REPAIRS, OFFERED HERE
Persons Desiring Assistance Need Not Hesitate To Apply
For H Loaas In
Pascagoula

Persons desiring new homes or
wishing to repair and improve their
present homes. have no need TO
worry over the considerable amount
Of red tape and other details which
have been necessary IN former years.
II was pointed out BY ~ y Herring.
president OF the pascaauula National
Bank OF PascagoulA and Mess Point
The simplest and easiest methods
u financing such improvements IN
the history Of our nation il nov
available through the FfIA system
In the building Of a new home
only the minimum requirements are
asked by tine FILA. and these are
very reasonable and within the
reach Of almost every person Of
responsibility and economy.
No longer Is II necessary for the
person desiring q new home 70 have
a large income. In fact new homes
can be acquired o. new additions
and improvements made &c q home
with the cost being paid for ct
lower rate than the prevailing rent
al Of q home. This may sound UNI
reasonable but the figures revealed
In an interview with Mr.. Herring
prove these statements.
For instance. payments can be ex-
tended 0rer = period Of frofn II
months 20 II years Of even longer
where q new home Is 70 be built The
scale Is worked on . graduated
basis and the more that Is paid on
the principal. the loser the pay
ments becomes 4 home costing
81 900 can be built with ; down pay
ment Of 500. Even the cost Of the
building site win be taken into con-
sideratioD Is part Of al Of the down
payments.
The system Is applied only 20
the smaller types Of huoses.s Mr..
Herring stated. Leans to repair.
alter. or improve existing structures
may not exceed $3.50 exclusive Of
financing charges. nor will loans to
erect new structures exceed this
amount.
In other words the system Is set
up TO apply to he families and per-
sons Of low income. vino desire q
modern. comfortable home without
OyerbuFdening themselves with pay
ments. The FLA loans which are
obtainabie through the bank are ar
ranged 70 suit each individual. Who
almost dictates his oHn terms.
With Paseaeoula needing more
new homes and increased housing
facilities this Is = great incentive

kept looking at her with his face
darkly intent.
Don Luis came to the veranda
and moment later Shane. They
took chairs and Don Luis lighted a
cigar. His flne, bearded face was
placid in the glow of the match.
He said, You are making friends
with Senor Meade, Elena?"
Diane smiled, and said, I'm a
way, yes" And John laughing:
"Oh, We are already good friends,
Don Luis. We Yankees understand
one another"
"Yon Yankeesl" Don Luis said,
and gave depreciating grunt.
Once I hated the gringo Yankees.

come to believe that they stand high
in comparison to some other races" :"
Sure =" 1t was Shane's course

Now take this fellow coming .
Senor Bruckman :"
The Plot Is Involved.
Only Shane had been aware OF
the approaching figure. Diane
turned to look and noticed. not only
the newcomer, but John Meade. His
eyes had narrowed and his mouth
was suddenly grimly set. Don Luis
rose and went to the edge Of the
veranda.
He said, welcome, Senor Bruck-
mann. 1t is some days since have
seen you"
1T is exactly two weeks, Don
Luis" the man said
His English was less perfect than
Don Luis. He spoke it with
cultural accent. He stepped onto
the veranda, and his boot heels
made sharp sound on the tile floor.
He wore khaki breeches and shirt, a
wide -brimmed felt hat, and when
Don Luis introduced him he took
monocle from his shirt pocket and
screwed it into his right eye.
To Diane, that monocle was more
than incongruous. 1t was ridiculous.
A man in outdoor clothes affecting
a monocle! His hair was close
clipped and seemed to bristle. His
eyes were blue; the hard, cold
blue of a gem. His jaws were
angular, his mouth thin-lipped
and severe. No emotion showed in

rich man."
"No. it hasn't But I suppose he
is. He owns this big hacienda and
all the land around It,"
And" John said, "as his grand
daughter you stand chance to
share It,"
mo! don't want that. I'm not
like that, JohnW
He tossed away his cigarette and
moved very closely. He put his
hands on her shoulders. Diane
trembled under his touch. She tried
to back away but he held her.
Then why are you in this?" he
demanded.
Not for myself. For" She al
most said for Juan, but Shane had
told her John Meade might be in
terested in finding Juan. She said,

anymore"

base Of the plant or underground
in the potato itself. If the vines
at the base are swollen and the
bark looks dull, gray and dead, the
weevil has been living well at the
expense Of the grower.
One very important thing to know
is how to identify your foes. Often
they resemble each other. Take
this weevil; at first sight you may
take 1t for a portly adult ant A
closer inspection reveals the type
Of activity followed for making a

instrument for making holes by
piercing some parts OF the plant.
An ant has chewing mouth parts.
So by this We know that the weevil
is using the plant as a safety vault
for her eggs and offspring as we'll
as her food supply.
Under a lens we get an idea of
the beauty Of this insect, though
this does not alter our opinion, in
the least, Of the determined, under
handed, secretive creature. Though

she is very colorful. Her dark blue

Don Luis, and he seemed to get a
grip on his anger Don Luis. 1 am

reconsider. I feel that you have

Senor Meade. I shall return so we
may talk more calmly"
He bowed stif1y and left the We
randa. They watched him walk,
more nearly march, toward the
poems quarters. where he had left
his horse. He mounted and rode out
Of the grounds.
Don Luis gave . weary sigh. 'Un-
pleasant" he said. And q very un-
pleasant man. John, will you come
to my study? I wish to discuss this
matter with you"
John nodded and walked into the
house with him. Shane flung away
his cigarette and rose. He touched
Diane on the arm and walked down
into the patio. Diane rose and fol-
lowed slowly. They met in the
shadows. Shane gripped her arm.
Low-voiced, he said, Now we've
got B-uckmann to tight! He's try
ing to throw . wrench into our
plans"
"Our plans, Shane?"
"Yes Relax a little. Thaw out
and get friendly, as q grandchild
should. And then encourage him not
to make a deal with Bruckmann but

Il may tell Don Luis. Or I may

You may not? why?"
His face was in shadow but she
could see his frown. Don Luis is my
friend. I don't know if I'd be do
ing him a favor by telling him that
yOu-
That I am fraud?"
He smiled, and said, Something
like that. I didn't want to put it so
crudely. But seriously, Don Luis is
keen about having his granddaugh-
ter here. 1 don't want to see him
unhappy. After all, he is an old
man. Your presence here has made
him real happy"
so, then, if you let my imposture
bring him happiness?"
I'm merely going to keep my eye
on you. And on Shane Murdock.
I'm going to figure out your game,
and then I'm going to warn you
off"
And if there is no gamer" Diane
said.
He laughed shortly. There is, all
right. Shane got you into this. He's
playing for big stakes. Shane, by

He bowed stifny as Don Luis
presented him to Shane Murdoch.
He said coldly, II have met Senor

Shane remained seated, a big,
loose, suddenly insulting figure.
Yeah. I've met you, Bruckmann. T"
Don Lois looked embarrassed.

her middle and legs. Her beak looks
very strong and efficient; later her
finished work proves that it Is.
During warm weather there may
be as many as six or even eight
generations. The favorite range Of
the potato weevil comedies with
that of the vegetable. This Is in
many parts Of the South, especially
in the States which border the
Gulf of Mexico.
The mother places her eggs in
the small pockets she punctures
in the plant. In about one week
these eggs hatch into small grubs,
legless white creatures with brown
heads. They feast upon the vines
or the potatoes, and within two or
three weeks are ready to transform
into the pupa stage or resting period.
You can distinguish 1t from its
more youthful stage because Of its
partly developed snout, legs and
wings, which lie folded against the
body. This mummy-like creature
is very serious looking. From this
stage, eight days later. will come
the adult weevil.
To prevent this creature from
reaping your harvest, you must
plant a crop the following year that
has no appeal at all to the weevil.
Or you must plough the field deep,
exposing the winter sleepers left
in the unharvested crop or debris.
If you have hogs on the place, turn
them into the field They are most
efficient diggers for the sweet po-
tatoes and vines. The weevils add
flavor to their food, or at least do
not deter the swine from consuming
all the vegetables they can find
Otherwise. fumigate the place where
the potatoes are stored, destroy all
weevily vines and purchase State
certified plants when you are ready
to put them in the ground next
spring.

If you are not fond Of sweet pota-
toes or you do not grow them for
profit, the sweet potato weevil does
not directly affect your outlook on
life, though the toll taken each
year by the insect hordes is felt
by every citizen, whether he knows
it or not. Destruction of property
by any means has its effect on our
pocketbooks and the sooner we re-
alize this fact the better.
Insects ale small and individual
ly they do little damage. They
multiply so fast that their numbers
soon go into millions. Then we see
the result of mass attack. The sweet
potato weevil Is an insidious foe. Its
presence is unknown until 1t has
done its worst. 1t is found at the

Why Good Grooming requires keeping
DARK ARCS DRY e

II you still are tolerating perspiration
under the arms, just listen to facts
about hygiene in these dark arcs that
any doctor can give you:
It's uncleanly! That repellant under.
arm odor signals decay! That perspir.
alton which damages gowns is de-
composed!
Because the dark arcs are closed to
purifying air and light, perspirarion
decays before it evaporates.
Precipitation, carrying cast off body
wastes, pours out on the skin, ming.
ling with dead skin scales. and micro.
organisms. Decay begins. Acids form.
Fungus may grow and bacteria mul.
siply. Rancid odors appear.
It's shocking" say lovely women
Of today!
They prevent it, by using Arid to
STely check persPiration. Arid keeps
underarms dry, odorless, l to days.
No perspiration, no decay, no odor.
Arid, which safely checks perspir.
alton, is pure, white, greaseless
cream. Harmless to skin and fab
ries. Use it any time, after shaving,

his cultural voice took all charm
from the word.
The man ignored her instantly.
He turned to Don Luis and said,
I'VE discussed a certain matter of
business two weeks ago, Don Luis.
I wish to open the matter again to-
night"
L am sorry, senior. but the mat
ter cannot be discussed. I have
closed my mind to it,
Il am prepared to double my
offer"
Really, senior. you offered far
more than the land is worth in the
beginning"
The land is worthless to you,
but not to me-"
II understand that" Don Luis
said patiently. But I do not care
to sell. San Rafael Valley has be-
longed to my family for two CEN
turies. 1t shall remain my prop
erty."
Your family" Bruckmann said
coldly, never cultivated it. The
valley lies covered with jungle. It
Is a shame, Don Luis, that when a
large part Of the world population
is near starvation such things are
permitted"
Permitted, senor?'
Exactly"
An Unpleasant Scene.
Don Luis looked shocked and at
a loss for words. Bruckmann was
angry. The two men faced one an
other for moment of heavy silence.
Diane, watching, hated Bruckmann.
He seemed british, bullying lout.
