HOOVER ASKS BANKS 70
BOOST CATTLE RAISING

Food Administrator Hoover has en-
listed the aid of the federal reserve
board in a campaign to increase the
meat supply of the country. Mr..
Hoover has asked the board to help the
farmers by suggesting that banks lend
the money at not more than 7eo in
terest- as compared with the legal
rate Of per cent. or more and the
board has transmitted the request,
through the federal reserve banks, to
the bankers of the districts concerned.
The board has received a Letter from
Mr.. Hoover stating that he is just be-
ginning a campaign to secure a larger
amount Of cattlefeeding in this coun-
try and that his investigation shows
the interest charge represents beween
35 and 40 per cent. of the total costs
of this industry.
The legal rate Of interest in many
of the cattle raising states Is 5 per
cent. or more and the food adminins-
traitor suggests that if banks would
make loans to the cattle people at a
rate of interest not exceeding z per
cent, which he thinks they could afford
to do in view of the 5 per cent. re-dis-
count rate on six months" paper avail
able at most of the federal reserve
banks, stimulus would be given to
the cattle raising industry which all
will agree is greatly needed at this
time.

TOWN FACES GAS sHORTAGE

Fear that the Berea Pipe Line Co.,
may be involved in a law suit with the
Cleveland, Southwestern & Columbus
Railway Co. lis gives as one Of the
chief reasons for it's having failed to
join with the Pittsfield Gas company
in making a contract for gas with
Oberlin this winter, by virtue of
which the college town faces the pos
sibility of serious shortage Of light
and fuel. Another complication is
that the Green Line claims it has a
contract with the gas company, where
as the company insists that the Green
Lines contract has expired. It is ex-
expected, the question will be settled
by the first of the week.
