"The little girl was leing chased by
an older brother when she ran out
from behind a street car and struck
the back end of the truck. Michael

not the impact of her striking the

accident. He. picked the injured
child up and rushed her to the hos

on a greater scale is under consider

of the finance corporation, it was an
nounced today.
The information came from J. M,

ers, lnc, and from President J. It
Howard of the American Farm Bu
reau federation.
. Letters to Director".
Mr. Mchl taid letters had been sent
fo the directors for their opinion on
certain changes, but that all had not
'replied. He said a statement would
be made nnblic soon. - Mr. Howard
stated that he understood the replies
received indicated a new and enlarg--ed
finance corporation would be at
tempted. The Farmers Finance corporation
was incorporated in 'Delaware, but
encountered opposition from the se
curities commissions of Indiana, Min
nesota, and other states, largely, it
was said because of the concentra
tion of power in the board of di
rectors. "The fact is that we sought at
this time . to finance only grain,
whereas in the long run cotton, to
bacco, live stock and other farm
products must be financed,' said
President Howard. Ohio and Iowa
have already arranged for state fi-;
nancing corporations, while Nebraska
and Minnesota farmers are consider
ing similar action. Assuming that oth
er state will fall in line, there would
seem to bs need for a national clear
ing house for them and sentiment
seems to be that this should be
broad enough to care for all needs
of the co-operative movement, in
stead of gram alone. The board of
directors would represent all lines of
agriculture, instead of grain alone."

gone three times as far rather than
be ' without it," said John Aye, a
well-known retired larrrier of Elk

I had always been in good health
until a short while ago, but for over
a month before I began taking Tan
lac I didn't know what it was to
eat a good, hearty meal. Everything
I ate lumped in my stomach', turned
sour- and made 'me feel - miserable,
ily liver was all out of order, too,
and then rheumatism got in my
shoulders and knees' so bad I could
hardly get about My sleep was all
broken up, too, ana in tne mornings
I felt worse than I did when I went
