FARMERS DISCUSSING
 PROBLEMS WITH CAPITAL
Regional Conference in Harrisburg Considering Surplus and
 Transportation

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 23 Pl- Surplus and transportation of farm products were among the subjects for discussion at today's session of regional conference of farmers and other business men represent ing New York, New Jersey. Penn sylvania, Maryland. Delaware and West Virginia. The conference was called by the Chamber of Con- merce of the United States. cooper ating with member chambers, to analyze local and regional agricul- tural problems.
 Much of the session yesterday was devoted to discussion on taxation, credit and labor and production costs. That farmers and other solution of taxation problems was urged by number of the speakers as means of wiping out any existing inequalities between assessments in rural and urban communities.
 The conference, generally. was agreed that the proximity of large industrial centers to the farming regions in the eastern section of the country made it difficult for the farmer to obtain help and to com- pete with wages paid in manufac- turing plants.
 As means of stabilizing their credit farmers were urged to keep a set of books which they would be ale to show to bankers from whom credit was sought. This. it was point ed out. would put the farmer on an equal footing with other business men.

He gave widely to charities, but
so concealed them that many of his
good deeds were not known to the
public. The beautiful floral tributes
given at the time of his death, and
the many letters of sympathy and
coincidence received by Mrs. Farms

her bereavement, and bring to her
knowledge of the high esteem and
affection in which he was held by all
who knew him.
He has gone, but the memory Of
his large, true life abides. The

with the memory of his hearty greet

in times of sorrow, and his upright

Do you suffer nagging backache?
Feel dizzy, nervous and depressed?

Likely your kidneys are at fault.
Weak kidneys give warning. You

You feel weak, tired, all worn-out.
Heed the warning. Don't delay!
Use Doans Pills-a stimulant di-
uretic to the kidneys.
Thousands recommend DOan's.
Here's an example:
L. E. Bunker, Star Route, Frank
lin, Me-, says: 81 had constant,
dull ache across my kidneys and
mornings my back was stiff and
lame. At times when I stopped and
then tried to straighten, sharp
