TREASURY READY TO Fl.
NANCE MOVEMENT CROPS

Under the provisions of the Fed
eral Reserve Act and the Regula-
tions issued by the Federal Re-
serve Board, the Federal Reserve
Banks are authorized TO re-discount
for member banks eligible COM
mercial papers.
The War Finance Corporation at
the suggestion of Secretary Me-
Adoo announced on August 5th that
it was willing TO make advance
ments to banks under Section 7
OF the War Finance Corporation
Acts, TO assist them in financing the
crop movement. 81
The Federal Reserve Banks have
notified all the banks of their dis
tricts Of the announcement, and
are prepared to receive applications
for advances. Under the terms Of
the War Finance Corporation Act
the advances are limited to 75 per
cent of the amount of the loan
made by the bank, or to 100 per
cent in case the bank itself fur
nishes collateral security to the
amount of 33 per cent of the loan.
The advancements will be made
by the War Finance Corporation
thru the several Federal Reserve
Banks, upon the promssory notes
of the borrowing bank secured by
the farmers or merchants to whom
loans have been made.
y These loans will be limited to
four months and the rate of in
terest will be 5 per cent. Full in
formation can be secured by any
aIty bank from the Federal Re-
serve Bank of the District. The
orderly movement of the crops is
essential to the conduct of the War,
and the Treasury Department hopes
that the facilities of the Federal
Reserve System available to men,
ber banks, supplemented by the of
fer of the War Finance Corporation,
to both member and non-member
banks, will be adequate to provide
for financing the crop movement.

DISASTROUS HAIL STORM
VISITS NORTH UNION COUNTY.

On last Monday night disastrous
hail storm visited the country be-
tween Folsom and Moses cutting a
path about five miles wide, COM
pletely destroying the crops anG
doing considerable damage TO
houses. Hundreds of citizens who
had retired on the eveing before
contented with the prospects of a
bumper harvest, awoke in the
morning to find their broomeorn,
Deans and other crops ronpletely
destroyed by the hail that fell dur
ing the night. IL is estimated by
some that more than 100000 worth
of crops were destroyed.
Our sympathy goes out to these
energetic, Woodworking farmers
that have toiled all the year with
an earnest effort to produce food
and other supplies that are so bad
ly needed just at this present time,
but who are today in the same fix,
so far as their crop is concerened,
as they were at planting time in the
spring.

SENSATION SPRUNG
IN COURT ROOM

During the short fall term OF
Court which convened on Monday
the second and adjourned on FRI
day the sixth, inst, the members
of the bar and spectators present
were brought to attention, when
Attorney o. p. Easterwood produe-
ed evidence and law upon which
he argued to the Court that appro-
pirate action or steps should be
taken looking to the disbarment of
Attorneys Joe Gill and d. A. Pad
dock.
The. action taken by Attorney
Easterwood was based upon mat
ters with he said were brought to
light in case then before the
Court. 1t was charged that the
evidence adduced in the civil case
revealed that Attorneys Gill and
Paddock are stockholders in the
Union Title & Loan Company, a
corporation authorized to do alb
stlacting of land titles, with Offices
at Clayton; that there are certain
laymen associated with these at
torneys as stockholders in said cor
poration; that Attorneys Gill and
Paddock turn into the treasurer of
the corporation all fees collected by
them, for division among the var
Gus stockholders; and that when
a man engages either Mr.. Gill or
Mr.. Paddock to serve him as an at
torney the said corporation charges
the employer up with the fee "a
greed upon as indebted to the cer-
poration
In the case under consideration
at the time referred to, it was al
legged that the Union Title & Loan
Company was suing Attorneys
Easterwood's client for a fee for
services rendered by Mr.. Gill. At
torney Easterwood argued that the
matters brought out upon the wit
ness stand conclusively proved that
Attorneys Gill and Paddock were
lending their names to the orpora-
tion for the practice Of the law;
that lay members of the corpora
ton were participating in the pro-
ceeds of the law practice of At
tOrneys Gill and Paddock, and,
therefore, interested in increasing
the practice of these gentlemen
through the agency of the corpora
ton; and that such arrangement
and practice was not only unlawful
and against public policy, but that
it was highly unprofessional and
unethical, and tended to CONNER
cialize and lower the dignity of
the law profession.
Attorney Easterwood bitterly
condemned the practice complained
of. and said that he had talked with
"a number of the leading members
of the bar of the state and that
without exception they had felt as
he did about corporation prac-
tieing law either directly or indi-
rectly.
II is reported that the charges and
the evidence taken in support Of
same will be certified to the Board
of Bar Examiners of the State for
their attention.
