7 FEU CENT MONEY PROMISED
BY APRIL 20
Klne Months Loans On Staple Pro
ducts Promised by
Officials
Washington, D. C, April 7. Indi
cations were given by the federal
farm loan board tonight that an in
terest rate Of 5 per cent would be
charged on loans mado by the new
intermediate credit banks. At the
same time announcement was made
by the board of tho official rules
and regulations governing loans un
der tho agricultural credits act.
While the interest rate to be
charged will be fixed by the credit
banks, subject to approval of the
farm loan board, farmers will be
able, if tho indicated interest rate is
accepted, to borrow money at 7 per
cent or less. The law specifies that
the rediscounting agency shall not
charge in excess of 1 per cent for
handling the obligations.
Commissioner Lobdell said he ex
pected some of tho banks would be
ready to make actual loans by
April 20.
Although it is not necessary that
the rates of the 12 banks be uni
form, board members believed they
likely would be. Mention was made
of the possibility that some redis
counting corporations, such as the
co-operative and other associations
made up strictly of producers, may
not take the full fee allowed them
fcy law, and it was pointed out that
any such action would make for
cheaper interest charges to the far
mers or livestock growers,
The opinion was general that a
rate of 5 Vi per cent, with the re
discount charge added, would mean
a material reduction to the average
farmer in interest.
The board has decided "for the
present" to limit loads under the
credits act to livestock, grain, wool,
cotton, tobacco and peanuts as
"staple agricultural products" with
in tho meaning of the law. Loans
on dairy products, eggs, fruits and
vegetables are left to futuro deter
mination but the exclusion of those
commodities, it appeared, is not in
tended to bo permanent.
The board, it was indicated, de
sired to give further study to rules
governing the handling of perishable
products.
A limitation of loans to nine
months' maturity also is prescribed
in tho regulations as the maximum,
whilo tho minimum life of security
to be taken by the credit banks war,
fixed at not less than "six months
from the date of the transaction."
The credit banks will accept tho re
ceipt of any warehouse licensed and
bonded under the federal warehouse
act, but in all other cases the ware
housing laws and regulations of the
state controlling" them must have
the approval of the farm loan board.
The regulations provide also that
the paid-in capital of agricultural
credit corporations must be $10,000
or more before loans may be granted
them on paper rediscounts for ad
vances for agricultural purposes in
the first instance. When loans of
any kind are made on livestock, the
rules specify, a collateral agreement
must accompany the security offer
ed so that additional security may
be supplied at any time the credit
bank so demands. Two examina
tions yearly of all corporations and
associations seeking rediscounting
privileges are required by the regu
lations, examination to be conduct
ed by national bank or land bank
examiners.
It is also stipulated that any cor
poration submitting debentures for
rediscounts with the credit banks
must deposit with the farm loan
registrars the securities upon which
the debentures are based.
Co-operative credit associations,
seeking rediscount privileges will be
required to file with the credit bank
of their district complete data con
cerning their charter, plans of oper
ation and statements of its counsel
that it has full authority under the
laws of its state to act as a redis
counting agency. All of these will
have to be approved by the farm
loan board, in addition to the local
credit bank before actual loan oper
ations aro permitted.

have acquired his disability in such
service or to have suffered an ag
gravation of pre-existent tubercular

to extending this period from
two years to three years in mental
and tubercular cases, this provision
eliminates tho qualification that the
tubercular condition must be pulmo
nary to entitle one to the benefits
of the presumption.
That a certificate of disability may
be obtained prior to March 4, 1924,
which, except in case of fraud, shall
be incontestable evidence that the
injury for which it is issued wai

That when a veteran of any wai

assets to meet the expense of burial
and transportation of his body, tho

10 DRILL FOR OIL NEAR
ILLS SPRINGS SOON
Residents and property owners in
tho Wells Springs district north of
lone are pleased with the prospect
of early development work in the oil
industry.
The Acme Extension company, ac
cording to reports from that district,
has recently taken over all the old
leases held by former promoters and
in addition have secured new leases
bringing their lease holdings up to
a total of 25,000 acres in the dis
trict. The new leases have been
taken with tho distinct requirement
that the company shall commenc ac
tual drilling with a standard oil rig
within th next 90 days or the leases
become void.
A water well drilled on the Zink
farm at Wells Springs several years
ago opened a small flow of natural
gas which has never failed and the
indications for opening an oil poo!
there are considered good.
It is understood the Acme company
has also secured leases on Butter
creek and on a district on the
Washington side of the Colum
and that their contracts in those dis
tricts regarding early drilling are
similar to Wells Springs contracts.
Ed Reitman, Dwight Misener'and
several other largo land owners in
that section, have recently leased
their holdings to the company.
cases may be made without applica
tion and retroactive where necessary
in accordance with regulations which
may be adopted by the director of
the Bureau.
That the right to compensation
for the period of service from which
such discharge is given not be bar
red unless a person was discharged
or dismissed, by sentence of court
martial. The act prior to thla ameCT
ment did not contain the proviso "by
sentence of court-martial."
Weather prophets are all off the
job, hence this excellent weather.

SHOW BIG SUCCESS
LOCAL
TALENT SHOWS IN' EAR
ARTIST CLASS
"Pantnjres Has Nothing on Heppner
ner" Was Verdict Of Well
Flensed Audience
The old idea that Heppner folk
have to go to Portland to see a real
vaudevillo show was absolutely dis
proved last Tuesday evening when
local talent entertained a S. R. O.
house at Star theatre.
Tho show was put on by strictly
local talent and every number was
a scream, a thriller, or, as described
by one enthuriastlc littlo flapper, it
was "The cat's eyebrows In vodoville
stuff."
Mrs. Roy Missihline, present chair
man of the library board, and who
has had extended experience in li
brary work In larger cities, was ac
tive in tho promotion and manage
ment of the show and was ably as
sisted by other members of the
board as well as many others who
are Interested In seeing the Heppner
library made a real institution in
this community.
The stunts were many and varied,
ranging from a mighty pretty Colon
ial minuet by a bevy of wee lassies
to the latest in dance acta, mono
McMurdo exemplified the latest
wonders in modern surgery; Kath
leen Monahan gave art Irish song
and dance with the grace of a real
Irish fairy; Clarence Bauman, well
known local athlete, gave a bag
punching act that showed fast and
furious work, and a song and dance
by Marjorie Clark and Tatrlcla
Mahoney were perfectly all right,
Monologues, dialogues and songs b.y
Mrs. Cochran and Mr. McCoy also
hit the right spot with, the audience,
getting a good linnd.
A song contest In which Frank
Turner, living Mather, Dean Good
man, Deb Clabaugh and Miss Doro
thy Hill competed wit.li a mammoth
land toothsome- cake as the prize, was'
one of the main features of the pro
gramme. Each contestant did nobly
in tho art of producing harmonious
sounds from their vocal chords and
when the decision was put up to a
vote of tho audience Frank Turner
took tho cake by a largo majority.
It may havo been his singing or it
may havo been the wonderful pink
gown and big, white picture hat that
won tho prize. Mr. Mather was a
closo second for tho honors 1n his
cannibal costume but It was a con
test between beauty and the beast
and beauty won.
Then Dean Goodman, In tho ca
pacity of theatrical manager, called
on volunteers from tho audience to
put on an Impromptu show and had
no trouble filling the space back of
tho footlights with stago struck
amateurs, among whom Frank Gil
liam and Davo McAteo loomed largo.
The manager then asked the au
dience to pardon the sottings for tho
act and to Imagine themselves In an
eastern forest, "Then," ho contin
ued, "we will show you the gather
ing of the Nuts Just as wo havo them
here." With these words ho waved
his hand and dismissed the company.
Mrs. Walter Mooro served as ac
companist for the entire program.
Tho show netted the library fund
around $180.00.
