the opening minutes of play, with
the Cat offense stopped and Wea-

the ever alert Cats started going.

BRITONS RUSH
PROGRAM FOR
LARGER NAVY
Say Efforts Desperate to
Maintain Traditional
Sea Mastery
CRUISERS WILL BE
MORE HEAVILY ARMED
Ely HARRY FLORY
Copyright 1888 by United Press)

LONDON, Oct. 7.-UP)-
Great Britain is speeding up her
1888 naval building program in a
desperate effort to maintain her
traditional mastery of the seas.
The United Press was inform
ed on good authority today that
the program would be advanced
several months, in view of the ma
val construction programs in the
United States and Japan.
An admiralty spokesman, when
asked for official confirmation,
refused either to confirm or deny
the report.
The British construction pro-
gram approved for 1888 includes
Small cruisers ...... 4
Destroyers i....... 9
Submarines ..........
Normally construction on these
new and up-to-date warships
would not begin until next Febru-
airy or probably March. However,
the British government has kept
an easy eye on the naval programs
IN the United States and Japan,
her two chief rivals on the sea,
and was believed prepared to push
ahead her normal shipyards sched-
ule to keep pace with the fast
moving naval race long feared and
now apparently under way.
Furthermore, radical altera-
tons in the British cruiser designs
to enable them to carry additional
guns were being ordered, it was
learned authoritatively.
These changes, the United
Press was informed. may be nee
essary in view of the new United
States 10,OOO-ton six-inch gun
cruisers which have been approx
ed by Washington as part of
Americas naval modernization
plan.
Also, the new japanese $500
ton cruisers, while smaller, are
equipped with Is five-inch guns,
giving them an advantage over
the type of Cruiser which the Brit
ish original design called for in
the new construction.
The admiralty remained silent
to all queries. but it was believed
these new men-o-war would be
rushed to completion with all dis
patch. -,
Japan has intimated she will de-
.mand close to equality with Brit
ain and the United States in ma
val power at the next naval con-
ference-another factor in sit
uation which Britain, as an island
empire, also regards as a menace
to her position on the seas.

NAV RECOVERY
STEPS TAKEN
Commodity Unit Organ
lied; Expected to Obtain
Minimum Prices
By FREDERICK A. STORM
Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondents
WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. (UP).
The administration embarked on
a new phase of its recovery pro-
gram last night with announce
ment of organization of a corpo-
ration with widespread powers 20
deal in agricultural commodities
with the two-fold objective of es-
tablishing minimum prices for es-
sential farm products, and of pro-
viding immediate financial aid.
The new organization will be
called the Commodity Credit Cor
poration, and, according to a Re-
construction Finance Corporation
explanation issued subsequent to
President Roosevelt's afternoon
announcement of its plans, it will
have power "to buy, hold, sell,
lend upon. or otherwise deal in
such commodities as may In his
(the president's) discretion seem
for the best interest of the recov-
cry program.
Thus, what started out 1orC-
night ago to be a plan for imme-
date relief of cotton farmers
through loans of 10 cents pound
on their product, has become a
move through which the govern
ment may, if it wishes, deal IN all
essential farm commodities IN
such a way as to regulate their
price and assist in any moves to
restrict their production.
The corporation will have an
initial capital of $3,OO0,O0O from
emergency funds, but this may be
expanded by executive decree;
The first step in its operations will
be confined tU cotton and will be
linked directly with plans for re-
ducing the 1884 crop. After that,
the r. F. C. explanation made 1t
evident. there are almost no Inn,
its to the possible operations OF
the corporation in market and
production regulation. =.
The r. F. C. estimated that II
all cotton now in the hands OF
producers were stored in ware
houses as collateral for 10 cent
loans under the new plan, a total

Medal Contest Is
Set Monday Night
W.C.T.U. Event Will Be at
M. E. Church

Announcement is made by Mrs.
w. X. Ship of the local W.C.T.U.
organization that a silver medal
contest will be conducted at the
Hendersonville Methodist church
Monday evening, beginning at
7:3O o'clock.
The contest is to be city-wide,
the participants being young la
dies from several churches and
every section of the city. Names
of contestants are not announced
in advance for the reason that
the rules of the W.C.T.U. contest
forbid this.
The contest Monday evening
will be the fifth conducted in the
county and several others are in
course of preparation. The win
ners of these contests will partici-
pate in a countrywide contest and
the winner of that contest will be
privileged to participate in a
statewide contest to be held some
time during the autumn.

ed standing up. A line buck for
the extra point failed and the 10
Gals were in the lead, 60.
The remainder of the first half
found the locals stopping every
thing Weaverville had to offer
and keeping the visitors backed
up in their own territory. In the
third quarter the Cats started an
other drive that almost ended dis
astrously, B. Drank pulled down
one Of Parker's short passes and
headed up the field with no oppo-
sition, but he lacked the necessary
speed and the flying Edney pulled
him down from behind on the 15-
yard line after he had covered IS
yards and put the visitors in scor-
ing position. 1t was a beautiful
play by Drank and only a great
run by the speedy Edney saved
the local goal line.
Weaverville lined up for the
final push but great Cat line,
backed by equally brilliant work
in the backfield, stopped them
dead, failing to gain on running
plays they took to the air but
the small but speedy local back
field covered everything.
With but four minutes left to
play in the final quarter, the spec
tators were beginning to leave
their seats when the fireworks
started again. Johnson had kicked
the Cats out of danger with the
hard-hitting Gilmer stopping the
Weaver safety man in his tracks
and the locals had pushed the ball
to mid-feld. With the ball few
