CREDIT MEET TO
AID FARMERS
To Explain Various Types of
Loans and Credit Available
at Countrywide Meeting
OFFICIALS TO SPEAK

Within the past few years the
federal government has instituted a
number of agricultural credit or
ganizations which are available to
those farmers who desire additional
funds for the purchasing of land,
refnancing farms, and the buying
of seed, feed, fertilizer as we'll as
livestock and farming equipment.
According to the large number of
inquiries being received at the
county extension Office, and at the
offices of these various agricultural
credit organizations, it seems that
many farmers are confused regard
ing the kind of loan for which they
should apply to most adequately fit
their needs. In view of this situa-
tion, therefore, a countrywide meet
ing will be held on Friday evening,
March Is, at 7.30 o'clock, in the
budget room in the state legislative
building in Dover. This meeting
has been arranged by Russell E.
Wilson, county agricultural agent,
and Miss Hazel H. Darrell, county
home demonstration agent, in CO.

vored an honorable compromise
with Britain over Indian demands
for independence.

dence Day
Mr.. Ganhi wrote in his weekly
newspaper issued Jam. 20, that Il Jan
llth speech by Lord LinlithgoW
seems to contain germs of a set

dependence.
The Viceroy said Britain was ready
for any practical suggestion FOR In
dian independence that had general
support.
Previously, Britain had announced
il could not consider any Indian in
dependence proposal until after tho
European Wur and until India had
settled It's internal problems. The
All-!ndiu Moslem League has eX-
pressed itself in opposition TO the
Congress Party demands for indie
pendence.

be weeks Of negotiations over the
independence question saying:

Copenhagen. jar. 23.-(AP>-
Finnish censorship. although -iol.
notably sever. offers difficulties. All
news. cablcd or tclephoncd must be
submitted 10 the censor. Most
troublesome of all is the hamperln9
of communications between cities.
Foreign correspondents in Hell

Dover said when they We're on the
street.
THAT isn't necessary" Cholly
began, but Romany gave her a
swift poke in the ribs, silencing
her.
Romany knew Dover had been
much taken with Cholly, and she
meant to do everything possible to
flare the spark into a flame. Dover
was driving his car also, and the
two couples parted at the pier.
There was no trouble with Brent
and his love making on the way
home, which was a relief to Rom
any. He was tenderly solicitous and
amazingly silent. They rode along
in the moonlight swiftly, meeting
Dover and Choi!y Il half hour later
in front of the apartment, where
they said goodnight with promises

Twill you please draw a dia-

OH Cholly turned impatiently
in her chair. whats the use of
going out ara enjoying all that lux
ury and stuff and getting used to
it. 1t would just spoil you for all
the things you can't have"
"a I'd what" Romany said impa-
tiently, makes you think you
can't have them? You could marry
Dover Hayworth as easily as fall
ing off a log if you made up your
mind. In two weeks he'd be mad
about you, if you handled him
right"
"R omeyw Cholly exploded.
You're crazy! What would MIL

like me? You know perfectly we'll
what happens when people marry
so far out of their class"
Romany said with fire:
do you mean to sit there and
tell me you have an inferiority
complex? That you think you're
not as good as Dover Hayworth?
Why, twenty years ago his father
was raising corn out in the corn
belt. He just had sense enough to
make it into syrup and get rich"
Cholly got up.

We'll, blow me DOWN. he said
wonderingiy. You certainly pound
out a powerful lot Of melody with
those little pinkies. You've got a
great future ahead of you, Cholly."
Cholly sighed:
"Oh, no. Nothing like that. Piano
players are nickel a carload,
aren't they, Brent ?"
Brent purSed his lips.
We'll, would have said so when
you sat down to the piano, Cholly.

NO doubt about that" Dover
agreed with him. "Teley.sion : &C.

I'm afraid So" Brent sighed.

When she realized what she had
done, she flushed. and Brent and
Dover laughed with relish.
a little later the foursoaie just
naturally drifted into singing fest,
although Dover's tenor, Brnnt's
baritone and Romany's contralto
would have drawn the gong in an
amateur broadcast. Cholly's So
prano was at least on key, and her
playing was a great help.
This" Dover decided as they
walked along the dock at twelve

Indeed yes" the announcer said
heartily. II can have large eve

MY BOY TO BE A FARMER

You may wonder why in these hard
times for agriculture we should wish
our children to become farmers or
farmers wives. May tell YOU?
/. The farmer and his family have
more and better 10 eat than have
most city people, and in times Of de-
preston they are more certain Of a
livelihood-if they have moi mort
gagged the farm. About six million
people went from the cities bac!; TO
farms during the years i921-34 seek
ing shelter and sustenance, and two
million Of these were still on farms
when the census was taken January
|, 1885.
2. The farmer has better health
than the city man and lives longer, -
four TO five years longer-according
10 a recent study made by the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company. Ii
the farming people had equal medical
facilities, the difference in duration
Of life would be still greater.
8. The farmer becomes a Wcalihier
man than the majority Of city men,
Judging from the per capita wealth
OF rural and urban states. This may
not be true in the South. 1t is true
in the North because of the millions
Of city people who have almost no
property at all except an auto
mobile and some secondhand fur
nituTe.
4. The farmer is more likely To
enjoy his work than are most city
people. Most city work is mon0s
Notwithstanding d machine in fac
tory. operating a typewriter, stand
ing behind 4 counter in retail store
hour after hour. The farm boy or girl
may dream Of Il professional career
in the city, or Of being successful
business man or woman, but il is GER
tain that relatively few young people
from the farms will realize this am
bition. Most OF the young men and
women who go TO the cities will con-
t;nUc to do the simple tasks Of city
life-if they find work at all.
5. The farmer is more likely 10 real
a family and promote the welfare Of
the Nation and the race. The family
is becoming smaller and weaker ir
the cities. Only tWo-thirds TO three
fourths enough children are now be-
ing born in our large cities to mair-
tain their population permanently
without acceSsiOnS from outside. The
conditions Of living and the philoso-
ply Of life in the cities tend toward
the extinction of urban families. The
raj philosophy of life, with its rec
c milton of the family as the lunda-
IL ntal economic as well as social in
81? ,:tton, tends toward survival. Il
there is one word that science teac1e:
