credit needs Of agriculture at minimum
cost"
A bill establishing $500 900 600
fund for direct aid to States in caring
for the unemployed was prepared for
introduction on the Presidents behalf
by Senators Wagner, Democrat, of New
York, Costigan. Democrat. Of Colorado,
and La Toilette, Republican, of Wis
consin.
Consolidation OF farm credit agencies
Is the basis of Mr Roosevelt's program
for reflnancing farm mortgages also
to 60 to Congress this week.
Second Step in Plan.
The unemployment relief fund Is the
second step in Mr.. Roosevelt's three
part plan to help the jobless. The
first phase. q plan to put $50 600 men
to work In the forests, is expected to
receive congressional approval this
week Later q huge public works en-
ployment program will be advanced,
While these new proposals were going
to Congress, Secretary Roper OF the
Commerce Department and q special
committee sought to whip into shape
q concrete proposal for reviving the
national transportation system.
One Of the suggestions for aiding rail-
roads under serious consideration con-
templates a pooling OF rail interests
and q reduction OF mileage and opeyat-
ing expenditures. Agreement on pro-
gram is expected by Mr.. Roosevelt be-
fore the week Is out. and he is pre-
pared to submit it to Congress imme-
diately
The executive order carrying the mer-
ger into effect would become final within
81 days unless blocked by Congress
which is virtually impossible under the
Presidents new powers.
The $500, 900 900 direct aid relief fund
marks a distinct departure from the
Hoover administrators policy Of max
ing loans for relief The new fund
would be given to States as outright
grants, with no provision for repayment.
A Federal relief administrator would be
created to distribute the money.
In . statement last night Senator
Wagner said the bill recognizes that
not only must starvation be prevented,
but that standards of relief must be
lifted If the growing generation Is not
to inherit all of the disastrous legacies
Of undernourishment and demoraliza-
ton"

the line would be allowed the same
privilege with the new beer.
The dry acts Of such States as Vir-

1915. Mr.. Stevens said the Chesapeake
Line feet served liquors and beer to

similarly affected by the 1916 dry law
Of Virginia. which stopped the sale Of
liquors and beer on the boats altogether.

Shore Steamboat Co., which operates
boats to Virginia bay ports as well as
10 the dry counties Of the Eastern Shore,

TRIBUTE TO FOSTER

Another tribute has heen paid by tie
people of the south to Stephen C. Foster,
composer of southern folk songs, by the
erection of monument to his memory in
the form of large boulder bearing this in
scripCion:
Erected to the memory of Stephen
Collins Foster at the source OF the stream
which he immortalized in song, Suwanee
River
Foster wrote about 125 songs, among
which were "Old Folks at Home "Old
Black Joe,' my Old Kentucky Home
"Massas in the Cold Cold Ground, Come
Where My Love Lies Dreaming" NELLY
Was Lady" and others which have been
sung the world over
Although most of his best songs were
of the south, Foster was born near Pitts
burgh and lived in the north all his life,
never going farther south than Kentucky,
except for one trip to New Orleans. He
was born in 1926 and died in 1864.
He wrote both words and music of his
songs, which perhaps accounts for the
perfect blending of their poetry and
melody. While he could net be called a
great composer from strictly musical
standpoint, his peculiar talent was recog-
nizeu by poets and musicians of note, and
his songs have human appeal which is
irresistible,
America has produced no sweeter
singer than Stephen Collins Foster.
