DISABLED VETERANS WHO SEEK HEALTH IN ARIZONA CHEERED

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 21. The disabled and lex-service women who have ieen forgotten by many cannot be forgotten by Arizona. From all over the

country women who were disabled during the war go to Arizona in an attempt to regain their health. A large number "pitch their tents in the desert" and everywhere is Arizona reminded of women who sacrificed. These ex-service

women are going to be personally remembered this Christmas by the

Overseas league.

COLUMBUS Labor on farm3 averaged $32.70 a month and $2.70 a day

for harvest work last summer, according to C. J. West, agricultural statistician for the state federal crop reporting service. The figures are slightly below those of last year. In 1920. farm labor, when hired by the month, averaged $48, In Ohio.

COLUMBUS Final approval of the auditing and balancing of accounts of the state fair this year was made at a meeting of the agricultural board here. A balance of $7,000 is in the fair fund, but receipts were less this year than last, due to the fire which destroyed many buildings.

CINCINNATI University of Cincinnati alumni urge that efforts be made to persuade high school athletes of ability to enter the institution so that the "athletic standard may be raised." CLEVELAND The misspelling of a word was the basis for asking a new trial for John Brozich, found guilty of the alleged theft of nine rugs. The indictment had it "rungs."

CINCINNATI Capt. David Powers,

a Cincinnati visitor, is the possessor of the shrunken head of a Jivaro chief

tain, which measures just four inches in heighth. The process of reduction of the head is a secret one, according to Powers.

CINCINNATI Income of the University of Cincinnati will be increased $5,000 yearly by the terms of the sale of a five-story building here. The property was deeded to the university in 1853. The building sold for $250,-000.

CLEVELAND The executive committee of the Ohio Bell Telephone company has announced a regular quarter

ly dividend of $1.75 a share on preferred stock, payable Jan. 1, to stock

holders of record at the close of busi ness Dec. 20.

WOULD SELL CAMP KNOX WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Authorization for the sale by the war department of nearly 50 pieces of property which are not now needed for military purposes is provided for in a bill introduced today by Chairman James W. Wadsworth, Jr., of the senate military affairs committee. Camp Knox, Ky., is included in the property.

FARM LOAN CREDITS That congress will pass rural credit legislation to aleviate existing credit limitations is assured, but as to the manner of the admicistration and in what manner the job shall be handle! is not yet clear. The Lenroot bill, now under discussion, is admittedly a workable rural credits scheme but Charles E. Lobdell, chairman of the farm loan board, told the senats committee that he would prefer that the new system be attached to the federal reserve banks, instead of to the federal land banks. He contends that a more scientific system would be provided by the reserve banks, as the new farm loan department would deal with personal credits, as is its present business, while the officers of the

federal land banks re more experienced in the question of farm lan 1 credits. Be this as it may the farmer is soon

to find a way of increasing his,loans

ana to be able to borrow on commodi

ties, in order to be able to hold them

out of glutted markets. This will helo

in the stabilization of prices ond more

orderly marketing. There are men who want to see the control and management of the federal land banks turned over to the stockholders in these banks, or ratheto the borrowing stockholders. The American farm bureau does not advocate such a measure and believer that if this were done the "present conservative policies of the federal land banks will be practically abandoned in some districts." On this feature the News Letter gives a reason for this belief by citing the following happening, and says: Dangerous Policy "For example, in one of the districts

anticipating this reorganization an in

dividual has announced his candidacy

for membership on. the federal land bank board of his district, announcing as . one of the planks of his platform

that if elected he would oppose the foreclosing of any mortgage within that district. Complete domination of the federal land bank of a particular district by those elected because of a campaign for more liberal loans and less stringent enforcement of borrowers' liabilities, would most certainly impair the bond market, which would immediately be reflected in a higher bond rate and a higher interest rate." Institute at Whitewater The farmers of Franklin township are to devote two days of holiday week to their second annual institute, at Whitewater. It will be held in M. E. church on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 26-27, and an interesting program will be offered. The first ses

sion on Tuesday morning will be open-' ed by a community song, led by Don Jennings, followed by an invocation by Rev. Ulrr.er, after which O. C. Hunt will deliver an address of welcome. Winter management of the laying flock, by Ernest Newman will be the subject of the first business talk of the meeting. An address by Hon. James K. Knapp, "The Legislature and the Farmer," will complete the morning session, except committee announcements. While there will be no evening sessions of the institute an entertainment program will be put on at the Christian church on ' Tuesday evening. Prizes will be awarded on grain and seeds and also on the products of the household economics class, and on bread and pastry to any who may wish to compete. Farmers On the Subsidy Senator Brookhart of Iowa made his

first speech in the enate in opposi

tion to the ship subsidy bill. He wanted it sidetracked in favor of the Norris bill, which would create a gov

ernment corporation with $100,000,000 capital to buy and sell farm products. What the friends of the subsidy is

asking congress to do is to authorize government aid to an American merchant marine. A Chicago editor says that "Farmers would have reason to protest a measure which would force the carrying of their farm products to foreign markets in t;ow and obsolete freighters which would, handicap American farmers in reaching world

markets. But they have an excellent reason for federal support of a merchant marine which would compete with the British and Japanese on even terms and thereby probably reduea freight rates to the advantage ' of American farmers ai d manufacturers. That is what we want a chance to compete on even terms at sea for our fair share of the carrying trade of the

world, with incidental assurance that

thus we would retain the ocean auxiliaries necessary to an adequate navy in emergency." Milk For Pellagra A southern physician says that plenty of good milk is a cure for pel

lagra, otherwise hook worm, and that plenty of fresh vegetables will also help. This is another boost for milk. Pure milk and fresh butter are almosi

specifics for pellagra but the poor people of overflowed southern districts

are often practically withiut either, and are lacking in even the fresh vegetables which would be of such great help in freeing them from the inroads of the diseased Progressive planters are now cultivating plantation gardens, not simply supplying garden plots for individuals, ut have a garden run as a separate branch of the farming from which the vegetables are supplied daily to all the tenants, as vegetable rations, by the gardeners. As a health measure this plan has been found a success By promoting the use of milk, butter and fresh vegetables medical me'i from the south claim that pellagra is prevented, and that hook worm is the result of improper -Met. There i plenty of that disease, however, at points higher or beyond the overflow districts, from a failure to get nourishing foods, and a normal supply.of milk and butter. A fair average American corn crop equals or exceeds he entire whea; production of. the world as eriven for

i Dy tne international Institute of

Agriculture at Rome. This production

is given as being less than thre hiJi

ion bushels, of which there remained

950 million bushels for export in the

burpius countries during the crop year.

as our corn crop alone has frenuent.lv

figured over three biilion bushels its immensity is apparenr when compared

wun tne wneat of all the world.

In announcing the figures on wheat

me department of agriculture said

that "The surplus would be quite sufficient to supply the demand and to leave a good balance at the beginning of the next crop year " We presume this would not be the case but fothe inability of Europe to buy all the

wneat ana fiour it really needs. A Real Farmer Oscar E. Bradfute, the newly elect

OPPOSITION EXPRESSED TO ARBUCKLE FILMS

(By Ansoclated Press) LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21. Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, comedian was making today for his re-entry into motion pictures after Jan. 1. while members of the Los Angeles district federation of women's clubs, announced they "could not recede from their opposition' 'to his plans. After Will H. Hays, titular head of the motion picture industry announced

here yesterday that Arbuckle might

have another "chance" to make good, the Los Angeles district adopted a resolution affirming a previous one opposing his reappearance in pictures. Mrs. J. C. Urquart, president of the district stated that although Arbuckle at his third trial in San Francisco had been acquitted of causing the death of Virginia Rappe, screen actress, the testimony "was of such a character as to bar him forever from appearing before a "decent, self respecting public." "I can truthfully say." she declared, "that the club women of this country will not commend any Arbuckle films and I do not think any film will succeed without our commendation."

Appearance of Roscoe Arbuckle in films here probably would receive the condemnation of tie Ministerial association, according to the Rev. H. S. James, president, were a vote to be taken, he said Thursday. Richmond ministers do not meet again until January.
