CREDIT VOLUME HIGH

A reflection of the sustained activ-
ity in home building even during the
Winter season is seen in the continued
rise in the volume Of outstanding
credits Of the Federal Home Loan
Banks to their member institutions,
reported at $l03. 147, 400 on January 4.
This total, the highest in the history
Of the bank system, represents gain
Of 43 per cent over the low point in
April. 1885.
Beginning April 10, 1885. there has
been an unbroken week by week rise
in the volume Of net credits employed
by the member institutions, called for
by the demand upon them for long
term mortgage funds from home own
ers for the construction, purchase or
modernization Of homes. or to re-
finance existing home mortgages.

Bedtime Stories
The Craftiness of Reddy Fox.

throat. He was growing to himself.
At Just that instant how he did hate
Terror the Goshawk!
why can't he stay up where he be-
longs" grumbled Reddy. Il don't go
up hunting in his country, so why
should he come down hunting in mine?
He has no right to that Grouse"
You would have thought that Reddy
owned that Grouse, not that the Grouse
had any rights whatsoever. But Reddy
didn't grumble long. Something hap
pened that brought him to his feet.
There was a cloud of snow that Just
for a second almost hid Terror the
Goshawk Then he heard a sharp
scream. He knew it for what it was,
q scream Of disappointment. The snow
settled. The Grouse was not in sight
Terror the Goshawk was Tapping back
and forth over partly filled hole in
the snow. Reddy grinned. Then he
chuckled. II didn't know that those
young Grouse had become that smart, -
said he to himself. THAT bird is down
there in the snow, hiding, and Terror
doesn't know how to get at him. That
is Terror's bad luck, but it is my good
luck. Just as soon as that robber goes
away I'll trot over there and see if !
can catch that Grouse in the snow"
So Reddy Fox, who was, you see,
ready to take advantage of another S
hard luck, kept watch until he saw
Terror the Goshawk fly away. He
watched only long enough to make
sure that Terror really had gone. Then
Reddy made his way through the snow
to the spot where that young Grouse
had disappeared. You see, that disap-
pearance had been brought about by q
headlong plunge into the snow. Reddy
knew that that bird was still there, and
not very far away. He was making the
most Of opportunity.

SINGLE MORTGAGE
BENEFIT GENERAL
Federal Housing Admins
traitor Sees Tonic Effects
on Real Estate.

The tonic effect of the insured
mortgage on real estate generally.
with the resultant restoration Of con-
fldence and the loosening Of mortgage
funds, may be considered factors Of
vital interest to all investors and
property owners in the opinion Of
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator.
Benefits Of the single mortgage
system" and q reformed method Of
home financing are not confined, he
said, to those who have enlisted the
direct aid of the national housing act.
Unofficial Approval Stamp.
1.-THE insured mortgage on home
must be regarded as an unofficial
stamp Of approval-a hallmark OF
quality" he continued. 1T must be
remembered that a mortgage is &C
copied for insurance only when the
property meets the minimum require.
ments Of the Federal Housing Adj
ministration both as to property and
neighborhood standards.
Even the home on which the
owner has an old style short-term
mortgage derives an indirect benefit
If the property is located In close
proximity to homes built or purchased
with insured mortgages. 1t means. in
effect, that the neighborhood has
earned an acceptable rating by tech
nical experts of the housing admins
tration and this service, in the opinion
of even those who have no direct con-
tact with insured mortgages, means
a long step toward the sterilization of
property values.
Stabilized Value One Aim.
There are many examples of whole
community Improvement brought
about through the study of these
problems by Federal Housing ADJ
ministration's technical experts and
Of their contribution to advanced zon-
ing and city planning. Sterilization
of real estate values is but one Of
the aims of the national housing act,
and substantially, this is another way
of saying we are seeking improvement
in housing conditions"
Wider use Of. the insured mortgage,
which would mean wider application
Of the regulations of the Federal
Housing Administration and the
means by which Federal underwriters
measure mortgage risk, would con-
stantly improve the character of
homes, would add to their period Of
usefulness and consequently would in
crease their earning power as invest
mentS, he said.

Indoor Plants Enhancing.

Plants indoors at this time of the
year lend a note Of charm to a room.
Three or four shelves-just wide
enough to hold a flower pot and
brightly enameled or lacquered-can
be attached to the woodwork of a

The crooks also may be coated in
bright tints so that they will be
colorful whether the plants they con-
tain are blooming or not.

CREW OF SIXTY

AT CANNERY
Plant Expects to Process
Thirty Tons Per. Day at
Peak of Season; Quality is
Fairly Good

With q crew of 30 women and rs
men at work. the Kennewick Can
ming Co., Inc. started its seasons
run on tomatoes Wednesday morn
ing. More than 10 tons of toma-
tpes were processed at the plant on
the opening day, the company hop
ing to have about three times this
quantity per day when harvesting
gets into full stride.
The tomatoes received are far
superior in quality to the first ones
we had last year." Superintendent
Alfred Brown, reports. However,
growers can cooperate a great deal
by leaving their Gull tomatoes, which
includes all wormy ones, In the field
and by not picking their tomatoes
too green" he adds. Tomatoes
should be vine ripened and red all
over before being picked"
State Inspector Glenn Nagley
states that most of the tomatoes re-
ceived at the cannery are running
three-fourths No. with many
growers obtaining q better grade
than this. Many tomatoes are grad
ed No. 2 because they show too much
green.
The cannery will receive tomatoes
every day and expects to operate
until frost. Tomatoes may be de-
livered at any time, day or noght.

Fl FARMS SOLD
THIS YEAR BY
COL. IRR. DIST.
Six Tracts Go to New Corners
to State; Local Men Add to
Present Holdings; Pay
ments Good

One of the most interesting facts
revealed in the semi-annual report
Of Columbia Irrigation District to
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton is the great increase in the
sale of tax-deeded lands by the Dis
trict putting them back on the ass
essment roll.
Since January 1, 1896, sales made
by the District totaled $l0,615 which
represents 81 farm tracts and 6 par
GELS of city property. OF these q
pieces Of farm property, 8 were
sold by w. G. Larson, Northern Pa
cific. immigration Agent. Six of his
sales were to new corners in the
community and the other two to To-
cal residents. The balance of the
twenty tracts were sold thru the To-
cal office of the District and were
mostly to local residents who are
adding to their present holdings.
Most of these sales are made on
terms with a down payment of one
fifth the purchase price and a max
imum Of four years time given on
the balance.
This healthy condition of sales is
particularly desirable at this time,
since it enables the District to ac-
cumulate the required cash surplus
according to specifications of the
RIG without raising the operation
and maintenance or the bond rates
to do it.
