idge plans with farm leaders all
over the country to formulate RENE.
dial measures for the economic
betterment Of the agricultural i'm
dustry was held at the White
House, today.
"A delegation OF farmers and
bankers from the Northwest states,
where the most insistent demands
have been made for some immediate
aid for agrarian relief, urged the
call OF a special session OF Con-
gress. They asked particularly for
passage Of legislation reviving the
United. States Grain Corporation,
with an appropriation Of $50, OOO,-
900, which, as during the war,
would take over and distribute the
entire wheat crop.
This corporation which the dele
CATION would have modelled sub
atantialIy along the lines suggested
by Secretary Wallace for & govern
mental marketing organizaDi o n !,
would tend 30 to stabilize the grain
market that prices for wheat would
increase materially, thus relieving
one Of the most distressing farm
Ills. President Coolidge was told.
The recommendation also made
by Wallace to the Cabinet to lower
freight rates on wheat and flour
tor export and to increase the
tariff on wheat were approved and
adoption was urged by the delega-
ton upon President Coolidge as
further means to alleviate what
was termed the most deplorable
agricultural situation which has
confronted the country since the
world war"
Plight In Northwest.
A sorrowful picture was painted

ruptcies among farmers are ilnmi-
nent unless something Is done at
once to stimulate agriculture and
aid the farmers
President Coolidge expressed the
keenest interest In the troubles fac
ing the farmers and told the delega-
ton that the Administration Is de-
termined to exert every available
power to find satisfactory methods
to help the farmers financially and
economically.

 At the terminus he secured taxi, and gave as direction the berth of the Caronc. He got out in the shadow of the big vessel and went along toward the gangway. There, at it's shore end, stood MT. Edgar N Smith, in company with two more men-Mr. Pin ker got behind the stanchion of a crane, for he was not ready for them yet He saw his two faithful attendants of the train follow ing him still-they were there to see the end of the adventure, he knew, and despite the splitting headache that he owed them, MT. Pinker smiled.
 A bell rang, and the familiar cry-"Any more for the shore?" came to Mir. Pinker. He stepped out from behind the stanchion, and MT. Edgar N. Smith shouted at seeing him. Mir. Pinker came forward, and raised a beckoning arm.
 At his signal the little lady from the hairdresser's, looking very neat and trim, came to him from amid the little crowd that had come to see the departure of the Ca ronic. She handed to MT. Pinker a flat leather case, which he in turn passed on to Mir. Edgar N. Smith.
 q think you'll find them all correct" MT. Pinker said.
 "But even now I don't understand why you wanted me-" the lady of the hair dress ing establishment asked.
 'It had to be somebody absolutely un- connected with either me or with the own- CTS of the stones," Mir. Pinker told her. "I got myself locked up last night to give them the impression that I still had them, and two of the party assured themselves that Smith hadn't got them on him-they got at him in the fog. Finding you in that way and finding you out of work, too-was godsend. Chance is the biggest element in life.'
 "But-meW she insisted.
 "I judge by my eyes, as a rule, and you could no more steal the Ostrolenka dia- monds than you could steal the Venus de Milo," MT. Pinker told her, land if you think you would care for this sort of thing, there's no need for you to consider yourself nut of work. I am in need of"

 After the first unpleasant saock my feel ings subsided into those of faint irritation as he continued to produce the note, pune tuating it with evenly timed intervals. Then I lauehed at him for the madman he was. What harm could that do?
 The minutes sped on. I had no idea of the time or how it passed. Then became aware that instead of the monotonous repe- tition of the sound having soporific effect on me, it was riveting my attention all the time. During the pauses was restless. followed the rise of the note to the climax, and after the crackle was over l felt a temporary sense of relief.
 He stood before me in the same position. His arms and fingers never seemed to tire, and never once did his staring eyes blink. He must have repeated it many hundred times before my evaporation began to get acute. Why could not get away from this madman and his strange, disturbing noise The pauses appeared to be less lengthy, and as the Tibertan note commenced it would clutch something in my brain and bear it up to impossible heights. It was genuine re- lief when the crackle was over.
 "Quit fooling, madman," tried to say, but the gag in my mouth permitted only a gurgle. .a

The man before me continued unmoved. Again and again he drew the bow across the strings, always producing the same sound. I watched his arm now to tell when the sound was going to begin. l anticipated it with dread. "Oh, for heavens sake, stop" I tried futilely to say. 'It's unnerving." '" But he never stopped
 Slowly, subtly, l believed he had reduced the pause until there was no more of it. But, no, according to my eyes his arm still con- tinued to rest the six seconds. My brain then was repeating the note to itself in the brief silence, like an echo. Would his arm never tire? Would he never cease?
 On it went. Sigh, scream, crackle. But those three words of varying sounds cannot describe the horror of it. Five to the min ute, five periods of intense annoyance, if not pain, five dull repetitions in my brain. And on, on, it went.
 l was becoming angry, uselessly, wildly angry. The note was beginning to scratch the diaphragms of my ears like red-hot needle; it was burning itself into my brain. "Is there something in it?" I began to ask myself. twill it really send me blind?" Mad certainly he would drive me eventually.
 Sigh, scream, crackle, always, endless it seemed in the air. "Oh, God," prayed frenziedly, "cause him to stop" His arm

The lady behind the cash desk beamed on MT. Pinker, and he passed her to be nearly hit in the face by the door of the telephone box; he started back, and faced dainty little lady whose hair fell loose over her shoulders.
 There's no reply" she said despairingly. 'This telephone service-Oh!" as she real ized that it was a man facing her. Then with little laugh-"I beg your pardon, but I'm in such troublev'

 She shook her head. q was going back to dress-Ive brought nothing I could leave.''
 'I think-perhaps I- he suggested delicately.

 .T shall be only too happy to offer my services,'' said MT. Pinker.
 He emerged from the hairdre ssing estab- lishment half an hour later, and stood in the lighted doorway, swaying visibly; the fog had thinned, and from the opposite side of the street two men, chatting to- gether, could see him. He stood, swaying in that drunken fashion, until policeman loomed through the late afternoon gloom, and then he lurched forward into the street, cannoning into the policeman.
 "Now then," said the representative of the law Look where you're goin'."
 "D'shgrashful pleeshman drunk - "Gerrout way, conshbl-report you drunk"
 He staggered, made grab at the police mans arm and collapsed on the pavement The policeman gathered him up, with diff ficulty. "You come along O me-" he bade.
 "Leggow MT. Pinker bawled, loudly. "Got go Liverpool tmorrow."
 "Never you mind about Liverpool you come along O me-" the policeman ordered, and began conveying his capture.
 Two men followed all the way to the police station, and saw MT. Pinker safely inside. Then they stood and gaped at the entrance for time, and finally one moved
