r Washington, Nov. 8.?More than
I* $22,600,000 in credit has been ex- '
' tended to farmers and stock men
V. during the two and one-half months 1
\ since congress authorized the war fin- !
' ance corporation to make advances <
&V for agricultural and live stock pur- <
'I'' poses, according to figures made a- <
| vailable tonight by that agnecy.
?. . Reports of the corporation's ac- i
p tivities since August 24, when the .
?? agricultural and live stock authority ]
^ became operative, showed a total ]
v credit in excess of $22,500,000 estab- i
r liahed with about 82 financial instii-;
tutions located in 19 states for the 1
v purpose of making loans to farmers 1
r* ana StoCK raisers.
p: Among the states in which corpor- ]
ation advances for these purposes \
r ; have been made are: Georgia, North1]
.Carolina, South Carolina and Virgin- '<
ia.
. The 82 advances made so far range i
from a few thousand dollars up to ]
one of $15,000,000 to a cooperative <
^ ?aaaacia^iftruof Minnesota and North <
and South Dakota to assist in the ]
fmarketing of grain. Where advances ?

|v-'- Hon, officials explained a credit is 1
set up which can be drawn against (
as the need arises but where the ad- <
vance is made to a bank or financial }
*r- - . - . _
institution the loan is made at once.
Funds for advances, officials said, ]
? are obtained from the corporation's '
balance with the treasury which, at ]
Esfirthe
time these operations were began, ;
amounted to about $430,000,000. 1
There has been some discussion, it *
was said, of a bond issue by the corrrr
poration to provide funds for its op- :
t; erations but it is understood that it
would be left to Secretary Mellon to
decide whether the treasury would
prefer to do the financing itself and
meet the needs of the corporation as
desired or let that agency go into the ?
investment market itself to nrvoide
f-: for its advance.
Applications for agricultural live
ED* - '
Stock loans are coming in steadily, it
was stated.
In addition to its domestic financ- ,
ing, officials said, the corporation is I
r- continuing to finance American products
for export to foreign markets, j

WELL DRESSED MAN?MARQUIS
SAJONJI LIKELY TO BECOME
PREMIER WHEN NEW
CABINET IS FORMED.
Tokyo, Nov. 8.?Ryichi Nakoka,
the youth who last night assassinated
Premier Takashi Hara, is now
thought to have been a tool in a conspiracy
to kill the statesman. Thorough
search is being made for a well
dressed, unidentified man who was
observed hurriedly leaving the railway
station at Otsuka, where the
crime was committed, at the moment
Nakoka plunged his sword into the
premier's breast. The authorities believe
this man to have been the. instigator
of the assassination.
Premier Hara was about to take a
train at 7:30 o'clock for Kioto to attend
n mppt.incr nf the Seivukai Dartv.
** ""-"o v- ? f v
With him were a number of the party
leaders, including Hajim Motoda,
former minister of communications;
Heikchi Ogawa, Genji Matsunda one
)f the party whips,'and M. Yoshiyu.
As Mr. Hara passed through/ the
ticket onto the station platform, Naioka
leaped at him and, exclaiming
'The country's enemy!" plunged a
short sword into his left breast, the
jlade puncturing a lung. The assassin
was seized while the fallen prenier
was carried to the station mas
;er's room. First aid was aamimsxer;d
and he was taken to his home. He
iied within a few minutes after his
irrival there.
News of the attack had been immediately
dispatched to Emperor
JToshihito, who sent his lord chamberlain
to the premier's bedside. Crown
Prince Hirohito was dining at the
Tokyo club when word reached him.
rhe party dispersed, the prince sending
Baron Aarata Hamao, his lord
steward, to the Hara residence. The
fortnightly dance at the Imper'al hotel,
attended by many prominent
Japanese, and other gatherings
throughout the city, were summarily
suspended as the sad news was
spread.

of differences between buyer and
seller.
Elimination of "bad check" evil.
Higher standard of credit among consumers.
Lower prices on merchandise by
reducing over head burden of retailers.
At the outset the South Carolina

I the local chambers 01 commerce, ana
