Retaliation Means Gold

Retaliation, If it means anything,
requires a return to the interna-
tional gold standard. Otherwise, a
declaration that the dollar has been
stabilized at IS or so cents would
simply assert that the dollar now
worth zero in gold has become
worth two-thirds or one-half zero
in gold It is patent that we can
not revalue without re-embracing
the gold standard. Common pru-
dence would compel our government
to return to gold only in conjunc-
ton with others, notably Great
Britain.
So far the White House has not
directed the Treasury to enter into
negotiations with the British debt
envoy-soon to be in Washington
looking toward sterilization. 1t is
more or less assumed that Sir Fred
erick Leith-Rose and the British
embassy staff themselves will raise
the question.
But when the issue of relating the
pound to the dollar and the allied
question of return to gold arise,
treasury officials charged with dis
cussing the debt settlement must
turn to the White House. Dean
Acheson, under secretary of the
treasury and head Of the American
debt authority, regards that sub
ject as falling within the larger
field Of administration policy.

REPRESENTATIVE OF LAND
BANK NOW LOCATED HERE
Paul A. Ulman Is Correspondent
for Federal Land Bank and
Land Bank Commissioner
COMES TO HELP FARMERS

For the purpose of helping the
farmers of the country and to see
that their needs and interests are pro-
tected, Paul A. Ulman, correspondent
for the Land Bank Commissioner and
the Federal Land Bank of Baltimore,
has located in Oakland for an indefi-
mite time.
Farmers who have mortgages and
are being threatened with foreclosure,
will have chance, through Mr.. Ul-
man, to protect their property.
The Federal Land Bank and the
Land Bank commissioner are making
loans up to $4,000 on farms already
owned and also on farms to be pur-
chased by farmers. The Federal
Government has placed at their dis
posal three hundred millions of dol
lars to distribute throughout the en-
tire United States to farmers who
need assistance to save their homes
and property.
The plan provides, according to Mr..
Ulman, for interest to be paid semi
annually at the rate of percent
yearly, and no payments are to be
made on the principal for the first
three years. The maturity of the
mortgages is Is years, with the OPP
ton to extend it for as much as 43
years. The plan is devised to make
it as easy as is humanity possible so
that farmers will have every oppor-
tunity to pay the mortgage debt with
out great effort on their part.
A farmer who has mortgage and
who is being threatened with fore
closure, may apply for loan and I'M
der these circumstances the Federal
Land Bank will pay off the debt and
have the mortgage released. 1t will
also help the farmer who has obi
cations and debts that are pressing
him, or the farmer who needs money
for paying taxes or as working capt.
tai for making improvements, or any
other legitimate purpose.
at is important to remember, "Mr.
Ulman stated, "that the government
through the Federal Land Bank and
the Land Bank Commissioner pays
off the mortgages or other debts in
cash and not in bonds"
Any farmer in the county in dis
tress and wanting any information or
assistance is asked not to hesitate to
call on Mr.. Ulman. He will be in the
office of the clerk of the circuit court
from until each day, and from 5
until 9 o'clock in the evenings at the
William-James hotel.

In explaining how he prepared the
soil, the club member told Mr.. Carter
the following: Sweet clover was cut
after the seed ripened in early Aug
ust and left on the ground until early
October, then plowed under to depth
of or 9 inches. An application of
barnyard manure was applied during
the winter and the ground plowed
again the 18th of May. Land was
then prepared for planting, being
careful to prepare good seed bed.
Twenty-Five bushels of certified home
grown seed were planted on June 4,
4 inches deep, 6 to 7 inches between
seed pieces and 80 inches between
rows. Eight hundred pounds of 2-14-

Painfully Injured When Bitten
By Police Dog

A. T. (Bert) Watson, Deer Park,
was attacked few days ago by his
police dog, tearing his shirt, lacerat-
ing his body in number of places
and biting him on the arm. His
wounds were dressed by DIR. M. C.
limbaugh, Oakland.
Watson had dressed the leg of an
airdale dog which had been in a
fight with the police dog, and it is
thought the police dog attacked him
on account of blood on his person.
The dog was kept week for observa-
ton, after which he was shot.

Blister Rust Discovered Here

White pine blister rust has been
found on the farm of A. J. Kolb-
feisch near the Oakland Crellin road.
This is the first blister rust infection
found thus far in Garrett county. The
disease was found only on the leaves
of gooseberries but it is believed that
a few pines were infected. This in
lection has probably taken place
three or four years ago. 1t is very
probable that there are other infec-
tions in the county which have not
as yet been located.
