Washington. Dec. 8.?The congressional joint committee hearing on the agricultural situation last week developed into a dispute at times quite heated, between Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board and members of congress. "Mr. Chairman, what is the purpose of this hearing?" Governor Harding finally demanded, while he questioned Representative Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina. "Is the Federal Reserve Board on trial; am I on trial here?" he questioned, declaring he has been a target for "all kinds of abuse." Representative Byrnes said he meant no reflection on Governor Hardin g. Circulars issued by the regional reserve bank of Richmond, Va., to member banks, and which Mr. Byrne was attempting to show had resulted in rigid restriction of farmers' credits, were under discussion. Governor Harding said such circulars we're not submitted to the board until printed, when they were looked over and attention of the issuing regional banks called to anything the board deemed unwise. Not a Central Bank. The board, he added, was not a central bank. Senator Elect Heflin, Alabama, asked Governor Harding if the lawmakers could issue a statement to the public as understanding his testimony to be that the reserve board was favorable to banks extending all the credit possible to farmers. ?'PU? 1 I. 1 V Lite luuuiai itBCi ?c duui u |)it.Mt*rs | to issue its own statement." Governor Harding replied. Approving efforts of the Richmond bank to restrict loans for non-essential purposes in 1019. Governor Harding said: "I know some banks in South Carolina had been carrying large loans on cotton since 1917, in the face of an active market." Holding such cotton then, he added, on reserve bank funds was "plainly speculating." Houston Sees Nothing Secretary Houston, who preceeded Governor Harding, strongly opposed projects to rivive war finnance corporation for purpose of financing sales abroad of surplus farm products. Present price declines were due to readjustments following war, he said, and he saw no solution for the problem although the treasury department had voted more thought to this than to any other subject for the last two months. Answering the charge of profiteering on the part of the reserve banks Governor Harding, said they had earned 6.9 per cent on their capital stock of $100,000,000 and the reserve balances of the banks amounting to J$l,800,000,000. Doubt that exports could be in - i creased unless some way was found for increasing Europe's buying power and ability to furnish requisite securities was expressed by Secretary Houston. He did not see, he added how much relief could be xpected at this time in that way. He had no doubt, Mr Houston said, that the war change corporation would "function" should Congress recreate it, but he added: "T believe it would be agaiist the public interest." i n ?*"*? ?

SAYS NO DANGER PEACE IN GERMANY t Foreign Editor of Paris Paper Describes Conditions Across the Rhine. Paris.?"Germany today does not endanger peace," writes Jean Her' betts, foreign editor of Le Temps, in ! in ariiole devoted to both the military and economic conditions across the Rhine. M. Herbette has been traveling through Germany for some cime, gathering material. ? "The most competent persons, speaking Tor the Allies," he continues, ' affirm that Gernulny is materially incapable of commencing a great war within a goodly number of years." Disarmament, so far as artillery is concerned, he says, is proceeding satisfactorily. "The number of cannon de'iverod is in the neighborhood of 2S,000 and about six-sevenths now have been destroyed. On the other s hand Germany is far from having sur ; rendered enough rifles (hardly 2,000- i 000) and machine guns." Disarming ! of the civil population, now going on, I is expected to yield better results. Disarming of the German navy by J the British also is in progress, "and is being carried on with exceptionable ! vigor." i "In addition to all this," comments J M. Herbette, "the prestige of the mili tary has fallen unbelievably low beyond the Rhine." Organizations of former officers, he says, are beingformed constantly and Germans, if they wished war, would find officers to lead them but, except in Bavaria and Possibly East Prussia these associations. are isolated and grc wing rusty." To illustrate how the military spirit persists he tells of a young j lieutenant he knows who nuts on his i uniform and wears all his decorations | at breakfast?but who does not appear in uniform in public. "The masses of workers," he adds, "suffered too greatly during the wai either at the front or by the privations behind the lines not to destest the military regime, which, in return for all their sacrifices, brought only a disaster without parallel. One can pay without exaggeration that the, population of the industrial regions is profoundly anti-militarist. "Germany has, then, neither the material nor the morale required for ' a vast offensive. She could only un- j dertake upon occasion small military operations upon her eastern and southeastern frontiers. But her western neighbors would stop her quickly and she knows it. "in the last analysis, the peace of Europe depends only upon the allies." o PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN {Behold the CLassy Loafer with a Fu- , .nlgnting Fag pasted to his Lower LLp, waiting for a Good Job to Turn Up. when he Is going to Blow this Hick Town.

Fertilizer people in the South are greatly interested in the statement of the United biates Department of Agriculture that "what may prove to be a revolutionary development in the fertilizer industry of the world has been reached here." This comes about by reason of Jhe solving of the problem of extracting phosphoric acid from phosphate rock by heating mixtures of this mineral and coke to a melting temperature in a fuel-fed furnace. The new process has been worked out on an approximately commercial basis at the experimental station at Arlington, Va. The phosphate used for fertilizer in the United States comes largely from deposits of the rock in Florida. There are also large deposits in both Tennessee and in South Carolina, where the rock was first exploited for this purpose. The established method for producting soluble phosphate has consisted in treating the rock with sulphric acid. In practice, a quantity of sulphuric acid equal to the quantity of the rock is used, and the resulting product, which is known as acid phosphate, contains only one half the percentage of phosphoric acid contained in the rock fiom which it was derived. The elaborate ? aiiu ati feu 11^ process now used in preparing phosphate rock for treatment with sulphuric acid often results in the loss of two-thirds of tne rock, and it was with a view to saving this large waste of phosphate that the new process was evolved. While the actual cost of the new process in a large industrial plant is difficult to estimate with accuracy, it was found that the fuel consumption was only about fifteen per cent of the value of the product, while with the sulphuric acid process the cost was seldom below 22 per cent. It is believed that the new process will prove of the utmost importance to the fertilizer industry'and to the farmers who are compelled to use a constantly increasing amount of commercial fertilizer. BELIEVE SABBATH OF BABYLONIAN Mi Dr. Albert T. Clay, curator of the Babylonian Seminary at Yale University, says in "Miscellaneous Inscriptions in the Yale Babylonian Collection:" "In a large archive of temple documents in the Yale collection, discovered at Warka, the ancient city of Ivrech, there is found a group of twenty-three tablets which contain monthly receipts of sheep, which were apparently intended for temple service. I "he important feature of these lists (tablets) seem to be the item following certain days of the month, , usually the 7th, 14t*h, 21st and 28th, which reads 1 hl-it-pi?'one offering.' The writer does not know of any other occurrence of the word hitpi in the cuneiform language, but it is probably the same as a word found in an A ramie inscription on an oblong vessel used for libation purposes, discovered in the Serapaeum at Memphis. "The word has been read hot pi, and is translated 'offering' and is regarded as an Egyptian loan word. Since the inscription is Aramic, although found in Egypt, it is not improbable that the hitpi of these texts is the same. This may seem somewhat precarious, yet .it is a natural inference, for the word also seems to mean 'offering* or 'sacrifice.' "In no instnee," Dr. Clay points out, "does it (the offering) follow this periodical seventh day. There can be but little doubt that the regularly appointed time for the of iering was on tne 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th (lays; but it was occasionally made upon a previous day. As is well known, the Sabbath among the Hebrews at the "present time begins shortly after sunset on the sixth dav." The number of days in the month, he adds, do not seem to have had anv bearing upon these variations. "These tablets, with this interesting phenomenon, furnish the first actual observance of anything that suggests the existence of a parallel to the Sabbath in Babylonia, and has an important bearing upon the question, which has been frequently discussed, as to whether the Babylonians did observe such day. Some hold th*?t the Hebrew Sabbath had its oVigin in Babylonia and others that the observance of such a sacred occasion was carried into the country by Semites from the west." In another book, "Amurru, the Home of the Somites," Clay goes into this subject a little more deeply.
