When the announcement went out
Monday that the treasury will
etire $675/000,000 in bonds with a
of the gold profit, and so save
13,500,000 in interest payment it
almost univenially hailed as a
ever financing stroke which would
0t injure any interests of the coun
But young Robert Taft, son of the
ner President and Chief Justice,
epped into the spotlight by filing
suit to collect $1.07 interest due
a $50 Liberty Loan bond which
been called for redemption. Mr.
t contended that since the Su
eme Court has ruled that abroga
of the gold clause in Govem
nent Bonds was an illegal breach
contract, the Treasury forfeited
its privilege of calling such bond3
for retirement prior to their ma
[turity date.
Should his contention be sustained,
the Treasury would be forced to
suspend the huge refunding opera
tions in which it is now engaged or
making payment for bonds called for
redemption at the rate of $1.69 on
each $1.00.
Mr. Taft has keen eyes, a lofty
dome, a wide and determined mouth.
He is doubtless capable of having
stepped forth to issue this challege
all on his own patriotic urge, but it
is more than (probable that he mov
ed to the front as the pawn in the
group determined to put the country
back on the gold standard. It is
noted that a White House conference
was being held at the same time
this young "David” was adjusting
the sling preparatory to flinging his
hud little rock at the Inflation
Giant.
Attorney General Homer S. Cum
mings, Assistant Solicitor General
Angus D. MacLean, Secretary of the
Treasury Henry iMorgenthau, Jr.,
under-secretary of the treasury
Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, Herman
Oliphant general counsel of the Trea
sury, and Stanley Reed, chief R. F.
C. counsel were reported as present
at the conference. These are the of
ficials’ who had in hand formulating
or defending in court the govern
ment gold program, so they iwere
probably not taken unawares by Ur.
Taft's action.
There may be those who will ac
claim this youthful champion, son
of a great man whose record is safe
Senator Borah during the past week,
“You and your crowd led us into this
national situation. Don’t expect the
people of the United States who have
the ability to think to believe you
can or will lead them out—” or
words to that effect And there will
be sympathy with exasperated Demo
crats who say why not lay off ob
structing any approximately intel
ligent effort to nolve the problem of
revitalization of “the patient”
Even Mr. Dawes became cheer
leader for reviving business this
week, so there most be truth in the
published figures showing a gain in
practically every branch of indus
try.

CHILD BITTEN BY DOG
MONDAY AFTERNOON
On Monday afternoon the small
son of Wade Poole was bitten by a
black and white fox terrier. Mr.
Poole and his son were in the back
yard at their home on Stowe street
when the dog came up. Without
a warning he sprang upon the child
and bit him upon the' leg. The ex
tent of the injury is unknown, though
it is thought to be not very serious.
The dog was killed and his head sent
to Raleigh for a rabies test.
Donations Increase
For Outside Poor;

Scouts Assisted
Director Lloyd Urges Towns
And Communities In Coun
ty To Help In Work.
From R. T. Lloyd, superintendent
of donations for his work among the
outside poor of the county. In
submitting the report Mr. Lloyd ex
plains that it is not complete be
cause there is no record of those who
contributed through the Boy Scouts
during the week that organization
assisted collecting clothes and pro
visions. He does express apprecia
tion for every article donated, how
ever, and states that most of the
articles have already been put into
use.
As has been explained several
times, the change in plans of the
Federal relief work, effective the
first of January, came with too little
warning to include the relief load
in the county budget. There were,
therefore, seventy-five families re
placed on the county’s expense with
no provision for the expense. Mr.
Lloyd was ordered by the county
commissioners to lay his plight be
fore the citizens of Randolph county
and ask for their aid until adequate
provision could be made for the
work. Mr. Lloyd points out that
while the work is county-wide, the
donations have come chiefly from the
town of Asheboro and he asks that
other towns and communities come
to the rescue, if it is possible for
them to do so.
Amount previously reported:
Cash, $55.00; Asheboro Rotary

fHio Courier,
Ashftbdro, N. C.
Thfe money I save probably should
be reason enough for my trading
with Coffin and Scarbdro, but there
are other things I like equally as
well.
Their store is always clean and
inviting. Their merchandise is of a
dependable quality arranged and dis
played in an attractive manner.
The clerks are ever cheerful and
courteous, and never try to talk me
into buying something I do not want,
but are always ready to render any
assistance or helpful suggestions I
might heed.

tion Credit Association. Any pro
perty owner is eligible for a
modernization credit loan, pro
vided he owns his property (even
with incumbrances), his income
is five times the amount of his
annual payment of notes and
his credit is in good standing.
In the case of farmers, pay
ments are made annually or
semi-annually. Under the Mod
ernization credit loan one may
-borrow from $100.00 to $2,
000.00 for a period of one to
five years at the rate of $5.00
per $100.00 per year.
-Such loans are called govern
ment insured loans because the
United States Government insures
financial institutions or any ap
proved lending agency 20 per
cent against loss of the aggre
gate amount of loans -made
during the five year period.
The highest loss ever sustained
by financial institutions making
similar loans has been 3 per
cent. The margain of guarantee
made by the United States Gov
ernment, therefore, makes this
a 100 per cent guarantee against
loss.
