DriscoD, Charlotte district OPA director, who explained that the na tionwide prohibition agatnsn wide spread acceptance of this type coupon has been revoked. . . - The R coupons are those Issued for purchase, of gasoline which is to be used for other than oneratlon of ve hicles on the highway.1 The; prohibi tion against service stations accepting this type coupon was placed In effect last April ;,: , ? , v The prohibition was placed in effect because investigations revealed that there was a huge quantity of gasoline being diverted to highway use by the R coupons which were being used Ule eallv. . - v i. J- v t ;; The prohibition was adopted so that only certain outlets were allowed w handle the R coupons, and after sev eral months trial, it became obvious that considerable discrimination was resulting against some retau. gasoline outlets. For this reason the R cou pons were again made legal at any service' station.-' v.iy-i-pv' :'? ' Another reason for the ' lifting of the orohibltion was the fact that since the Anrll ban aU R coupons have been aerlallv numbered which makes it possible to trace every one which is illegally used. By the use of the numbers, the OPA expects to be able to nrevent wldesoread diversion of gasoline by illegal use of the R tickets. cm t ovist 1S4....J t: ;i:iAr3TicE "Hardest I-i Htory," Acting Premier TeT's r's Feople. .. :"- The Fji!o-Finnlsh armistice was 1 in I -(' ypsterday and In a t to tie I .:u:;Xi JM t rrprnler Earon I 1 - t v "i i(s tfrms cs "Ue i ' 1 ! ;;ory." j lr t i von 1 n t ! 1 t l. r t a ! t Le r s taune- ..ti ty 'i t i f ' v 2. i Bridfie IIo!d t - i Fate Of Units British Battle Desperately To Y'::: ReKne Trapped AEied .r" Sky Troops.

In, order for farmers to obtain loans on their cotton, each bale must be tagged and sampled at the gin. Most of the gins in the county have agreed to sample-and tag any fanner's cotton upon request. . . . . " " -Fanners are urged to request the glnner to sample and tag each bale. The service of sampling the cotton, does not cost the farmer anything. Farmers who have their cotton sampled at the gin, will receive a card showing the grade, staple and loan value of the cotton. If the farmer wishes to place the cotton in the loan, he may then do so and will receive the loan as indicated on the card. . -- The cotton may be stored in an ap-' proved warehouse and the money ob tained the same day the cotton is stored, or the cotton may be stored on the farm and the money obtained as soon as the cotton, is inspected. All loans are made on the flet weight of the cotton. These loans are made by ' the Commodity Credit Corporation at the rate of t per cent per year. The basic rate in Union county is 214 cents per pound for 15-16 inch mid dling. Premium and discounts are in effect for cotton, grading and stapling Peter or les than 15-16 middling. -Producer etoring cotton on their " farms will be required to exercise nor mal care to prevent loss or damage to the cotton.
