AGRICULTURE CREDITS ACT
WILL MEET FARMERS NEEDS

The agriculture credits act is
thoroughly explained in a statement
Just issued by the Secretary of Ag-
riculture, Henry c. Wallace.
The new agriculture credits act
was enacted in the closing hours of
the eth congress and secretary Wal
lace in discussing this legislation
writes as follows:
On the last day it was In session
Congress enacted the Agricultural
Credits Act. This act is designed
to give the farmer the sort of credit
he needs to produce efficiency and
market in an orderly way the pro-
ducts Of the farm. 1t is an effort
by Congress to meet a need which
has been felt for at least fifty years.
The act nay not be perfect. Quite
possibly experience will show the
need of amendments from time to
time. But it furnishes the basis for
a system of intermediate credit adap-
ted to farm conditions and farm
needs. Also it should bring about
reduction in the interest which farm
ers must pay for money borrowed.
The act is divided into two parts
In the first, it provides government
hStEtIeS LOT nduulluS agricultural
loans. In the second 1t authorizes
the organization Of private agencies
under government supervision for
making loans on livestock security
and on farm commodities on the way
to market.
The government loan activities
will be carried ON in connection with
the federal land banks. At the pres
emit time the country Is divided into
twelve districts, and in each Of these
districts there is = Federal land bank
which makes land mortgage loans,
these twelve banks being directed by
a central Federal Farm Loan Bureau
in Washington. In Connection with
each of these land banks there Is to
be established an intermediate credit
bank. located in the same city with
the land bank and under the super
vision OF the officers and directors
of the land bank. The Federal gov
eminent supplies each OF these in
termediate credit banks with a cap
ital of moi to exceed $4,000, 900.
These intermediate credit banks are
authorized to discount farmers notes
which have been taken by banks
and other financial Institutions. and
then can carry such notes for a
term Of from six months to three
years. The banks may also loau
direct to farmers cooperative as.
sociations under conditions set forth
In the act.
These intermediate credit banks
may issue debenture which will have
back OF them the farmers notes
which the banks have taken. The
idea is hat these debentures may
be sold to people who wish q safe
Investment. They are exempt from
tANation. just ~ the bonds issued
By the Federal land banks are ex-
empt. The interest charged by the
intermediate credit banks may not
exceed by more than one per cent
the interest paid on the debentures
issued. and the farmer who borrows

BUYING SUPPORT GIVEN OILS AND CURB LIST FIRM

NEW YORK. Oct. 5.-Good buying support was forthcoming for the oil shares in today's curb market and the general list displayed a relatively firm tone. Some selling took place just before the close in sympathy with the reaction in the "bIg board"

, BUYING FAILS TO i SUPPORT VALUES
 IN WHEAT MARKET

CHICAGO, oct. 5.--Although word that President coolidge and the cabi- net were considering farm relief measures had some tonic effect on the wheat market today. buying failed to develop sufficient volume to sup port values. The close was weak. Is to 3-Sc net lower; with December 1071s to 1e7 5-s and May s1.11 9-S.
 Corn finished at a range varying % 07-Sc decline to stc advance. Oats 1-S to 1-4@3-sc down and provisions 5@25c up.
 Aided by an upturn in Liverpool quotations wheat prices hero averaged a little higher during the early deal ings, and then in response to cabinet news from Washingt n scored a moderate general advance about mid day. Demand, however, seemed to be confined for the most part to traders who previously had bee selling. As a result the market sagged hen the wants of this class had been filled. Tn some quarters the slackness of general buying was associated with supposed discarding of any plan for an immediate increase of import duties on wheat. Advocates of such tariff change urged that measures to help farmers 90 days nee would come after most of the wheat crop had left the hands of the growers.
 Increasingly bearish news regard ing Canadian wheat production and the crop movement i crease attracted considerable attention, According to one authority the wheat crop of the province of Alberta will alone total between 175,000,000 and 200,000,000 bushels instead of 145,009,000 as esti- mated by the Canadian government Canadian farm deliveries today were reported heavy and the movement to terminals as abJ t up :" ilroad ability to furnish cars
 Corn and oats followed what, ex- cept that old corn continued scarce and rose to new igh price records for the season.
 Provisions were stronger in line with the hog market.

sAT TACK BY BEARS
 PARTLY SUCCEEDS !. AS WEEK CLOSES
Market Continues To Be Bat tie Between Professional In- Z tereStS For Control
By WALTER B. DROWN, Editor New York Commercial. Geased Wire to Age-Herald.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Demonstra- lions of strength in the stock marx eI became quite pronounced during the week, but invited another attack py the bears which was partially sue cessful. It continues to be at battle between professionals for control' The bears continue to emphasize uIl- favorable conditions in domestic Dus- mess and magnify every posslpie Item @ :, that can be construed as a re1lectloh upon continued prosperity. It re- solves itself, therefore, Into ques- 2 tion as to the condition of American business The foreign situation has been played for all it was worth but seems now to have been played out. The fact is we are on a domestic basis and 1t has been demonstrated sthat our present labor supply has about all it can do to supply the needs of our home population.
 We have been basing our calcu- lations altogether too much upon tradition. We have assumed that we had an active export trade, be- cause that has always been the case in the past. It does not mean that We can discard our export trade, for it is very necessary to maintain an outlet where there are natural sur pluses, as of the crops, and for those industries which are primarily built upon export distribution. It does not mean, however, as 1t used to do, that the rise or fall in our exports spells the difference between pros- ,perity and depression. Yet for that matter an examination of our ex- D ports since February, 1922, when they touched bottom reveals a steady in- crease month by month that is like ly to bring them before very long within hailing distance of the pre- war volume.
 It is not to be asumed that we are on the eve of another boom, but 1t can be safely declared that we are not about to enter @ business de- pression. Despite the bear propa- ganda in Wall street the fears in this regard are subsiding and sentiment is now in the direction of a contin- uation of prosperity on moderate lines.
 We have changed our ideas consid- erably in the past few years, and more particularly since the war The luXuries of pre-war days are now considered necessities, and our inabil- ity to command them is now regard ed as hardship. To supply this new demand entails a greater call upon industry.
 There can never be the reduction to pre-war wage levels because the workers have become accustomed in the meantime to broader standards of living from which they will not be willing to depart and which for the good of the community they should not be asked to do.

 BOUGHT HIS FREEDOM
This Is Claim Of OhiOan When WiRc
 Has Him Arrested

CHICAGO Oct. 5.--Protesting that ''he had bought freedom from his wife in Canton, Ohio, for s4.000,' John Bankhurst was arrested today in a bungalow in Arlington Heights, a suburb. and was taken back to the Ohio city to face a charge of child abandonment. He declared his wife had mot played fair"
 ~ The woman for whom he said he purchased his freedom. a former English Red Cross nurse, declared she would follow his back to Can ton to "see that justice is done" She has two year old child.
 We fell in love-" she said. John went to Mrs. -Bankhurst and told her about it. It was the old problem she and T both wanted him and the law and his inclinations were at war. The three of us discussed it frankly and finally she agreed that if he would pay her $4,000 and go out of her life in quiet way, she would make no trouble."
 They went to Cleveland she con- tinued and believing that the wife had carried out her agreement to get a divorce they had a marriage cere- mony and later came to Chicago. Last April, she said, they learned no divorce had been granted and they then had their marriage annulled.

MORE LOVE NEEDED
This Is View of Mangus Johnson In
 Plea To Big Business

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.--More love is the need of the hour, Magnus Johnson, senator-elect from Minnesota. told a large gathering of prominent Chi cago business men at the meeting of the Executives club today. He ap- pealed for the cooperation of big business.
 Tt wasn't only the farmers who revolted in Minnesota" he said ''the senatorial election,' he said; the bankers, business men and profess sional men revolted with the farm CTS. Ninety-eight per cent of the bankers in my home district were for me. l am carrying a message from the business men and profess sional men of the small town. For the farmer. the business man of the small town, the little banker. each is nothing more than 8 laboring man. Gentlemen, 1t Is up to you to join us, let us reason together and cooperate together.

NEW YORK. Oct. 5.--Albert Bailin was found guilty by federal Jury today ona a charge of sending obscene letters through the mails. but was ac- quilted of second indictment charg- ing use of the mails to defraud the government.

BETTER TONE IS SHOWN BY BONDS IN DAYS TRADING

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Today's bond market displayed 'a distinctly bet ter tone, although closing prices in many instances were below the days best levels. At the same time in vestment bankers and bond sales men reported an increase in public buying for investment purposes. The aparent change in sentiment in the bond market, despite further falling off in stock prices, was attributed by bankers to one ready response which met the unusually large offer ings on Wednesday.
 United States government bonds either held steady or improved with the single exception of the treasury AZ which eased slightly. Foreign bonds were dull and irregular.
 The major portion of the days trading was centered in the railroad group where the principal earnings statements for class one roads for August influenced a healthy demand for a wide. assortment of issues. h. dustrials were inclined to be heavy although Marine 6s moved up 21a points at one time, only to lose prac- tically all of gain later.
 Efforts of Illinois to dispose of approximately s2e.0oo,ooo worth of bonds are handicaped, bankers stated, not alone by the states de- sire to offer them with & 4* per cent coupon but even to a greater extent by the fact that interest pay ment would be made at Springfield, Illinois, and on an annual basis.

NOISELESS STREET CAR
Twin Cities Have Roller Rearing
 vehicle At Last.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 5.-The Twin-Cities new noiseless street car, equipped with roller bearings and au- tomobile brakes, appeared here today. With a subdued, well modulated whirring, it made it's way over the rails while passengers had difficulty In keeping their voices low enough for privacy.
 The new car Is the result of two years research work by the transit company's engineers. Elimination of much of the noise of an ordinary car was made possible by discarding the old fashioned journal box and Iron brake shoes, and placing rubber gas- kets between the body of the car and the trucks.
 No plans have been made for build- ing more of the cars.

Fluctuations Of Cotton
Violent Feature

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The feature of the week in the cotton market was the excited and violent fluctuations which followed the governments re- ports of last Tuesday. The first of these reports gave the amount of cotton ginned to September 25, as 3,215,3s4 bales, against S,S66,S96 last year. Owing to the fact that gin ming up to September l, this year, has established new high record, larger returns to September 25 had been anticipated and the figures published evidently convinced many traders that the dSeptember crop report would make 0 more bullish showing than previously anticipated. AS a result there was very rapid and eX- cited advance between the appear ance of the ginning report and the publication of the condition figures. The latter were very closely In line with the average of the private re- ports issued during the previous week, but the crop indication of Ill., <015, ,000 was a little higher than ex- pected and there was sudden re- versal of sentiment around the ring, which caused a sensational break. December contracts, which had sold up to 29.35c on the small ginning re- turns, declined to 2756c before the selling movement ended but then ral- He'd on reports that southern spot markets were nOlulHS reldIlNcly III III and the reappearance of unsettled weather in the southwest. Fluctua- tions later in the week were rather nervous and irregular and sentimchl today seemed to be more or less un- settled owing to talk of probable mill curtailment in New England The latter was started by the an nouncement that one of the largest gingham manufacturers in the coun- try had decided to close down all its plants except for the worsted depart ment for an indefinite period begin hing at noon tomorrow. Rumors that other manufacturers might take similar action did not develop dem nitely but there was evidently feei- ing here that curtailment might be- come more general should the de- mand for goods fail to show an im- provement. As a result, the recovery from the low levels touched on the early week decline was not tuly maintained and there was a good deal of scattering liquidation on the reactions toward the end of the week. Fall River sales of printed cloths TOT the week were estimated at only 50'- 900 pieces, and 1t is reported that second-hands are selling goods at lower prices than manufacturers are willing to consider

CHINA NAMES PRESIDENT
Election Of TsaO Kum Keeps Nation From Being Without Government

PEKING. oct. 5.--The election of Marshal Tsso Kun as president of China came just in time to save China from the extraordinary predicament of having no legal government at all.
 Li Yuan Hung, the president who fled from Peking early in June when 8 militarist coup threatened, has quietly passed off the political stage. The term of the presnt parliment is due to expire October 10. Until recently parliament had refused 10 elect a successor. Had they per sisted in this refusal, China would have had no legal government what soever after that date.

WATERMEL0NS A LUXURY
Review Of Chicago Market Shows
 COnsumptiOn Decreasing.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Watermelons in Chicago have passed from the semi luxury to the luxury class, even in summer. according to review of the watermelon market for 1923 issued here today by the U. s. department of agriculture.
 Although Chicago Is generally con sidered the most important water melon. market in the United States, both from consuming and distri- outing standpoint, there has not only been no noticeable increase in the consumption of watermelons In Chi- cago within the last few years, but In fact there may have been decrease. The chief reason advanced is that retail prices are too high.
