Tenant Program
Is Now Extended
Ashe Among so New COun-
ties Now Eligible.
For Loans.

Every county in North Carroll
ma will receive loans to help
farm tenants become owners un-
der the Bankhead-Jones Farm
Tenant Act according to informa-
ton received here by FSA Coun-
ty Supervisor, w. Bryan Oliver,
from the State Director of the
Farm Security Administration,
Vance E. Swift.
Blanketing the entire state,
fifty new counties were desig-
mated by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace upon the
advice of the State Advisory
Committee.
"The FSA has helped 389 ten
ants in North Carolina to become
landowners during the past two
years." Mr.. Oliver said. "Con-
gress, in its battle to keep the
American farmer on his farm,
appropriated $40,000,000 recent
ly to be used under the provi-
sions of the Bankhead-Jones
Farm Tenant Act to help stop the
alarming trend from farm own
ership to tenancy.
''These loans are made for a
40-year period at three percent
interest. However, the act pro-
vides that after five years pay
ment in full can be made at any
time. Under a variable payment
plan farmers may, make larger
payments in good years with
smaller payments due in years of
partial crop failure or low pric-
eS."
Mr.. Oliver said repayment of
these loans all over the United
States is remarkable with Dor
roWers repaying 1875 per cent of
maturities. Further information
about how to apply for these
loans will be given by the Coun-
ty Supervisor whose office is To-
Gated in the Woodie Building,
West Jefferson, N. c. (ofice hours
Monday and Saturday morning),
and at the Courthouse, Spar Ia, N.
c. Coffee hours Tuesday morn
ing between the hours of 9 and
10 a. ny.
A three-farmer advisory COM
mittee will assist the Supervisor,
examine the applications, ap-
praise farms applicants wish to
buy and recommend tenants for
successful farm ownership. Bor-
rowers will have the help and
guidance of the Farm Security
Administration in building or re-
pairing their homes and in max
ing plans to do better farming.

are limited, Mr.. Oliver said the

Compromise Is
Reached In A
Referee Case
Grouse Recommends Settle
ment so That Court Costs
Wouldn't Exceed Amt.

Referee Floyd Grouse made an
unusual and highly commend
able suggestion yesterday morn
ing IN connection with the hear
ing Of the E. E. Trivett case
against J. c. Cope.
Trlvett was suing Cope for
$844.00, which he contended was
due him from the construction of
the two brick buildings located
here in West jefferson next door
to The Skyland Post.
In the original construction of
the buildings, the two men were
more or less partners but later
made a division and Trivett
claimed that Cope still owed
him $4,000 resulting from con-
struction costs.
This was the second or third
time that the case had come up
for trial and after hearing the
evidence and realizing that it
was a highly involved case, Ref
cree Grouse recommended that
the two men reach a compromise
agreement and thereby save
themselves court costs which
might be more than the amount
of money in controversy.
Attorneys for both sides agreed
to see what they could do about
the matter and within q short
time it was agreed that a COM
promise would be effected
whereby Cope would pay Tri-
vett the sum of $458 and that
they would divide the cost of
court.

OUTLOOK FOR PEACE
RRIGHTENS IN EUROPE

Europe breathed easier Tues
day upon hearing optimistic pre-
dictions that the German-Polish
quarrel over Danzig might soon
be settled peaceably.
Tangible clues were lacking,
but the feeling grew in old world
capitals that the explosive issue
would be dissolved without war.
Rising financial markets reflect
ed the slackened tension.
A German government spokes-
man said in Berlin the official
belief there was that the Danzig

rection of a peaceable solution"

good, however, because the YanKs
could still win on home runs into
the stands on which they wouldn't
have to run.
Then there were the obvious sug-
gestions, such as limiting the
Yankees to two outs an inning in
stead of the customary three; MAX
ing Joe DiMaggio bat one-handed;
allowing the opposition batsmen to
call for the kind of pitch they
wanted, just as they were allowed
to do in the olden days; starting
the Yankees opponents with three
runs; limiting the double plays of
Gordon and Crosetti to two game;
making it compulsory for Dickey
to skip, not run, between bases;
and the Yankees to play Berger in
left field.
These are all very good, but I
don't think that any one of them
would completely offset the ad-
VdllUdSC Vic Pl CoSuO NCW 1Oi II
machine has over the other teams.
If it were left to me to decide
what handicap to impose I believe
I would make the Yankees and
the other team choose up sides be-
fore the game started.
Take the game that is to be
played here tomorrow. Fifteen min
utes before game time Managers
Joe Mccarthy and Bill McKechnie
could meet at home plate. match
for first choice, and start picking
the teams of the afternoon. Say
McKechnie got first choice. This
would give him at least four Yam
KEGS on his side, and my guess is
that he would pick DiMaggio, Cor
don, Rolfe, and either Crosetti OF
Keller. He wouldn't take any
Yankee pitchers, because the Gin
cinnati pitching has been all right

Derringer in the first game.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-10-06
By HENRY McLEMORE

CINCINNATI, Oct. 6. (UP)-The
suggestion has been made by more
than one fair-minded citizen that
some sort of handicap be worked
out for the New York Yankees in
order that the National league
teams which meet them in the
World Series each fall will have a
chance.
At the risk of being stoned on
the street, here is this town where
the Reds are revered and looked
upon as a race of be-flanneled
supermen, must admit that l think
the suggestion is a sensible one.
And I believe that even the most
rabid devotee of the Reds in this
city would agree, too, had he wit
messed the first two games of the
present World Series in New York.
To date the Reds haven't won a
game. In two games their total
of hits is six and of runs one. The
Yanks, on the other hand, have
won two games, made Is hits, and
scored six runs. This superiority
of the Yankees in World Series
competition with National league
clubs didn't just start day before
Yesterday. They've been butcher
ing National league teams for Sew
eral years, and of their last 25
games have won %. Incidentally
two of the three games they have
lost were won by Carl Hubbell,
which just goes to show what a
helluva man out there on the
mound OF Carlos was.
Several means of handicapping
the Yankees have been suggested
One man, obviously follower OF
the horses, suggested that they be
made to carry lead, just as a stake
thoroughbred is made to carry
weight to bring him down to the
statue of platers. This isn't SC
