were given two new offensive plays
which they may use against the Bears

Coast Baseball
Had Prosperous
Year Is Report
LOS ANOELES. Oct. 31. (AP)
Baseball of the Pacific Coast
league waa one thing that, wasn't
bit by the depression In 1031.
This year the league played to
1 ,637.695 paid admissions as
against 1,673,133 during 1930. The
decrease of 35,528, however, was
blamed on the fact the league
played 36 weeks In 1030 as com
pared with 26 weeks this year.
League officials said If the sea
son had been the same length
as the previous year, a heavier
record probably would have been
established for 1931 than for
1030.

Limited Ability of Banks to
Rediscount Farm Mort
gage Paper Is Proving
Handicap to Prosperity
By Frank I. Weller
(Associated Press Farm Editor)
WASHINGTON (AP) President
Hoover's suggestions to congressional
leaders for support of the nation's
financial structure touch sympathet
ically on two pet Issues of organised
agriculture.
Ever since the deflation in farm
values began In 1930-31 the farmer
baa complained that the limited
ability of banks, Insurance compan
ies and other financial Institutions
to rediscount farm mortgage paper
through the federal reserve system
haa made It extremely difficult to
get adequate loans.
If Hoover's proposal that "eligibil
ity provisions of the federal reserve
act be broadened" contemplates the
addition of farm mortgages to the
classification of property eligible for
rediscount, agriculture may hope for
a more liberal policy by national and
state bank authorities In the matter
of property loans.
Difficult to Get Loans
It Is currently charged In farm
circles that from the time the fed
eral reserve board Increased the re
discount rate on farm paper without
changing the rate on other securities.
the common reply of bank officials
to farm applicants has been:
."We have received Instructions not
to lend anyone money, no matter
how much farm land he may own or
I whether It la clear of debt, unless he
can show liquid assets (usually com
mercial securities) which readily
can be converted Into cash," or "the
directors don't like chattel mortgages
and the banking department won't
let the bank take them."
Should the president's plan be In
terpreted to liberalize acceptance of
farm land and buildings as mortgage
security. It Is believed there may be
fewer foreclosures and less land
forced on. an unwilling market. It
also Is thought that banks, will not
have to cut property appraisals so
low to gain approval of the examin
ers that the size of farm loans are
almost nil and that Interest rates to
the farmer may decline.
Easier Credit Seen
In President Hoover's second rem
edyfederal Investment In federal
land bank stock agriculture sees the
twofold possibility of easier credit m
the future and perhaps the oppor
tunity to borrow from the govern
ment in liquidating Indebtedness to
private institutions.
when the federal farm loan act
was passed In 1918 with the Idea of
giving the farmer long time credit at
Interest not to exceed 8 per cent,
congress supplied the 13 federal land
banks with a capital of about 9,-
000.000.
Through some 4800 farm loan aaso-
clatlons farmers have retired about
99 3-a per cent of that stock and
Invested approximately 80,000,000
themselves.
Limited to a 1 per cent profit on
the money of Investors when loaned
through affiliated organizations to
the farmer, the banks have suffered
severely In the general depression.

jllft'Wllf The whole question was settled
long ago as to how many cylin

satisfactory smoothness. Science definitely
established the fact that at least six are)
necessary. And today, the public accepts the
multi-cylinder engine in the same way that
it accepts 4-wheel brakes, parallel-mounted

and acknowledged superiority. Everybody
knows that notliing less than a six can giv
you built-in smoothness.
Today, six-cylinder smoothness is within
