should cultivate In school in order to
become successfully flt for the bust

of more than score of Chicago's
biggest business men and employers

BELT Asst
Belfast Man Has Charge
Setting MasOn's Monument

Citizens of Belfast have personal
interest In the splendid memorial
to Washington which the Masons OF
the United States are building in
Alexandra. as Belfast man, Joseph
Burgess of Union street, has charge
of the setting of the granite, and has
recently completed the foundation.
The entire building will be made of
pink granite from the duarrles OF the
Maine and New Hampshire Corpora
ton, situated at Redstone, N. H.,
while the interior finish will be from
qunrries in the same town, but of a
beautiful green.
1t 10 rather d queer coincidence that
Mr.. Burgess should have been select
ed for this big job by the company
with whom he has been for % years.
for he went to Washington 50 years
ago as an apprentice and worked on
the famous Congressional Library
building, than which there Is no finer
granite building in the world, 1t il
said. The library was built OF Con-
cord, N. H., granite. Another Job on
which this Belfast man has worked
was Grants Tomb, on Riverside
Drive. New York, built of Maine
granite. When lie had been in Wash
ington but two days on this present
toh. an cd darby some 10 odd years
old recognized him and called the
attention of one of the inspectors 70
him saying BOSS. Brown does you
know dis rnan? When Mr.. Brown
said that he d.d not the cid darky
said 20 yes you does. boss, he work
wild you on de Gle library, sure" And
sure enough both men had been on
the toe together 3. years ago and
the old darkey remembered them
even though they had forgotten each
other.
The setting Of the granite in this
mammoth memorial is no small job
and as fast as one portion is built,
the derricks have TO be placed on the
top in order 10 hoist .he big pillars
and granite blocks into place. The
granite is cut and finished in the
sheds at Redstone and shipped to
Alexandria to he put into place.
So much has been written about
the memorial that practically every
one knows that it will cost approx
mately $4,000. 900 when completed. II
Will be 230 feet long. 100 feet wide

Hospitals Need
Clergy on Call

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. ia. P)-
Hospitals should increase their ef.
ficiency by making definite provision
for the presence of one or more re-
ligious leaders in the institution to
visit the sick and to conduct chapel
services, said the Rev. Wilson E.
Donaldson of Chicago, chaplain in
the Cook county hospital, represent
ing the Christian Endeavor societies,
in an address today before, the
American Hospital association, in
convention here
Spiritual ministry turns the
thoughts OF patients to God and
away from themselves and their ILL
ness" Rev. Mr.. Donaldson asserted.
when persons become sick a large
number are prone to become discour.
aged. With insufficient courage TO
endure stress and strain. the chances
of recovery for the patient arc un-
certain. because his mental condition
keeps him from responding as fully
to the efforts of physicians and
nurses as would be the case If all fret
and worry could be eliminated.
Religion should have definite
place in the conduct Of every hos
pital. for hospitals can and do per-
petuate the work of Christ"
The hospital as 1t is known today
bears complex relationship to the
lives Of the people in its neighbore
hood. more complex perhaps than
| even the school or the church as rich
and poor alike are its beneficiaries."
said Miss Mary A. Baker of Benning-
ton, Vermont, in another address.
There can be no community work
worthy of the name unless the COM
munity itself IL alive to the exis-
tence. needs and advantages of its
hospital" she declared.
Miss Minnie Goodnow- of the Chill.
dren's Hospital, Washington, d. c.,
urged physicians and nurses to study
the patients psychology.
Getting the patients viewpoint is
the key to success" Miss Goodman
| said. This is not easy but must be
striven for. The Golden Rule is
ideal but is not workable without
| ina gination. Only a. constant re-
minder of How would you like it
yourself can assure us of being able
to render satisfactory service"
The subject of safe investments for
endowed funds was discussed by the
trustees.

Secretary Wallace Discusses
Operation OF Farm Credit Act

A delegation OF senator's and repre-
sentatives called upon Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace Saturday to dis
cuss the operation OF the new farm
credit act. Following their visit the
Secretary issued the following:
Questions are being asked as TO the
operation OF the new credit law,
known as the Agriculture Credits Act
of 1923, and the relation between the
credit facilities provided in this act
and existing institutions, such, for
example, as the War Finance Cor
poration and the Federal Warehouse
Act.
The Agricultural Credits Act does
not in any way interfere with the
functioning of the War Finance Cor
poration. The life of the War Fin
ance Corporation was extended TO
February %, 1924, for the very pur-
pose OF making sure that there should
be no restriction of credit facilities to
the farmer during the period required
10 build up the machinery necessary
under the Agricultural Credits Act.
The War Finance Corporation has
ample funds and nothing has been
done to limit its work.
Title l of the Agricultural Credits
Act provides for the establishment of
a Federal intermediate credit hank in
each of the twelve Federal land bank
districts. These new banks will be
managed by the directors and officers
OF the existing land banks. Immedi-
ately upon the passage of the act the
Federal Farm Loan Board called TO
washington the presidents of the land
banks from the twelve districts and
tor a week they have been making
plans to start the intermediate credit
banks. Each has capital of five mil
ZION dollars and therefore can begin
loaning as quickly as the organization
can be perfected. These intermediate
credit banks are authorized to dis
count and purchase notes given to
banks for agricultural and live stock
purposes. Also they can make loans
direct to cooperative associations on
the basis of warehouse receipts or
mortgages on live stock.
"A local bank which has loaned
money to its farmer customers for
agricultural purposes and has taken
their notes for the loans can discount
these notes with the intermediate
credit banks. 1t is not necessary that
he notes so discounted should have
back OF them chattel mortgages or
warehouse receipts The intermedi-
ate banks can give terms of credit
ranging from six months to as much
as three years,
