and custody Of the children.
The most recent dispute
stemmed from Mr.. Florance's
failure to make mortgage pay
ments on Mrs. McKinley's home
at 405 Shady lane, Falls Church.
Judge Hosmer, in his decision,
ordered him to pay $1.035 plus
interest.
Charges He Annoyed Her.
Mrs. Mckinley charged that
Mr.. Florance in recent months
had annoyed her in the evenings
by driving around her nome in
Fairfax County near Falls
Church. His home is at 300
North Glebe road.
Judge Hosmer held that Mr..
Florances conduct as disclosed
by the evidence does not con-
stitute such molesting of the
complainant as would justify the
court in Furnishing him for
contempt"
A private detective, Lloyd M.
Buckwalter Of the Arlington De-
tective Agency. testified he was

At the request of Oren r..

sheriff or any other law enforce

James Ferguson Florance and
Robert Henry Florance, if they
be found"
Police said today they do not
know where Mrs. Mckinley and
the children are.
At the hearing before Judge
Hosmer. it was testified that
Mrs. McKinley's husband Ira,
whom she married after her
divorce from Mr.. Florance, is
obtaining a divorce.

White Sox and the Chicago Cubs
each had another big catch in the
contract bag today. But Milwaukee
|slugger Eddie Mathews joined the
increasing group Of dissatisfied
major leaguers.
Lefty Billy Pierce, who along
with Virgil Trucks kept the Chisox
lin the American League pennant
running last season, came to terms
for 1854 and became one of the
highest paid pitchers in the clubs
history" according to General
Manager Frank Lane.
Pierce won 10 games and
dropped IL last year, finished Sec
|ond in earned runs with a 2.72
mark and had stretch of 20 Is
|scoreless innings. Trucks already
lis in the White Sox fold.
Hank Sauer, the National
Leagues Most Valuable Player in
|1952,, signed a Cubs contract and
promised to flight with all I'VE
got" to return to his form Of two
seasons ago. He slumped to 10
home runs after hitting 81 the pre-.
vious year. Ralph Kiner, the Cubs
other home run threat. signed last
week.
Mathews, the National Leagues
home run king last year, hasn't
talked turkey with John Quinn,
Braves general manager, since
last fall but he said he may hold
out"
"After last season the club tried
to get me to sign" he explained.
"But wasn't satisfied with what
they offered me. / doubt If wei
get together very fast"
Besides Sauer, the Cubs also
signed outfielder Hal Jeffcoat and
rookie infielder Don Robertson.
The Philadelphia Athletics signed
five players, including Outfielder
Ed McGhee and pitcher Bob Cain,
recently acquired from Baltimore.

GRAIN LOAN REQUIREMENTS CLARIFIED

Wheat producers desiring govern
ment price support loans must secure
them either in their own name or,
in cases where wheat owned by diff
ferent producers is commingled, as a
party to joint loan, Leo S. Kolstad,
State Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation administrative officer,
explained this week.
There have been instances, he said,
where producers have attempted to
secure loans on wheat owned by other
producers or on wheat they have
purchased rather than produced. Mis-
understanding of regulations, includ-
ing the definition of wheat producer,
probably accounts for much of this,
he added.
Price support loans may be made
only to producers of wheat who have
complied with their farm wheat acre
age allotments for 1854 Eligible pro-
ducers include owner-operators, land
lords, tenants and sharecroppers. To
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1954-08-20

be eligible for loan wheat must be-
long to the producer seeking the loan
and must always have belonged to
him or former producer whom he
succeeded before the wheat was har-
vested, Kolstad stated.
In cases where eligible producers
have stored wheat jointly, joint loan
must be secured covering all wheat
in the bin. Under the joint loan all
interested producers must sign the
loan documents and all borrowers are
held responsible for the full amount
of the loan. A loan may not be made
to producer covering part of the
wheat in bin, where the remaining
wheat is owned by another producer.
Kolstad said these same restrictions
eligibility of producers and
grain offered for loan apply to other
commodities on which loans and pur-
chase agreements are available. These
in addition to wheat, barley,
oats, rye, flaxseed and dry beans.

Co-ops Keep Gasoline Prices
Low for Both City and Farm

OMAHA.-(CNS)-Co-op compe-
tition has kept gasoline prices low,
not only for farm people but for city
folks, too, the NEBRASKA COOP
orator says in its August issue.
National Industrial Conference
Board shows all prices rising 54.8go
since 1923, while gasoline has gone
up only $3.50 in the 81 years, the
paper notes. The modern product has
a higher octane count and burns with
greater power, too
oil industry spokesman generally
attribute the comparative cheapness
of gasoline to technical Improvement
and to competition. They don't say,
however, that the competition is fur
nished by co-ops.
IF co-ops hadn't come in, begin
ming in the early POS, oil product
prices would have risen in proportion
to other prices.
Farmers co-ops held the umbrella
over city users. With everybody
gasoline prices in a city
couldn't run much out of line with
prices in nearby country areas"
