Temporary Injunction Blow
to Farmers.
“A stiff blow was administered to
Spokane Valley tomato and canta­
loupe growers Last Saturday by a
court action which broke down tem­
porarily In Spokane County, at the
peak of the harvest, the marketing
agreement on two of the staple pro­
ducts of the district.
News of the court action and the
two-day hearing created a virtual
buyers’ strike resulting in a glutted
market. Then the temporary injunc-
tlon rendering the code impossible
of enforcement in this county caused
a break in prices which cost the
growers thousands of dollars.

the Lesson-Sermon In al!
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday. September 16.
The Golden Text was, "My God
■hall supply all your need accord-
ing to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19).
Among the citations which com­
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: "And a
certain man was there, which had
an infirmity thirty and eight
years. Jesus saith unto him. Rise,
take up thy bed, and walk. And
Immediately the man was made
whole, and tool; up his bed, und
walked’’ (John 5 :5, 8. 9).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
eluded the following correlative
passages from the Christian Sci­
ence textbook, “Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip­
tures.” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“All that we term sin, sickness,
and death Is a mortal belief. We
define matter as error, because it
is the opposite of life, substance.
■ nd intelligence . .
Which
ought to be substance to us,—the
erring, changing, and dying, the
mutable and mortal, or the uner­
ring, immutable, and immortal?”
(P. 278).
RANKING RETURNS
TOWARD NORMAL
Reconstruction Finance Corpor­
ation Loan Repayments Show
Banks Lead Procession in
Recovery Movement
Indicating a rapid return on the part
of the banks to a normal self-sustaining
basis, 54 per cent of the loans which
they made from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to tide them over
the difficulties of the past two years
have been repaid by them, it is shown
in a recent official report
The R. F. C. report, issued on March
6, says that the Corporation since it
began operations in February, 1932,
bad made aggregate cash advances to
railroads, agricultural and home loan
agencies, Insurance companies and va­
rious other institutions in the amount
of 34,786,410,000. Of this sum banks
and trust companies, to the number of
6,783, received actual cash advances of
31,520,540,000, but have already paid
back 3820,260,000, or 64 per cent. These
figures are exclusive of 3376,390,000 in
loans authorized but withdrawn or not
availed of by the banks.
Non-banking borrowers received R.
F. C. advances in the amount of $3,265,-
870,000, and made repayments of $377,-
830,000, or less than 12 per cent. Among
other classes of financial institutions
reported as making high ratios of re­
payments are building and loan asso­
ciations which had received $114,020,-
000 and have repaid 353.880,000, or over
47 per cent, and insurance companies,
whose borrowings totalled 388,590,000
and repayments 334,340,000, or nearly
39 per cent. None of the major non-
governmental financial groups showed
so high a ratio of repayments as the
banks and trust companies as a group.
BANK LOANS AND
BUSINESS RECOVERY
Official Describes Efforts of Re­
serve Banks to Bring Out
Deserving Borrowers—
Present Situation
Typical
Apropos of the part that an expan­
sion of business loans by banks occu­
pies in the early stages of the business
recovery which Is now gaining head­
way, a Federal Reserve Bank official
recently gave an interesting review of
the experiences of his institution in
this connection. In 1932 the Federal
Reserve Banks were empowered by
law to make direct loans to individuals
in unusual circumstances when they
had been unable to obtain loans from
a commercial bank, be pointed out.
From the middle of 1932 to the end
of 1933 there were 1.286 applicants for
loans at the New York Federal Reserve
Bank under this law. The great major­
ity of these applications proved on ex­
amination to be for funds for capital
purposes, which are properly supplied
as an investment in the business, or
else were mortgage loans or others un-
classifiable as commercial.

PLOT OF “ROTHSCHILD”
RICH IN ROMANCE.
Four types of love are depicted in
"The House of Rothschild,” which
will show at the Oasis theatre Sat-
urday.
There is, first of all, the devotion
of the Rothschilds to each other—
the loyalty and unity which was the
secret of the family's sensational
rise to wealth and fame.
Then there is the love of Nathan
Rothschild, and his wife Hannah,
portrayed by George Arliss and his
wife, Florence Arliss.
For those who demand a taste of
sweet, young romance, there is the
love between Julie, Nathan’s beau­
tiful daughter, played by Loretta
Young, and Fitzroy, Wellington’s
dashing aide, portrayed by Robert
Young.
Another powerful form of devo­
tion is exemplified in the patriotism
of Nathan, whose love of England
leads to the placing of the entire
Rothschild fortune in the war
against Napoleon.
The film, which introduces the
leading historical figures of the per-
lod, was directed by Alfred Werker,
assisted by Maude T. Howell, from
a script prepared by Nunnally John-
son.
Also included in the cast of this
United Artists release which has
been hailed as the finest film to be
made in Hollywood this season, are
Boris Karloff, Helen Westley, C.
/ ubrey Smith, Reginald Owen, Alan
Mowbray, Georges Revavent, Mur-
y Kinnell, Holmes Herbert, Flo-
rence Arliss. Arthur Byron, Paul
Harvey, Ivan Simpson, Noel Madi-
son and others. There are more than
seventy speaking parts in this spec-
tacular production, and the final
•cene, in the great coronation room
of St. James Palace, in which Nath­
an Rothschild Is publicly honored,
was the first set of its size to be
photographed in the newly developed
three-color Technicolor process.
Water Rebuilds Poor Field.
OREGON CITY— Carl Samuelson
of Colton has on his farm a five-
acre field, a remnant of an old hop
yard. Mr. Samuelson has been un­
ible even to grow oats and vetch on
this field, and red clover does not
grow with renerai success in Colton.
Last year, however, he planted this
field to clover and gave it water.
This year he watered twice again
and has cut 27 tons of clover hay
from the field. A third crop is now
coming along nicely.
Only Fourteen Qualify
Only 250, or less than 20 per cent,
were of the type which merited de­
tailed investigation. The amount in­
volved was 39.525,000. After further
study of these, the Federal Reserve
Bank was forced to turn down the ap
plications of 236, finally offering credit
in the sum of $1,417,000 to 14 prospec­
tive borrowers. Of this amount, only
3806.000 was actually loaned, more than
one-half of which was still outstanding
many months later. Two of the borrow­
ers went into receivership.

OLLYWOOD has ¿one "VS."
In America's colo ful moving
picture capital the Ford V-8 is
easily the most popular car.
Here is one more indication of
Ford leadership in style as well ax
performance. For it takes both to
“get by” in Hollywood these days!
Look over a new Ford V-8. Exam-
Ine its fittings—they’re rustless
metal. Notice the rich upholstery.
See the many extra conveniences—
from a special compartment for
your purse to sun-visors to protect
your eyes.
Then drive this car yourself. Once
you experience “V-8 performance”
combined with Ford ease of han­
dling, you'll realize why every
woman loves to go places in the
Ford V-8.
Remember, too—you save on the
low Ford V-8 price. Ford parts cost
little. And the new Ford V-8 is
more economical to operate than
any Ford car ever built.
