SMUT PREVENTION WEEK

The week of March 7th is Grain
Smut Prevention Week. This is a
good time for farmers to treat their
seed wheat and hulless oats with COP
per carbonate for smut. 1t is a dry
dust available at most drug stores
and easily applied. This method is
only adapted for wheat and hulless
oats. Treatment for oats and barley
Is the Formaldehyde method. The
spray method may be applied now but
the sprinkling or soaking method
must be applied Immediately before
seeding. The cleaning of seed grain
and smut prevention is good work for
these early spring days. This is a
good time to prevent losses from
disease and loss of time IN the spning
seeding rush. Further particulars
may be secured from the County
Agent.

MAYOR 0F S|TKA AND COUNC|LMEN
 ARE IN CUSTODY
 
HANLON AND THREE MEMBERS ARE ARRESTED WARRANT
 OUT FOR FIFTH MAN

w. R. Hanlon, mayor of Sitka, and three members of his council were arrested last Saturday in Sitka charged with malfeasance in office, and a warrant is out for the arrest |of a fourth councilman. Advices to this effect were received by U. s. Marshal Albert White. reports the Juneau Empire. At the time the cablegram was sent from Sitka none of the men arrested had secured bond and were confined in the Fed eral jail Following a hearing in the U. s. Commissioners court, they were bound over to the next Feder- al grand jury which will probably sit here in April.
 Names of Arrested
 The men in custody are: W.R. Hanlon, Mayor, and Councilmen, A. Murray, w. Larianof and John Holly wood. A warrant was issued for K Raatikainen, another member of the Council. A deputy marshal was due to have left Sitka last week to serve | it on him on a neighboring island.
 The charge of malfeasance in of- flee is based on an alleged illegal misappropriation of city funds. It is charged that on December II, last, the mayor and members of the coun- cil named held a special session at which a motion was introduced and passed to pay Mayor Harlon $570 as a commission on $11,40O worth of school bonds issued by the City of Sitka and which the mayor claimed to have been instrumental inselling It is claimed the mayor could not legally receive such compensation and that the council acted illegally in giving it to him.
 The action was started by a num- Der of taxpayers. The complaint on which the warrants were issued was also signed by taxpayers. Deputy marshal W. H. Caswell investigated the complaint prior to it's filing Minutes of the special meeting of December II are said to substantiate the allegation that the funds were voted to Mayor Hanlon.

WAGES IN BUILDING

HOMES ESSENTIAL,
! HOOVER DECLARES
Families Need Good Dwell
ings, He Says, Indorsing
1923 Housing Campaign.

The first essential for wholesome
home life is a good house in which the
family may live in privacy and COM
fort and in which it may justly take
pride, Secretary of Commerce Hoover
declared today in a statement indors-
Ing the coming 1928 better homes cam
paign sponsored by Better Homes in
America, Inc, an educational organ
ization of which he is president.
President Coolidge is honorary chair
man of the advisory council of the
organization, which has its head
quarters in Washington.
''The better homes in America move
ment is founded in the belief that our
national strength and welfare are sus-
tained by high ideals and sturdy char
acter," Mr.. Hoover said. Prom such
ideals and character must proceed the
common understanding and attitude of
mind which underlie growth in eco
nomic productiveness and the sound
maturing of our social and political
institutions.
''To conserve and develop our best
traditions and vigorous ideals is our
privilege and duty. The home, the
school and the church are charged
with this most significant human task,
the building of character. OF these
three institutions, the home eXerts the
first and most continuous influence
toward right thinking and right liv-
ing. Better Homes in America is
committed to conserve and foster the
homes higher values.
THE first essential for wholesome
home life is good house, in which
the family may live in privacy and
comfort, and justly take pride. The
detached single-family dwelling makes
home ownership possible, promises
thrift and foresight. and by giving the
family a stake in the community, in
sures responsible citizenship. Durable
construction, simple and dignified ar
chitecture, careful upkeep, appropri
ate furnishing and good landscaping
and gardening enhance community
values and build up family self-respect
and self confidence.
by taking part in the Better
Homes in America movement we can
help to elevate our national life Of
today. I have no hesitation in COM
mending to the American people even
more help and more cordial support
In the 1928 campaign than they have
given so freely in the past"
Evening star., 1927-10-29

In many communities there has
pie finance their homes by getting to-
gether not only building contractors
and material men, who are directly
interested in developing this business,
but also local merchants and manu-.
facturers who employ perhaps the
very people who want to build homes.
These have a specific interest in
home building and community de-
velopment because indirectly they
profit from it. For this reason they
can afford to go to some trouble to
poration to take care of second mort
cages and to help deserving people in
the community to build homes and
finance them.
Other plans have been worked out
individually by lumber merchants, and
still others by groups Of merchants
and contractors in conference and CO.
operation with the local bankers who
have surplus money to lend. These
plans are based on getting the banks
to finance the second mortgage loans,
while the individual merchants or con-
tractors or groups of them, interested
in the work and profiting from it.
will indorse the second mortgages and
furnish security for them.
Another plan interviewer with this
includes friendly cooperation between
those holding the first mortgage and
those holding the second mortgage so
that the second mortgage may be dis
charged first. Say, for example, the
bank or other fiscal agent has insur-
ance money to lend on home building.
The arrangement would be to create
first mortgage covering so to so
per cent Of the value of the home.
Then a second mortgage to bridge
the gap between that sum and the
amount the home builder or buyer has
to start with.
The provision would be that the
home owner would pay only the in
terest on the first mortgage while
discharging entirely the second mort
gage on installment payments. In
other words, what payments on the
principal he makes from week to week
or month to month will apply upon
the second mortgage until it is wiped
out, then apply to the first mortgage.
This is a big thing in the second.
