RAILROADS RETURN TO PROS PERITY WILL BOOST OTHER CHANNELS OF BUSINESS, IT IS BELIEVED; MAY MEAN MORE EMPLOYMENT IN ROWAN COUNTY. The Southern Railway, along with the other railroads of the nation, has been requested by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, to further as sist in stimulating business by re suming full maintenance and repair work, according toi information reaching local officials. The Southern shops, located in this county, during the past few weeks have been adding men frcm time to time. Some of the men added are those who have been layed off local ly for some months while others have been brought here from other railroad centers. This same request, it is understood, has been made of all the lead ng railroads of the country. President Hoover made mainten ance and repair work . on i ailroads one of nine points in his recent pro gram for enlivening business. The president took the attitude that the purchase of material! and the money paid to the workmen would go a long way toward causing busi ness to pick up. Nothing definite has been done up to the present. The railroads can not borrow money from any source without the consent of the Inter state Commerce commission. The commissioners present today form the division that "investigates and grants loans. The Pennsylvania railroad recent ly obtained a loan of $27,500,000 from the corporation to continue the work of electrifying its line! between Washington and New York. The Baltimore and Ohio has received $32,500,000 in loans to pay maturing obligations and $2,500,000 for its subsidiary, the Alton. Conferences between directors of the R. F. C. are being held weekly in Washington ;n the hope of further restoring normalcy in this country. The railroad employment move is backed by the interstate commerce commilsion. 11 PRISIONERS FREED Paroles to 11 state prisoners were granted by Governor Max Gardner, including Jodie Whitley sent up from Pitt county in 1930 to serve 10 to 15 years for manslaughter. Back In The Ring Miriam A. "Ma hergusou ot Texas is back in the political ring again, leading all six opponents for the Democratic gubernatorial nomi nation. This is her third attempt since defeated for renomination in 1926; and again in 1928. Good Morning HER DILEMMA Agnes—Weren’t you embarrassed when young Doctor Jones asked you for your hand? Amy—Indeed’ I was. I didn’t know whether he wanted to take me or my pulse. THE SMILE He smiled a smile of cheer. ’Twas plain his heart was gay And happiness was his As now he went his way Among the gloomy throng That plodded up and down The dingy, gloomy street That crossed a gloomy town. No other smile was seen. Not one but scowled and frowned Or wore a mien of woe And made a mournful sound. Depression bent their backs; They had financial blues; Their thoughts were on the jobs Once had, or feared to lose. And still he smiled, this gent, Or so it seemed, at least, And people stopped to stare And give their eyes a feast. And why do you suppose He smiled in tines Uk rlicw? ■ He didn’t smile at all! His face was drawn to sneeze. WE’LL SELL HIM OURS Husband—I’ve brought you this beautiful String of pearls for your birthday, darling. Wife—But you knew I wanted a motor car. Husband—I know, dearest, but I’ve tried everywhere and can’t get an imi tation car. HUMOR From the Pearl Harbor Weekly "What were you and Alice talking about all evening?” "Oh, about the weather.” "What weather?” "Whether she would or whether she wouldn’t.” SO THAT WAS SETTLED Thus sang the lovelorn youth— "You’re just the girl for me!” Snapped she—"A headache’s all You’d ever be to me!” ITS A HARD LIFE "You look sore at the world today What’s the matter?” asked Smither.-. "Ah,’’ growled Withers- "I had a blowout going home last night and then' got blown up for being late after I got there!” A FAMILY MAN To be a goat I wouldn’t care a dam— And yet, alack, A goat’s what I am.—B. B. THIS MAY INTEREST SOME BODY A scientist says carrots writhe in pain when they are cut up! So do a lotta husbands when they are forced to eat the sufferin’ things. JUSTICE FOR HUBBIES Heck! We don’t believe even the hardest-hearted wife would want to see a husband get all she thinks her hub has coming to him. PASSING OBSERVATION A lot of people think it can’t be a good time unless it boosts the sale of aspirin tablets next day. ADD DEFINITIONS A pessimist often is the optimist who thought he’d save money by buying a used car. ENOUGH SAID Just to show how unpopular 1931 was we haven’t heard of a single person! since January 1 forgetting to write it 1932!

Seeking To Boost Trade With Loans UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF MON EY AVAILABLE FOR LOANS TO M£ET PRESENT BUSINESS NEEDS; INDIVIDUALS MAY BORROW FROM RESERVE BANKS IF CREDIT RATING O. K. Emergency Move LOANS TO BeIZaDE AT INTER EST RATES PRESCRIBED TiY FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS; EXPECT BIG SPURT IN BUSI NESS AFTER PUTTING BIL LIONS OF DOLLARS INTO CIRCULATION. • The Federal Reserve system has stepped into the industrial situation of the nation and acted to furnish money to revive industry, trade and agriculture. While the amount placed at the disposal of current business is unlimi ted the board made no estimate of how much it would be. Acting under an amendment to the Federal Reserve law signed by President Hoover on July 21, the duals, partnerships and corporations for an emergency period of six mon ths. The loans may be made upon paper eligible for rediscount by the Federal Reserve banks ufed to fin ance current business operations. The amendment to the Federal Re serve law provides that the banks may be authorized by the board to make the loans in "unusual and exigent cir mcustances,” by the affirmative vote of not fewer than five members of the board and for such periods as the board may determine. It alb re quires that before mak’ng such a loan the Federal Reserve bank shall obtain evidence that the individual, partnership or corporation was un able to secure adequate credit accom modations from other banking insti tutions. The action of the board in author izing the loans for the emergency period follows complaints that busi ness, industry and1 agriculture ha<d been unable to obtain-fund'd with which to carry on legitimate opera tions. Tlso pmproPnrv mnup will nPrtnif o / * individuals to borrow from Federal Reserve banks upon agricultural pa per or not more than nine months maturity and trade *,and industrial paper of three months. Borrowing upon speculative paper is barred. Commercial banks are not included in the corporations which can bor row. The board provided that the loans must be made at interest rates pre scribed by Federal Reserve bank ' and approved by the board; and that each application for a loan must be made to the Federal Reserve bank of that district and contain a statement of circumstances giving rise to the ap plication. It also specified that each applicant must satisfy the Federal Reserve bank of the eligibility of the security offered, give a statement of efort.' made to obtain credit from banks and state whether the applications for such credit accommodations were definitely refused and why, give a list of its banking relations and com plete credit data, agree to furnish ad ditional security if called upon to do so and submit to audits and ex aminations by representative* of the bank. The Federal Reserve banks are re quired to see that the financial stand ing of the applicant justifies the loan that the security offered is acceptable from a credit standpoint and eligible legally, that there is a reasonable need for the credit and that the security is adequate to protect the Federal Re serve bang from loss. .
