Cullowhee, Aug. 2!).? TV Board of Trusie.s oi' \\*(st;m Carolina Teach j :t.s (oilege has authorized President <1. T. Hunter to aeei-pt d tiling' t^2 wonting college s;\a.sft)ii the personal n.'-' of as many a; 20 p?r cent of the students instead of direet ca?h ! payment as u means of taking cai*c of the new tuition charges of $24.00 that wi'l he mavle bv the institut on. (he makiug of the tuition charge, which will amonnt to .*8.00 per <|uar tcr, was tirade mandatory by the ac tion of the last North Carolina Gen eral Assembly. This arrangement to take care of tuition is a part of the rather wide spi\ad progiaui of financial aid to students that is being adopted with 'he beginning of the 1933-34 session by the Cullowliee institution. Presi dent Hunter announces that far more than a hundred students arc expect ed to be ?iven fiancncial aid of some kind during the coming session. Approximately GO students will be given self-hc-lp positions on the campus, fn -this group will he both young mci and young women. Among lli:' typ:s of work that will be done are: grading papers for instructors, acting as assistants to instructors, wailing on tables in dining room, washing dishes, woikiii? an colleg.* farm, caring for grounds, acting as I brary assistants, and doing several other types of work. Many applica tions for .jobs have already been made and several of them have lnvn assigned. It is planned to aid a|*proxin ate'y J0 students with the college loan funds. In the matter of both the loan funds and self-help jiositions it is the decision of the college admtnis ts at ion to give financial a'd in small er amounts but to a larger number of- students. The decision of the college t oju' eept from 20 por cent of the student body personal notes in the place of immediate cash payment as a means of taking rare of tuition charges will (r've financial aid to a consid erable number. Western Carolina Teachers College, which is a standard four-year college and grants tin1 bachelor of science degree, will o]>en its new term September 19. LOANS NOW BEING MADE f . * ' ? > i Columbia, S. C. ? To eliminate l?s( mot ion as much as possible and lo [?xpcdite final eonideratiou of appli cations, one application may be exe cuted by tho applicant or applicants requesting either a Federal Land Hank loan or a Land Bank Commis sioner's loan, or both. This announce ment was made today, by Frank II. Daniel, President of the Federal Land Hank of Columbia. After appraisal is made of the security offered, it will be determined: (1) if a Land Hank loan may bo granted, (2) if a Land Bank loan and a Land Bank Commissioner's loan may be granted. (?'{) if a Commissioner's loan only may be granted. The Land Bank appraisal fee of $10 must accompany each application together with a p'at of the property offered as security for the loan. If it is possible for the bank to make a loan, the borrower will be advised of the amount and at the same time the national farm loan association in the territory where the farm is lo cated will be appraised of the fact. The association will be requested to expedite consideration of the applica tion as the loan will have to be ap proved bv it before the bank will make the loan. Thus, applicants s< eking loans from
provided by the Land Bank Com missioner, the application and all supporting information, including the appraisal report, will receive the prompt attention, of the Agent of the Land Banlk Commissioner.

The move ment is spr.- a-.lin^ lhio;:gl:o:it the country, ami it is a groat fight, a i battle of the American people against depression and despondency, a fight to give every man a ehniiee for a de cent living. All patriotic citizens should back the movement in every way possible; and the easiest way for the consumer to increase the general prosperity of business and laborer is to trade with the people who arc displaying the Blue Eagle, and abid ing by the codes adopted for the va rious lines of endeavor. It will take us a!', emp'oyer, employe, and buyer to make a go of this most noble ex periment in bettering the general conditions of the people of America. The government is again trying to extradite Sam Insult from (Jreece and put hin' trial for his connection with the collapse of the vast power empire, which shook the financial foundations of the middle west and East. Texas botame the 25th State to vote repeal of the 18th Amendment, joining the repeal parade, on Satur day, last bv a majority of 100,000. This wasn't such a big majoiity for Texas, and drvs express gratification at the result. Eleven more States are accessary to effect repeal. The Amendment will, in all probability bo repealed. If North Carolina should give a latere majority for repeal, the next step would be to re|K*al the dry laws of the State. In fact wet load ers are already asserting that if this State goes wet by a large majority, fl^^jUltJjetition call a special session of fne TTenoraT Assembly to change the State pro hibition laws. On the other hand, if North Carolina irocs dry, or if the repeal majority is small, the chances are that our State dry laws will re main as they are. A Texas mule had been plowing eotton for so many yea is, being care ful not to trample the plants, that his master was unable, after a days hard work, to induce the animal to pull the plow that was to plow under the cotton, in conformity to the agri cultural recovery program. It is hard to change the habits of a lifetime, overt in a mule. ;; Raymond Moley, intimate adviser of President Roosevelt, lias resigned as a member of the "brain trust" to accept the editorial chair of a nexv we.'klv paper. Most weekly editois, while they lore their work, would be willing: to accept most any kind of a job these days, for financial reasons; but Mr. Moley 's paper will have the backing of Vincent Asfor, which, of course makes a difference. He will probably be able to draw a salary, and a good one. Any observer of the trend of the times will note that one thing1 that is holding up the march of recovery, under the Blue Eagle, is the fact that credit is still frozen. There is hits of money; but legitimate business can 'I ''ret it, especially the small business man. Kase up credit, and then watch the wheels turn more rapidly. DAVID FRANKLIN OF CANTON PASSES , AT FAIR VIEW David Franklin, (55, died Tuesday I irerning, at the home of his daughV-r, Mrs. .T. B. Wright, at Fairview, fol lowing a six months' ilhiess.

Brown, Can ton; and Miss Carrie Franklin, and Rev. Thad F. Deitz, veteran Bap tist minister of Western North Caio lina, was nominated by the dry* ns their candidate for delegate to the Constitutional convention, in Decem ber, in case the people of North Car olina vote on November 7 to call the foimiition on the repeal of the 18th Amendment. The convention of the drys was held in the court house in Sylva on Saturday afternoon at 2 j'elock. John R. Jones was named as coun ty chairman, I)r. W. P. McGuire, vice chairman, Mn. D. G. Brvson, chair j man for women, and Prof. Robert L. Madison as secretary of the county executive committee of the united dry forces ot' Jackson county. Rev. J. G. Mm iav was appointed chairman of the young pi oph Vs. work. The dry forces are planning to or ganize every voting precinct in the county and to wage a campaign from now until the polls close on Novem ber 7. The convention expressed the opin ion that the criming campaign is nob a political one, and selected the of ficers from both political parties, Mr. E. P. Stilhvell, for the nominating 'committee statins' that the committee line! boon cnroful (o soo that both political parties were given represcn lation in ihe ofliees. Mr. Deitz, Mr. Jones, and Prof*. .Madison are demo crats, while Dr. McGuire, Mrs. Bry son are Republic:! ns. There will be no absentee ballot* cast in the election, under the act calling it. There will be no markers. The registrars who held the election in the several precincts last fall will again serve; but two judges, a known dry and si known wet, will be ap appointcd for each precinct in the county, by the county board of elec tions, which is composed of Aaron Hooper, chairman, Hugh Montcith, and Dan K. Moore. ESTIMATE TIMBER STANDS BEFORE SELLING TBEES Sflli.iijr timlxM- stands by guess hns boon disastrous to many a landowner in North Carolina. U1 know of one farmer in Caswell Comity who so|?l $10,000 worth of timber for $1,5(10 and another man in Randolph County who sold $8,000 worth tor $2,000," says R. W. Grae ber, extension forester at State Col lege. ''These two eases may appear to lie exaggerated but they arc true. Kven worse cases have been reported. The trouble is that these men did not know the true stand on their woodlands and sold by guess." Mr. Graeber has been trying to offset sueli losses to farmers by hold ing a nun her of timber estimating demonstrations in various parts of the State. Such meetings were recent ly held in Vance, Yadkin and Wilkes counties. Here the men attending the meetings w#re given log rules and asked to measure trees and to figure the stand of timber on a given area. There are several of these log rules but the two -principal ones used in North Carolina are the Doyle and Scribner. Sometimes the use of these rules will not give accurate results but it is better than guess work. Owners of timber land can avoid heavy losses in selling their standing trees if I hey will use the "tree scale" stick, mcasuiiug the diameters a;id luights of trees of salable size and then leading the volume of the trees in board feet of lumber. The sticks are simple to understand and are sold in sets at a small price, Graeber says. Those who are doubtful about the amount of timber in a given area and are notable to measure it, should consult with their county farm agent before selling the timber by guess, he says.
