Os course he can on much less than that but he will find that sum inadequate to buy every thing that will be offered them on the installment plan. “Employment hits bottom" says a headline and the story goes on to show that the federal reserve board is convinced of that. Well all we have'to say is that the .old thing has a lot of bottoms and has been reaching one after the other for nearly a year now. President Hoover is busy in politics it is said, at which he seems to be better than in the accomplishment of matters pertaining to the high office of chief executive. The best politics he could play would | be to get some action on the employment proposition and the re-

vival of business. They say Zuta had an income of sixteen million dollars a year. If he hadn't been so nervy he might have lived to amass quite a fortune.

FINANCES ARE STUDIED TODAY Drought Relief Financial Problems Discussed By Group Washington, Aug. 2G —(U.R) —Federal and state authorities joined today in attacking the problem of emergency financial relief for drought areas. Representatives of various states gathered with Henry M. Robinson, tanker member of President Hoover's national drought relief committee, and other representatives of federal agencies. Secretary of Agricultural Hyde, chairman of the committee, said the immediate objectiye of the meeting was financing agricultural credit corporations which are being organized in the drought districte. Hyde, who returned yesterday from a midwestern trip, said the grain shortage probably would be more acute than had beeu forecast, and relief would be needed most in the autumn. "Establishment of agricultural ci edit corporations," Hyde said, "is the means of providing credit. In general, the community will provide the credit and the federal agency the funds. “The credit corporations will lend money direct to the farmer

Your cheapest NECESSITY... yOUR fire insurance dollar pays for indemnity—for immunity against financial loss when calamity overtakes you. But that dollar buys so much more than the indemnity it pays for that it ranks as one of the most effective dollars you spend. Fire insurance, from the indemnity standpoint alone, is one of the cheapest of present-day necessities. Its cost has consistently declined for many years — even during the oeriod of war inflation. And this in spite of the fact that insurance service —as rendered by the more than 250 Stock companies constituting the National Board of Fire Underwriters — has multiplied its activities for the public welfare and greatly enlarged their scope. Research and Engineering Your fire insurance dollar may pay for indemnity only, but for good measure • STOCK FIRE INSURANCE provides engineering and research services to make life and property safer—*z- laboratories in which to test materials and devices —scientific measurement of fire hazards — building construction codes —arson detection and investigation —organized fire prevention —and other voluntary measures designed to lower the fire waste and thereby reduce the cost of fire insurance. A thorough understanding of what Stock Fire Insurance really means and does —and greater public use of its facilities —will result in a still further reduction of the fire waste and a consequently greater service to the insur- . jng public.

land rediscount the paper with Intermediate credit banks. That plume of the credit problem concerns farmers not affilint|ed with eo-operatlves. Thf federI id farm board is ready to advance funds to co-operative organizations, but cannot make Its funds available otherwise. The farm board announced yesterday it was assisting the American Cotton Co-operative Association to advance through state cooperatives approximately 90 per cent of the value of cotton placed by growers in seasonal pools. Three types of relief will be made available to fanners not eligible for farm board funds. In each instance county groups operating under state committees will i decide what the form of relief shall be. The three types will take the form of credit, employment or charity. , Farmers who are beyond reach of either of the first two will receive assistance through the Red Cross. Faftners will be given preferment in employment on roads and other public works projects, under I the second type of relief. Hyde has sent into the drought area C. L. Chambers and H. W. j Gilbertson of the agriculture de- | partment to assist state agencies ! in emergency relief work. They will endeavor to put relief I organizations in touch with sup- . plies of quickly available feed stuffs. Their Itinerary so far inI eludes Virginia, Kentucky, Teni nessee. Arkansas, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois.
