FARMERS GET TOO MUCH CREDIT, SAY BANKING EXPERTS
Urge Financial Institutions To Aid Planters By Requir-
 ing Business Methods

CHICAGO, July 9.-The American farmer is suffering from too much credit, instead of lack of credit, according to a statement issued here Monday by the agricultural rela- tions committee of the Illinois Bank CTS association.
 Bankers permitted farmers to ex- ceed the normal line of operating credit during the Inflated period, and now the farmer has no means of meeting the debts he already has contracted, the report says
 A banker should not extend more credit to the farmer than he would to a merchant or manufacturer. In so doing he is doing the farmer an injustice rather than kindness.
 "A campaign of education should be carried on between the banker and the farmer, that they both may become better acquainted with the business of each other and that the farmer may understand the diff ference between a capital loan and an operating loan.
 The banker should insist on hav- ing financial statement on far mer-customer at least once a year, and oftener should the necessity re- quire. We find that the matter of financial statements has revealed to the farmer his real condition and in many ways has been the means or changing his methods of doing busl- ness"

LAKE YIELDS BODY
 OF AIRMAN FROM LL-FATED GRAF I
Body Of Other BaIloonist Not Found After Long
 Search

PORT STANLEY. July 9.-(By As sociated Press.) )-Lake Erie today yielded the body of Lieut.. L. J. Roth, pilot of the ill-fated United States navy balloon A-669S. Strapped to the basket of the balloon and clad only in his underwear, around which had been tied a life preserver. Roth S body was found in the basket this morning, 14 miles off here, by Capt. George Wilson, master of fishing boat.
 Apparently caught in the terrific storm of last Thursday night, Lieu tenant Roth evidently took the pre- caution to strap himself to the side of the basket after divesting himself of his clothing, and then cut the bas- ket loose from the big bag, trusting to the buoyancy devices with which the basket was equipped to keep it afloat.
 Died Of Exposure.
 How long the basket was buffeted about the lake after the bag was cut loose could not be conjectured, but the condition of Lieutenant Roths body indicated that he died of exposure. His head and shoulders were hanging over the edge of the basket. .Identi- fication of the body as that of Roth was established by the stenciled ini- tials s. L. J. R. in the underw ear.
 Although airplanes from Selfridge field, flying boats from Cleveland and Detroit, a revenue cutter and va rious other swift moving craft had searched the lake for nearly three days without success. 1t remained for small fishing craft to find the miss

Gas Pipe On Maughan'sPIane Becomes Clogged And Avia- tor Is Forced To Give Up Daylight-to- Dark Flight
 MACHINE LANDS IN COW PASTURE IN MISSOURI Birdman Dimes With Farmer, After Promising Friends He Would Eat His Dinner In FriSCo-Craft Is Repaired

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, July 9.-Lieut. Russell L. Maughan will make a sec ond attempt within d week or ten dawn and dusk, he announced here Monday shortly after his engine failed, forcing him to land in a COW pasture near Avenue City, Mo.
 The intrepid flyer was undaunted by the failure of his first spectacular attempt, which ended abruptly when a gas pipe in the engine clogged up 10 miles from the municipal flying field here.
 Lieutenant Maughan was flying two hours behind schedule after leaving McCook field, where he made his first stop at 10 o'clock Monday. He averaged approximately ITO miles an hour on the second leg of the journey and was within three minutes of the scheduled time for the stop, when the engine failed and the plane dropped to earth.

 A farmer who saw the plane has tened to the scene. Tanned and greasy, Lieutenant Maughan hoped out of the fuselage. remarked IlOWuy anu lllN llCu 1AAAAAoNAA W lunch.
 T didn't expect to dine until I got to San Francisco, but somehow you can't depend on these flying busses, the flyer told the farmer while he enjoyed a big country meal
 Hundreds of automobiles loaded with curious people who had waited in vain at the flying field for the planes arrival, rushed to the farm where Maughan landed.
 Tt will take me couple of days to get this thing repaired and then am hopping back to New York to try it again." <Maughan said, Tt was lucky that this gas pipe plugged up where there was a soft place to land. Might Have Been Worse.
 "If that had happened over the mountains where 1t is necessary to flv over the clouds, the result would not have been so fortunate. l believe if my engine had lasted four minutes longer and I had reached the flying field, my mechanics would have spot ted trouble and had the motor tuned up for the balance of the flight"
 Lieutenant Vaughan will hop off Wednesday or Thursday on the re- turn trip to New York if favorable weather prevails.

GIVE RNMENT NUT TO GO BACK IN TUSKEGEE PRONISE
Hines Will Seek To Find Out Definitely What Offers
 Were Made

WASHINGTON. July 9,--The fu- ture policy of the Veterans bureau in regard to the operation of the Tuskegee, Ala, Veterans hospital With negro personnel rests on a de- terminatlon of whether the good faith of the federal government is involved through promises made by the Dr. White committee of the treasury department, Director Hines said today on returning from a per sonal inspection at Tuskegee.
 For the present, Director Hines said, the hospital will be conducted with the present staff of white doc tors and negro nurses. but the pro- cess of selecting negro physicians ready to put them in when a defi- mite policy Is decided, will continue.
 There seems no doubt Mir. Hines said, that the Dr. White committee made promises when land was do- mated for the institution that it would be under the control of white personnel.' Recognizing that possibly the White committee ex- ceed it's powers in making such promises the Veterans bureau head will move cautiously and seek to determine just what was meant.
 The Tuskegee institute, he pointed out Is manned entirely by negro personnel but has 6 board of trus- tees composed of sixteen whites and four blacks. It may be that a similar form of control of the bu- reau hospital was contemplated. At any rate MT. Hines said the citizens committee at Tuskegee seems to have promises in writing, which, it was said, if disregarded might in Volve the governments good faith.
 Pending conferences with a com mttee of citizens arranged on his visit to Tuskegee, Director Hines said he would stand pat and make no appointments beyond those all ready made, either of white or ne

Fine for The ge-Herald; finer still for Birmingham"
 That is the refrain in commercial and industrial circles with reference to acquisition of the 27-story Jeffer- son County Bank building for the fu- ture home of The Age Herald.
 The dominant thought was aptly expressed by Charles A. Moffett, pres ident of the Gulf States Steel com pany who said: Acquisition of that magnificent building for home for The Age-Herald was a splendid bust ness stroke on part of the owners of The AgeHerald and it was mighty good business for Birmingham What particularly like about it from my viewpoint as a pioneer is that the deal was swung by Birmingham cap ital.
 Birmingham has certainly gotten out of it's swaddling clothes wher the owners of our morning news paper can consummate a deal of that kind. It is a splendid advertisement of the Birmingham of today. 1t Is good for The Age-Herald. but It is even bigger and better for Birming ham to realize that we can do big things like that of our own motion and with our own means.
 Tt means. l take it, that The Age Herald realizes the bisness of Bir- mineham and the size of it's own job in adequately reflecting the district through it's columns. It is enterprise of the first water and Birmingham is proud of those who have shown this high mark of confidence in the progress of which they are a part"
 c O O
 Test Of Confidence.
 Horace Hammond. president of the Hammond-O -OBoyd Iron company, said t5e-ff ,lf T home of The AgeHerald by it's own CTS is test of their confidence in Birmingham. It was a stroke of en- terprise of the first water. It was worthy of Birmingham and the big men of Birmingham who seem to re- gard nothing as too big for the city and the district It will attract at F tention all over the country and re- dound fully as much to the credit of the district as to The Age Herald. l feel like congratulating the city quite as much as The Age Herald"
 A Big "Ad."
 L. Sevier, president of the Alabama Manufacturers association, said Tt is an age of advertising. I do not think The Age Herald ownership could have done anything that would prove the sterling advertisement that acquisition of this truly regal home Will De.

GLEN IRIS DIARIES GETS MILK ORDER r R l M HOSPITAL
Public Health Institution In Mobile To Get Supply
 In Birmingham

public health service placed the or der for pasteurized milk for the Marine hospital at Mobile with the Glen Iris Diaries of Birmingham, following an investigation that was concluded Monday.
 The Glen Iris Dair1es, which has been in, or leading the first division of dairies in the Birmingham dis trtctl for some years. drew the at tention of the federal authorities through reports of it's high stand ards.
 For some time the hospital au- thorities have been dissatisfied with the milk supply in the vicinity of Mobile, finally deciding to seek elsewhere for what they wanted. Mobile is reported as being in the throes now of what Birmingham went through when the crusade for clean milk was started a few years ago. C
 Birmingham officials were much the placing of the government or der with Birmingham concern. The Glen Iris Diaries was the one chosen by several schools here be- cause of the reported purity of it's output. The officials see in the ac- ton of the government representa- tives what they hope is the final convincing argument to the several dairies i'll this district which stin complain of the local laws as being too drastic as concerns the handling of dairy products.
 Dr. J. D. Bowling. health officer, who has led the fight for clean milk, took the news of the governments s order as a matter of course. He said that when high standards are set and maintained they will auto matically result in better business.
 The order calls for dairy ship ment of milk from the Glen Iris Diaries In sufficient quantities to supply the hospital.

BEAR MOUNTAIN. x. Y., July D. The part played by the Boy Scout in molding the character of the na- tlon was eulogized by Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, in an address here today be- fore the national council of the scouts organizations.
 Boy Scouts, he said, "are building up manly men, men who won't whine at a little hardship, men who are wiling to sacrifice themselves for the good of their country and their fellow cltzens.'
 we are not hypocritlcal" he said and we don't say that there will be no more wars in the future. We a. believe that in any futures wars we may have, this country WNl be just, We want men in this country who will never declare war tshllv. who will use every legitimate en- deavor to prevent war, but who, nevertheless, will face war rather than dishonor, and who, when they face war, will handle themselves as their forebears have handled them selves through five victorious righteous wars"

 The Alabama legislature will be- gin a session at noon Tuesday which will continue until September 1. and probably longer. It will be the second half of the 1923 term which began IF January and recessed at the end of the sixteenth legislative day, Thirty-four legislative days remain under the provisions of the con- stitution.
 These S4 legislative days probably will be carried into 50 or more calen- dar days. It has been the practice of legislators in the past to hold ses- sions about every other day, giving the other days during the week to committees. 1t has also been the cus- tom of the lawmakers to recess Fri day or Saturday until Tuesday of the next week, thus allowing them to transact personal business at their homes.
