While all schools have opened this fall many are doing so entirely on faith and on heavy sacrifice on the part of teachers who have not only taken a cut but a chance on getting their pay until warrants become cash. The situation may right itself to some extent if the farm income turns out to be as good as some believe it will be. If j the farmer makes money on his crop this year, taxes will probably be one of the first matters attended to. W. F. AND ALMA McLING, Publisher* Subscription.

Her late report on the progress of Industrial recovery Is most cheering. Here Is a summary: The number of people who found employment In factories In August was 380,000; In the non-manufacturing groups, 370.000. The factory employment gain over July was 6.4 per cent and the payroll increase 11.6 per cent. Mrs. Perkins reported a gain of 2,- 200,000 in employment In both manu facturing and non-manufacturing In dustries since March, the low point. This, she points out, was a gain of 29.9 per cent. On the other side of the picture, Mrs. Perkins pointed out th at the unem ployment is yet 28.4 per cent below the normal In 1926 and that payrolls are forty-eight per cent below that year. The August employment index, how ever, reached the highest point in more than two years and the payroll figures were the highest since December, 1931. Of eighty-nine industries surveyed, elghty-one reported increased employ ment last month and eighty-three had higher payrolls as compared with those of July. In current street comment there is considerable discussion as to what, if any, progress is actually being made in the effort to revive industry but fig ures, covering the nation, are the best of evidence.—Ex. Designed to assist home owners in danger of fore closure by mortgagors, the home owners’ loan corpora tion act was passed by congress last June and in this dis trict is functioning under C. J. Shorb, La Grande, district manager. A loan on a home may be obtained amounting to 80 per cent of its value for a period of 15 years at 5 per cent interest, provided the holder of the mortgage will accept government bonds. If not, the government will advance cash to pay off indebtedness that is not more than 40 per cent of the value of the property. Inf either case it will ad vance cash to pay off delinquent taxes. If there is no mort gage, a small cash loan may be obtained to pay delin quent taxes or make necessary repairs. A cash loan draws 6 per cent interest. There is no intention of the corporation entering into the loan business in competition with existing loaning agencies. Its mission is merely that of salvaging homes of those people who are temporarily unable to meet their ob- igations. The act should prove of much help to burdened home owners.
