SENATE IS DOUBTFUL
 WHETHER CAMPBELL REALLY DIRT FARMER
WASHINGTON BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD [ Washington. D. C.. Jnn. lD

In response to the spirit of the law President Harding named Milo D. Campbell of Coldwater, Mich, to be the dirt" farmer member of the fed eral reserve board.
 There Is a question in the minds of / the senators composing the farm bloc as to whether or not Campbell is really dirt farmer, that is, a farmer who farms and earns his liv- ing by farming.
 MT. Campbell even if a dirt farmer, is a republican politician. He has been insurance commissioner and superintendent of prisons in the state of Michigan. Likewise, he has been a deputy marshal. At present he is the head of the lobby main tained in Washington by the Milk Producers association.
 The appointment was made on rec ommendation of Senator Townsend. who was defeated for reelection chiefly because. it is generally be- lieved he voted to maintain former senator Newberry in possession of his seat, a seat which, according to the charges. was secured through a process of popular corruption.
 Senator Harrison' of Mississippi says that 1t Is apparently certain that I've ldldn't take Campbell from bstwixt tho blow handles"

The clerk instantly arose, gallantly taking the roll which had to be signed he marched the length of the legislative hall and laid 1t before Mrs. Wilkins. Applause was loud and long, and the south and it's boasted knighthcod was in the ascendant sad dle once more. The incident has been favorably commented on in Mont gomery for days.

GREAT PROGRESS IS' MADE IN DEBAT INC. CAPPER'S MEASURE.
Considerable Criticism Ex- peoted Against Lenroot-A An derson Bill Norris Plan
 to Suffer Defeat

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Such progress was made by the Senate today in the consideration of farm credits legislation that managers predicted vote tomorrow on the Capper bill, the first of the farmer relief measures to be taken up.
 The credit legislation, pending in the form of two bills, was taken up after the administration shipping bill had been laid aside temporarily by unanimous consent to make way for the farmers measures.
 It was said tonight both bills might be passed this week.
 Unanimous Vote Predicted A unanimous vote for the Capper bill was predicted by it's friends but considered criticism was promised for the complementary credits measure the Lenroot-Anderson bill. providing for federal suscription to credit de- partments of the farm loan system . to $60, ,000,00 capital.
 The Senate took action which was said to mean defeat of the Norris bill proposing a government corpor- ation to handle agricultural products. Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska, demanded that his bill, which was reported several weeks before the farm credit legislation, he taken Up first. His motion, however, was de- feated B to 1s. MT. Norris said the defeat meant the loss of his bill, but added that he expected to sup port both credit measures. Ten demo- crats and nine repubflcans-the lat ter principally of the progressive a wing-voted to give precedence to the Norris bill. Thirty eight repub licans and 15 democrats opposed the Norris motion.
 Copper Speaks
 Speeches on the credits legislation were made today by Chairman Me Lean of the banking committee which reported the two credits bills, Sen ator Capper. republican, Kansas, chairman of the Senate farm bloc, and Senator Heflin. democrat, Ala bama
 Senator Capper declared his bill would aid farmers substantially Tn obtaining long term creidts necessary for production and marketing or their products, without preventing establishment of still further credit machinery. He also announced he would support the Lenroot-Anderson government aid bill, asserting that all parties generally approved his bill and that it contained no unsound banking principles. Senator Capper said
 Tt carries with it approval of the cooperative marketing associations, . af tho assortatfoua rpureseutinE the cattle and sheep industry. of the Secretary of the Treasury, the war finance corporation and the fed cral reserve board. It represents what can be accomplished irnme- diatelv, without eontroversey and upon sound and constructive lines"
 Reading of the Capper bill for committee amendments was almost completed today.

 "Throughout the day such solemn ity and fun, tears and laughter min gied and how still was the hush, and how pretty the tribute, when Daughters of the Confectionery and their brothers drove by in automo- piles, preceded by veteran fathers. mothers and husbands.
 Dnys of sixties Recalled
 The great outstanding feature of the ball last night was the presence there of veterans in their sarbs so dear to the south; while groups of daughters appeared in colonial cos tunes. The ball was an enormous crush staged at the Exchange hotel. and attended by the general public. It's outstanding honored guests were Governor and Mrs. Brandon; Jieutcn- ant Governor and Mrs. Charles Me- Dowell. Attending, also. were a num- Der cf the wives of the Legislators, among them Mrs. R. F. Smith. Frances Green was feted guest.
 "'rhe white house of the confeder- acs." Jefferson Dav.s old home. came in for it's big share of attention dur ing the day. This old home is filled with relics of the war and various things dear to southern hearts and history.
 Among other members of the gov- ernor's family present at the inaugu- ration and it's affairs were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brandon of Anniston, MT. and Mrs. John Brandon of Montgom- cry, Mrs. James Iitts Alston of Tus- ealoosa, Mrs. Archie l.. Tyson of Montgomery, the governors daugh- ter; Frank Brandon of the univer- sity. ]. B. Elliott of Birmingham and others.
 Dr. Thomas W. Palmer. president of Montevallo college, was in attend ance, and said he felt very much en- couraged that Montevallo would be given the aid it needed to make itself an Al woman's college of the state. He Was accompanied by pr. E. C. Givhan of that city. Mrs. D. $. Brock way was distinguished guest from Livingston. and these three women from Dadeville Mrs. N. E. Miller. Mrs. J. II. Lovelace and Mrs. C. w. Lovelace.
 Historic Bible Used
 The governor took his oath on the same Bible which Jeff Davis swore shis Confederate allegiance upon. A pretty departure from the strenuous program was immediately after the inaugural speeches when in the capi- tol, reception was held at which hundreds of persons congratulated the new executive of the state and his lovely wife. The popularity of the outgoing governor MT. Kilby and Mrs, Kilby. was attested to by great applause.
 Mrs Kilby was late at the,s4uncn- con. and when she apologixed to Mrs.

Be Accomplished.

Over a thousand new homes have
been put up since 1919 and a town is
once again clustering round the Cloth

be confessed hat the new buildings
quickly got together with bricks and
mortar, have an homogeneous look be-
side what remains of the grey stone Of
the Cloth hall. Workmen are busy on
its outer walls. and the ruins are al
ready taking shape again. The Bel.

dustry and spirit one has the highest
admiration. The task begun with such

Little but Precious,

Many families have got christening
robes treasured away in some old
press or chest or trunk. Some old
English families have robes which
have historical interest. Earl Fitz-
william has, for instance, a gauze scarf,
which Is attached to the robe of the
infant at a christening. II Is reputed
to have been owned by William the
ConquerOr, and TO have been given by
him to an ancestor of the Fitzwilliams
after the battle of Hastings. Lord
Clanwilliam's family also owns the
robe worn by the duke of Kent, Queen
VictOria's father, at his christening,
II having been given to the lady who
held the royal baby, and to have
passed later into the possession of
Lord Clanwilliam's ancestors. Now
