The squared issue was presented by Sen ator Gronna, who has sent his son into the regular army as a private Of the many Prussian exiles from their "Fatherland" he had talked with, he knew of none who did not condemn this system.

By a vote of 251 to 6, tha House passed the bill authorizing the Sec retary of. Agriculture to use $7, 600,000 in 'loans to indigent farmers who need seed wheat, barley, rye and corn, with $2,500,000 for use in the "voluntary mobilization" of farm labor. The last rally, against the bill on a motion to- recommit. was headed by economists from South Carolina and other States which are made safe for Democracy by colored Republicans.
