at all. If visions Of her required
to him, they were Of her white
oval face and masses Of dark,
chestnut hair lying in the crook
OF his elbow, her lips waiting for
his kiss. More than once he
stopped in the hot shadows of the
silent orchards, closed his eyes and
let his memory carry him back to
the felicity of that moment. It
would be wonderful to do it again,
he told himself. It was on that
thought his mind fingered, not
upon the girl. Upon these reflec-
tons his emotions rose like q tide,
sending his blood racing to
temples and finger-tips. It brought
back the exuberance of the early
morning. It was splendid to be
alive; it was marvellous to be
young. With it all there was a
sensation Of triumph, of success,
OF glorious masterfulness. He had
achieved something.
Mechanical Mood.
All afternoon he wrestled with
the mechanical intricacies of the
gasoline engine which operated the
irrigating pump. He enjoyed the
task; it fitted in with his humor.
His inventiveness and determina-
ton were aroused and when, with
the aid Of some sealing wax and
a homemade gasket of packing
paper, he stopped the air-leak in
the cylinders, and the engine ran
smoothly again, he could have
clapped his hands and danced like
a boy.
The mood was still upon him as
he came down from the pump
house, and followed the irrigating
ditch to where the bridge crossed.
It was the shortest way back to
the house and he was anxious to
get home and have a cold bath
before supper. A heavy pipe
cutting tool and chain hung from
his shoulder, his shirt and pants
were daubed with engine oil from
his work and his bare forearms
were streaked with grease His
head and neck were bare, his
hair tumbled and matted upon
his forehead. AS he strobe along,
he swung his torn and faded
straw hat back and forth, and

LIBERTY is PREDICTED
FOR WAR-LAW VIOLATORS

WASHINGTON, December H.
Representative Berger, socialist,
Wisconsin, after a conference Mon
day with President Coolidge, SAID
he had reason to believe that all Of
the 80 imprisoned violators of war
laws would be granted amnesty be-
fore Christmas by the president.
The Wisconsin representative
called at the White House to pre-
sent a personal plea for amnesty.
President Coolidge this week will
receive from the department of JUS
tice the report of the special COM
mittee of three to inquire into the
general question of release of war
law violators. The report will be
accompanied by outline of the
views of the department of justice.
While it has been held in closest

several days among those appealing
for amnesty that the committee
consisting of Newton D, Baker
former secretary of war: .MaiQI
General James G. Hartford, retire,
and Bishop Brent of the Episcopa
church, had reported favorably up
on the question of amnesty.

RIGHT To CAPTURE
SHIPS With BOOZE

Professor Ellery c. Stowell, of the
faculty of the American University,
is one of the greatest authorities on
admiralty law. This fact is recog.
nized the world over. He says that
under international law the United
States has every right to take into
custody vessels which are not pre-
vented by their own nations from
lowering just outside the three-mile
limit and there forming a base of sup
ply for American boot-leggers.
Professor Stowell believes the Unit
ed States ought to assert the right
to defend this vital interest against
other nations even though they may
believe that their "vital interests are
concerned with preventing the ex-
tension of this reform to their own
territory and with breaking it down
in own country"
when a country makes such a ire
mendous change in its institutions
as we have in adopting the Eigh-
| teenth Amendment, it would be har9
to find anything of more vital interes:
to the people than the upholding o!
that law" said Professor Stowell N

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 IN orderly way the products Of
the farm. 1t is an effort by Congress
to meet a need which has bee MELT for
at least fifty years. The act may 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 intermedi-
ate credit adapted to farm conditions
and farm needs. Also it should bring
about a reduction in the interest rate
which farmers must pay for money
borrowed.
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 IN
der government supervision for maxi
ing 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 present
time the country is divided into IL
districts, and in each Of these districts
there is a federal land bank which
makes land mortgage loans, these IL
banks being directed by a central
federal farm loan bureau in Wash
ington. In connection with each OF
these land banks there is to be estae-
lished an intermediate credit bank
located in the same city with the land
bank and under the supervision Of the
officers and directors of the LAM
bank. The federal government sup
plies each of these intermediate
credit banks with a capital of not &c
exceed SIS, O00, 900. These interme.
date credit banks are authorized tc
discount farmers notes which have
been taken by banks and other fin
