, with a capacity
for research and study rarely eQualled
by a member of the Congress.
His sincerity and honesty of pur-
pose never have been questioned,
while his courage is of high order.
The one large achievement of the
present administration is his He

EARM BUREAU LOSES BID sum

According TO telegram received at
r. + y. headquarters from its repre-
sentative, ]. Lee Tarpley, the Farm
Bureau was soundly whipped in leg
Il battle with three leading Ellis
county farmers in district court at
Waxachie. Monday.
These farmers are all well-to-do
cotton farmers who were trapped into
signing the Bureau five-year contract
last year. They shipped the Bureau
officials all Of their 1921 crop. but
the returns were so slow and so bad
that they vowed they would not send
a single pound Of cotton to the Bureau
in 1922, contract or no contract-and
they didn't.
The Bureau officials filed suit for
the purpose Of forcing the farmers to
keep sending cotton and the court and
jury upheld the farmers. The F. L. U.
News goes to press too soon to obtain
the details Of the trial, but the follow
ing short-and-sweet telegram from Mr..
Tarpley will suffice for this time:
