Repub lican efforts on behalf of agricul ture in the party's seven years of post-war administration were detail ed today by Senator Curtis, republi can vice-presidential nominee. Speaking at the invitation of the American Farm Bureau to a New York state fair assemblage, the Kan sas senator confined his prepared re marks principally to the agricultural situation.

Taking up the record on farm leg islation back in 1918, when the re publicans won control of congress, the senator described the condition of agriculture then as "acute" and requiring "quick relief." "When President Harding came in to office on March 4, 1921, he and the members of the cabinet and re publican members of congress real ized that early action on legislation to relieve the farmers should be had," he declared, "sb the emergency tariff act was passed and signed. "Soon after President Harding was inagurated a law was enacted author izing the war finance corporation to extend further credits to aid in car rying and disposing of agricultural products and to provide credit for agricultural purposes. Co-Operatives Authorized. "A measure authorizing the organ ization of co-operative associations of producers of agricultural products was passed. "The farm loan boarfl was unable to meet the demands upon it for loans, and I introduced a bill author izing 50 million dollars of the bonds, which enabled it to resume loaning on farm property. This bill was passed. "The act on March 4, 1923, to pro vide credit facilities for agriculture and live stock industries is of the greatest importance, puts the agri cultural producers for the first time on an equal footing with other in dustries in regard, to., credit facil ities. "The intermediate frj credit act of March, 1923, gave to the farmer longer credit, and provided for loans on stock, crops and to co-operative associations. Twelve , intermediate credit banks were established." World-Herald. MRS.

Buy the Boy a New Suit! ' Smith Puts the Ban upon Open Air Speeches Candidate Plans Extensive Use of Sadio to Give Voters His Views Itinerary Not Planned Spring Lake, N. J., Aug. 27. As sured by political lieutenants that all's well in New Jersey from the standpoint of his presidential candid acy, Governor Smith started back to day to New York, concerned chiefly over the arrangement of his speech making itinerary. By next week, the democratic nom inee believes it will be possible for him to announce where he will strike first, and give some inkling as tc the states he will invade before elec tion day. One thing is certain, the gover nor will abstain from the open-air speeches to conserve his voice. He has expressed that determination and that means that he will speak at no outdoor rallies and will make no campaign speeches from the rear end of his train, once he sets out on his travels. The nominee also is of the opin ion that he should make only a limit ed number of speeches, at strategic centers, utilizing the radio to the ut most to spread his views to the voters of the nation.

There is little doubt that he will devote considerable time to the east, central west and some of the border states. Whether he will go to the Pacific coast remains to be determin ed, and the advisability of making a speech or two in the south is In the balance. Surrounded by a cheering throng that had waited until nearly mid night .to greet him. Smith delivered his first campaign speech on the steps of city hall at Newark. N. J.
