Washington, Jan. 31.—The national agricultural cofference, which closed its session Saturday night after adopt- J ing recommendations, designed to al- | leviate present farm depression and prevent recurrences of such a condi- | tion, was hailed as “the most far- reaching conference of farmers ever held,” in a statement issued by J. R. Howard, president of the Anierican; Farm, Bureau Federation. The recommendations of the con-| ference were endorsed by Mr. Howard | and during the day were made the; basis of study by Secretary Wallace | and other officials upon whom will} devolve the task of making them ef- fective, Referring to President Harding’s suggestion in~opening the conference that the farmers of the nation seek to unite in cooperative’ organizations, Mr. Howard said: ? Associntion’s Plane, “The farm bureau will undertake to organize all the farmers of the nation and unite them into strong commodity marketing association?’ which will improve the distribution of food to the lasting benefit to both consumer and producer. We want to bring the eater and the grower closer together.” 7 “The agricultural conference will go down into history as the most far- reaching conference of farmers ever held,” the stafement said. “The top- most feature, of course, was the ad- dress of President Harding and the commitments which it contained’ of the administration’s attitude toward agriculture.. Probably no chief execu- tive of the nation has previously in- dicated’ so deep and intelligent inter- est in the farmers’ affairs “President Harding recognized the bad ‘state of agriculture at the pres- ent time; stressed. the outstanding im- portance of agriculture in our na- tional life; showed that the farmer must have a credit system adapted to his needs; asserted that’ lasting improvement is to come only to the development of cooperative market- ing; favored a scientific limitation of production and ‘pointed out the dignity of the profession. Protests’ Excess Margins. “The cooperative marketing. move- Ment as fostered by the American Farm Bureau’ Federation is a pro- test expressed in action against ex- cess inargins and distributive costs. It is no new thing. ‘It has been car- tied on successfully in Europe for hundreds ‘of years. Within less than fifty years, Denmark, through cooper- ative marketing, has reduced distri- bution costs so that the producers receive 72 cents of the consumer's dollar, more than twice as much as we get here and through cooperative marketing has_ rebuilded ‘her entire national prosperity. “Secretary Wallace comes out of the national agricultural \ conference with his hands greatly strengthened to perform a real and definite service for agriculture and the nation. Par- ticularly notable in the endorsements of the conference is the farmers’ de- mand for early completion of the St.’ Lawrgnce deep waterway, the develop- ment of Muscle Shoals by. Henry Ford, the building of a credit machine! adapted to a farm turnover at reason- able rates of interest, and the farmers’ demand, that both capital and labor | must share alike in the readjustments which have already hit agriculture. Significant Endorsement, ~ “Tne endorsement by the confer-| ence of the agricultural bloc is sig- nificant, ‘ “The conference would probably | never have been possible’ except for} the work of the congressional joint} commission of agricultural ‘inquiry under the-.progressive leadership’ of Chairman Sidney Anderson. To Pres: | ident Harding, Secretary Wallace and Chairman Anderson the. farmers of} America are today rendering a sin- cere vote of thanks for this. oppor- tunity to present their case to the na- tion’ and to seek a just and lasting | remedy for the benefit of both agri- culture and the nation.” ~ New Order Affects Over 70 Countries| Chicago, Ill., an. 31:—The. skirts of | Salvation Army: lassies must’ not be mire than seven.inches above the street level, according to an order is- sued here by Commissioner William | Peart. leader of the organization in| fifteen. midwest states. | “A few years ago we were trying 462 temperamental stars, 70 orchestra S.

Beatty, technical director ‘of the Chicago-Opera com- pany. ‘Mr. Beatty -is convinced that if Mr. Pullman had known. anything about the artistic temperament of sixty-two opera stars doomed to trave] together on one train he would have built Pullman cars with only low- er berths. , Mr. Beatty’s annual troubles began} when he prepared the transportation schedule for the eastern invasion of the opera company, which, opened a five week’s engagement in New York Monday, January 23, with Muratore and D’Alvarez singing “Sampson and Deliah.” His shipping instructions called for four trains, with 17 Pull- mans, two diners and: 42). baggage cars, sufficient accommodations to move the scenery, properties, electric- al equipment and’ wardrobes of 29 operas and 350: people, including the, men, 88 choristers of both sexes, more than 50 ballet dancers and the entire house and stage staff. ‘Some stars, he found, must have drawing rooms, some compartments, and some lower berths, but apparently there were none who. wanted upper largest traveling show venture in the Officials say. cities, ¢ ACCUSED NEGRO “to persuade our women to wear them} shorter,’ said Commisisoner Peart in} commenting upon. the order. “The| skirt that trails in the dirt gathering | germs is a menace to its wearer’s| heelth; but the skirt that flaps around \ the knees is pretty much of a menace | to the. modesty of the’ woman who} { | LIMBERS UP YOUR SORE STIFF JOINTS THER exposure and hard work bring pains and aches in J muscles and joints.

Method of Doing Business Va BANKERS: COOPERATING Numerous: safe-guards are being thrown around the conduct of the farm loan business of the Bank of North Dakota by W. B. DeNault, manager of the farm loan department, to prevent the making of political loans, ‘Bie system devised by Mr, DeNault for the conduct of the business: is such that various phaseg of the loaning bus- iness are handled’ without. confusion and with lessened chance for error. The. entire seeond floor of the bank building has been given over entirely to the farm loan department., There is no confusion in the department. The duty of each employe is closely defined and’ there is no overlapping... There rfow are five appraisers ready to start work:. The head of the*ap- praisal force, while a ‘resident of North Dakota, has been employed by the Federal Farm Loan Bank and is only “loaned” to North Dakota. He has no political interest in any loans and his selection is held one of the safe-guards: against the making of political loans or unfair appraisals. A great mass of information and detail is'necessary in the conduct of the business of this department. Man- ager DeNault-is making ‘a complete survey of-each county, gathering ac- curate information of the various com- munities in each county, the character of the land in the townships, the mount of loans that has been here- tofore made by. other companies, nec- essities of each applicant as to, the expiration of redemption from fore- closure; the safety limit for loans. ‘Maps of each county are being secured. Much general information: also has been obtained by Manager DeNault from a questionnaire sent to banks. The | cooperation received from bankers, who perhaps are the best judges of land values in their com- munities, is gratifying to Mr. De- ‘Nault. Their information as to: land values in their respective communi- ties is being indexed on a compre- hgpsive card system, together with er information. Thus a complete record of the character of land and general conditions in each commun- ity in the state is created, which will be of inestimable value in the future conduct of the business.. The fact that there was no such re¢ord as this in the department when. the new ad- ministration came into” power has necessitated the building up of the farm loan department from the very ground. \ Each Application Recorded The number of loan applications from each county is recorded in a special’ record book, containirg all necessary information regarding each loan for ready reference. Up to Jan- uary 25 the most applications in any one county; had come from McLean county, there being 51 applications ag- gregating $155,959. Only one county, Billings, was not represented in this list and there was but one application from Traill county.

Bankers Helpful -- Respon&e_from requests to bankers for information,'as well as many let- ters from individuals, contain expres- sion of loyalty to the state and also +a feeling of relief that the money of the taxpayers represented in- the. real estate bond sales will be carefully and wisely invested; thatthe state will not be in the business of making loans for political purposes; that the loans will be. fairly distributed, and made only to bona fide residents and to farmers who own their own land rath- er than’ ldsseés, -that’ the money will be distributed in farm loans to give necessary relief: to the greatest. num- ber of farm owners -in the present emergency and not play favorites by excessive loans to.any one person. The total number of farm loans re- ceived and requested from January 1, 1922 to January 25, numbered 520, the amount of loans asked for $2,208,200. The-great, volume-of business: makes it impossible to, handle each request im- mediately but with the system evolved it is expected by.” Manager DeNault that when the bond salesmoney has become available there will be loans made very steadily.
