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).

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. The livestock division in
cludes loans to livestock growers,
feeders or breeders, secured by a
first lien on the stock in cases where

the loan is expected to be repaid
through funds obtained from either
the sale of the stock and, or, the in
crease in the case of a range or
breeder loan; or the sale of fat cat
tle and sheep in the case of a feed
er or pasture loan.
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.

The H. E. club dance given last
Saturday night proved to be unus

Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Robison and
Mr. and Mrs. Clive Huston and
