11922 Record Y ear in
Amount of Faiirn Loans
’ WASHINGTON, ’ jan. 1;—Placing
loans in excess of $230,000,000 the fed
i eral farm loan system. experienced its
greatest period of expansion in 1922.
Commissioner Lobdell, of ilje federal
farm loan board, declared tonight in
a New Yearns greeting to American
farmers. The year’s record for exten
sion of credit represents loans more
tjian double the amount placed in any
one year since the creation of the sys
tem.
The expanded operations culminated
in the declaration-of dividends by six
of.. the. mere prosperous farm loan
banks aggregating more than one mil
lion dollars, Mr. lobdell declared. The
other land banks paid their regular
dividend of 8 per cent, he reported.
■ “We believe this distribution to the
farm borrowess is a transaction with
out precedent in the history.of agri
cultural finance,” - the commissioner
said in a’statement on behalf of the
; board. v. •
“To the farmers outside of the sys
tem; we'are pleased.to convey the as
surance of every prospect of a contin
ued supply of loanable funds at reason
able rates and on easy terms wherever
adequate security is offered. To one
and -ay,‘ we express the hope that wise
legislation and sound practices in co
operative marketing and buying may
speedily bring you relatively as close
to*the purchaser of your products and j
those' from whom you must purchase
as the farm loan system has brought
you to thei sources of financial supply.
Rollins College Beats
, University of Cuba
MIAMI, Fla- Jan- 1-—The eleven
from Rollins college, Winter Park, Fla,
defeated the University of Havana her#
today 80 to 0 In the first international
football game played in the south. The
Cubans were inexperienced and put up
little opposition. The Havana eleven
was slow in getting off its plays and
showed little ability to diagnose the
Rollins strategy, passes-to a backfield
man who stole over to the side of the.
'field, working successfully oh every
attempt for gains of from 30 to «0
yards. Campusano, full back for.,the
Cubans, made the only gains credited
to the Islanders. He also tackled well
and several times stopped Rollins run

CHEERFUL UNDERTONE
EVIDENt IN OUTLOOK
FOR INCOMING YEAR
Business Men Look to Era of In
dustrial Revival During
1923,
NEW YORK, Dec. 81.—As the year
closes and the country's leading econ
omists, bankers and buslftess men ^re
view the past' 12 months and attempt
I to forecast the futurb, a distinctly
j cheerful undertone is In evidence. It
is generally recognized that the past
year has been materially better than
I expected—that business revival has de
veloped an unforeseen vigor. Thus it
is pointed out that the country has en
joyed an unprecedented building booth,
that the steel industry has outstripped
all pre-war years in the matter of
rate production and that the buying of
automobiles has set a new high record.
Deflation of prices has leased and has
been succeeded by a distinct firming up,
employment is full and purchasing
power in the urban and ihdustrial dis
tricts is high.
In expressing a belief that the pres
ent revival will continue with a mod
[ erate increase in vigor during the next
several months, business leadera do not
I hesitate to point out that the skies are
I not cloudless. It is realized for exam
I pie, that the farmers’ position is not
yet wholly satisfactoryv in many dis
tricts and the northwest,’ in particu
lar, farmers still are heavy in debt and
are securing but, modest returns for
their crops. Some observers think that
| it will be fully two years before the
situation in these districts will be re
stored to something like normal, ^he
view is held that conditions are grad
ually on the me'ndi and the marked im
i provement which has occurred ip the
| south as a result of the high prices ob
tained from the present cotton crop is
cited as an example of what might
happen in the grain growing districts
if prices should take a decisive turn
for the better.
In this connection emphasis is laid
on the importance of the European, sit
uation. The economist point out that
roughly one-third of the country’s
wheat must be sold abroad and that
the price of wheat is determined In
the world market. As Europe is the
chief customer for our wheat, it fol
lows, so the argument runs, that our
farmers'can not receive advantageous
prices for their grain as long as Eu
ropean purchasing powers remain de- 1
pleted, and therefore there is a very
general agrement bankers that the
question of whether or the country is
to have a return to full prosperity- de
pends on the progress which is made
in restoring peace and commercial sta
bility in Europe. Opinions differ as
to the precise steps this country should
take but there is unanimity of opin
ion on the point that the country’s vyel
fare is involved a!nd that businesslike
steps should be .taken to improve the
situation. With regard to European
prospects; the attitude seems to be one
of cautious hopefulness. Conditions
now .are thought to be more favorable
to a settlement of "the reparations but
it is realised that progress in this /mat
ter heretofore has been slow and that
-the revival in . European trade probably
will be gradual.
Considerable emphasis is laid on the
shortage ’ of labor. . Industrials assert
that labor conditions are uncomforta
ble during the fall and that a revival
of the trouble is quite /within ■ the
bounds of possibility dicing the Com
ing year. Some go so far as to say
that the bidding for labor may result
in high wages and low efficiency, thus
raising production costs and so favor
ing an inflation which might result in
a speculative boom—with unpleasant
after effects. Others consider that the
outcome of the shopmen’s strike has
had a sobering'effect and that serious
difficulties are not probable.
Expectations of steady of higher
commodity prices are in the majority.
Absence of excessive stocks of mate
rials, the labor shortage, the tariff and
the existing tendency are offered ae
evidence supporting this view. At the
same time it ..Is thought that money
will remain relatively plentiful, • al
though there is a preponderance of
opinion to the effect that rates will
rise if the revival makes further mark
ed progress. , ,

SAN FJtANCISCO, Jan. 1.—The fact
that her husband was left-handed may

Bohemia, of the charge of having slain
her husband, Harry F. Barratti, song

Only her persistent declaration that
her husband had killed himself has
broken the otherwise sphinx-like sil
ence of the woman. Experts and phy
sicians contradict her, saying-Barratti
was shot through the right hand and
right temple. . ' « , .
But further investigation developed
the fact that JSaratti was left-handed,
that he had unusually Jong arms and
that he could have fired’ the deadly
shots. •
Mrs. Baratti, however, is still being
held. For the experts declare the bul
lets that killed her husband were
fired from a distance that’makes sui

Further than protesting her Inno

SEASIDE ASSEMBLY
GOES TO MOREHEAD
Western Baptist Meeting Will be
, Held at Mars Hillr
College ,
The Baptist Seaside Assembly will
i meet this year at Morehead City June
21-39, according' to: a decision of the
Baptist Board Of Missions. The West
ern North Carolina Assembly will meet
at Mars Hiil College July 30-August 7.
Prof. E. L. Middleton, head of the Sun
day School Department, of the Board of
| Missions will be the d,ean of the Sea
[ side Assembly, and Perry Morgan,
head of the B. Y. P. U. Department,
will be the dean of the Mars Hiss As
sembly
For four years the Seaside Assembly
met at Wrightsville Beach and held
vfery. successful sessions. The , pro
grams were of art unusually high ot
deF and the attendance, until the last
year or two, was very good. However,
the burning of one of the leading ho
tels at Wrightsville IJeach three years
ago caused snob A oongestioa that for
the past, two years the Assembly has
been called off.
Morehead City . has offered special
inducements this year jind for that
reason their proposition was accepted
by the Baptist, State Convention. The
Atlantic hotel management will give
the use of the hotel to the Baptists
during the week of i the Assembly at
the rate of $2.25 per day. Morehead
City is bidding for the permanent lo
cation of the Assembly. Their treat
ment of this -Assembly, this year will
largely determine the future of-the
Assembly. Programs for , both the
eastern and western Assemblies are
already in the making.
Dr. Charles E. Maddry, correspond
jng secretary or tne Baptist state con
vention, will not be able to direct
either. Assembly .since he will be in
Stockholm, Sweden, attending the. Bap
tist World Alliance at that time. The
recent Convention at Winston-Salem
granted Dr. Maddry a. two months
vacation’ and provided him with a
purse of $500 with which to1 defray ex
penses to the World Alliance. Dr. ,A.
-C. Hamby, who is at the head of the
enlistment and' rural church depart •
ment of the Board of Missions, will
act as corresponding secretary during
the absence of Dr. Maddry.
The State Baptist Young People’s
Union Convention, which is schedul
ed to meet at High'Point June 19-21,
will probably change the date to June
12-13, which, is the time k>t the annual
meeting of the Thomasvtlle Orphan
age, JUBt a few miles away. This will
enable the young people to attend the
annual meeting of the Orphanage as
well as the Convention. It is thought
thh change .will be made in dpe time,
though the question is not Yet set
tled.
Another meeting of vast importance
to the Baptist throughout the State

Irish Free State. . t ’
Senator Arrives
NEW YORK. Jan. 1.—Sir Horace,/
Plunkett, recently nominated to mem- .
bership in the Irish free state senate,
arrived here today on the steamship
Adriatic, commissioned by his govern
ment to study agricultural and methods ;
.employed by the United States in main
taining the congressional reference
library.
Another passenger was Mre. Clare
Sheridai, sculptor and writer, who re
cently created something of an inter
national furore by publishing an inter
view with Rudyard Kipling, in which
she quoted the famous British author
in criticism of America's war tint* and
post-war spirit. ' i
The steamer Hansa, from Hamburg, iij
preceded the Adriatic into port by a ,
few hours, claiming* the distinction of ■
being the first liner to dock this .’year..
She had on board several hundred Ger
man immigrants, the, first 1923 arrivals
at Ellis Island. ■, , *■-'
