dar and prepared to go to work
at once.
Nicholas Longworth was elected
speaker of the new house.
He received the necessary majority
of all votes cast on the first ballot,

insurgents to support him.
Meantime the senate, after its GUS
tomary manner, was organizing leis-
urely and putting off its decision re-
garding the recognition to be given

Jardine Reports Farm Situation

ton-Improvement in the
agricultural situation continued in a
moderate degree throughout 1925, but
as yet farmers have not reached an
economic parity with other groups OF
producers, William M. Jardine, secre-
tary of agriculture, said in his annual
report The continued betterment Of
agriculture has reached a point, he
said, where the position of the farm.
ers on the whole is now the most ia
vorable since 1920. "The heavy net
movement of rural population away
from farms has been checked" the
secretary said in his report. Mote
worthy progress has been made in the
liquidation of Indebtedness among
farmers. Purchase of supplies and
materials for farm use has been re-
sumed over the country on scale
contributing measurably to general
business prosperity"
