CENSUS OF JERSEY
TOWNS is REVISED
ASbury Park Is Given Smaller
Population in RecheCk
by Bureau.

BY the Associated Press.
The Census Bureau today announced
new population figures for 1880 at As
bury Park, N. J.-14 ,98l-and Long
Branch, N. J.--18, 399-explaining that
they were changed after a check was
made of the first figures, which in the
case of Asbury Park were considerably
larger than those announced today.
Further investigation is being made,
1t was said at the department, before a
final report on the Asbury Park matter
Is made to the Census Bureau.
Charges of padding" the census
count for Asbury Park and Long Branch
were made several weeks ago. After a
preliminary survey by Emmons K. Ellis
worth, chief of the field division of the
Census Bureau. the investigation was
placed in the hands of the Department
of Justice. 1t was charged that ASbury
Park officials employed census enumer-
ators who falsified returns and at
tempted to secure approval for these
figures from the Census Bureau.
Report by Prosecutor.
However, Philip Forman, United
States district attorney for New Jer-
sey, advised the Department of Justice
today he had found no grounds for
prosecuting Asbury Park, N. j., city
officials and census enumerators on
charges of falsifying population returns
in the 1880 census.
Announcement of the official census
count was expected at the Census Bu-
reau to bring protests from Asbury
Park. Rivalry exists between the
neighboring resort cities, 1t was said for
the title of the largest city in Mon
mouth County.
The bureau today also gave out the
revised population figures for the city
Of Houston, Tex, to be 292,349 for 1880,
as compared with 1921 in 1920.
Memphis Figure Revised.
The revised figure for Memphis,
Tenn, is given as 253, 1876, as compared
with 162,351 in 1920.
Other revisions announced by the
bureau were: Boise City Idaho, II ,546;
Twin Falls City, 8,78S; Gary, Ind, 10O.-
424; Fort Wayne, Ind, 141 ,946; South
Bend, Ind, 104.179; Santa Rosa, Calf,

MINISTER DEPLORES
LACK OF WORSHIP
Rev. Roger T. Nooe Tells Disciples
Audience It Is More Perilous
Than Atheism.

The church is not in so much peril
from stark atheism as 1t is in wor-
Shipping a little God" Rev. Roger T.
Nooe of Nashville. Tenn. said today in
his sermon at the dedication of the
choir of the New National City Church.
He declared the time has come when
we must have a great God, SUFFICIENT
for an enlarging universe, or have none
at ALL"
God will not be a luminant reality
If we think of His activities and dis
closures as being confined to day
that is gone. The lambert flame of
praise will cease to leap and sing II we
worship God Emeritus"
DR.. Nooe, who is president of the
Vines Street Christian Church in
Nashville, said the choir, which is being
dedicated, would best minister to men

Stating to his audience that he was
speaking "passionately," but that he
was mindful of the great responsibility
of the church in its benevolent work,
Mr.. Rogers said he had no confidence
in any program for benevolence that is
not specific, that is merely national
program of promotion, Fpractically
limited to holiday effort"
ut is q sad commentary on the
benevolent attitude Of the churches OF
Christ" he declared, that their offer
ings are so inadequate that year after

or more IN operating just IL benevolent
homes cannot believe that this is a

FOREIGN BOND LIST

South American Group Is

The stock market also contributed to

PRODUCTION LOANS
ARE SEENBY BOARD
U. S. Farm Agency Expects
Demand to Develop for
Finance Agencies.
BY FRANK 1. WELLER,
Farm Editor, Associated Press Feature
Raryice

Service.
It has become known unofncially that
members of the Federal Farm Board
have held informal discussions Of an
approaching demand for production
credit" a form of farm financing alien
to- the boards current practice Of loan-
ing money for marketing purposes only.
Representative Kemp of Louisians
has notified his constituents that he has
asked the board for a plan whereby ad.
vances can be made to strawberry and
vegetable growers of his district to help
meet the costs of producing their crops.
The request is considered a fore
runner of others that may result in the
board considering the use of Govern.
ment funds to help co-operatives mains
tain subsidiary finance corporations"
through which production credit may
be extended.
CO-Operatives.
Co-operatives can and some have set
I'D such subsidiaries themselves, invest
ing their capital in securities to be used
as collateral in borrowing as much a.
ten times the amount of the capital
from intermediate credit banks.
The board is brought into the picture
on the theory of growing demands for
the use of Federal funds as capital.
The board is understood to be in-
clined to restrict its activities, should
any be authorized, to finance corpora
tions the national commodity markets
ing associations might organize.
There has been some discussion OF
such subsidiary for the American Cot
ton Cooperative Association.
Crop Lien Notes.
Unquestionably Farm Board particle
patton would inject the provision that
farmers to whom production credit was
extended agree to market their crop
through the cooperative.
To secure crop lien notes they would
be requested to give, there is a proba-
bility that the board, through the Coz
operative, would request farmers to fol-
low certain cultural methods necessary
to successful production.
