some applicants to seek cid for the
sole purpose Of satisfying outstand-
ing Indebtedness, including bailing
out Of banks. Such loans are outside
the category of those contemplated
by the statute authorizing business
loans. Also, there can be little doubt
as to the undesirabilty of permitting
the transfer of private debts to the
Government, thereby causing a
breakdown of existing credit rela-
tions between business and private
financial institutions. However, a
loan involving the refunding of out
standing Indebtedness may be ap-
proved where the refunding is not
the sole objective but is incidental
to the need for increased working
capital or plant expansion.
During the last year a great deal
has been said about the desirability
of Government insurance for bank
loans to business enterprises. The
r. F. c. has had in operation for a
long time an insurance plan for
business loans made by banks. These
are termed participation loans"
Banks Are Sharing.
OF the $500 business loans author
lied blythe corporation, it is inter-
esting to observe that banks have
agreed to share in nearly one third
of them-making possible the injec-
ton into business of $162 ,OOO. 900
from private sources. OF this
amount more than one-half repre-
sents loans made after "take-out'
agreements were obtained from
R. F. c. These constitute the insur-
ance to which reference has just
been made.
As you will have gathered from
what has already been said, the
corporation participates in two types
OF bank loans designed to encour-
age banks to inject private funds

which must carefully consider the
liquidity of It's investments. How
ever, 1t Is not easy to understand
why a properly amortized Song term
loan should not be acceptable to
banks. In any event a deferred par
ticipation arrangement offers q Gov
ernment obligation capable OF i'm
mediate liquidation, and from a
bankers standpoint, this should be
perhaps the most attractive fea-
ture of the r: F. C.'s participation or
insurance program.
Many banks have chosen to al
low r. F. C. to serve as an expert
mental laboratory in which the
lending operation is performed and
after its success has been demon
strated they have then volunteered
to purchase all or a part Of the loan.
Under ordinary circumstances If the
borrower consents there is no OBJ
lection to the sale of such a loan,
or part of 1t, to a local bank since
the procedure merely represents an
indirect method of inducing q pri-
vate bank into the picture. How
ever, the willingness of a bank to
participate at the outset is an i'm
portant element in the considera-
ton Of a loan.
Banks Help.
In order to make our facilities
available in every nook and corner
of the country, all banks have been
asked to forward to the nearest
R. F. c. Office any loan applications
which they themselves are unwilling
to approve. In addition arrange
ments recently have been made
with the Federal Housing Admin
istration and the Home Loan Bank
Board for their local Offices either
to receive r. F. c. applications or to

of handsome holiday decorations.
both at homes and places of bust
ness, perhaps the most elaborate is
at the thicket of evergreens just be-
yond the nurses home at Rocky
Glen sanatorium. Here the Jolly
Old Fellow has left his team of
eight reindeer, hitched to red
sleigh six feet long, and gone over
in the thicket and is about to de-
scend chimney with his pack
Everything is constructed on a reg
ular lifesized scale. The sleigh
and reindeer in all measure "a feet
in length. AT both ends of the scene
are brilliantly lighted trees which
with strong fiood-light, produce a
dazzling effect. The sled and rein
deer are carved out of ply board
and the reindeer are in the natural
color of brown and tan.
Harry w. Torbert designed and
constructed the whole outfit and it
is real work of art and well worth
going many miles to see.
A broadcasting system has been
installed in the office of the sana-
torium, where Christmas music and
programs are broadcast to the pa
tients who are not able to see the
festivities.
Another outstanding decoration
IS at the Raymond Finley place on
Malta hill, which after night can be
seen for many miles around.

BOLD ROBBERY AT
COFFEE SHOP

Sunday night about 9 o'clock a
bold robbery was perpetrated here
at the Coffee Shop, when a young
man entered the restaurant
which is also the bus station, and
picked up slot machine and ran
away with it. Mr.. and Mrs. Ersel
Berry, the proprietors were alone
when a well dressed young man en-
tered and stood near the front OF
the room Mr. Berry went to wait
on him and he said he wanted two
egg sandwiches; and that he want
ed to take them with him. Mr..
Berry started to the kitchen and
had just disappeared from the
room, when he heard his wife
scream that they We're being rob-
bed, and just then the robber had
gone out the front door with the
small counter machine and put it
into waiting automobile parked in
the alley.
Mr. Berry grabbed his revolver
and started after him. He saw the
machine moving swiftly up the al
ley. 1t had no lights on it, SO
could not get the license numbers.
AS it speeded away Mr.. Berry fired
six shots in an effort to halt the
bandit, but without success. Mr.
Berry is sure there were two per-
sons in the machine, if not three.
But little money was in the slot ma
chine-perhaps not more than 50.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS AT
PACKING PLANT COMPLETED

The extensive Improvements which
have been under way at the Finley
packing plant here are about com
pleted. They consist of two new
Diesel engines to be used for supply
ing electricity to the entire plant
A new building has been construct
ed to house the engines. A new 25
h. p. steam boiler will supply the
plant with steam for cooking and
for heating A new steam cooker
has been added for cooking sausage,
and new large steam jacket kettle
for rendering lard. The former will
cook 1900 pounds per hour and the
lard kettle will handle 1900 pounds
of lard at time. New improve
ments have also been made in the
slaughter house, including dehair-
ing machine, which has capacity
of 60 hogs per hour.
These latest improvements cost
around $4,000. Since starting Is
years ago the plant has been ex-
panded from time to time and is
one of the best small equipped pack
ing plants in the country
The equipment has not decreased
the number of regular employees at
the plant, which at present numbers

MORE RABID GRAY FOXES

Saturday evening when Gift Mil
ner of Malta was hunting up Mil
ler's hollow, his two dogs attacked
fox, and one of the dogs is known
to have been bitten The fox ran
under pile of fence rails, and Mr..
Miner killed it with a club. The
head was sent to Columbus to be ex-
amined, and while no report has yet
been received, it is thought that it
was rabid, because of it's actions.
1t was poor in flesh, and it's tail a
mass of burs. 1t is stated that a
healthy fox always keeps it's tail
free of burs.
Monday night Norman James Of
the Malta north river road, who re-
sides on the former Moore place,
went hunting. His two dogs got in
to a fight with fox, which Mr..
James killed. The examination of
it's head showed the fox was rabid.
