BALL SCORES BY
INNINGS STOPPED
Western Union Helping
City in Fight Against
Pools

1.-THE Mayor Has Forbidden
the Western Union to Furnish
Ball Scores; We VIII Get Re-
suits Daily at 6 P. M"
In sh}g pink letters this sign
blazed at the luncheon crowd at
slack's today. The sign was on the
scoreboard In the pool room.
Mayor Conaway has cracked
down hard on the local baseball
pools and is going after any per-
son who violates the new city ordi-
nance on this form of gambling,
hammer and tongs. But according
to W. T. McWhorter, local mana
ger for the Western Union the
Mayor never told the company not
to sell baseball scores to the pool
rooms. The Western Union is TAX
ing this action on their own hook
to help along in the move to break
up the practice.
The Mayor does not have any
power to stop the Western Union
from selling its services II he so
desired, as 1t is a public srvice cor
poration pure and simple with q
right to serve its clients.
When told that the pool rooms
were saying that the wesern Un-
ion would not sell them scores the
Mayor said:
"Is that all the excuse they have
for the end os baseball pools. !?
Those fellows know the law and IL
they violate it and I find it out,
they will suffer for it,
The new law as to baseball pools
does not touch Stacks as basball
pool was never conducted there:
but the action of the Western I'm
ion will force patrons to wait until
s o'clock to get results instead OF
by innings, -

State Finacniers Meet to
Study the Credit Law
mo Red Tape About It." War
Finance Official Tells Farm
Loan Conference

st. Paul, Nov. 8.-The billion dol
lar farm credit law authorizing the
United States governments wal
Finance corporation to loan money
for agricultural. purposes was passed
ito relieve country bankers Of the
necessity, of compelling farmers to
sell their products at prices which
will not even pay their debts, and to
permit farmers to buy young live
stock"
That was the explanation OF the
new federal credit law. made by
members Of the War Finance corp
oration's northwest agricultural com
mittee, to country bankers at con.
ference in. Minneapolis last week
called to study methods of obtaining
loans under the new law.
The speakers at the conference en-
phasized the fact that the federal
loan does not mean "easy money.
1t does not provide for additiona
credit to farmers except upon ade.
quate security; and speakers indicat-
ed that the War Finance corporation
will be more liberal with loans t.
permit the purchase Of livestock te
consume the cheap feed now on farms
in the northwest, than with loans fol
most other purposes.
The greatest benefit of the agricul
tural credit act to the farmers, it was
said, will come as result of the fl.
nancial relief to country banks, BY
enabling them to renew loans instead
of being compelled to insist on liqui
dation. Loans amounting to $780,.
900 have been approved for Mime
sofa and the Dakotas by the Wash.
ington office of the War Finance cor
poration.
M. o. Grangaard, secretary Of thu
northwest committee of the corpora
ton, said that applications were be
ing approved in Washington within
week after they left Minneapolis
"The whole process has been sim
plified as much as possible" he said
"There is no red tape about it."
