1t rattles like the very Dutch,
It's radiator is of brass;
Now you know what kind it is,
You'll not need to ask.
| bought it second handed,
Had it two years, more or less,
And in that time its been in almost
every kind of mess.
The top is patched,
The cushions torn,
The tires all wrapped with wire;
It's been turned over THIRTEEN times,
An twice it's been on fire.

That's true, SO help me Jim.

For many miles around;
And she's been stalled in each mud

From my place into town.
Tho it's expenses keeps me broke,
And takes most all my yen,
If any gent should steal the thing,
I'd send him to the pen.
But | am not at all afraid that such
fate will befall;
For there is no one ele but me car

And tho to get her started off,

She takes ME there and brings me

So what more could l ask?

GERMAN ENVOY
HERETOACT
FORMER ENEMY
Teuton Ambassador Meets Secre-
tary And Analyses Conditions
Abroad
PREPARATIONS DISCUSSED
Bonar Law Discusses Probable
Loan To Germany Before
British Commons
PREPARATIONS DISCUSSED

WASHINGTON, Dee. 15.-Dr. OF
to Wiedfeldt, German ambassador,
conferred at length with Secretary
Charles Hughes, but no information
is available as to whether they dis
cussed reparations of the economic
situation in Germany. The call of
the German envoy, however, coming
just prior to the cabinet meeting, is
regarded as possible indications that
the president and his cabinet might
desire at once all available informa-
tion as to the precise condition in
Germany as relates to the repara-
tion problem.
Any settlement of the reparation
question will of itself aid in restor-
ing confidence in Germany both in
ternally and abroad because there
can be no settlement except on a ba-
sis on which Germany can aecomp-
lish the agreement.
The continued dragging out of the
reparations negotiations has served
to reduce Germany's international
trade, both buying and selling, al
most to nothingness, ii was said,
this in turn, it was shown, has caus-
ed an appreciable slowing down in
manufacturing with the added unem-
ployment and the resultant loss of
purchasing power within the nation.
AS result of the statement by
Mr.. Bonar Law. there was renewed
discussion here of the suggestion
made several times in Europe recent
ly regarding foreign loan by Ger
many and it was the opinion of some
administration officials that such a
program might save the country from
the impending crisis. One official
said, however, it would require a
billion and half dollars to accomp-
lish this purpose, although he did
not expect to see the amount called
for in one lump sum even if plan
We're attempted.
1t was made clear that this gov
ernment could haveno part in such a
program Of financing, although some
of its officials believed the PROPOSE
.tion one basically sound.
The loan, it is explained, would
provide Germany with money to buy
food when she reaches the point
where her stocks are exhausted and
funds are no longer available for that
purpose within the public. Other
wise, it was said, when the three
quarters of the years supply of food
were used up, none could tell what
would happen.

FARMERS MUST
ASSIST NATION
Country Needs The Farmer, And
Farmer Needs US Aid,
Says Harding

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Promi-
rent farmers of the South and other
sections of the country attending
the first session of the National Conu-
ell of Farmers Cooperative asso-
Citations at the capital were told by
President Harding that government
aid to agriculturalists can not be ef-
feetive unless the farmers of the ma
tion are organized and alive to their
responsibility to establish and use
practical instruments for the distri-
button of credits. The presidents
words were delivered to the meeting
in the form of a message.
Attending the conference are sew
eral Georgians, including L. ]. Jack
son, of the state Bureau of Mar
kets, and Eugene Price, representing
the Georgia railway commission, who
investigating transportation facilities
for agricultural products.
In his message President Harding
declared that no single movement
promised more help toward the pres
ent relief and the permanent better
ment Of agricultural conditions than
the cooperative marketing move
ment. He said the meeting was Of
unusual importance, and expressed
the hope that the famers would CO.
operate to make the efforts of the
government fruitful,
