" WARKET-COBINES OF FARMERS URGED Seen by Wir Finance Cor- ppration as Valuahle Aib to Agricuflqre. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. More orderly methods of ' marketing and the greater use of co-operative marketing assoclations would, in the opinion of the War Finance Corpota- tion, do more good at the present time in relleving the wheat situation than anything else the government could gest.’ ! This advick ‘was given the committee of bankers from the minth federal re- serve district at the conclusion of thefr Vvisit here. President Coolidge has.let it be known that he ‘will rely on the solitions proposed by the War Finance Corporation as well as the Department of Agriculture.. The issuance of' & statement by the War Finance Corpora- tion outlining how extended had ‘been its financial help to the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Montana, - from whence the visiting bankers came, was caleulated to offset the impression that the government hasn't been doing’ its utmost to help the farmers of the northwest, Loans in Wheat States. More than 54 per cent of the total Joans maue by the War Finance Cor- roration to the whole nation are out- #tanding at present in the four states above mentioned. Ami the loans of the War Finance Corporation exceed hy. $1.000.000 the loans of the fed- eral reserve system in these same four etatos. North Dakota alone— seat of the Non-Partisan League's radicali*m-—has received more money from the' War Finance Corporation in proportion to its population and the volume of its production than any other ‘state in the Union. _Eugene Moyer, head of the War Finance. Corporation, called the at- tention of the visiting committes “to the experience of the corporation in arranging advances, totaling more than $190,000,000. to co-operative marketing associations, principally to organizations handling cotton, tobac- €o and rice.” He added that the as- .l'oml[lon.\' have proved most helpful in improving the methods of orderly marketing of American agricultural products, ‘and that the loans proved to be safre. The obinion was expressed by the directors of the War Finance Cor- poration also that “it would be of great benefit to the wheat growers of the entire country if the relatively emall operations of the co-operative wheat assoclations could be extended and developed at the present time.” & ‘Wheat in Europe. 1 Mr. Mever, who has been investigat- | ing the European wheat situation. at first hand, explained why, “under pres- ent conditio of fluctuating ex- chang the European buyers do not contract for wheat ahcad, but buy from hand to mouth and do not carry the normal pre-war stocks of wheat | in elevators and mill warehouses.” | This situation. he thinks, cannot change for the present, “and the pro- ducing countrics must oarry the stocks which formerly were carried ! by the consuming countries; this means for America slower market- ing, with warehousing and financing adjusted to slower distribution, and | emphasizes the importance of devel- oping the co-operative marketing as- sociations.™ Most of the proposals thus far made for the financing of the Americai wheat oxport trade contemplate | Freshies in Iron Grip of Catholic Upper Classmen Catholic University upper classmen have lald down Ironclad culss for the freshimen ta adhere to until Novem. ber 1.

COOLIDGE TAKES UP PLAINT OF FARMERS Will Discuss Burdens of Wheat Growers With Wal- lace and Hoover.i after 8 Intormed through a series of con- ferences as to the situation faced by the wheai growers of the central northwest, President Coolidge expects to meet with Secretaries Wallace and Hoover within a few days to deter- mine what remedies may be applied to the ills of agriculturists generally. The plight of the wheat growers was laid before Secretary Hoover in detall yesterday by the delegation which conferred Thursday with Pres- ident Coolidge and Secretary WaMace. The conferences with the two cabinet members treated the subject of reliet In more detail than was possible at the White House meeting and the Presfdent In his study of the ques- tion desires to avail himself of the information and advice of the two Secretaries. Ask Special Sesalon. Members of the delegation from the northwestern states embraced in the Mipneapolis federal reserve district have proposed that the President call Congress into special session to en- act legislation to revive the United States Grain Corporation, minus its war-time powers to fix prices. They also have asked a reduction in freight rates on wheat and wheat products. Inquiry at the White House brought no information as to the impression entation of the delegation, but it was said the President was anxious to con- sider the proposals as soon as possible with Secretaries Wallace and Hoover. The President is convinced that while the War Finance Corporation may b helpful in the present situation, it is not a lack of credit, but a lack of mar- kets that lies at the bottom of th farmers' difficulties. Intercst Rates “Burdensome.” The delegation previously had visited the offices of the War Finance Cor- poration. Managing Director Meyer declared the rates paid for deposits by many of the state banks, particularly in the ninth federal reserve districi, have been 80 high “that they determine a level of interest rates for loans to |the farmers whieh is burdensome.” Mr. Meyer told the delegation that in addition to aiding in bringing down made upon the President by this pres- | MUTT AND' JEFF—Jeff Figures the Poor House Is at Least Five Years Away, WHY S0 CHesTy) JGEF, DIb> You FIND .

The ‘notably “Great Men and Women of the Old and New Testaments” rest their title to enduring fame, not upon military prowess, states. | manship or lterar achievement, simply, | but rather upon the moral grandeur of. thefr characters and the spiritual | qualities of their personalities, which were marked by their faith in Je- hovah and unhesitating obedience to:| the will of God. g “It is said that a certain library in Brooklyn contains a copy of the American Constitution so delicately shaded in the copperplate that - {¥| | brings out In relief, as the observer stands off a little distance, the familiar features of George Wash- ington, the foundér of the American: republic and the man who made that.| great charter of liberty a national and enduring fact. From ome point of view {t is a chapter ot political history; from another, it is the por- trait of the father of his country.” In our studies of these outstanding personalities we have been impressed with the power of the Lord Jesus in- fluencing and_molding the lives of these heroic figures so that duripg the Old Testament period they pre- pared the Hebrew nation for -His coming and during the New Testa- ment period revealed the transform- ing power of His life in making men | and women who were ordinary peo- ple into great personalities.

While Mark gave the world the gospel of Peter, scholars recog- nize that Lukcs blography of the Master was influenced by Paul. We are, indebted to the scholarly and sciéntific Luke for * beauti- ful book ~in, the world,” as Renan terms the ‘third gospel, ‘and also for the Acts of the Apostles which glv us the story of the early church's foundation and extension. = We found in our last lesson how the Holy | Spirit tsansformed the “beloved | child” of the great Apostie’s ministry | into a couregeous and loyal helper, | friend and pastor, a good miuister of | Christ Jesus. ‘ Our studies of _the'.quarter “have convinced us that the seeret of the| Breatness of these men and women, | Who were persons of like . passion and power of ordinary mankind. was due to their fellowship with Christ. | Their transformation into great and “began to do and teach,” while in the flesh and then after His ascension through the gift of the Holy Spirit to His church. The les- sons have established more clearly thehistorical reality of the per- sonality and career of Jesus Christ. They have helped to confirm our faith in the reality of His resurrection. They have served to establish beyond question that death had no power over His life for He continued to do through His church after His resur- rection the work He had commenced when in the flesh. It was the per- sonal relationship that they held with the risen and living Christ which gave them power over others. Another source of thelr greatness was due to the fact that the unnamed followers of Christ. were men and women, who followed their leader- ship, endured similar trials and lived lives that proved to the world that hey had been: with Jesus and learned of Him. Their greatness was due to the fact that these groups followed their leaders as bands of men whose hearts God had touched by renewing grace of regeneration, filled ‘with love for souls and endowed them with the power of the Holy Spirit for service. In a life marked by self-denial, sacri- fice and service the leaders and mem- bers of the Apostolic Church revealed that “practical idealism,” which Jesus taught and showed His followers how to_practice.

One has well sald that “Never in the history of ‘the ‘world has there been a generation which produced such a godly group of men and women as those hiographies we have been studying for the past three months.” s We commenced our study with the brave John the Baptist, whose fear- ilessness ~made him a powerful preacher. The forerunner's messages in the Judean wilderness prepared the way for the entrance of .Jesus into the public ministrx as the Mes- slah. We followed our study of the one, whom the Lord said: “Among them that are born of woman there hath not ariseri a greater than John the Beptist,” with & lesson. devoted to the “highly favoured” mother of jour Lord. People of all creeds re- vere the Virgin Mary, whose trust in the angel's annunciation resulted in her being honored as the mother of our Saviour. Mother has & richer meaning since it was spoken by the child Jesus to the quiet and devoted soul, whem He loved as His mother. In thes next three lessons we studied the careers and characters of three Apostles who played a promi- nent part in establisiment, - exten- | sion and training of the Apostolic Church. We saw the impulsive Peter, who. was the first to confess - th Jesus was the Christ, develop spirit- ually from being the heady and vacil- lating person into the rock through the transtorming power of the Holy Sprit sent by the Risen Christ to comfort and direct His church, Wi then studied the spritival transforia- tion of John. Who'in the commence- ment of his discipleship “‘was énvious, resentful, and selfishly ambitious,” ‘Into “the beloved disciple,” whose lifs and labors refiected "the “gospel of love that he preached. 'In the fifth: lesson we had a study in the conmversion of Matthew, the publican, that re- vealed the ‘breadth of the Master's sympathyeand His passion for the souls of the outcasts and despiced among men. - The Lord was.thé only One, who saw anything good-in Ma! thew, whose ready r nee and serv- ice as an Apostle writer .of the first gospel proved the correctness of.
