Four High freight "rates. Five Credit limitations. , CUKES FOR TROUBLE. The joint committee In its January report will recommend these measures to help the farmers: One Provide the farmer with the same credit facilities .as other business men enjoy. . Two Permit him to organize his selling power by joining cooperative associations, removing the marketing bogey of prosecution under the Sher- , liia.li atL. Three Give him accurate current agricultural statistics on which he can base his production and marketing. RELIEF ON CREDITS. "The trouble with farm credits," Anderson says, '"is that small local banks in farm communities can't carry the farmer, on credit long enough. "It takes the farmer a year to raise a. crop. It takes him two yars"to , raise a steer for the market. His turnover is slower, than in 'other businesses. "We .could remedy the credit situation by letting the small, banks turn notes over to the farmer's long-tim- e iJarm. loan; banks and in turn to federal reserve banks and dis counting ' . them. . "Thus the farmer would have his long-tim- e loan and the small bank would have money to put out on ' Ishort-tim- e loans." -' oo - , : ... 20 ; I 26 J - , , , Rs . . 28 - I 29 ' - , I J - L (By NEA Service) WATERLOO, la,, Oct. 22. At the age of 86 William T. Whitney, wealthy retired farmer and one of the few remaining survivors of Iowa's pioneer lays, looks back on life as a. disappointment. : Z. He welcomes death, and has made U his preparations for it. even to the writing of his own funeral sermon. a lomDstone name has been cut with Whitney's already and the date of his birth 1835. A grave has t been dug, cemented up with solid concrete sides and a bottom to a thickness of eight inches. A mason is under contract to construct a cover of cement six inches thick and to face the - grave with two layers of . brick after Whltnev is buried "I ll be placed in that hole to sleep," says Whitney, "and I want to be assured that my rest will be 1 h Wealthy Iowan Digs Own Grave, Erects Monument; Provides for Funeral 2 'I v. . .

The funeral doc-me- nt that he himself has written will be read by a personalfriend. .. "If I write what I believe, I shall not please my friends," reads this strange message. 'if j write to please my friends. I shall be false to myself. So, without wishing to be odd , it seems best, to die and be buried In A silence. no have I disposition to criticise others. They have-a- s good a to right to their opinions as mine. Only ignorance is arbitrary. Humanity is my religion. I know nothing beyond the skies. I leave the dead where nature leaves them. ' "We cannot say whether death is a wall or. a door, the beginning or end of a day. If there is a world of joy, so much the better. "Love is the only bow on life's lark clouds. Without it we- are less tnan beasts with it earth is heaven and we are gods," LIVED WITH INDIANS. Whitney after .family sorrows In his early life, spent years living with a tribe of western later all over the Indians, west, in Pan roaming ama and Mexico, and finally return-- : ing to Waterloo' to die'. , "Life is a disappointment. ' I con-- i a sider it misfortune to have been born,' he says. "I am . writing to welcome death. But death mocks me and seems- to - laugh and to say 'I anVin wo hurry, for you!'-- . e-:- II .
