COMMITTEE FAVORS
RAISING CAPITAL OF
BANKS $12S,00,000
Added Amount Would Be for
Granting Postponements on
Farm Mortgages

Washington, Dec. 26.-H The
house bill to increase the capitaliza-
ton Of federal land banks by $780,
000,0 900 would be increased to $685.
100000 under q senate banking sub
committee decision Saturday. The
added amount would be designated
especially for granting postponements
on mortgage installments due from
farmers.
Chairman Carey, Republican, Wyo-
ming, said the subcommittee would
report the measure favorably with
this amendment.
The report to the full committee
will be made after a final executive
session on Monday at which the
language Of the revised bill will be
formally approved.
Senate passage of the measure is
certain. It was recommended by
President Hoover at the opening Of
the session. It is designed to
strengthen the land banks, thus facil-
itating credit for farmers.
AS passed by the house. the land
bank measure would authorize the
banks at their discretion to extend
mortgage payments over a f~ive-year
period.
The senate redraft differs in that
it provides 81, 0o0, 900 for this pur-
pose.
The amendment was drafted by
Chairman Carey after conferences
with other senator's and after Sena-
tor Steiwer, Republican. Oregon, had
called attention to reports that the
farm loan board was employing a
harsh foreclosure policy.
Chairman Carey said he would seek
to have the measure put before the
senate Immediately on the reconven-
ing of congress Jan. 4.
1t probably will get senate atten-
ton in advance of the other big
economic rehabilitation measure pro-
posed by the president-the $500, OO0,-
600 reconstruction finance corpora
ton. Those who favor bringing up
the land bank bill first point out
there will probably be much less dis
cussion on it than on the finance
corporation.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER g., 1881
NEW STAGE SCENERY
AIDS CHRISTMAS PLAY
Why the Chimes Rang Is Ef.
tective'y presented by Com
munity Players

The qualities of service and sacri-
flee, characteristic Of the truest OBJ
servance of Christmas, we're emulated
in the play, why the Chimes Rang
given by the Community Players
Christmas day at the city auditorium
as their contribution to the holiday
festivities. A packed house greeted
both afternoon and evening programs.
Stage settings were one of the nota-
BILE features of the entertainment.
Without the two new sets of scenery
made expressly for the occasion, it
would have been impossible to have
produced the striking cathedral scene
or to have provided the proper atmos-
phere for the first scene of the play.
This scenery is a tribute to the in
genuity and artistic ability of men,
bers Of the Players. The construction
work and painting was done by Harry
Pilmoor, Bruce Doyle and George
Smith.
AS the story unfolded, it showed
Holger BILLY Corwin), a peasant lad,
remaining home from the services at
the great cathedral, to care for a sick
old beggar woman (Clarice Belk) who
had come to their fireside to keep
warm. His brother, Steen (Rcbert
King and uncle, Bertel CHarold
Shaft had gone to the church to
watch while the gifts were presented.
Holger's desire to do something to
show his love for the Christ Child is
so great that he receives a vision of
the cathedral and is permitted to
place his few pennies on the altar.
AS he does this the chimes peal out
in triumph to show that the perfect
gift has been received.
Others in the cast besides those
named were Emery Putnam as the
priest; Myron Anderson as the rich
man; Margaret Fulnler as the rich
woman; /. G. Davies as the sage: John
Stirling as the king, and Mrs. Frayne
Baker as the angel. Harold Shaft
also took the part of the courtier.
The play was in one act. with three
scenes. The talking part was con-
fined to the first scene. In the ca
thedral scene 1t took on the grandeur
Of q pageant, as one by one the char
acters entered and placed their gifts
IN the altar. Christmas hymns and
carols sung by a hidden choir, and
organ music played by Clarion Lar
son aided in producing the desired
effect.
Members of the choir were Edith
Guthrie, Vivian Coghlan, Iris
Schwartz, Rachel Johnson, Rev. o.
s. Rindahl, Carvel johnson and Lo-
renzo Belk. Mr.. Belk also sang "The
People That Walk in Darkness from
The Messiah" as a solo before the
performance.
A preliminary program of Christ
mas music was played by all orchestra
made up of Jane Smith, Evelyn FL
lingson. Dorothy Petron. Vivian Cogh-
Ian, Mr.. Larson. William Mueller,
| James Hyland and Evan Kennedy.
The play was directed by Miss Har-
riet Rust. with Miss Louise Johnson
as her assistant. Mi. Larson was in
charge of the music.
Another production by the Com
munity Players is scheduled for the
latter part Of January. 1t was an
nounced. Work OH it will start soon
after the New Year.
