Wilfong of the State Dept. of Agriculture completed a second blood test of the poultry flocks of the Wood Hatchery last Tuesday. When the third blood test is made in February. The Wood Hatchery will be State accredited and will use only the eggs from pure bred blood tested flocks. Mr. Wilfong states that blood test ing is the only way to discover and control disease in poultry. This method, he declares, assures poultry men of gctiing healthy chicks that are bred to lay and hatched to grow. A large proportion of the chicks obtained out of the state have been lost while less than 10 per cent of (those purchased from state accredit ed hatcheries have been lost. The Wood Hatchery will con centrate this year on Ferris White Leghorns, Rhode Islands Reds and Barred Plymouth Rocks. Experts thinks that these three breeds are the best suited lor Western North Carolina. Farmers should begin now to put the "Live-at-Home" program into operation. Start raising pure bred poultry and live stock and obtain the maximum for your labor, both in the quality of your productss and sell ing price. M&llonee Appointed Victory Manager For Democrats J. D.

TWO BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE NATION'S RELIEF Washington, Jan. 16. ? Financial j relict for agriculture* commerce and j industry in ihe sum total of two bil- , lion? of dollars is the purpose of the newly enacted Reconstruction Fir>- , ance Corporation Act, which forms the hub of President Hoover's twel- ? ve-spoke program for the rehabili- j tation of the nation, according to a I statement issued this week by the j Republican national committee. Reduced to simple terms, the >tate- , ment continues, the act is designed n primarily to bolster the fast falter- . ing banking structure by aiding botr. , solvent and insolvent banks; to pre vent a collapse of the rail transpor- j tation systems of the country which i find themselves unable to carry on necessary refinancing because of un- , favorable security market conditions, and to aid Intermediate Credit Banks, Agricultural Credit Corporations, building and loan associations and in suranc companies. With failure last year of 2,290 banks with doposits ol $1,759,000, , 000 it is apparent that swift and ef- , fective action must be taken if re lief is to be af lorded in time to pre vent a most serious and far reach- j ing development. The outstanding springs from the loss of confidence and the general state of fear that has been created by these widespread bank failures. Meantime, banks that are ol the Federal Reserve System find them selves without suc*h negotiable IV per as can be offered for rediscount at the Federal Reserve Banks and fo are unable to find the necessary as- j sistance from thi- Federal system. As ( a consequence of these development . deposits in large amounts have been tied up in banks now solvent; con- . lidence hus been seriously shaken and there bus been a break-down of local credit facilitie with widespread de creases in values and general demor slization of business. In this situation there must be an improvement in the banking system before there can be any expectation i 01 a return to normal conditions in the nation's economic life- With this end in view thet Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act will pro vide credit facilities that will afford relict to many banks that are worthy ot credit and are unable at this time to command necessary accom modations. . In addition to the relief which will be given to these institutions, pro vision is made for loans upon the assets of any bank that are closed, insolvent or in process of liquidation to aiu in the reorganization or liq uidation of such banks. It is the nope that this provision will afford a large measure of relief to communities that have been deprived of normal banking accommodations and so aid such communities in attaining econ omic recovery. The depression has hit the roads hard, causing tremendous de creases in both their freight and pas senger traffic income. In addition, the condition of the financial mar ket afiects their ability to refmanec maturities that are coming due and which are in some instances most pressing. The total amount of ma turities which fall due this year is $110,782,506. ".Vith refinancing of tnese obli gations n.ade impossible under pres ent market conditions the whole transporation system is threatened with disaster if relief is not afforded. The reconstruction Finance Corpor ation is authorized to make loans to such carriers as are unable to obtain funds upon reasonable terms through banking shannels or from the gen eral public. . , , . . With this vast aid to banking in stitution, agricultural credit organ izations and to the railroads, it is the confident belief that the credit sit uation will be eased all along the v.-ith adequate facilities pdovided for the lar^e refinancing agriculture, industrv. And it is the purpose to . grt the' new corporation functioning! without delay. An initial capital oi $500,000,000 will be furnished by I the Treasury so that immedmtc pressing loans may be made. In ad dit V the corporation would j one billion, five hundred million dol fare of its own securities to be J ed in making additional lonas in the next year or tw-Q. . The great necessity a. this ..me is the restoration of credit and .con fidence. It is the hope and the belief alike of public officials and the hi .? is . f the great agr'culuiral. in d it rial and labor organisations that , x'u.n measure will accomplish this re result. sed embalmer, and beside" a foil line of ljrnUore and houso furnishings, l.e wil1 v-;\rry a complete lin2 of fun eral auprlies and equipment for fun eral work. ,?*r i.tigrins will move his fa.nily h?ru .his week. TRUELOVETOBE GIVEN HEARING ON SATURDAY Charged With Shooting D. McDon ald On December 24, About 20 Mile* From Murphy A preliminary hearing for Floyd Tiuelovc, IN, charged with shooting D. McDonald, 23, in the leg on the night of December 24, in front of Kred Robeson's house near Reid's Chapel, at Vests, about 20 miles from Murphy, will be held before Justice of the Peace T. X. Bates on Saturday. Following the shooting, Truelove surrendered to Deputy Sheriff Har rison McDonald, uncle of the man who was shot, and is :?aid to have told him that he shot McDonald when he insisted on coming into the hous. of Fred Roberson where True love makes his home. D. McDonald in company with Jake and Bass Taylor, according to True love's statement, stopped in front of Roberson's store about 10 o'clock, after he had retired, and demanded admittance. When the dog barked, Truelove went out to quit him, and told the men they could not come in. McDonald and Jake Taylor left the road and came toward the house, cursing, and said ii' he did not let them in, they would shoot in, he said. Alter he had told them the third time they would not come in and they did not leave, he went into the house, got his shot gun and fked, the load striking McDonald in tin left knee, it is alleged. McDonald was brought to .Mur phy where his wound was dressed by Di. J. N. Hill, who advised that he be taken to the Angel Brothers hos pital in Franklin. His leg was am putated above the knee. He return ed to his home a few days ago. Whitaker Brothers To Open Store In Davidson's Stand H. M. and Z. L.

Parent-Teachers Ass'n To Sell Lunches (The following announcement ap peared in last week's issue of the Scout, but the Committee feels that the readers must have over looked it as only two parties have been kind enough to offer donations.

The asociation does not expect to make any profit but the sum of five cents is being charged for soup and sandwiches to help defray expenses. Individuals and merchants are be ing asked for donations as a help to wards these expenses, and, as the committee cannot possibly see every one, they will appreciate it if those having *ggs, milk, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, etc., will call the following: Mrs. H. G. Elkins, telephone 134; Mrs. Hadley Dickey, telephone 66; Mrs. John Brittam. The menu follows: Monday ? Vegetable soup, oc; pine apple sar.dv u,1s, 5c. Tuesday ? v. r?c; banana sand wiches, 5c.
