Aid Through Banks to the
Planters.

At a meeting Of the members of
the. Committee named by the War

son Monday. Oct Srd, the Agricul-
tural Loan Agency for Mississippi

T. Thomas and Frank w. Foote as
members of the Executive Commit
tee. Senator Leroy Percy of Green
Vile and Oscar G.. JohDston of
CIarksdale, the other two members
of the committee were in attendance.
The organization of this Loan
Agency is another indication of the
desire of the War Finance Corpora
ton to extend its aid and it is very
gratifying to know that those who
are directing its affairs. are interest
ed in helping the agricultural and
live stock interests. They have al
ready rendered substantial aid and
encouragement in Mississippi and are
ready to do more along that line.
Under the plan of the War FL
nance Corporation, operating thru
the Agricultural Loan Agencies,
Banks that have lent money for ag-
ricultural purposes. including the
growing, harvesting and marketing
of agricultural products or the breed
ing, raising, fattening or marketing
of live stock may, in turn, borrow
money from the Corporation, pro-
vided their applications are acted
on favorably by the Loan Agency in
their own State. The Leon Agency
can deal only with banks direct, the
purpose of the plan being to aid
banks in carrying their agricultural
loans. No advances will be made
for longer period than one year;
and may be extended at the option
of the Finance Corporation.
At present the interest rate, of such
advances is-6 per cent perannum; !;

not subject to renewal and secured
by Liberty or other Government

5 II per cent is offered.
The Mississippi Loan Agency has
no authority to grant or reject ap-
plications for advances but will
make its recommendations to the
War Finance Corporation.
Mississippi banks that are now
carrying agricultural loans can Sc
cure funds from the War Finance
Corporation that will enable them
to make further agricultural loans
or loans of other kinds and thus pro-
mote the interests of their commun-
ity and of the state.

Secretary of the Committee and the
Offices of the Agency will be on the

full information will be given in re-
Hply.

Robbed Himself" But
Is Caught in Act

Indianola, Nissan old method
of defrauding creditors was brought
to life again by R. F. O'Neal of the
Iverness neighborhood, who reported
to the sheriff that he had been held
up and robbed by highwaymen after
bringing his cotton to Indianola and
selling it for about $4,000.
O'Neal told thrilling story about
how he was knocked unconscious by
thugs and robbed of his cash; that
after recovering consciousness the
thieves were still on the spot, and
ordered him to move on and not to
look back"
The sheriff frankly disbelieved
the story and started an investiga-
tion, the result of which was >the
arrest of O'Neal and his brother-in-
law. After a vigorous sweating they
confessed and the missing mon
ey was found in an clubhouse on the
o'Neal place.

Planning MilI at Redlick
Burns, Damage Is $4,000

Natchez. Miss, oct. 5.-The plan.
ing mill of the Woodruff Lumber Co
at Redlick, Miss, was destroyed BY
fire today. The damage sustained
is estimated at $4,000. In addi.
tion to the loss of the plant a con-
siderable quantity of dressed lumber
was consumed.
A call was made for the fire de-
partment at Natchez but due to the
distance arrangements could not be
made for the arrival of apparatus in
time to check the fire.
A letter received here from Mrs
Maud Hill of Tuscarora, N. c., sis
ter of Franklin Leach lTilley, who
ran amuck on Mississippi Central
passenger train here and shot three
men before killing himself, states
that Tilley was veteran Of the
world war and had been wounded
in action.
Mrs. Hill says that at the time
Tilley left her home in North Caro-
lima he complained of incessant
headaches but that there was moth.
ing to indicate that his mind was af.
fected.
The identity of Tilley was estab-
lished through an army identifica.
tion tag by the Natchez post of the
American Legion.

State Fair In SIGHT.

Exhibits for the Mississippi State
Fair, to be opened next Monday, are
pouring in from all sections of the
State, and already the management
is up against the serious problem Of
furnishing adequate space for all
displays offered.
The large agricultural building,
one of the largest structures in the
state, will be filled to overfiowing
and tents are being erected on the
adjacent grounds to provide for the
overflow.
The only uncertain factor in the
success of the State Fair this year
is the weather. If it is a good week
all former attendance records will
be broken. Reports from the various
county fairs held in Mississippi up to
this time show that unusual inter-
est has been manifested in these e.
vents, and the crowning event
of them all will be the great autumn
festival in Jackson.
The State Fair management has
spent many thousands OF dollars this
year securing special features and
free attractions, realizing the visit
ors desire to be amused and enter
tanned as well as instructed in the
growth and progress of the state,
and these features are the best that.
the country offers.
The stellar attraction for the night
crowds will be the famous Arabian
Nights pyrotechnic pageant, each
production of which costs more than
$4,000, and this will be an induce
ment for thousands of visitors to re-
main over at least one night in
Jackson.
The various railway lines are CIV
ing hearty cooperation this year,
reduced rates being granted from all
points in the state. This is the
first time since the World War that
the State Fair has been given the
advantage of low passenger rates.

The community of Union Church
some thirty-odd miles southwest of
Hazlehurst. is planning to embark in
the dairy business. The Brookha-
ven Creamery is establishing a sta
ton there to care for the products
or the community. Notwithstanding
the present depression in price Of
cream, The Courier shill has faith
that. the dairy business in time is
going to be one of the big indus
tries Of this section. In the first
place, the consumption is bound to
grow with the years and hence the
level of prices go upward; in the
second place. it brings in money reg
ularly, enabling the farmer to -oper-
ate on cash basis. In the third
place, it builds UP the land. and the
increase in herds adds an additional
source of revenue aside from the
cream sold. The dairyman should
also be a large hog raiser.-H Halle
hurst Courier.

Lodge Holds It's
Annual Roll Call

Dallas, Ore, Feb. 24.-Marmion
Lodge No. SO. Knights of Pythias.
held their annual roll call Monday
evening in their castle hall. A very
enjoyable program was rendered;
among the numbers being a solo
by Sheriff John w. Orr and a true
Pythian speech by Leslie Crouch.
eX-grand chancellor of the state.
Among other points that he made
IN his speech were the following:
Real true friendship has no de-
cay. There should be no gossiping
OF one friend concerning another
and, IL a person has something to
say about a second person. he
should do so personally and not at
his back. Unkind words beget
only trouble" In regard to the
rapid growth of the order of
knights of Pythias, he stated that
1t was a notable thing that the
growth was including representa-
tive citizens of all walks of life. He
stated further that all members
should put forth their effort for
the sake of the order that they
might, in turn, get something from
1t because where there is nothing
invested. there is no return. The
present home of the lodge is rather
cramped considering the member
ship. He bore rather forcibly upon
the slogan Owning Your own
Home and by so doing, advised
the members to buy or build their
own quarters.
There are 2l5 members of Mar
mion Lodge No. 90. OF these, us
answered personally, ~ others sent
opmunications. the remaining
few intended to be present but
were detained at the last moment.
A grand and glorious feed, con-
sisting of sandwiches, coffee and
pie a la mode was served. All went
home at 1880 p. m. full (of pie)
and happy.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Senate
and house conferees agreed today
on the senate bill limiting immi-
grafton of aliens during the next
year 10 .hree per cent of the num-
ber in the United States at the
time of the 1910 census.
At the insistence of senator's and
representative from the Pacific
coast the conferences agreed to
strike out the section of the sem
ate bill specifying that the act
should mot be construed as amen
ding, re9ealing or modifying my
law or agreement now existing
which forbids the admission of any
aliens of any nationality or by
geographical boundaries.
This section was designed to
prevent any conflict with state de-
partment officials in controlling
immigration from Japan and
China by treaty or agreement. AS
approved by conference, the sec
ton was made to read the pro-
visions of this act are in addition
to and not in substitution for the
provisions of the immigration
laws" thus existing laws are not
affected and references to the
agreements with Japan and China
is omitted.
