Bishops from 21 areas of the United States and at least six from foreign countries are expected to attend the semi-annual meeting of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church in Indianapolis June 21 to 26, according to Dr. F. D. Leete, bishop of Indianapolis area. The meeting will be for the purpose of fixing the dates of the annual con ferences and fall meetings, according to Bishop Leete. The naming of the ibishops who will preside at the ses sions also will be determined, he said. There are approximately 140 meetings annually in the United States, and most of them are held in the fall, ac cording to the bishop. The general question of denomina tional policies and board actions will be other business to be considered. The meetings will be executive, it was said. A public reception, however, has been planned for the night of June 21. ized, is dependent upon the view which Congress entertains of its use fulness. This experiment of the Gov ernment in the business of direct fi nancing of citizens has been eubjeci several times since its organization either to change of purpose or the change of complete abandonment. . The War Finance Corporation is one of the biggest banks in the world, and it is conducted by the Govern ment of the United States. It has a capital of $500,000,000 in Government funds, and authority to issue bonds to vast amounts. The original act creating the Corpo ration was approved April 5, 1918. This was entirely a war measure. It wilt be recalled that when the United nance Corporation. But that is an other story, which, if followed, would open a discussion of the whole post war boom and the subsequent price recession. At any rate, little export financing was done by the Corpora tion and, the war being over, there was no more of the war aid financing to be done. The business of the Cor poration sagged. In fact In May, 1920, the Board of Directors of the Corporation of which; Secretary of the Treasury Houston then was Chairman, adopted a resolu tion suspending activities. No new loans were made; the Corporation's offices merely collected payments on the loans outstanding. That summer came the heavy fall during Federal control. When It ap-j peared that the railroads were to dire need of funds, following their return i to their owners, the War Finance Corporation arranged to sell these se curities to the public, thus raising fund3 to advance to the railroads. A brief summary will show how much money this great Government bank has advanced to different groups of the American people: Advances made to May 13 to finance exports have amounted to $50,250,120. Of this sum $33,572,373 has gone to aid cot ton eiDorts. and $5,209,810 for rrain. Other commodities exported under! this assistance include tobacco, cann-l ed fruits, meat products, condensed milk, textiles, sheet steel, copper, su gar mill machinery, agricultural ma chinery, railroad equipment and lum ber. Advances for the relief of agricul tural and livestock interests from Aug ust 24, 1921, when this activity was authorized, to May 13, the latest date for which figures have been compiled, aggregate $297,684,133. This financing includes cotton, grain, livestock, sugar beets, rice, canned fruits, dried fruits, peanuts, tobacco and general agricul tural purposes. Much of this assist ance was advanced through coopera tive fanning associations. Advances made to banking and financing insti tutions amounted to $239,161,914, and that portion made through the coop eratives to $53,522,219.. Of all these advances, whether to banks, cooperatives, or exports, $347. 934,253 has been in aid of the agri cultural industry, and this vast suml has been lent in a period when farmrj or.

Teachers were the compelling force that brought 480 students to Indiana j the corporation. One of the first ad- them going. The Government recog nized that this was injurious, so this Corporation was authorized to make loans to enterprises of almost any character which were engaged upon work tending to assist in the prosecu tion of the war. Some of the compa nies making war material were in fi nancial difficulties and loans were made to them. Street car companies which carried employees in munition factories to and from their work were eligible to receive aid. Many other companies, some of them seemingly remotely connected with the prosecu tion of war, were found to be perform ing some duties which helped the cause and therefore received loans. Coupled with this function, the War Finance Corporation Act gave to the Capital Issues Committee, which it created, the authority to suppress the issue of blue sky stocks and bonds, that Is securities of a doubtful value, in order that funds bo conserved for Investment in Government bond3 and legitimate private enterprises. Help for Cattlemen As the war developed, it was found desirable to expand the functions of ment bank could be turned to almost any purpose. There were many who opposed the revival, declaring that it was time the Government got out of business. After a spirited contest, the Corpo ration was revived by congressional action, and proceeded to make loans to stimulate exports. It had been urged that if exports of farm products could be stimulated, prices of thesa goods would rise and the American farmer would be relieved. Then In August, 1921, the Corpora tion's organic act again was amended to permit it to make advances on ag: guests were Mrs. W. P. Kennedy, Mrs. F. T. Dubois, Mrs. Garret Pig man, Mrs. C. G.

Portage county has the honor of having formed th first organization for business and hired a paid county agent to look after its interests. From this start, the idea has spread, with, some changes in the type of organiza tion, until there is now a voluntary organization of farmers into & farm bureau in every county in Ohio, with a paid county agent. During this per iod, these county organizations have" federated into a state organization, the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, which had a membership of more than 100,000 farmers in Ohio the first of this year. In Portage county the first organi zation was formed primarily to get better roads for the farmer. Later or ganizations, however, cbmbined & num ber of ideas and projects which came primarily through the extension work of Ohio State University. This exten sion work started largely in agricul tural education work, through schools and boys' and girls' clubs.

Mr. Cravens recently issued a questionnaire in an effort to learn just what brought students to Indiana university. Replies were various, Mr. Cravens said, eight co-eds attributed their presence to "due" or "undue" influ ence of husbands. "Friends" are credited with obtaining 465 students for the university 251 men and 214 women. Two hundred and sixty four women, looking back . through the tangled memories of "prep" days, re ditional powers it was given was to make loans to cattlemen on their stock. It was shown that many cat tlemen were killing off their stock because they could not get enough money from the banks to carry them over the winter. It was recognized that the country must have food, and that it would be a national calamity to permit the stockmen to kill their immature stock for lack of financing.

In ad dition, 108 students said they came be cause their fathers or mothers were at some time undergraduates at the uni versity.

Each committee was, in effect, a local agent for the great Govern ment bank at Washington. A farmer, needing credit, would borrow from his local bank. The local bank would turn the note over to the committee which would forward it to Washing ton to the Corporation. The Corpo ration would advance money against it. Of course, not every note made by a farmer would fit the require ments of the law and regulations.

This was regarded as an undesirable development, so steps were taken to stimulate exports. The belief was that if American exporters could extend credit to foreign buyers, the foreigners would take American! goods in substantial quantities. It wasi arranged that the American exporter, upon granting credit to the foreigner, could then borrow of the War Finance Corporation which would await pay ment from abroad.
