STOCKHOLDERS SAY
FACTS ARE Held Up
Federal Farm Loan Bank People
Complaining

New York, Feb. Is (UP)-"Farm-
ers who own as millions of stock in
the IL land banks of the Federal
Farm Loan system are worse oft
than stockholders in any other re-
putable enterprise in the United
States" charges Huston Thompson,
former mellber of the federal trade
commission, in an article appearing
in the current issue Of the magazine
Farm and Fireside.
Thompson based his statement
on the assertion that the 100000
farmer stockholders in the land
banks receive no annual report
without solicitation and that the
only report furnished under any
circumstances is the one addressed
10 congress Jumping the assets and
liabilities OF the Il banks and
showing nothing exactly concerning
the individual bank in which the
stakeholder is interested.
This 50 page congressional re-
port does not give separately fl
nancial statements showing the eX-
act condition of each land bank
although complete separate state
ments are necessary to judge the
welfare of the system" said
Thompson.
'Sincc the farm loan is so or
ganized that the liabilities or losses
of one bank are in the end the
liabilities and losses of the other
IL, every stakeholder las a right
to demand this information. Every
investor in farm loan bonds would
be protected by such publicity.

nation of essential information was

Premier'S Drive on Communism
Becoming intensified

Santiago, Chile, Feb. IS up -
Stern methods are being continued
by Premier Ibanez to wipe out COM
munism from Chile and to elimin-
ate opposition to the government. A
number of persons were added yes
terday to the list of more than 100
previously arrested or ordered to
leave the country. Although the list
is being kept secret, it is known to
be made up mostly of communist
congressman and labor leaders in
various parts OF the country. Three
communist newspapers have been
shut down.
Many of those against whom ac-
ton has been ordered are taking
steps to fight it on the ground that
the premier is acting unconstitution-
ally.
Manuel Rivas Vicuna, chief of the
late cabinet, who has been ordered
deported because of alleged agitation
against the present government, has
obtained a decision by the supreme
court suspending the order until the
court has time to decide its consti-
tutionality. The government has been
notified to present its reasons for de-
handing Vicuna's deportation.
Evidence of the governments de-
termination to free itself of bother
some opposition, in addition to
stamping out communism, is seen in
the arrest OF Rafael qomucio, direc-
tor of the conservative newspa per
Diario Ilustrado. He has always
fought communism bittery, but is
just as steadfast in his opposition to
General Ibanez.

trimming touch to the backed
gown. Pearl chokers with grad
uated strands of pearls hanging at
the rear of the neck are also being
worn by many.
The woman who must wear a
brassiere has difficulty in wearing
the gown which exposes the entire
back since there can be no straps
showing at the rear. However, this
is overcome by brassiere and panty
combinations which have front
panels. fitted in bust-shape extend
ing upwards from the front waist
line with shoulder straps placed
well out on the shoulders extending
down the sides of the back where
they attach to the panty waist
band. These leave the back exposed
but give sufficient bust support in
front.
Nightgowns also follow the U-back
neckline. Bathing suits with deep
U-shaped backs are being worn by
the fashionables at Palm Beach at
present and these permit one to get
sunburned evenly SO that one can
wear low-cut evening gown without
showing signs of ugly high water
marks. One-piece jersey suits arc
slashed in U-shape and outlined in
silk braid and since low necked
suits are not ready made one must
roll ones own.

U-BACk Seems TO
BE FORMAL STYLE
Women Of Fashion Adopting
This Mode

New York, Feb. IS UP)-If
you'd be viewed, be U-ed in back!
For in keeping up a front in eve
ming styles one must have a pretty
back displayed by a low U-shaped
neckline.
The U-back, cut almost as low as
the normal waistline, is indeed the
favorite decollete of the moment.
Front necklines are not extremely
low and may be rounded, V-shaped,
square or made in medium U-Shape.
Where youth wears the deep U-back,
horizontal straps of beadwork de-
tract from the nude back effect.
Matrons. however, find the low
neck-line without strapping more
becoming to their figures since their
backs are usually well worth dis
playing.
Fringe outlines the U-backs of
many new gowns and is usually re-
peated in some manner on the skirts
to give the animated effect that is
Endorsed this season. Many women
wear long pearl necklaces knotted
at the back of the neck with ends
hanging down the back as this adds

The record of controversial votes,
as compiled by the United Press,
shows that on one important occa-
sion only did they cast their ballots
in opposite directions. This was
upon the Shepard bill TO continue the
federal maternity act for an addi-
tional experimental period of one
year. Senator Reed voted against
continuance and Senator Walsh in
/, favor.
Both senators have strict party
records, the compilation shows
Both voted to drop the impeachment

firm UNDERTONE
ON STOCK MARKET
Call Money Rate However, Goes
Up Half Per Cent

New York, Feb. % up - Mixed
price movements, rejecting the play
of opposing speculative forces. again
characterized today's stock market
but the undertone generally was
firm. The presidential veto of the
McNary-Haugen bill was favorably
commented upon by several broker
age houses, but was without appar-
ent effect on stock speculation. Call
ing of about S1G.000,0 600 in loans,
incidental TO month-end demand for
funds, sent the call money rate from
TO A 4 per cent and had a ten
dency to stimulate profit taking in
recent strong spots.
The closing was firm. Selected
stocks continued to rise in the final
hour regardless of five per cent
money rates. DUPONT, International
Combustion. Bayuk Cigars, Eastman
Kodak and Houston Oil advanced 3
to 5 points. Total sales approx
mated 100000 shares.
New York, Feb. o5 lP)-Further
irregularity developed at the open
ing of today's stock market. Ameri-
can Car e Foundry, Allied Chemical,
Mack Trucks, Dupont, and all Amer
lean cables showed early gains Of
point or more, the last-named touch
ing a new high on the announcement
of details of the proposed merger
with the International Telephone &
Telegraph company. Houston Oil
yielded point on the first sale.
Extensive readjustment of specu-
latiye accounts was regarded as
natural after more than four weeks
of almost steadily rising prices.
Maintenance of the 4 per cent reds-
count rate by the New York Federal
Reserve bank occasioned little sur
prise as hopes of an early reduction
were practically abandoned two
weeks ago. Contrary price move
ments occurred in the same group of
stocks, Crucible Steel rising to a new
high above 81 on the announcement
of new steel hardening process
whole L. S. Steel common lost
ground. Similarly, Baldwin and Cen

sweeping crude oil price cuts. Hous-
ton Oil, after sagging over a point 10

Voting RECORDS
OF TWO Senators
Walsh and Reed Comparisons
Are Interesting

Washington, Feb. IS IUP)-The
voting records of Senator James A.
Reed, democrat, Missouri, and Sena-
tor Thomas J. Walsh, democrat,
Montana, regarded by some as the
two leading senatorial possibilities
for the democratic presidential nom
nation in 1923, shows that during
the first half of this short session Of
congress they have voted similarly in
most instances.
OF course, Senator Reed is a wet
and Senator Walsh a dry, but no
prohibition issues developed during
the first half of the session upon
which they differed.
