EASY Money FOR
AID OF FARMERS
Such a Period Now Is Being
Experienced

Washington. Aug. s (UP)-The
government has established an "eary
money" period to stimulate general
business and aid farmers at the crop
moving season.
Federal reserve banks at New
York, Boston, Kansas City and st.
Louis have reduced their discount
rate to IL per cent on all classes
of paper. Similar cuts are expected
in other federal reserve districts.
Treasury officials today said the
lower money rates would be a great
boon to farmers who failed to keep
pace with other businesses in post
war reconstruction. The lower re-
discount rate assures better terms
when borrowing money.
There has been an unusual bust
ness complex during the first half
Of 1927, it was pointed out. Manu-
facture, production, mining, invest
ments, big dividends and insurance
have increased. At the same time
per cent more than in the first half
of 1926.
The lower re-discount rate will
prove a factor in rehabilitating the
flood-swept Mississippi valley. Mon
ey borrowed for reconstruction
work and agricultural purposes will
be freer and cheaper.
The government also stands to
profit by the easier money market.
The reduction gives the treasury an
advantage in retiring the 4 IL per
cent second liberty loan bonds
which have been called in. and also
will be advantageous in retiring the
S2,147. 100000 of third liberty loan
bonds which mature next year.
1t was also pointed out that the
reduction was partly aimed to give
wider use to American gold abroad,
as the English rediscount rate is
one per cent higher. Government
statistics, however, show clearly that
gold continuous to flow to the
United States despite the disparity
in rates.

CHAMPION

La Barba of Los Angeles. is stiN
flyweight champion Of the world
today. despite the best efforts of
Mike Brody. Peoria challenger.
La Barba last night treated St.

exhibition seen here in many years
with his slashing 10-round victory
over Brody. The bout was staged
at the University of st. Louis ath-
ietic field.
While La Barba's title was theor-
etically at stake the fight was a
farce when considered as a cham
pionship bout. The Los Angeles
flyweight took every round by a
wide margin and had Brody on the
verge of a knockout several times.

] D n { s LIKELY
To GO ABROAD

Bobby Jones' participation in the
British open materially would en-
nance Americas chances of retain
ing the famous trophy. which has
been away from the United States
on only one occasion, for a year,
since 1921.
It is generally believed that
the only other leading Ameri-
can players who expect to COM
pete this year are Jim Barnes
and Joe KirkwOOd.
The former American amateur and
open champion, who recently lost the
latter crown to Tommy Armour,
Congressional professional, at Oak
mont. previously had announced
definitely that he would not return
to England this summer to defend
the championship, but it is now said
he has reconsidered this decision
and probably viii cable his intentions
tomorrow. so that his formal entry
will be in by July /, the closing date
for the lists.

NARYAA AND
RACE MAN
0IJ5TED

The lid was lifted from a row IN
Maryland State racing circles yes
terday with the announcement thai
Bradley Carr, chief inspector for
the Maryland racing commission at
4 salary of SO 5a day, was ousted
by the commission at meeting in
Baltimore last Saturday.
Carr announced today he will file
charges of misconduct in office
against James A Latane, chairman
of the commission, and Jervis Spen.
Ger. jr., the other Democratic mem
Der, before Governor Richie. He
personally protested his dismissal
to the Governor yesterday.
He will charge, he said, that
the Havre de Grace race-track
paid $4,000 a year during the
eight years of the commissions
existence to a prominent Demo
cratic leader in Baltimore. and
failed to pay the State its Is
per cent "cut" OF this sum as
part of the net receipts of the
track.
The Laurel track, he declared,
was allowed to make a deduction
from it's taxable income for repairs
larger than the sum actually spent,
this also reducing the amount the
track paid the State in taxes. At
the time he declared, an official of
the commission was candidate for
the presidency of this track, made
vacant by the death of Spalding
Lowe Jenkins,
He absolved John r. Mudd, Re-
publican member of the commits
sion, from any blame, and said
none of his charges will concern
the Pimlico or Bowie tracks.
His dismissal Saturday was fol-
lowed by row at the commission
offices Monday, he asserted, when
he called for a conference. When
commission members wished to talk
to him privately he declared, and
sought to bar James F. Hayward,
secretary, and girl stenographer,
he refused to confer with them.
The ousting of Carr caused a
sensation in political circles. A
resident Of Montgomery county,
when he was appointed chief in
spector of the commission at its
formation seven years ago he is
said TO have had the Endorsement
of f. Brooke Lee. of that county
until recently Secretary of State
under Richie.
Iatane today declined to
name the exact grounds for the
dismissal, although il was init
mated a number of informal
complaints have been made
against Carr. Latane said:
"No formal charges have been
made against Mr.. Carr. We mott
fled him Saturday that his services
as chief inspector have been dis
pensed with.
His successor will be named at
the proper time, and we hope to
he able to obtain the services OF
an inspector more satisfactory ia
the commission and to the interests
of the sport than was Mr.. Carr
Carr's duties are to direct the
force of inspectors keeping general
supervision over the conduct OF
racing at the track, except the mu
tuel betting feature. His salary Of
$3S day is effective only on rae
ing days, which this year number
ninety:two or total for the year
OF .$3,22O, Chairman Latane said
he has no other connection with

Reports were in circulation thai
