FARM CREDITS BILL
INCREASES LOAN LIMIT

The question "Why is it that
farmers in this valley are not
able to get loan from the FEEDER.
al Land Bank?" is often asked
and so far as the Spokesman
knows it has never been satisfact-
orily answered. Some day, may.
be some man or number of men
with enough interest in the mat
ter will journey to Spokane and
dig out the truth. But until that
is done the information in the let
ter printed below could hardly be
classed as "news" for readers in
this valley. A local Federal Farm
Loan association was formed in
White Bluffs several years ago
under the direction of the FEEDER
al Land Bank and few loans
were made at the time but of late
years the officers of the local asso.
citation have been unable to get
any action from the Federal Land
Bank. f. A. English is secretary
treasurer Of the local organiza-
ton. Mr.. English received the
following letter from the Land
Bank in Spokane under date of
March 5th:-
To all Secretary-Trcasurers:
Dear Sir:
We are today in receipt of a
telegram from the Farm Loan
Board of Washington, d. C. noti-
flying us that the Farm Credits
Bill passed yesterday increases
our loan limit from $4,000 to
$25, 900, and that the same takes
effect today, March 5th.
We have not been advised as to
other changes in th,e Farm Loan
Act but as soon as they are re-
ceived you will be notified.
Please give this information to
your local papers as well as all
the publicity possible.
This will affect borrowers who
have $4,000 loans and wish the
same increased, as well as the
new applications.
All applications for loans in
sums under $4,000 must be accom-.
panied by a filing fee of $500
each; for loans Of 5000 and less
than 100000, $1,000 each; for
loans of $4,000 and less
than $4,000, $500 each; for
loans of $4,000 and less than 500,
900 $4,000 eachi and for loans of
$4,000 and UP to $25, 900, ,$25. .00]
each. Other charges will remain
the same as in our letter Of juno
1st, 1922. =
Very truly yours.

PRUNE SHADE TREES RIGHT

This is the time Of the year peo-
pie are interested in civic improve
ment. in parkings, parks, and their
own property. 1t is also the time
|of year when a few people will
practically ruin very desirable
shade trees by methods of pruning
which result in leaving stubs for
decay and cutting in such a manner
that the wood growth which comes
is not natural and the appearance
of the trees is not nearly SO at
tractive as it should be.
Where desirable trees have been
planted and are now large enough
that judicious thinning out pro-
cess can be carried on, it is 9 good
practice to start it before the trees
are of such size that they have
grown unshapely because of the
small amount of ground in which
they grow. In ether places where
soft w,,d trees have been planted
becat So the quick growth and be-
cause of the desire to get shade
quickly, it is good time to start
planting so that we can have per-
manent trees coming on to replace
lem " hen these first trees become
brittl. and begin to Lreak and be-
come unsightly.
If at sny time we are able to
assist in the selection of desirable
trees or to ass s. in proper prur-
ing Of shade trees now pla d,
we would be glad to aid in this.

BAND WINS FAME

The fame of the White Bluffs
Band is spreading. The boys re-
ceived an offer this week to play at
Roundup celebration that is to
be staged at Ephrata on July End,
3rd, and 4th. 1t is probable that
they will turn down the offer, as it
is expected that White Bluffs will
celebrate the Fourth this year and
they want to play for the home
folks. 1t was gratifying to the
boys, however. to receive the Eph-
rata offer for ii indicates that their
services will be in demand from
now on to play at outside points.
A committee was appointed at the
Thursday night meeting to make
arrangements for a band concert
and entertainment to be given in
the near future.

ALI Pitchers Hard
To Hit Last Year.
Says Babe Ruth
BY NEh Service.

BY NEh Service.
BOSTON, Mass, Jan. l7.-Babe Ruth
still retains sense%of humor de
spite the poor season he had last
summer.
Recently, when asked what pitch
ers in the American League wer.
hardest to hit, he replied in all SER
iousness:
''All of them
Pressed for his opinion as to the
hardest pitcher to hit, Babe didn't
take long to answer.
"That guy, ,Prhett of st. Louis,
has my number. I never even made
a respectable foul off him. First
base and were total Strangers when
he pitched for the Browns.
Say / got a sore back, swinging
and missing, when he was doing the
pitching. If all the pitchers were
like him for me, | could stay right
on the farm as far as getting base
hits.
THAT bird is deadly poison for me.
He has three kinds of slow balls
and five or six kinds of dinky curves.
He gets fellows nerve.
81 made great pitcher out of that
kid last season." concluded the in.

BULLSEYES OF
BASEBALL

The shortest home run I ever saw
IN major>league ball game, strtnk
plate.
After so striking in fair terri
tory, it took a reverse English came
into contact with one of the players
in the field, and finally settled on
foul territory close to the grand
stand. Incidentally, it was the first
| home run l ever saw made by hit
ting the ball in the wrong direct on.
Perhaps it would be more correct
to say play in which the batsman
managed to make the circuit rather
than hiH home run.
The contest was staged at Wash
ington about Is years ago. we'll
recall the fact that Howard Wake
field was doing the catching for
Washington. He has been secured
in trade with Cleveland.
Likewise l well remember that
Tim Hurst and myself were doing
the umpiring. Tim was working the
plate; l was stationed on the bases.
Two runners were on the bases at
the time, when the batsman hit
fly ball that for altitude records
compared favorably with those now
hit by Babe Ruth.
A high wind was blowing, making
the judging of fly balls very diff
cult matter. When the ball was first
hit it seemed that it would drop
some place back of the pitcher box
"a fly ball that would be handled
either by the shortstop or second
baseman.
The wind got hold of the ball and
blew it back in the direction Of the
plate, Catcher Wakefield finally de-
Gliding that he would make the play.
He circled under the ball but missed
it entirely. 1t struck, perhaps, 10
feet in front of the plate and about
three feet in front of Wakefield.
AS it hit the ground it took re-
verse English and bounded back at
Wakefield, who tried to get the ball.
He claimed he didn't touch it., but !
Hurst insisted he did. This, of
course, made it fair ball.
Inc pail, AFTER eVading Wakeheld, |
rolled to the stand. Wakefield at
first argued the matter. at length
with Hurst, and then finally decided
to get the ball. Two were out at
the time and the batter and base
runners kept going. l recall that
when the ball struck the ground the
batter was we'll on his way to sec
ond, so high had it been hit
BY. the time it became apparent to
the Washington club that Hurst md
ruled it fair ball, everybody had
scored. Y
Then the argument broke out
again with Hurst playing the leading
role. 1t certainly was the shortest
circuit swat | ever SAVIOR length,
not altitude.

Selection of Bush Over Peck May
Mean Passila9g Of SlIortStOp

BY NEA Service.
= Washington, Jan. 16.-Report has
it that Roger Peckinpaugh is certain
to figure in trade before the opep-
ing of the 1923 campaign. The deal
recently made, in which the Nation
ais secured Shortstop Gagnon from
Detroit, strengthens the belief.
When Peckinpaugh was secured
from New York, it was the general
impression that he would not only
Mcbride as manager Of the Nation
ais. The fact that Peckinpaugh had
at times handled the Yankees with
success, made it seem all the more
certain that Peck was. due for. .
managerial berth. *,
The appointment Of Milan last
year was big surprise. He was not
figured in the dope. Rumor has IL
that Park was much put out over
the failure to land the job and that
it affected his early season play.
The selection Of Bush, merely re-.
garded as a substitute last year. to
succeed Milan as leader of the Ma
tionals, comes as even . greater sur
prise than Grifith's 1922 selection. Of
Milan.
It is certain that the passing up
Of Peck for the second time will not
tend to make his enthuse over his
prospects with the Nationals.
All Of which makes it seem that
Peck is due to Be traded II Grifhtfi
can get suitable players in return.

Tiger Quarterback
Pulls New One
Against Yale

The quarterback is up against
many tough proposition during the
progress Of an important game. His
Judgment in the selection of plays
can make or unmake a coach.
Suppose you were the quarterback
in, an important game, and your
team was leading 8 to 0, time was
almost up. the ball was in your pos
session on your 1O-yard line, it was
fourth down and you had nine yards
to gain, what would you do?
There you ,hayeathe situation that
faced Quarterback German of Prince
ton in the. game with Yale.
German knew that time was nearly
up when PRINCETON got the ball on
it's 10. yard line. Three plays gained
only yard. No doubt your, first i'm
preston would be to punt the ball,
of coursel ~
Princeton created the impression
that it intended to punt? the kicker
dropped back, and the punt furma-
ton was, pulled. Then instead of
punting, the ball was passed to Cor
man who dashed into the line. He
failed to make, first down and the
ball was Yale's,. but before the play
ers had gotten TO- their feet. time was
up and Princeton Mad won the game.
Here is the way German reasoned
it. A punt gave Yale the opportu-
nifty Of running the ball back for
touchdown. or. placed them in a po-
sition to try a. field goal, SO he de-
layed starting his play, and then
crashed into the line instead of punt
ing, as, everyone expected. What do
YOU think -
