i -J i A.J A ' aw is n TO LOADED FARMERS IN YEAR BY II. S. i (By Toiled Kts , Washington, Deo 21. This is the answer of administration officials to ; tb complaints of debt-ridden- farmers : The ... government. through the war - j' finance - corporation, has approved 4 loans of approximately 1150,000,000 for agricultural relief gyring the last year. Of these approved; loans, it is ilearned some. $250,000,000 were ad . vanced. .- This ''nysarui an advance- of - about 939 to each of the 6,S00,000 farm proprietors in the United States. "Twice :tlus amount was -availablev.bat, it is i explained, the farmers'- organisations .preferred going to their local banks for additional loans. In other words, . -once they obtained a line of eredit f from the war finance corporation, they - were recognize by their local banks . . as sound debtors and were able to bof- "tow money in their tiome community. 'fJAEMEBS CLAIM LOSS . . -rainBt this government, aid the farmers claim a loss of S3.00,0a,0oa t within the last lew months due to the railroad strike. As pointed -out in . i, United News dispatches from Chicago, r the farmers have been unable to move a considerable portion of their crops because of the car .shortage which i'Btill. exists. . Additional " aid,' however, may be forthcoming , to the, amount of about f 100.000,000 if the administration's f rural credit legislation '. Is enacted. This sum, however,. Is uncertain . be- - cause it ranges from $540,000,000 in the I Simmons Wl to $5000,000 in theiLen 5 root bill. The' Norris bill would set ''aside $100,000,000. , . ;.

Mo. . , Girl Prefers Jail To Fine; Wants Coin For Christmas (By Cnrfcnal Serrice) t -Berkeley, Califs Dee. 21. What is more valuable, 24 hours in jail and $15 In one's pocketbook, or liberty minus the $15?" To some this may be a rather puz zling question to decide, especially while a stern judge looks down upon you from his bench. Miss Martha Blattner. 20 years old University - of California, sophomore, decided the question for herself when she took a jail sentence rather than deprive her friends of the Christmas gifts she had planned to purchase. Justice of the Peace Robert Edgar gave the young woman her choice o a fine or one day In jail when she ap peared before' him on a charge of speeding within the business zone - of this city., Miss Blattner told the justice she was endeavoring to 'assist a girl friend to catch a train so. she could en joy ' Christmas with her parents, hut the stern" jurist turned ai deaf ear to her plea. In accepting the jail sentence. Miss Blattner let it be known that she had received a fixed allowance rom her father, a wealthy . San Joaquin valley rancher, for her Christmas needs and if she paid the fine ft would mean some of her friends would have to be overlooked. After thinking the matter overwhile "his honor1 "waited for a decision. Miss -Blattner decided to be generous rather than comfortable and accepted the 24 hours locked up.

' Washington, Dec. - 21--"-Democratic party ltaders, revising their plans iu view of recent ' developments, are -preparing to bring the international Issue forward immediately after the Christ mas holidays. ' ': They have decided, the United Tews is informed, . to "abandon the silence they have ' preserved . si noo - election. After careful study f political condi tion, it - has been agreed that the party's guns should be opened up as soon as the holiday lull is. over. The 1924 campaign will actually he start ed one year early. . . . FAILURE IS CHABOEB In the immediate future, every ef fort will ..be made to hammer the fol lowing argument into the minds of the voters: -. L Failure of the Harding adminis tration to assist ' in restoring "Europe has eost American farmers millions of dollars by cutting off foreign mar kcts, ' '-. ; "-- 2. Sudden ' activity of the adminis tration now is due to belated realiza tion of this fact. v S. This situatiotv would -never have developed if the international policies advocated by the Democratic s party have been" adopted. s. SO ASSWeS FEEJAEEB :i '.That Is the substance . of the Demo cratic attack. The Republicans will have no answer ready. This brings ;up the whole interna tional Question once more. . The Dem ocratic spokesmen are busy getting out their campaign literature. The name Of President Wilson will be freely used. "We told you so." will be the favorite , phrase for the : next -few months. ' i - - . ; Democratic leaders afe still uncer tain whether, to press the League of Nations issue. Present opinion among the shrewdest politicians appears to be against it. They argue that the league was framed to meet . conditions exist ing three years ago and that events may have made the league out of date. At least there is serious doubt whether: to stress it as a campaign talking point. VTILSOK POMCIES TO l"OKE ' But in any event most of the Wilson foreign policies are being brought out and dusted off to be put in the presi dential showcase - again. Until a few weeks ago even the most 'ardent Wil sonian followers hfcd marked :.4hese fssrfues as unsalable and had put them back out of sight. But suddenly . they have found a possible market. - And strangely, the b'Sgest selling point for them - is, that on which the Republicans based their .own argu mentthe .Welfare "of the American farmer and business 'man. In 1930, Harding, as a. ": candidate." said repeat edly that America should withdraw from Eurdpe'and tlevote Its attention to restormg prosperity at home. Now the DemocrjttR are about to argue that the way to . restore prosperity is- just the opposite of the method advocated by HarUng :two years ago. SEEK AID FOB FARMER - Closely linked with the international angle of the prosperity- issue will be two important domestic arguments: . 1. More creditsniwet be extended to the farmer. s..- " -1 2He: must be given trjutsportation facilities that will enable him ;lget his goods to market. j The financial - difficulties of the mortgage-ridden f -trmer is an old story now, but one that will W --tM 6ve again many , times . before the next election. . r Father Carries Six Children Friftn Fire Chiicager Dec. 2L-KI.
