Crop and Feed
Loans Received
Applications VIII Be Taken At
Sank Centre And
Other Points

Field Supervisor II. M. Johnshoy,
of the Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan OFFICE at st. Cloud, Mimi,
states that applications for emer-
gency crop loans and feed loans
are now being received by the
Stearns County Loan Committee,
with offices located at the Court
House, st. Cloud. Applications will
also be taken at Melrose, Sank Cen
ire, Belgrade, Brooten and Paynes-
vile.
In accordance with the Act of
Congress authorizing the loans,
and regulations issued by Governor
w. 7. Myers Of the Farm Credit
Administration, loans will be made
only to farmers who are unable to
obtain elsewhere seed, fertilizers,
supplies, feed or the necessary Gre
dit to purchase such items. Loans
will not be made to applicants who
can obtain credit in the amount
needed from any other source, in
Guiding the production credit asso-
citation.
ANY farmer who has the neces-
sary security should apply to the
production credit association first.
If the association Is unable to
make him a loan IN the amount
needed the farmer will receive a
statement to that effect and will
be considered eligible to apply for
a loan from the emergency fund.
The regulations provide that the
largest loan to one farmer this
year is $500 and the minimum $40,
but no loan may be made in an
amount greater than is actually
needed to cover the cash cost OF
purchasing seed, fertilizers, sup
plies, feed, etc. Loans will be made
for the purpose Of growing and
harvesting crops, for summer fal-
lowing, for purchasing feed Tor
livestock, but not for the purpose
of purchasing livestock or mach
inery, or for the payment Of debts
or taxes.
Loans will be made only to APP
plicants who are cooperating with
the Production Control program on
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration.
AS in the past, the security for
an emergency crop or feed loan
will consist Of a first lien on the
crop financed or on the livestock
to be fed. A tenant must also give
a first lien by getting the land
owner to waive his claim in favor
of the crop lien; but the landown-
er is in no way obligated for repay
ment Of his tenants loan.
Checks in payment for approx
ed loans will be issued by the Re
gional Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan Office at st. Paul, Mimi, and
not by the field supervisor or the
loan committee.

Bishop
CONSECRATED IN 1910
Special Services To Be Held
May 18th Goth,
and Dist u

Under the leadership of consul
tors and deans, the clergy of the
Diocese of st. Cloud are complet-
ing plans for celebration on May
10, 20, and n. of the 25th anniver-
sary of the episcopal conservation
of the Most Rev. Joseph F. Busch,
D. d. These arrangements were be
gun during the Bishops official Wis

have been appointed to assist them.

tations; Rev. William Renner, of
Alexandria, is in charge of the
Spiritual Bouquets; and Rev. Ed
ward Mahowall Of the banquet, at
which Rev. John Fearon, Of Nor
ris, will act as POSTMASTER.
It was Bishop Busch's intention
to spend the day of his silver jubil-
ee quietly, but his clergy felt that
a quarter century in the episco-
pacy is a distinction which does
not come to many and, therefore,
they urged that this occasion be
used to demonstrate the loyalty
and veneration of all the faithful
for their beloved diocesan pastor.
Upon his return to the City Of St.
Cloud in January, the plans were
submitted to the Bishop, who gave
his consent to such q demonstra-
ton very reluctantly.
May 10, Sunday, which is the
actual anniversary date, has been
set aside as Spiritual Day, on which
occasion each of the clergy is asked
to offer a Mass, and the laity to
receive the Sacraments as a spirit
ual bouquet for His Excellency. In
every church of the diocese, the
Most Blessed Sacrament will be
exposed at the first mass with re-
position after Holy Hour in the af-
ternoon or evening according to
the decision of each pastor.
May 20, Monday, is Children's
Day. Bishop Busch will celebrate q
Pontifical High Mass at the Cath
edral at 10 o'clock, during which
the children's choir consisting Of
$50 voices will sing. Each parish Is
invited to send at least two repre-
sentatives.
May q, Tuesday. is Clergy and
Civic Celebration Day. The Most
Rev. John Gregory Murray, Arch
bishop of st. Paul, will preach the
sermon at the 1880 Pontifical
High Mass at the Cathedral, to
which all the clergy are invited. A
banquet will be served for the
clergy at one o'clock at the st.
Cloud Orphan Home. A civic pro-
gram will be given in the evening
at the Paramount Theatre.
Bishop Busch is a son of the de-
ceased Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick
Busch of Red Wing. He began his
college work in Buffalo, New York.
The second year Of his career he
transferred to Sacred Heart coli
lege, a Jesuit school at Prairie du
CHEN, Wisconsin, now known as
Campdon. From there he went to
the celebrated University Of Inns

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-27

Today's biography deals with the history of one who has devoted practically all his life to making the boys of today better citizens of to- morrow Nicholas Combellack, managing director of the Boys Club.
 Many men of this city, some of them fathers themselves now, were once boys guided by Pop" Conbel- lack. And their sons are now be- ing aided along life's highway by Pop" as MT. Combellack is known to the ever-changing youth of this city. He has watched them grow from boyhood to manhood, and their success is his reward.
 Nicholas Combellack, son of Wil- liam and Mary (Toy) Combellack, was born in Cornwall, county of England bordering on the sea, Feb ruary 24th, 1863. His father died in 1876, when Nicholas was 13 years old. Sixteen years later his mother passed away. Both parents died in Cornwall and are buried there.
 Nicholas received his education at Carmenellis, an Episcopal church school, in Cornwall. After gradua- tion he served his apprenticeship for seven years in @ printing shop learning the trade of typesetter i. The next scene finds him working at his trade in the composing room of the "West Britain" a newspaper published in Truro, an outlying dis trict of Cornwall At the age of 25 he decided to come to America, landing all alone in 1888. He learned of the need of typesetters in Anso- mia, Connecticut, and succeeded in getting 8 job with the Sentinel, a local paper. He stayed six months and then wended his way to New Haven where he found work at the Boys club for the next two and a half years.
 In 1891 he came to Waterbury as superintendent of the Boys club then located on Harrison Avenue Four years later he got a leave of absence and returned to his birthplace where he joined his childhood sweetheart, Miss Emily Pryor in holy wedlock, in June, 1895 MT. Combellack brought his bride to Waterbury and resumed his duties at the Boys club The Combellacks had two offsprings, 8 boy and a girl, both o. whom died under one year. In time, MT. and Mrs. Combellack established home in Cheshire and lived happily un- til her death, July 20th, 1884.
 MT. Combellack's early ambition was to become the head of some agency charting, or at least guid- ing, the destinies of youth. This is perhaps the underlying reason for his remarkable success in later life along these lines MT. Combel- lack served as probation officer for the local courts for 31 years, re- signing about two years ago be- cause of ill health. He is a member of the odd Fellows '.

 Washington, December 27-(UP) = A direct test of President Roose- velt's strength in the house will be forced on the currency imitation is- sue during the first two weeks of the session, it was learned today.
 Supporters of the Frazier Lemke farm mortgage refinancing bill, call- ing for potential currency expan- sion of $8,0O0, 1000, 900 plan to open the session with an immediate drive for vote.
 Sponsors of the measure, which has the backing of 30 state legisla- lures in memorials to congress, lack II names on a petition designed to force a vote over administration wishes. Leaders admit that if the names are obtained the bill will pass.
 Leaders Plan to Block Democratic leaders are planning to prevent completion of the petit ton by pressure on members. The Frazier Lemke block has been caIl- wasting members during the recess. Representatives Usher L. Burdick, necessary additional names should republican, North Dakota, said the be obtained a week after congress convenes. If they are not, their bat tie may be lost until next year.
 The petition had POT names when congress adjourned. Representa- tive William Lemke, republican, North Dakota, co-author of the bill, vii Head the fight for the 218 names tocomplete the petition. He claims sufficient pledges to put it over. Democratic leaders claim they can obtain withdrawals enough to off set any gains.
 The Bill provides for longtime refinancing at low interest rates of all farm mortgages through a plan by which 3,000,000,000 in new cur rency would be used as a revolving fund, This fund would be used again and again, if necessary, until "dunked" himself at least once a week.
