Display advertising by the churches
means simply that this ite.n of ex

making the mission of thv churches
more effective if possible. The belief
is that such advertising will tend to

minds of newspaper readers and to
draw them to church as it craws them
to other places. This prominence of j

are no more expected to g ve it free,

than the man who sells c.ir.l is able
to suuply the church furnace with
free fuel, or a profess or.;.! rr.u-ieian

SENATOR SIMMONS FLANS
AID FARMERS
Senator Simmons has introduced a
bill in Congress designed to furni
banking facilities for the farming in
dustr. The War Finance Corpora
tion, wnich has extended much aiii
to agricultural activities, goes out of
; existence in July. Senator Simmons'
plan is to create c system which will
not only take the Lee of that agency
but will go furthtr in the direction
of farr.ishing raw producers adequate
financial facilities. Everybody admits
that the farnuts r. -id a syste.H pe
culiarly adapted to .heir needs, which
are e!entiall difierent from tlmse
of mti'canti e ar.d coman n ial busi

taking to supply this need. On this
subject Harvey Jordan, of Georgia,
secretary of the Anuriean Cotton As
sociation, says:
The agricultural industry of the
nation requires a short-term sjstem
of finance covering loans from six
months to three years and to be total
ly divorced from the operations of
the federal Keserve
