Ken MURRAY
Says:

There was certainly great con-
Sternation among the European
family when Italy and Germany
both beat the gun in officially
recognizing the Spanish General
Franco, and his alleged insur-
gent government. Well, guess
you can't blame the Fascist
couple for being overzealouS
about the insurgent leader! To
the fond parents, any child Is
perfect.
With Russia and France hOv-
ering behind the goal posts, it
seems a little previous for the
FaScists to congratulate France,
especially when the ball is still
on the 1O-yard line.
Poor Spain has been used as
a laboratory to find out the
strength of Communism and
FaScism. You know, in Europe
these days, a man can't even get
into politics without a blOOd-teSt.
Really, all this blOOdshed
seems so very silly when you
consider that both sides are
fighting for some form of dicta-
torship. Yes, I know our Civil
War lasted longer, but at least,
in the end, everybody was free.

come to the Capital for the Sec
ond inauguration of President
Roosevelt on January 20, it was
indicated today.
kilograms received from the
Governors of a number of states
have indicated that they will at
tend the ceremonies and that
large delegations will come from
their states.
Hotel managers report that
reservations are pouring in, and
that there are indications one Of
the biggest crowds ever will be
on hand to witness the first jan
uary inaugural ceremonies.
One of the most important steps
will be the naming of chairman
and members of the inaugural COM
mittee. 1t has been expected this
would be delayed until a return of
the President, but with the grow
ing enthusiasm for a great inau-
gural, it was indicated today that
the appointment of the chairman
might be made on December /,
giving about six weeks to perfect
the plans.

Community Chest leaders looked

Both units are tagging behind

raised before Tuesday if the chest
drive of 1886 is to go over the top.
Thus, with today and Sunday in

$15O,OO0.
Many Of the workers have de-
clared they will again forego their

way they hope to reach many per-

day in the strike of the Howard
University football squad.
Mordecai johnson, president of
the university, stated fatty there
could be no meeting of the strikers
demands for jobs payable in board
at a training table.
Such action, he said, would en-
danger the amateur standing Of
the institution, and he does not
intend doing that.
Answering a complaint that the
equipment given the players was
not good, he declared the acces-

FARMER CREDIT
IN PRODUCTION
Extended Federal Aid To the
Amount of S369,4S6 Since
Year of 1884
MANY FARMERS SERVED

The Delaware Production Credit
Association in Dover, Del, in
creased its total commitments to
farmers during the first four
months of this year 17.8 per cent
over the same period of 1885. ac-
cording to figures released by the
Production Credit Corporation of
Baltimore, supervisory agency of
the association. At the same time
the number of loans has increased
from 121 to $50, or 10 per cent.
Slightly more than $4,000 in
short-term loans was arranged
during the first quarter of 1886 as
compared to $72,988 last year.
Bennett Grain, treasurer of the
Production Credit Corporation of
Baltimore, expressed himself as
position of the Delaware associa-
highly gratified by the improved
ton. In Delaware, as in the other
four states of the second Farm
Credit Administration district, we
have been endeavoring to bring
Ishort-term production credit to the
farmers in a way most advantage
Gus to them," he said. Naturally
in the short period of time since
Production Credit Associations
were set up, much of our work has
been of an experimental nature
and we have had to learn many
things from experience. Changes
have been made where they have
been found necessary. The large
increase in the volume of commit
ments this year, as well as the in
creased number of borrowers, in
dicates that we are moving in the
right direction and serving more
farmers" Organized early in 1884
this association has advanced to
Delaware farmers, a total of $3.50.
