Presidents . and double-0 Franklin Roosevelt is the third successive President to have a dou ble "o" in his name. He is also the third President whose surname is the same as that of one of his pre decessors. We have had two Pres idents Adams, two Presidents Har rison, and now two Presidents Roosevelt Mr. Roosevelt is the third Presi dent of Dutch descent, Martin Van Buren and Theodore Roosevelt be ing the other two. He is likewise the third President elected in his fifty-first year. If there is luck in odd numbers President Roosevelt ought to have plenty of it. Masons . . . as Presidents President Franklin Roosevelt is the thirteenth member of the Ma sonic Order to be President of the United States. I have often heard some of my Masonic brethren say that every President has been a Mason, but that is not true. Washington was Master of his Lodge. Mqnroe, Jackson, Polk, Bu chanan, Monroe, Garfield, McKin ley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Harding were Masons. There Is no Masonic record to prove that Jefferson was a member of the Or der, but there is collateral evidence which is taken and accepted Ma son Ically as Indicating that he was. Mr. Taft was not a Mason before he was elected, but the Grand Lodge of Ohio made him a "Mason at sight," between his election and his Inauguration. President Roosevelt was recently Initiated Into one of the Masonic societies, the Tall Cedars of Leb anon. Religions . . of Presidents President Roosevelt will be the ninth member of the Protestant Episcopal Church to be President of the United States., It is a curi ous thing that this small denomin ation Should have had more repre sentatives in the White House than any of the other branches of the Christian Church. There are less than two million Episcopalians In America compared with nearly eight million Baptists, but only one President Harding, was a Baptist There are nearly twenty million Roman Catholics and none has ever been President. One President, Coolldge, was a Comgregatlonalist, one. Garfield, a member of the Dis ciples of Christ, one, Hoover, a Quaker, two, Van Buren and Theo dore Roosevelt, belong to the Dutch Reform Church, Both the Adamses Fillmore and Taft were Unitarians Johnson, Grant and McKlnley were Methodists. Jackson, rolK, Buchan Monkey Business an, Benjamin Harrison and Wood row Wilson were Presbyterians. The Episcopalians include Wash ington, Madison, Monroe, William Henry Harrison, Taylor, Pierce and Arthur. I dont' Imagine It makes any par ticular difference to what Church the President belongs. Two of them, Lincoln and Coolidge, had never been members of any Church before they became President But every Presidnt of the United States has been a deeply religious man, as every man must be if he Is to com mand the confidence of the people. Grandfathers .... a few Although one of the youngest Presidents, Mr. Roosevelt is one of the few who were grandfathers when they were elected. Mr. Hoo ver was also a grandfather, but from then back for nearly a hun dred years I cannot find "a record that any President was a grandfa ther at the time of his election. Washington had no children at all. Johnson, Adams and Jefferson were grandfathers, and so I believe was Monroe. William Henry Harrison, who lived but a month after his in auguration, had a grandson who later became President, but I be lieve there was no other President than those I have named who hail grandchildren at the time of his election. Mrs. Warren Harding was a grandmother, through her son by her first marriage. Not that any of that is import ant but I set it down as of possible Interest while we are talking about the new President Blue . . . inaugural gown Thirty years ago a President's daughter gave her name to a new shade of blue. "Alice blue" was so named because it was the favorite color of Alice Roosevelt now Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. Mrs, Franklin Roosevelt has giv en her name to another new shade of blue. It is called "Eleanor blue" and she will wear a costume of this color at her first White House re ception on March 4. It is described as a shade of hyacinth blue, be tween a gray-blue and a blue-gray if anybody knows what that means. If this starts the women of Amer ica to buying new dress materials it will be a good thing for the re vival of business. IN OREGON HOMES Brooks That the project on Low cost meals' has met a real need is shown by the report of ec onomies effected by 25 women of the Brooks home extension unit Twelve families were assisted in saving money on their grocer bills, 35 persons were eating more vege tables, 21 were using more milk, 6 homemakers were using a more ec- onomlral form of cereal, 13 were using more home produced and pre served foods, and 14 children had Improved their eating habits. In addition, good suggestions from the project had been passed on to 181 other individuals. Medi'ord Vegetable cookery meetings have proved extremely popular In Jackson county, accord ing to Mrs. Mabel Mack, county home demonstration agent. How to cook strong-flavored vegetables and green and white vegetables so as to preserve flavor, texture, color and nutrients were the alms of the demonstrations. Last year 28 meet ings were held with a total attend ance of 546 individuals. A typical remark of those attending is that of one woman who said, "I never before liked cabbage and rarely cooked it on account of the strong odor. Now cabbage is one of our main cooked vegetables. The rec ommendation for cabbage cooking is to place ft in a large amount of boiling water and cook it, uncov ered, for a short time (about 8 or 9 minutes after the water begins to boil again).

ON OREGON FARMS Enviable Disease Record Made Hood River This county is tak ing steps to maintain its enviable record in regard to dairy cattle dis ease, and is now conducting new tuberculosis testing of herds sup plying fresh milk, and others de siring such tests. Hood River coun ty now has an accredited rating as T. B. free and a record of having reduced infectious abortion from 12 per cent to about 3 per cent and with not more than 10 per cent of the herds having a single reactor or suspect. Dallas One and a quarter tons of barley, harboring 115 ounces of deadly strychnine alkaloid, has been prepared by County Agent Beck for use of Polk county farmers this spring in combatting the trouble some gray digger. Farmers here have found that earliness applies to more than birds and worms, as it is the early poisoner that gets the diggers. La Grande Light feeding of hogs before shipment and other precautions taken by the Blue Mountain Livestock association has resulted in reducing the shrink age in shipment from 1 per. cent in 1931 to .52 per cent in 1932, reports County Agent Avery, secretary of the group.

FUNCTIONS FOR FARM RELIEF $32,000,000 Loaned in Twelve Dis tricts During First 90 Days; Loans 'Fully Secured. By ROBERT FULLER I Washington, D. C, Feb. 7-Inj less than ninety days after the op ening of the First Regional Agri cultural Credit corporation office more than $32,000,000 has been dis bursed to farmers and stockmen in loans made by the Credit corpora tion, under the direction of the Re construction Finance corporation. The Reconstruction corporation was authorized to create In any of the twelve Federal land bank dis tricts a regional agricultural credit corporation with a paid-up capital of not less than $3,000,000, to be subscribed and paid for by the Re construction corporation. Such corporations, managed by officers and agents appointed by the Reconstruction corproration, have been authorized to make loans or advances to farmers and stockmen, the loan money to be used for an agricultural purpose (Including crop production) or for the raising, breeding, fattening or marketing of livestock. All loans made under the section are fully and adequatetly secured. No fees or commissions are paid by any applicant for a loan. The inter est rate, originally established at 7 per cent (with no Inspection fees to be paid by the borrower), was re duced early in January to 6 1-2 per cent Regional offices are now operating in all twelve districts with twenty one branches strategically placed to offer prompt and convenient ser vice to farmers and stockmen in every state in the union. Quick Loan Action That the corporate organizations were speedily set up and that they have already performed a note worthy service is seen in the volume of business handled. At the close of business January 13, 10,752 loans had been made totaling $32,244,477. In addition, 24,614 loans had been approved but the disbursements of $48,334,540, represented in this busi ness, had not been "put through the mill." 'More than 36,000 applica tions were on file in the thirty-three offices representing a potential loan volume of $67,677,720. Two districts account for more than half the total disbursements of the credit corporations. District 12, with offices at Spokane, Port land, Boise and Helena, has made 2,021 loans for a total of $9,956,105; and District 8, with offices at Sioux City, Omaha and Cheyenne, has made 2,843 loans for a total of $9, 898,963. Next is District 9, with offices at Wichita, Oklahoma City and Den ver, with 1,097 loans totaling $4,654, 706; District 10, with offices at Fort Worth, Houston and San Angelo, 428 loans, $2,832,969; District 11, with offices at Salt Lake City, Reno, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix, 463 loans, $2,402,548. Dis trict 7, with one office at Minne apolis has made 2,017 loans total ing $1,780,466. Applications pend ing are heaviest at Minneapolis 16,833 for a total of $19,041,018. Each office has a paid manager and staff. Each, however, is aided by either a board of directors or a committee of farmers, stockmen, bankers, and other qualified citi zens thoroughly familiar with con ditions immediately at hand. Defining the Loans All loans are broadly classified In two divisions livestock and agri cultural.

Agricultural loans Include those for agricultural purposes to indi vidual farmers, or a partnership or corporation, engaged in the busi ness of farming, secured by liens on growing crops or other property for the purpose of defraying the cost of seed and cultivation; loan for harvesting, secured by liens on crops; marketing loans secured by warehouse receipts covering agri cultural commodities; barnyard, dairy and poultry loans. The statute requires that all loans be "fully and adequately secured." It is not the intention of the Act that the agricultural corporation shall make loans on the security of real estate mortgages as primary collateral or that they make loans for refinancing existing real estate mortgages. Any individual farmer or stock man, or partnership or corporation engaged in the business of farming, or raising, breeding, fattening or marketing of livestock is eligible to apply for a loan. The application must be made to the regional agri cultural credit corporation (either the main office or a branch) in the Federal land-bank district in which the applicant is situated. All loans are made through these offices. RHEA CREEK GRANGE NEWS. By VELMA HUSTON There is strong talk of having our April Pomona meeting at Fos sil.
