FARMER CREDIT
BILL Up NEXT
MONDAY
Banking and Currency Com
mittee Continues Work Of
Redrafting Measure.

~
Despite the demands Of the Farm
bloc" it appeared certain today
that the agriculture credit legislas
ton passed by the Senate would
not be laid before the House until
next week.
The House Banking and Currency
Committee today continued its work
on re-drafting the Lenroot-Ander-
son and Capper bills, and according
to Congressman McFadden Rep.l Of
Pennsylvania, the committee chair
man, would have the composite bill
ready for the House by Monday.
This bill extends the facilities and
benefits OF the farm loan banking
system to livestock producers and
farmers by providing for discounting
their nine months paper, continues
the War Finance Corporation Tor
another year to permit it to give
producers assistance in marketing
their products, and strengthens the
farm land banks by permitting them
to rediscount six months paper with
the Federal reserve bank.
To this measure the House Bank.
ing and Currency Committee had
added provisions from the Lenroot'
Anderson bill limiting to per cent
the rediscount rates, extending finan-
cial help to cooperative marketing
associations, and authorizing loans
to cotton and other farm products
factors.
With these extensions OF the beYle.
fits Of the farm loan banking system
the House Banking and Currency
Committee feels it has offered to
farmers all the financial assistance
and facilities needed by them to en-
courage production by affording help
in marketing under favorable condi.
tions. 1t is not contemplated at this
time by the committee to bring forth
the Lenroot-Anderson rural credits
bill, another measure passed by the
Senate, because the bill is not ap.
proved by the committee and Is con-
demned by Secretary Mellon and
Treasury experts.

Ice Knowledge

"Have you ever stopped to
think what a difference in our
comfort and in our health ice
makes? In the ice box the butt
ter is hard, the milk sweet and
cool, the lettuce crisp and ten
der, the dessert firm and meat
for the dinner doesn't spoil. E..
We all take this as a matter of
course, without thinking where
the ice came from. Perhaps it
is a part of the covering of the
pond or river over which you
skated last winter-perhaps it
was frozen last week in the
building you see on the hill"

Cadets" Net Women.
The pitiful victims of the under
world who answer what they try to
think is the lure of the bright
lights, are caught first in the hide
GUS net that eltangles them-by the
use Of dope.
The cadet doesn't take much pains
to keep his poor slaves working for
him these days-he catches her
with cocaine and holds her helpless
and friendless, with morphine and
heroin.
In Santa Rosa, Cal, the authorities
are investigating today persistent
story that the childrel of the beau
tiful little city are being tempted
into drug a0QlctlOn.
Chief of Police Matthews of Santa
Rosa says that three or four students
from the University of California
have been visiting Santa Rosa and
getting new dope customers among
the high school boys.
Clear up your minds, speed up
your memories, get high marks in
your classes. It's easy-just take a
sniff of cocaine" That's what these
students told the high school boys,
according to reports turned In to
Chief Of Police Matthews.
What is the object in all this?
Just the plain old-fashioned object
of moneymaking, that's all.
Any big dealer will pay a good COM
mission to any one who will get him
new customers. Why not?
= The habit spreads like any loath-
some plague, and one high school boy
in one little city or small town has
been known to bring in fifty others
In less than six months.
In Chicago, the school teachers
have formed society for the con.

pupils.

And the whole people behind him

international agreement is the
great solution for the world
there's no getting around that; but
while we're waiting for the
other nations to see their peril
why not take our own boys
and girls and our own homes
and our own families under our
own protection and regulate the
control of dope in the United States
of America as it is not regulated
and controlled anywhere else on
earth?

Shows Liquids in Stomach OF

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Feb.
IA unique use for Horoscope,
that part of an x-ray apparatus
that enables the examiner to watch
the organs of the body in operation,
has been discovered by a Colorado
College student whereby the weary
path of the lovelorn may be smoothed
or at least all doubt Of the exist
ence of true love" removed.
The student discoverer Of the love
machine" declares that he holds the
key to the most intricate OF love
mysteries.
With a Horoscope, it is claimed.
the action of drink of buttermilk
or grapejuice can be readily noted
in it's course down the canals ot
the body. An important part or
the Horoscope examination lies i'll
the fact that sudden excitement-a
love palpitation, for instance--Will
cause the swallowed liquid to act
in an unusual manner.
Therefore, says the inventor stu.
dent, place the lady alleged to be
in love behind the fusoscope; give
her a swallow of some connection,
and after the last drop has passed
her dainty lips speak the name OF
the man in the case and
If the drink continues its true
course to the stomach she Is not
In love with him. But
If the mixture acts strangely. not
to say rudely, and does a little
suffering on the way through the
canals, you can be sure that Cupid
Is on the job.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The dis
trict attorney of New York county
has estimated that in the last fiji
teen months more than 100000. 900
has been lost by American investors
through bucket shops, stock swim
dies and stock brokers' bankrupt
cies. At present no less than 1872
New York stock brokers are in
technical bankruptcy, with the
prospect that little or nothing wifi
be paid to creditors.
1t is obvious that the most i'm
portant weapon with which to COM
bat the crook and the swindler is
education and enlightenment on the
important matters of finance and
investment. The principal function
of the courts Ia to punish wrong do
ing after it has been committed,
but how much more important is it
to prevent wrong doing or to re-
move the possibilities for crimes
against society.
Some time ago in this depart
ment we advocated closer co-opera-
ton between investors and local
bankers, all OF whom are men of
broad common sense, we'll able to
detect a fraud and always willing
to give their advice when solicited.
