Half Moon Wins From
Libby in Ragged Game

The Libby ball team went down to
an ignominious defeat last Sunday
when they lost q game to the Hall
Moon team by 8 to 4 score.
The locals started a promising young
pitcher Phillips and then proceeded
to cruelty him by as fine and large a
convention Of errors as were ever gath
cred into one game. Grounders roll
ed between the players legs without
hindrance, others were stopped and
fumbled until it was too late to throw
the batter out and runners now and
tim stole home because of poor base
ball The result was that the visitors
chalked up nine runs in five innings
The local boys offer as an explana-
ton that they had not been able tc
practice for week as several OF thu
players were on night shift at the saw
mill This is a reasonable excuse ane
undoubtedly explains the very pool

BOrrOws S22,2l1 For
MOdernizatiOn Of Homes

HELENA,-Of the ASIA loans ag-
gregating $1,3OO,300 made in Montana
by banks and other private lending
agencies up to April 30 Of this year
unuer the Federal Housing Admins
tration modernization credit plan, "a
borrowers of Lincoln county took adj
vantage of the plan for loans totalling
$22,211, said Barclay Craighead, state
director Of the Housing Administration.
These advances Of credit, classified
generally as character loans, were OBJ
tanned for the purpose of financing re-
pairs, improvements, modernization or
equipment for private homes, income
property, business and industrial plants
and other types of structure coming
under the eligibility regulations Of the
Federal Housing Administrations
While the range of the Montana
loans ran from $50, or even less, up to
| figures high in the thousands, the av-
erage Of all loans was S5l7, figure
about GO per cent higher than the av-
erage for the nation as a whole.
The periods of these loans range
from one to five years and dhey are
repayable in equal monthly install
ments. They are not to be confused,
said Mr.. Craighead, with the long
term amortized mortgage loans for the
construction or purchase Of city or
town homes or the refinancing Of ex-
isting mortgages upon such properties.
Partly because of the demand for
money with which to make repairs to
earthquake damaged properties, Lewis
and Clark county leads with 800 loans
aggregating $226519, although Yellow
stone county, with total Of S167 $50,
shows larger number Of individual
loans, or 312. In volume, but mot
necessarily in number of loans other
leading counties rank as follows: Cas-
cade third, Roosevelt fourth, Missoula
fifth, Silver Bow sixth, Flathead sew
enth, Ravalli eighth, Gallatin ninth,
Park tenth, Valley eleventh and Lake
twelfth.
Only one county, Wilbaux, failed to
take advantage of this plan Of financing
for home or business modernization.
a Modernixation loans, it is pointed ouI
: by the state director, are now confined
8 to projects for the improving of cx-
isting property, are no longer eligible
d for the purchase Of movable equipment
n and will be available to property own
ers or lessees up to April !, 1887.

FIRM
ON OIL BAN
BY HARRY K. REYNOLDS


LONDON, Jan. 16 G.N.SD.-The
British government today dis
claimed the authoritatively re-
ported intention of abandoning
leadership Of the League of Ma
tions in its sanctions fight against
Italy.
Shortly afterwards, Prime Min
lister Stanley Baldwin. for the
fourth time IN as many days,
summoned the cabinet defense
committee to a conference at No.
10 Downing Street. 1t was be-
lieved the ministers were studying
plans for strengthening the
British navy and royal air force.
Newspaper correspondents in
London after an important cabi-
net meeting yesterday cabled
around the world the report the
government had decided to press
oil sanctions against Italy or other
wise continue the aggressive stand
which had been taken in Geneva
against Italy.
Today the foreign office took
official notice of the reports, a
spokesman declaring that such
notices are untimely" and mac
curate since they ignore the main
factor and that the League is a
collective body whose decisions
must be taken collectively, and
that therefore it is not up to
Britain either to give or fail to
give the lead.
