Paolt and Francesca were two

centuries ago. They were made ia
nous by the action Of an "in-law":
to-wit Poala's brother, who happened
to be the husband OF the fair Fran

that Franceso Poala Franczella, OF

products. The farmer Is not so much
in need of credit as he is in need OF
prices that will leave him profit and
make credit unnecessary except on
unusual occasions and for a short
time. President Harding said;
We can have no helpful under

ture suffers alone, but we may fairly
recognize the fundamental difficulties
which Accumulate the agricultural
disbursements and menace the
helathful life OF this basic and abso-
lutely essential industry

things. He likes advice asks for it,
takes it and uses it. He and his cab
met talked and worked over the farm
situation. The result was that Secre-
tary WALLACE snt out an invitation FOR
men representing farming in all its
phases to meet in Washington in an
effort to relieve the farmers plight,
That conference was opened by
President Harding with more than
500 men present. He did not stand
there and tell them what to do. He
gave a most comprehensive outline OF
the situation and pointed out the ne
cessity for some method being devel-
oped to supply the farmer with money
when needed at as low and reason
able terms as it is supplied to any
other industry. He did NOT try to
dictate to these delegates, but left
them free to work out plan. Secre-
tary Wallace suggested three lines
along which he thought they could
work - to find what can be done by
legislation. what can be done by edu-
cational work and what the individual
farmer can do for himself that he is
not doing now.

culture is not the only industry that
has suffered and the President pointed
