Development of a thorough code of law and business procedure with the i proper machinery of finance, to as sure the farmer as generous a supply of working capital on as reasonable terms as is granted ether industries, was advocated here today by Presi dent Harding in opening the National Agricultural conference. "An industry," he said, "more vital than any other, in which near half of the nation's wealth is invested, can be relied on for good security and cer Declaring that on the matter ofi what might be called fixed invest ment capital, the disadvantage of the farmer so impressed the public opin ion that the federal farm loan board was established to meet the need, the president said that the farmer still suggestions for tain returns." needed some provision for furnishing \ him with working capital.

After a time the doctor told his holiness that they were prayiqg for the peace of the world, to which the pope re plied: | a £°' but on ly early this week was j his condition sufficiently serious for i the public to be informed of it On Thursday of last week, while i His holiness was celebrating mass in 0*e Matilde chapel, he complained of feeling chills and was seized with a spell of coughing. Despite the urg I would willingly offer my life for the peace of the world." He then turned on his side and lay watching those near him. At one lucid period the pope was able to partake of nourishment; he then instructed the major domo to wake him in time for mass, to be cel ebrated at 5:30 a. m., in his chapel adjoining the bedroom. .. The illness of Pope Benedict, thus announced to have come to its fatal culmination, lasted only a few days» The first signs of his malady ap peared slightly more than a week ings of his attending cardinals, how ever, the pontiff finished the cere niony Stubbornly fighting off the incipi ent malady, the pope refused to take b' s bed and kept on attending s papel duties until Wednesday o and afterwards walked back the Vatican visibly fatigued.

Chairman Carlson demon strated his ability as a rapid-fire orator in his talk to the club and beat time to the finish. Wallace Or ton received a box of cigars as the prize-winner for the week, after George Dier had failed to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." It was announced that President Alfred Atkinson, of the Montana State »College will speak to the club next Monday. this week, when his physicians in about, Ur.

NEW TREATY. (Continued from Page One.) tility of many Republican senators to: participation of engagements of the i eVrsailles treaty, the consensus of opinion at tonight's conference was said to have been that action under the treaty of Berlin would be im practicable. Secretary Hughes was said to have expressed the opinion, with the con currence of the congressional lead ers, that negotiation of a new treaty with the German government to set up the war claims commission, wo^ld be a simpler solution. The president took the question under advisement and his visitors said they believed that the new treaty could be prompt ly negotiated and ratified with little difficulty. The opinion was expressed that the German government would accede to the proposal for a new treaty in view of the reported desxhe of German citizens to have their war claims ad-i justed and any surplus 0 f property . to FUTURE PROSPECTS. (Continued from Page One.) has been the case in almost all other good agricu tural United States. East and west of us lands, if based upon the producing capacity of the soil- This can only mean that when normal times shall signs pointing to the return of such times, the demand for our lands at pre-war prices will far exceed the demand for land in other parts at inflated prices- Even the pessimist will have to admit that we stand a fair chance for as great, if not greater, influx of people from other sections than we have known before, ('Capital* credits and interest al ways travel hand in hand. When capital and credit show weak, interest shows strong, but as soon as capital grows it takes credit along with it in its growth and reduces interest in proportion to this growth. Capital is sections of the land prices have during the past few years advanced to such an extent that a good deal of land has been sold at prices entirely out of propor tion to the actual value of these have returned, and there are many far from plentiful, nor is credit easily obtained, but interest shows a''decid ed weakening, and the signs are un mistakable for better times in that respect. It should not be. forgotten that the strain was noticeable in the east before it affected us, and the relief now clearly in evidence in the WÊÊÊK Ê eas ^ bas not as yet reached us to its M extent. These matters t.-avel slowly from east to west, but as sure as the strain reached us, just so sure will relief now reach us in equal pro portion Market conditions show a slight im provement. The recent gain in value of lambs must sooner or later affect all other classes of livestock; no one artic e of any commodity can long stand out above other articles of the same commodity. The grain market is considerably above its low point of last fall, and there is no good reason to expect a falling back to any large degree. Freight rates, which have been and are as yet such a handicap for the j gra i n growers of the west, have al j ready undergone some adjustment in j our favor This must be accepted as an acknowledgement that existing j ra tes are detrimental to agriculture, us well as for railroads,, and it is not unreasonable" to expect further improvement before very long. Unit ed action towards further reduction j may soon result in an acceptable rate : for .all concerned. i "Taxation will need revision. How ever, it should not be overlooked that present expenditures are based upon conditions of two or three years ago, and that radica changes cannot be brought about over-night. With «in cere, united and unselfish action this matter can be adjusted so that our tax burdens may be relieved to some extent, without crippling such work and institutions which make toward happiness in the community in which we live "Material things only in part mak? us happy. A fine neighborly spirit. i. i Railroads and agriculture can no prosper alone; they must go together; we cannot market our products with out the railroads, nor can the rail roads long continue without the farm ers having crops to be hauled to mar ket.
