CHARGE MADE

WASHINGTON, March 49, (U.R-
Senators Thomas d. Schall tRep0 =,
Minnesota, and L. Dickinson tRep0 I,
Iowa, today charged the Roosevelt
administration with attempts to
impose a press censorship through
TIE communications industry.
Schall said the communications
commission bill contained a threat
of censorship because telegraph
company could refuse to send a
press dispatch until a censor from
the federal communications COM
mission passes on the subject mat
ter" He referred to a provision OF
tie bill whereby a telegraph COM
pany would be subject to damage
claims for matter carried on their
wires
Dickinson said General john
son, having failed to force censor
ship into the newspaper code, is
now attempting to secure the same
result by forcing censorship on
tie telegraph companies conveying
the news dispatches to the daily
newspapers"

index of consumer buying in rural
areas as indicated by preliminary
estimate received at the FL Centre

connection with this new index re-
garding general merchandise sales

Is based on figures furnished by
three large mail order concerns for
sales by mail only. ard large
group of chain units operating i'll
small towns and cities of the agri-
cultural regions of the country.
The total sales of the sample re-
celred at the local chamber repre-

cember 1882, was ass per cent and
the decrease in January, 1894, over

MISSION OPENS
At st. PAUL :

Billy Sunday once remarked IF
ever the Episcopal church wakes
up-look out!' In quoting this last
night at the Episcopal church here,
DR.. John Gayner Banks declared
this was already happening. He
has just come from similar missions
at Beverly Hills and Eagle Rock
where he says the Episcopalians are
getting religion and in his op-
ening address here last night told
of a service last Thursday at Eagle
Rock where about 20 people got up
on their feet to witness to the new
power which had come into their
lives.
Rev. Charles Bailey, vicar of the
church in Ell Centre, introducing
DR.. Banks said, There is great
need for such a mission as We are
starting on here and the message
which DR.. Banks has to give.
The missioner quoted Prof. Will
liam James in urging the need for
radical conversion. Conversion Is
that process. gradual or sudden by
which a selfdivided and conscious
ly wrong. inferior and unhappy, be-
comes unified and consciously right,
superior and happy Everybody
wants this sense of unification, said
the speaker, and the Christian way
of reaching it is to put Christ IN
the center OF the life.
DR.. Banks believes that genuine
conversion brings a radical change
in peoples lives, resulting in peace,
power. serenity and (quite oftenl
in healing of the body. He cited
several cases from his last mission
where bodily healing had come SIM
ply through Player, though this
was not the primary object of the
mission. Monday night the subject
Is forgiveness, Tue S day.

BANK DISCOUNT
RATE LOWERED

Effective Friday, March 16, the
discount rate of the Berkeley In
termediate Credit Bank was low
cred from 8 per cent to 2l2 per
cent according to an announce
ment by President Willard D. Ellis
Of the bank. The old rate was in
effect since November Is. The 2is
per cent rate is the lowest since
the intermediate Credit Bank was
established in 1923 and is rendered
possible, Ellis said, by the present
favorable market for debentures.
Not only will the lowering of the
discount rate effect the business
of cooperative credit and market
ing associations, Incorporated live
stock loan companies, agricultural
credit corporations and other fin
ancial institutions served by the
bank, but it was pointed out by
bank officers today the 2l2 rate
will apply to all credit advances
made after March 16 on loans
already closed with members of
the newly established production
credit associations in the Farm
Credit Administrators eleventh
district, though the 3 per cent
discount applies to initial advan-
ces made before the change. Loo
ally this will effect loans through
the FL Centro Production Credit
Association.
Automatically this will reduce
the interest chargeable by such
associations from to 5i2 per
cent Under the regulations estab-
lished for production credit as
sociations a 3 per cent spread is
allowed the associations interest
rate and the intermediate credit
agency's discount on farmer-mem-
bers' notes endorsed by the assoc
iation.
