WILME HI REFUSES n RE CT | RS { H IP
Efforts Of Administration To. End Engraving Row,
 Fail With Him

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-(Ey As sociated Press. )--Steps were taken by the administration today to termi- nate the controversy originating from the discharge by President Harding of 30 officials of the bureau of engraving nearly two years ago.
 Reappointm as director of the bureau was rendered by Secretary Mellon to James L. Wilmeth, who was among those busted by the Presi- dents executive order, but he de- clined 10 accept the offer. The Sec retaryis action, taken after two con- ferences with Mir Wilmeth today, was accepted not only as serving to Nindicate the deposed director, but to presage a change in the administra- ton of the bureau as 1t is now con- stituted.
 Treasury officials were silent es to the next moves. but there were mai cations that NIT. Mellon desired to. place a new official at the head of the bureau, now in charge of Louis A. Hi1l. who succeeded Mir. Wilmeth.
 The offer of the place to Mir. Will meth was believed at the treasury to have brought to an end a contro- versy that grew bitter at times and which occasioned much criticism of the late President. Several attempts were made by Senator Caraway, dem ocrat, Arkansas, to put a resolution through the Senate calling upon the President for an explanation of the wholesale discharges. Adoption of the resolution was not accomplished at the last session, and MT. Caraway introduced another resolution in the present session. He agreed to with hold pressing it, however, it was said, when indications were given that ac- ton would be taken tantamount to clearing the records of the dis charged officials.

HARGETT REGRETS REPUbL|CAN SPLIT
Prohibition Director Wants Conference To Get Rival
 Wings Folded Beside Body

Describing the factional war among Alabama republicans as school boy stuff" and declaring it's continuance will menace party welfare in other southern states, Judge A. w. Hargett, recently appoinetd director of federal prohibition for the state, expressed the opinion in pointed statement Wednesday that leaders of the so- called Long and Street wings should get together without further delay and sign an armistice.
 Director Hargett is recognized, as one of the leaders of the Street fac ton. The bitter factional feud has worried him ever since he took office two months ago. He outlined his views as follows:
 This childs play has been going on long enough, and unless it is stop ped the republican party will be in jured, not only in Alabama but in other states of the south, where hard fights are being waged to break the solid democratic south in the next election.
 .'The differences which have torn Alabama republicans could quickly be adjusted if the leaders of the two factions would lay aside their bitter prejudices. With harmony prevailing the G. o, P. votes in the state would be close to lUu,UUU. tHucl pi conditions it will do well to reach 10000
 Here, the Street faction is stand ing uot for a state convention. and the Long faction Is bent on holding 8 preferential primary. The fight, in stead of showing signs of improve ment, grows more bitter. Why In the name of common sense and party pride can't the leaders rise above this kind of business and make efforts to find common ground?
 .In my judgment, the way to do this would be for the rival leaders to get together, name a committee composed of about three men from each faction, and then let the committeeman as- semb1e in Birmingham and arrange the terms of the 'armistice.'
 Unless something like this is done toon, the party, not only in Alabama. but everywhere, will be sorry" 4
 Judge Hargett explained that he was expressing his personal views and was not speaking in an official capacity. He made his comment after an Age-Herald reporter asked him what, if any effect the break be- tween G. O. P. leaders is having on the operations of the prohibition de- partment.
 "The factional fight has, in a meas ure, retarded the work of the enforce ment department" Judge Hargett ad mitted.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE BIRTH OF A NATION

The new theatric art invented by David w. Griff&th in producing "The Birth of a Nation" the United Ar lists release, which Is to be seen again in Birmingham Christmas Week, has enabled him to surpass by far any stage spectacle. Ben Hur" and "The. Blue Bird" were sup posed to be the high water mark of such production. They sink into in significance beside this epic of American history with is 5000 scenes. 1S.000 characters, 5000 riders and 100000 details, the result of eight months of tireless labor and the ex- penditure of $500,000.
 The war plays of the stage, such as Shenandoah Held by the Enemy" and Barbara Fritchie" seem tame after seeing the splendors of "The Birth of a Nation." In the Griffith spectacle the scenes of sheer beauty and strength are of Home ric grandeur. the night riding of the Ku Klux Klan looks like a company of averaging spectres sweeping along the moonlit roads There Is a pie torial punch in every scene.
 "The Birth of Nation" will be shown at the Masonic auditorium for five days, beginning with chill dren's matinee Christmas morning.

At the meeting of the Exchange club of Fairfield Wednesday consider able qualification was expressed over the report that bill had been in troduced in Congress appropriating sf00 900 for a post office building in Fairfield and a sum of $10,000 for the site.
 The club initiated the movement in June to obtain a post office building here and in this work Congressman Huddleston and Senator J. Thomas Heflin became interested.
 The post office site is expected to be selected during the early spring if the bill passes, which Is confident ly expected here The rapidity of the fact that Fairfields postal ac- tivities are now held in a store room plus the interest of the two members of Congress, are suggested as being means by which the appropriation will be secured.
 Exchange club members made it plain Wednesday they did not intend to let up on the campaign for the new federal building but would leave nothing updone which would expedite the passage of the bill and the im- It is stated postal inspectors have complained about the local building as being highly unsuited. No com munity in the state, it is argued, Is served with such an unattractive and unsuited outfit.

Federal Farm Loan Board Also Advocates Strongly
 Diversified Farming

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-CBy As- sociafed Press.)-The federal farm loan board urged the farmers of the country today to turn to diversified ton of crops and the development of cooperative marketing as "the only sound basis for agricultural pros perity."
 Easing its observations on data supplied by the 12 federal land bank presidents, who have just concluded their winter conference here, the board said in statement that con ditions in the agricultural industry showed a very satisfactory improve ment," but it felt that full advantage of the situation might not be taken by the farmers unless they diversi- fled crops and organized for their sale.
 The information furnished by the land bank officials gave evey eason, threr statement said, for the belief that the improvement noted in the past year would continue.
 Collections were described as most satisfactory in almost all sections and this was accepted as indicating that the farmers are getting on their feet financially.
 Agricultural conditions on the whole" the statement added, "con- tinue to improve. although there are sections which. on account of partial crop failure, the low price of the principal crop or scarcity of labor are not prosperious. These, of course ,in- elude only a factional part of the total farming area. The fruit grow CTS and cattle raisers appear to be the most fortunate. The wheat farm CT, on the whole, has not had pros perious year.
 There is every reason, however, to believe that this improvement will continue. The most encuoarging part of the report to the board is the tendency throughout the United States to diversity farming. It is our belief that diversirication and CO., operative marketing furnish the only sound basis for agricultural pros- perity"
