SOUTHERN DIRT
FARMER IS
sS.s. AINNW
SOUGHT
Harding Wants Cotton States
Member for Federal
Reserve Board.
By international News Service.

President Harding is DESTROYS
and is hopeful he can find an
acceptable candidate from the
South to fill the dirt" farmer
vacancy on the Federal Reserve
Board.
Reason for Delay.
This was the reason assigned to-
day by White House officials for the
Executives. seemingly extended de-
lay in naming successor to Milo ID.
Campbell of Coldwater, Mich, who
died shortly after he was commits
stoned to office. The appointment
to this post, along with other high
untitled places, including three on
the Railroad Labor Board, now is
expected to be announced late this
week.
Since his return from Florida
Harding has been besieged by an
army of Senators, Congressman and
persons high in official life, push
ing forward candidates for the nu-
merous vacant posts. Particularly
emphatic has been the demand upon
the White House for the dirt
farmer job, highly priced in agrarian
circles in the country.
Three Are Mentioned.
Three names are most prominently
connected with the job. H. Cum
ningham Of Iowa and A. HI. Denton
and Walter H. Chappell of Kansas.
So far, however, y. few names from
the South have been called to the
Presidents attention, it was stated.
Advocacy of Denton and Chappel
offers a peculiar situation. Chap
pell is backed by Senator Capper
Republican, of Kansas. recognized
leader of the farm bloc; Denton
by the other Kansas Senator
Charles Curtis, Republican, whip.
1t is seldom the two Kansans split
or even mildly disagree, on pro
posed appointments before the
President.
With this division, Senator Cum
minis, Republican, of Iowa, and for
mer Senator .Rawson, also of Iowa
have come forward with stronf
appeal for Cunningham, president Of
the Iowa farm bureau federation
In communication TO ClInn1ini
and Rawson, Secretary Of Agricul
ture Wallace endorsed Cunning
hams candidacy, saying his ap
pointment would find favor generel
" throughout farming communi
ties.
Prefers Man from South.
While Harding has taken keen
interest in the different asp!rants
he is said to feel that the South
without representation at present
on the board, should, If possible
be given first consideration. When
w p. G. Harding, former governor
of the board, was made head of the
Reserve bank in Boston, the South's
sole member was lost. The Pres
dent then had hopes this Toss
partially could be compensated by
the selection of James G.. McNary
of Ell Paso, Tex, to the office oil
comptroller of currency, which car
ries an ex-officio membership on the
board. But the Senate did not zee
fit to confirm the nomination.
In addition, President Harding
has yet to appoint member Of the
farm loan board, and a comptroller
of currency, which, he announced in
the South, would go to Henry M
Dawes, OF Chicago, when d. r. Girls
singer, of Marion, Ohio, whose lom
ination has been confirmed, as
sumes the governorship Of the Fed
eral reserve board.

HOw's Your Pocketbook?

So, beginning April 26, if you
forget your permit, you'd better
bring your pocketbook along.
You'll need it. And you'd better
bring nice fat one, too. Be-
cause a thin one will be about as
much use to you as a flat tire.
You won't go very far on it. And
like as not you won't think very
much Of the place you'n get
stalled in. And it may take you
a long time to get back.
But what's the use Of waiting
until April 26? That's double Is.

Conference Planned to Rid Downtown

Smoke. SCOT, coal. oil and smoke
stacks will come into the limelight at
) o'clock Friday at a conference which
will take place in the office OF the
San Antonio Manufacturers Associa-
ton in the Gunter Hotel. between u
committee Of that organization and
Fire and Police Commissioner Phil

arrangement will be arrived ut where
by the SCOT nuisance can be eliminated
in the downtown section, without UNI
due hardship on the smokestack own
ers.
A smokeless. sootless city may be
difficult to obtain, but that is what
San Antonio will probably become in
the near future. The commissioner is
anxious TO cooperate with citizens
who are annoyed by smoke and SCOT,
but it was apparent when this mat
ter was first discussed at one of the
San Antonio Manufacturers meet
ins, that the proposed ordinance
would necessitate some factories and
office buildings erecting smokcstGckS
considerably higher than any building
in the city, the cost of which would
put many an industry out of bust
ness. Commissioner Wright wishes to
alleviate the nuisance without undue
inconvenience to the industries con-
ccrned.
