Efforts to obtain cheaper credit for the farmers thus far'have failed to produce an appreciable effect on the Interest rates charged by banks "In the small cities and towns of agricultural sections of tlie west and south," accord- Ing to observations of the Federal Reserve Board In HB annual report made public today. The board says that the Interest rates of those financial Institutions remain practically unchanged despite the lowering of rediscount rates by the reserve banks In the last year and other moves designed to be of assistance to tho agricultural Industry. after making a eurvey of conditions, notes that there Is a much closer relationship between the Interest rates charged by banks In Industrial centers and tho reserve redls- By Associated Press WASHINGTON, D. 0., Feb.

Convinced that half a dozen aspirants already are making cautious overtures to test their strength as Republican presidential possibilities tor 1924, some of the friends of President Harding have begun work to assure him a renomlnatlon. Thus far the movement has not reached the proportions of a closely organization, but it has progressed to the point where It promises to make Itself felt In many states before the coming summer is well begun. The attitude of Mf. Harding himself toward a second term remains unannounced and it Is considered Improbable that he will make any public statement of- his Intentions at least In the near future. There is general agreement among those on the Inner circle of Washington poll tics, however, that a desire for public endorsement of his stewardship will Now that Wood River has voted In favor of establishing a city form of government instead of the village, the village board will meet Monday night to pass on some questions pertaining to the change in form of government.

It has not been decided whether there will be two or four wards In the new city. It Is said that the law permits having four In the city tho slee Of Wood River wili be when the Incorporation proceedings are completed. After the village board determines how many wards there will be and what the boundary lines are. then there will be candidates out for the offices of aldermen. It will be neces- 'sary to elect a long term and a short term alderman for each ward at the regular election to be held the third Tuesday In April.

Until that time the old village officers will continue to hold on, it Is said. A fujl complement of city officers must be elected to take bold with the beginning of the new city government. The only candidate who is positively known for mayor is tho present village president O. F. Nagel.

Whlteslde. Native of Green Tomorrow at Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Etta Morrison, wife of Morrison, dleii this morning at two o'clock at the home of Lawrence Bowman, her son-in-Jaw, at 2612 Maxey street Mrs. Morrison had been ill a year.

Last winter she suffered an attack of pneumonia, and it was believed at tho time she could not recover but after a long fight she im proved from the dangerous illness that was threatening her life at the time. Shw continued In a weak condition during the season that followed and during the past fall and win ter her decline was steady and grad ual and her family have been aware for some time of the fact that the mother could not last much'longer. Mrs. Morrison was a resident o' Greene county practically all her She and her husband left.their farm near Carrollton only a few years ago to come to Alton to live where thoy would be close to their two who are' residents of Upper Alton. She was 53 years old.

The Morrison family have resided The year 1922 was a period of almost continuous recovery from disorganized markets and depressed business conditions, the board says, ajnd adds that while the revival was primarily industrial in charter, tho farmers benefited greatly through generally improved prices for their commodities. Attention is called to the price of cotton at the end of the year, which accordingly to the report was 2 1-2 times "that of March and April, 1921. Some of these results the board be- ievoa were attributable to eased cred- conditions for the farmer. While it desires to be of aid to the farmer and has gone as far as present statutes appear to allow In that direction some critics, the board says, claim the broadened ruling of reserve regulations to be contrary to sound reserve banking principles.

None of the unsecured papers can be used as collateral tor Issues of federal reserve votes until such paper comes within six months of its maturity, the board i says, and as a result it doee not believe the legislation would add greatly to average maturities of paper held by the reserve banks or fully accomplished the end sought. In a discussion of general credit, attention is called by the board to tho unusual development in branch bank- Ing which marked 1922. While avoiding a direct statement on the subject, the board says the establishment of branches of strong banks, the building up of group financial Institutions and tho adoption of other methods of combining resources and lending powers appear to have been of some direct benefit in efforts to better finance the farmer.

Lowered interest rates In some sections where branch banking exists to a greater extent were seen as one tangible result of the new form of banking. As a result the Harding forces of 1924 is expected to resemble only In part the organization that triumphed in the nomination flglft of three years ago. Attorney General Daugherty, wno was the pre-cbnventlon manager for Mr. HardJng In 1920, Is expected to again take a hand in urging a re- nomination. But for several reasons Mr.

Daugherty is not expected by his friends to be as active as he was In 1920. His health recently failed him, requiring him to remain in bed for several weeks and although he was virtually recovered he cannot take the burden of travel and conference which would fall on an active campaign manager. In addition his official duties In the Department of Justice are expected to preclude him from being long absent from Washington, during the campaign. Several men who have long been prominent In party affairs have been mentioned as available for the more strenuous work of organization Charles D. Hilles, a former national chairman, Is one of those so considered, but he has made no statement thus far as to what part he would be willing to take in the pre-conven- tlon work.

Recently Mr. Hilles conferred with the president and they visited Mr. Daugherty in his sick Seek 1 Return. In the back ground of these considerations lies also the question of who 5 to manage the Republican cam- algn after the nomination has been made. The supporters of John T.

Young, who is here from with a view to selling the real estate which was the site of the Hoefert garage, recently destroyed by flre, was looking up old abstract on the property.and made the remarkable discovery that the property today is not worth as much as it was worth back in 1852. The abstract of the property begins with 1814.

It shows that in 1852 the property was being bought and sold and that one lot actually brought more than he had been offered since the fire for the lot. He asserted that he had been offered less for the lots than they actually were sold for in 1852. Mr. Younj; said that he plans to stay here a while to look after his real estate interests and he anticipates closing a deal for the sale, of the property to some of several applicants he is considering. cafeteria.

The cafeteria affords a lesson In economy. First of all, expenses are Blight, there being no "overhead," that constant worry of business. There Is no cost for waiters because students do the work for their meals. Then there Is no rent, another Important item. All that must be paid Is 'the salary of the cook and her assistant.

The result Is the students are given the utmost for their money. In the early uaye of the cafeteria, the prices were so regulated that expenses were paid and some funds secured for retiring the debt In the purchase of equipment. Now, when the proceeds become greater than expenses, the management is able to give a bit more for the money, so that patron's may be said to be getting food virtually at cost. Hence the "nothing-over-flve-cents slogan. Sandwiches are five cents each, a cup of coffee Is five cents, an order of meat, ie five cents, an order of potatoes Is five cents, an order of vegetables Is five cents.

This means, according to Miss Benner, that a good substantial meal, prepared with an eye to the food value of the victuals, can be secured for 20 cents. Or, If a person wishes a larger meal, 25 cents will suffice. of the two when the separation took place, and who was rational to the last, died first. Her husband died eight hours later, without knowing that he was not leaving behind his aged partner In life. The wife died at 12.45 yesterday noon and the husband died at 8 p.

He presented his resignation some time ago and It was made effective March. 1, Thcrefbre he was serving hla last day as an instructor in Shurtlett College.

Discus- ions of the subject here recently have brought to light, however, an attempt by the friends or Will H.

Hays, who managed the 1920 campaign, to reinstate him in the chair- The exact strength of tlys Hays boom Is yet to bo demonstrated, but is receiving serious notice among coterie of Harding supporters, who are laying the groundwork for his re-nomination. It is realized that If Mr. Harding is renomlnated, will be for him to say whether he desires to again seek the services of the man, who was at the helm when tho party rolled up its record break- ng majority of 1920. All of these subjects seem likely to be thrashed over soon after Mr. Harding concludes the months vacation In Florida, for which he will leave Washington early next week.

Attorney General Daugberty, In whom the president recently has expressed anew his complete confidence, will be one of the guests on the Florida trip, and after it is concluded it is possible that Mr. Hording and at least a part of tho party will proceed to Ohio to spend a few days on home soil. There he will have an op- punlty to see Republican state leaders and exitmlne the Republican organization Qf his home state, which last November elected a Democratic governor. It Is taken for granted that a solid Ohio delegation would be the first requisite to a convention line-up which would Insure a ronomlnatlon. Later In the summer Mr.

Hardlng's friends are predicting the presldoni will take a speech-making trip thai will carry him to the Pacific Const and will include about twenty ad dresses.

Early morning it looked as though no special car would.be'chartered, but many students were late to signify their intention of attending the tournament. The car will leave Alton at 4:30 p. returning about midnight. Last year many students from neighboring cities attended the tourney in Upper Alton.

As a result of various contributing causes, It Is the belief of political observers, that the campaign BO far as the Republicans are concerned at least, will be In ftill swing almost a year before the nominating convention.

Not the least of these causes Is the fact that seventeen states now have direct primary laws in which the buttle for delegates to the na tioual convention is fought long bo- fore the season heretofore set for state conventions. In all their calculations the primary system has been woll to the fore In the-minds of those who want the ro- nominatlon movement to develop smoothly. It Is realized that should the first states to hold primaries full to endorse Mr. Harding decisively the election over the remainder of the country might prove a great handicap In the months that followed. According to (utormfi.tl.un reaching the president's friends some of those who may be expected to shy theli hats Into tho riiig, are distinctly the favorite son class of candidate but even in their case the IhirdiDj, adherents believe there whould be woll established policy and that thuli should oltluT stay out favorlto sun stales entirely or eino go in diuurmiuuil to make credllublu ghowlag.

MRS.

She was born In England but came to America when a very Email child and has spent hor entlro life In the country north of this city. Mrs. Whyors had beon a sufferer from rheumatism for years and was an Invalid. Tho Immediate cause of hor death, however, was an attack of the grip that seized her a couple of weeks ngo. She was near 80 years old.

Mrsi Winnlfred Mason Huck, elected last November to complete the term of her father, William E. Mason, deceased, as congressman-at-large from Illinois, was defeated In her effort to retain a seat' after next Monday. She ran for the Republican nomination to fill the unexplred term of the late James R.

Mann, who was representative from the Second Illinois district. Mrs. Huck was defeated for the regular term as congressman-at-large last November, although chosjen to fill her father's un- explred term. Mrs. Huck polled 12,744 votes yes terday, running second In a alx cornered raco to Morton D.

Hull, former state senator, who was nominated with 12,842 votes. Barrett O'Hara, won the Democratic nomination in the second district. For tho first time the aldermanlc contests were along non-partisan lines inaugurated with the fifty-ward redistricting measure, which also changed the representation from two to one alderman from each ward. Back of Lltslnger In yesterday's primary were Arthur M. Millard, president of tho Masonic Bureau of Service, who polled 51,054 votes, and Bernard H.

Instance, were not in conformity with the views accepted By the clergymen who were subjecting him. to examination. The ordination preparations were therefore rupted and it was announced that Mr. Sellen had failed to come up to requirements to be ordained.

His replies to the questions propounded to htm caused a sensation among thosft who were in attendance and the story went out that Shurtleff College had a teacher In its employ who teaching the Bible, but who refused to accept some of the views quite commonly accepted by the Christian churches. The question had to da with the birth of Christ President Potter said today that when Mr. Sellen learned that his remaining with the college was causing trouble tor the school, he resigned. The work which was being done by Mr. Sellen will be taken over by other members of the faculty.

The young teacher who has severed -his connection with Shurtleff is graduate of Brown University at Providence, R. his home Is at Warren, R. I. To his home church, the case of Mr. Sellen has been referred.

He did not belong to any ot the local Baptist churches and was another technical point that would bar his being ordained here. However, that defect might have been cured but for the unsatisfactory answer he gave to a question considered vital, and of the greatest importance especially to a man teaching what he was teaching in Shurtleff College. Had he been teaching anything else, or had he refrained from, applying for ordination, his lack 06 harmony with commonly accepted Baptist beliefs would not have caused any trouble, as it would not to night.
