FITS AMERICA FOR ME-"
 SAYS TOURIST ON RETURN

we decided to see for ourselves and we certainly saw.
 "Of course, everyone knows that as a nation, Germany never did im- port much foodstuff, and why should she? Her crops are wonderful the best it is said, in 90 years. Every one looks we'll fed and comfortably clothed. In village, town and city. there is no evidence of any poverty. The children are rosy checked, happy looking, healthy youngsters. There is more building going on than in any other country of Europe.
 "The bread riots that we saw in Dresden are caused by no shortage of bread, but as political protest against increase in the price of bread.
 Food of every kind is most plenti- ful, quite good, and to be had at cheap price. We were in Berlin during the strike of the street car men, the bus drivers and the government printers, but our only trouble was the scarcity of marks. Regardless of now they were quoted, it was almost impossible to get them on account of the printers strike.
 "They have two price lists for everything. that for foreigners being multiplied, always by 10 and then there is a government tax of 80 per cent placed on all foreigners at ho- tels, cafes, etc.
 we were always treated most courteously by German officials who seem anxious to cultivate friendly re- lationship with Americans. but we realized it would not be natural for them to feel, at heart, any love for lis. They still feel the sting of defeat.
 London was delightfully."- home like after the foreign ways of the continent, and we thoroughly ena joyed our stay of nearly three weeks there. Dickens had made street si gns so familiar to us, that l felt, many times, as though l had been there often before.
 we saw Tallulah Bankhead sev- eral times, both off and on the stage. which is a very clever combination of comedy and tragedy, well acted. and shows her at her best. It has run seven months and Is considered by many, the best show now in London. Even the king and queen have favored 1t with their presence.
 Another play-just an amusing musical comedy-'Brighter London caught our fancy and brought almost a surge of homesickness by its first spoken lines, You must be from Ala bam,' for while Europe is all Tight for a vacation trip-and care-free wandering around for a few months 1t isn't place where I'd care to finger.
 We saw it most deli ghtfully in our own chosen way, travelling by our selves, following our own inclinations, going where we pleased, doing as we liked, resting when we felt tired and changing our itinerary. often most unexpectedly, so as to include some thing more of interest and always, everywhere, we were treated in 2 most cordial way, often being enter tained very delightfully."-.

AGRICULTURE CREDITS ACT
Statement BY the Secretary of Agri-
culture, Henry c. Wallace, re-
earding It's Provisions

/ 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 efficiently and mar
ket in an orderly way the products
Of the farm. II furnishes the basis
for a system of intermediate credit
adapted to farm conditions and farm
needs. Also it should bring about a
reduction in the interest which farm
ers must pay for borrowed money.
The act is divided into two parts.
In the first. it provides government
agencies for handling agricultural
loans. In the second. it authorizes the
organization of private agencies under
government supervision for making
loans on livestock security and on
farm commodities on the way to the
market.
The government loan activities will
be carried on in connection with the
Federal land banks. 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
supervision of the officers and direc-
tors OF the land bank. The Federal
government SUPPLIES each of these in
termediate credit banks with a eapi-
tai Of not to exceed s5.oO0.0O0. These
intermediate credit banks are author
lied TO discount farmers notes which
have been taken by banks and other
financial institutions. aud then carry
such. notes for term of from six
months TO three years The banks
may also loan direct 10 farmers CO.

tions set forth in the act.
