Kolbert)—The senate agricultu- ral blo s the result of insistent de- mands President Harding’s agri- cultural conference, may investigate the feasibility of a national system for guaranteeing satisfactory prices to the farmers for their products. Although conservatives in the ag- ricultural conference have prevent- ed endorsements of any price stabil- ization scheme, representatives of the Farmers’ Union are said to have surances {rom leaders of the sen- ate bloc that & special committee will be appointed to investigate the Aus- .| tralian plan of pri_c(- guarantees. A committee may ‘visit - Australia to study the working of this system. Meanwhile the agriculture confer- ence is expected to broaden out more of its work today by passing another long list of resolutions. The price stabilization or insurdnce plan was explained today by representatives of the Farmers’ Union as follows: Formation of pools among the growers of cotton, grain and other agricultural products. The federal government, through the War Finance corporation or some other agency, is to underwrite these pools to guarantee individual farm- crs_against loss. When the farmer, after placing his wheat with the pool, is in need of money, the pool advances part of the price on his holdings. When the pool finally disposes of the wheat it pays the diffeyence between the amount advanced and the price te- ved, minus warchouse and freight arges. The pool assures orderly market- ing. Whenever the price falls below the point of profit the stock is with- held until the price rises. YEOMEN LODGE STAGES VERY ENJOYABLE DANCE The dancing party staged by the Brotherhood of American Yeomen in the new Moose hall Thursday eve- ning, following the regular business meeting of that organization, was a very enjoyable affair. An exception- ally large crowd danced to the music furnished by a three-piece orchestra. Refreshments were served through- out the cveningi Members of the organization and their invited friends enjoyed the occasion. During the business meeting, State Manager Hatley of St. Paul gave an exceptionally interesting talk on the rapid growth of the order and also on its future activities. The dance was that much of a suc- cess that it has been decided to hold one on the fourth Thursday evening of each month hereafter. " e LADIES OF G. A. R.
