Will Help The Farmer.

1t is Of interest to note the an
nouncement of the treasury depart
ment that national banks, members of
the new regional reserve bank system
may legally make loans secured by
real estate, provided such real estate
is improved farm land unincumbered
by prior lien.
The property must be located in
the same federal reserve district as
the bank making the loan and the loan
must not exceed fifty per cent of the
actual value of the property nor run
for longer period than five years.
A further provision made is that the
total of such loans by any bank must
not exceed one-third of its time de-
posits nor one-fourth of the capital
and surplus of the bank.
The provision will be great boon
to Virginia farmers, many of whom
have been handicapped for years by
lack of working capital to develop
their property.-Richmond Virginian

Wagons Are Needed.

From reports reaching this of
flee road building in Thompson VAL
ley is being persued with all haste,
and if the weather stays good, and
the farmers give their support to
the work the good people, (as well
as others), of that community will
have good roads that they will be
proud of. Superintendent j. C. Nc
Nulty is said to be doing fine work
in the Valley, and will continue to
do it. The complaint is being made
by the superintendent that he is
unable to get sufficient number of
teams to do the hauling of stone,
ETC., due largely to the fact that
this is very busy season of with
the farmers. If the people in the
Valley want good roads and will
give Mr.. McNulty the proper kind
OF support, they will get them and
not be long about it, either.

BETTER LOOK OUT
Town Council on Trail of Those
Who Finger the Card Boards
Other Ordinances Adopted at
Meeting Saturday Night.

The town council, at it's regular
monthly meeting held in the city hall
last Saturday night, passed several
important ordinances for the govern
ment of the town, among them being
gambling ordinance, which forbids
gambling of any character within the
corporate limits of the town or within
II mile thereof. The provisions of the
/ ordinance follow:
Whereas, it appearing to this
council, that games of divers kinds.
especially in cases where the sum of
money or thing of value lost or won
within twenty-four hours. is less
than twenty dollars, is increasing
within the town and within one mile
thereof, at an alarming extent, and
TO the great damage of the people of
the town, which condition so pro-
duced has become n nuisance, as we'll
as menace to the morals of the peo-
pie OF the town, inducing idlencss.
drunkenness, immortality, dishonesty
and lawlessness,
therefore, be and it is hereby
unanimously resolved and ordained
that If any persons, within the cor
porate limits of the town of Taze-
well, or within one mile thereof. by
playing or betting at any game or
wager, lose or win any sum of money
or anything of value, he shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and shall
be punished by n fine of not less than
five dollars nor more than one hun
drcd dollars"
An ordinance was also adopted re-
quiring bicyclists and motor cyclists
to have lamps on their machines, or
pay fine, if using them after dark.
The Bluefeld Telephone Company
will be called upon to pay several
years back taxes on phones within
the corporate limits. 1t appears that
the tax collectors of the town for ten
years or more have failed to collect
90 cents per phone from the telephone
company, rs provided for in an ord-
nance passed many years ago. The
Sergeant was directed to collect all
back taxes, which will amount to
several hundred dollars.
Bids for making map of the town
were received from j. =. Williams, j.
r. Gilderseeve and b. S. Gillespie.
After consideration of the bids by
Councilmcn Jackson and Kiscr, ap-
pointed by the council to dispose of
the matter, it was decided to accept
the bid of Mr.. Williams, which was
much lower than the others submit
ted. Mr.. Williams will at once be-
gin the work of making map of
the town, which will include all the
streets and allcyways, etc.

Burned With Regret.

We regret to destroy them-a great
stack of them-so high, but it must
be done. We mean the large number
of kind, encouraging letters received
in this office from subscribers all over
the country within the past few weeks
These letters, every one of them,
breathed the spirit of true friend
ship for the editors and appreciation
of the paper, and not single "kick'
on account of the increased rate of
subscription. A number of new sub
scribers, too, have been received, all
saying, "you are right, go ahead, you
are entitled to the raise"
We thank every one of you for your
kind letters. These are appreciated
more than the money they contained.
We made one little mistake in the
above. One letter received last week,
and from a lady subscriber, at that.
She paid up, and asked that her paper
be stopped; that she could not afford
to pay $1.50 per year, these Demo
cratic days.. She lives in pros
porous section, and her inability to
pay $1.50 a year for her county pa
per, would argue that the trouble is
not due to Democratic policies. She
is companion to the lady who was ad-
vertised in the Tazewell Republican
last week, who sent twenty-five cents
for subscription, saying that it was
all she could afford, these Demo-
cratic times. We make this bona
fide proposition: If either of these
good women will show wherein Demo-
cratic policies have anything in the
world to do with their inability to
make money, both of them shall have
the paper of their choice free for one
year. Everybody should have rea-
son for their belief. Please let's have
it.

NEW HOME FOR
MASONIC LODGE
Enthusiastic Meeting Monday
Night Endorsed Movement
Looking to the Erection of a
New Building.

a movement was started by the
Masonic Lodge here Monday night
that will eventually, it is believed,
result in II modern, up-to-date Ma
sonic Temple, second to none i'm this
section. Plans are now being dis
cussed with n view of erecting, in
the near future, n more suitable and
better arranged lodge room for the
fraternity holding it's membership
here.
The meeting Monday night, held
in the Masonic Temple, was we'll
advertised. and memorable one in
many respects. The attendance was
larger than has been noted for some
time, and the unanimity of feeling
that existed in reference to the pro-
gress of the Lodge, was pleasing to
the officers and members who have
to do with it's welfare and prosper
ity. After discussion of proposed
plans of raising the necessary funds
for the purpose in hand, n commit
tee, composed of j. Ed Pecry, w. II.
Gillespie, III. G. Pobst, DR.. j. r.
Hicks and II. o. Crockett, was ap-
pointed to report plan to the
Lodge whereby the work can be COM
menccd. 1t had been planned at
previous meeting to increase the fees
and dues, and place the amount of
increase into II sinking fund, which
would be used M nuclcs for Sc
curing funds for building purposes,
but the idea of depending upon the
revenue from these sources did not
appeal to n number of the members,
who were outspokcn in their de-
sires that the building be erected mt
once, so that the present member
ship will enjoy it. DR.. j. II. Hicks
said: Eventually, why not now?" an
expression that gained favor in the
recent bond issue campaign in this
county. This idea seemed to appeal
to others, and offers to start n sub
scription paper, with large amounts
mt its head, were made. .,fO
The report of the committee, which
will be made at the next regular
meeting of the Lodge, will be looked
forward to with much interest.

Free Alfalfa Seed

We have still free samples of
alfalfa seed. Quite number of
free samples have been ordered and
good results will follow. Some will
fail, and say alfalfa can't be grown.
Others who take reasonable pains
in sowing and attention afterwards,
will succeed, and want more seed
next year.
Plenty Of time yet to sow this
season. Any time during May or
late in August, il season is favor
able. Prepare the ground for your
samples about as you would for
onion seed, and don't sow too thick.
One plant every inch in the row,
and the rows few inches apart
wide enough to admit of hoeing with
narrow hoe to kill weeds-is the
proper way to try your sample. If
other samples are wanted, write
this Office. ~
