TOLEDO LAWYER VISITS here TO
Get AID IN ExTRADITloN Case

Atty. lClarence lG. Smith of
Toledo, Ohio was a visitor with
Atty. and Mrs. William Henry
Huff the evening of July 8, and
their dinner guest at Morris Nat
Shop.
Atty. Smith is representing
Curtis w. Hopkins Jr., now in
Jail at Toledo who is an alleged
Fugitive from jackson, MissEs-
sippi.
The case Of Curtis w. Hop
kins Jr. has aiken on a nation
wide interest by reason of the
extraordinary facts and circum-
stances surrounding it. Hopkins,
"a veteran of World War II, id
ichanged with the raping. of a
white woman near Jackson. The
facts surrounding this so-called
raDe are alleged to be as follows:
A white woman asked Hop
kins to drive her into the city
because she was having car
trouhle On he road. and that
Hopkins obliged her, but sat in
the back Of the car, while he
took the drivers seat, and that as
the car rolled on, she climbed
over into the front seat with Hop
kins saying that she had always
wanted Q have something to do
with a Negro, and this was her
chance. It appears that Hopkins
resisted at first and told her what
the consequences would be to
him, but that she insisted, to
such and extent that Hopkins
OBLIGED her. and that further up
the road, she requested him to
drive off into a side road, and
that he did, and while IN the
re road, another car drove UP,
and as soon as She saw white
men in he car, she yelled, Rape"
as is usually the case, where
upon, Hopkins, being unable to
move the car properly and
quickly, ran away on foot and
made his way to Toledo. Ohio.
Previously, Hopkins is, alleged
to ave knocked out the eye and
manned a Negro who
lived across the street from him,
and who was alleged to have con-
sorted with his (1opkins) wife

Bangs Disease
Fought In State

"Brucellosis Must Go" is the
theme of the new, stepped-up
Bangs disease eradication cam
paign.
State authorities say that we
are hampered in eliminating the
disease that infects cows, hogs,
goats and humans. DR.. H. G..
Geyer, state veterinarian, is con-
sidering a new plan that will
spread the present appropriation
five times farther than it now
goes.
This new plan involves the use
of the Ring test on milk as it
comes to the dairy. The Ring test
eliminates the need for blood
testing every animal. 1t would be
done four times yearly at each
dairy.
The plan is helpful to the farm.
er. If infected milk is located by
the Ring test then cows on the in.
dividual farm will be bled to de.
termine the infected animal. DR.
Geyer's plan eliminates indemnity
payments, but calls for state sup,
ported calfhood vaccination by the
veterinary of your choice. }
At meeting of the Ohio Dairy,
mans Assn. DR., Geyer stated
that fifteen counties have beer
tested under the area plan. OF
tawa County is included in this
number. Twenty counties hav,
applied for the test but no funds
are available. Lack of personne
to draw blood is another drawback
Dairymen are asked to contac
the Dairy Service Unit directo
in your township and discuss TIL
matter with him. Opinions 70
or against the new plan will b
submitted to state officials.

Loans Available
For Farm Homes

Farmers who have repaired
their buildings, laid out their
drainage bitches, cleared their
fields of brush, and built needed
fences, have been getting their
spring work done in a hurry. AS
the year goes by, the increased
earnings from those farms will
put more money in local trade
channels, too, H. B. Swearingen,
County Supervisor for Farmers
Home Administration explained.
Loans for essential improve
mepts on under-developed family
size farms are made by the Far
mers Home Administration.
Mr.. Swearingen explained that
development loans are made to
improve farms large enough, but
not well-enough developed, to en-
able their owners to make a salts
factory living on them. Funds
are used for such purposes as bas-
ic soil treatments, to construct
or repair buildings, dig drainage
bitches, or make other major i'm
provements. The repayment per-
iod runs for 40 years, but borrow.
ers refnance their loans as soon
as they can do so at satisfactory
rates and terms. Both direct anC
insured loans-whether to buy OF
develop a farm-bear a percent
interest. Borrowers are encour,
aged to do as much of their i'm,
provement work as they can tc
reduce their expenses.
Mr.. ,Swearingen said that the
Farmers Home Administration
cooperates in this work with othe,
agencies in the community-in,
cluding the State College of Agri
culture with it's Extension Service
and Experiment Stations; the Sol
Conservation Service and the For.
est Service.
The Farmers Home Administra
ton also makes and insures loans
