George Gover Streett, one of the owners and editors of the Harford Democrat, a weekly newspaper published in Belair, died at his residence here this morning after a short illness. He had been ill for about a week, but on Tuesday his condition was improved and he visited the county fair. That night he suffered a stroke of paralysis, and this, together with acute stomach trouble, were the immediate cause of his death. Mr. Streett was 53 years old and the son of Joseph M.

Streett. He had been engaged in the newspaper business with his father for about 30 years. He was educated at the Belair Academy and graded schools. Besides his father, he leaves a wife, who was formerly Miss Eleanor Ogier, of Baltimoi'e two sons, Ogier George Gover Streett, and four sisters, Mrs. Swepson Earle, of Baltimore Mrs.

The impassioned speakers for agriculture said the farmers of the country were willing to break even, even to take a slight loss, but they could not stand the present prices.

Both merchants and farmers in the agricultural regions, speaker after speaker asserted, are on the verge of bankruptcy, and Mr. Wan-namaker said he knew instances where farmers had lost the accumulations of a lifetime and were talking of suicide. REVIEWS TREASURY'S FUXCTIO Throughout the morning Secretary Houston heard these pleas with expressions of sympathy for the farmer, but offset these statements by a cold, analytical review of the functions of the Treasury Department, the Reserve system and the banks of the country. Members of the Reserve Board listened in silence at the later sessions and when the conferences adjourned the only tangible thing the farmer visitors had was the promise that the Reserve Board, at its fall conference with regional directors and governors, would issue a statement concerning the entire financial business situation of the United States. Charles S.

Barrett, president of the National Farmers' Union, called a meet Principal Reason For Quotations Belns Rates Demanded For Ce- ment And Stone Gravel Highways Not Increased. ing tonight for the farmer delegates still in Washington to prepare a written memorandum for consideration of the Reserve Board before its makes its announcement Saturday. President Barrett said a committee would be named "to stay here until we get something, as we cannot go back home with things standing as they axe today." Asserts War Finance Body Could Help In Crisis New York, Oct. 14. The War Finance Corporation, if permitted to function at this time, could help in the present crisis of the cotton markets, in the opinion of Eugene Meyer, former managing director of the corporation.

The help could be extended, said Mr. Meyer in a statement tonight, by having the War Finance Corporation do exactly the things it was doing when its activities were suspended by the Secretary of the Treasury on May 10. i Mr. Meyer's statement was made in reply to a telegram from George R. James, of Memphis, asking advice as to what help the corporation could be at this time and how the money could be raised.

"Money for the War Finance Corporation, in my opinion," Mr. Meyer stated, "could now be raised to the extent of $250,000,000 to $500,000,000 by the issue that it cost him nearly 40 cents to produce. John Tromble, of the wheat fields and live stock ranges of Kansas, said wheat had dropped $1 a bushel and corn almost as much. Fifty per cent, of the farmers in his State, he said, would not raise a hog next year because of losses sustained this year and cattle raisers are quitting the business. A speaker for the long staple cotton industry of Arizona and the Southwest reported a drop of nearly $1 a pound and said he was laughed at when he tried to sell this costly staple to mills in the East or to borrow money on it at the banks.

Former Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina, made equally pessimistic report regarding the tobacco industry. REPORTS 03T IiOUISIANA. Dr. Roy O. Young, of Louisiana, stpeaking for sugar, rice and cotton, declared that "all the member banks of the Southwest section of Louisiana have borrowed up to their limit from the reserve system." "I think you are wrong," said Comptroller Williams.

"I know I am not, or the banks are not telling the truth," retorted Dr. Young. "Three-fourths of the banks in the country are not borrowing from the re If you have roaring, buzzing noises in your ears, are getting hard of hearing and fear Catarrhal Deafness, go to your druggist and get 1 ounce Pannint (double strength), and add to it Pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar.

Are you going to let Germany starve because you want to save your own dollar, and would you have starvation in this country, too, while doing it? You know Germany must live and I would lend to Germany because she must live."

DELEGATES MORE HOPEFUL. Beyond the previous promise that the board would issue a statement late this week outlining a fiscal policy, the board gave no encouragement to the farmers.
