POLICY OF LENIENCY
OF LOANS IS ORDERED
Washington, Oct. 24.—The
office of Representative Pou un
derstands that federal agents
in the statu have been advised
by the loan bureau of the de
partment of agriculture to be
as lenient as the circumstances
will permit in the matter of the
crop production loans. This is
a matter that Mr. Pou has had
up with both the department
and the White House, and the
desire is. to make things better
for the tobacco producer, as
well as the cotton grower,
The plight in which the typi
cal small Iowa farmer now
finds himself as winter ap
proaches was brought out in a
letter received today by Morton
Bodfish, member of the federal
home loan bank board, from
Osage, under date of October
17.
The board, in giving out the
following text of the letter,, re
queued that the identity of the

“During the first nine months
of this year a larger proportion
thqn ever before of farmers
who obtained funds from the
federal land banks borrowed
for the purpose of refinancing
their short-term indebtedness
to other lenders, most of which
was costing the farmer a much
higher rate of interest,” says
the federal farm loan board.
“During this period 86 per cent
of the loans were used for re
financing whereas 77 per cent
of the Joans made by the banks,
prior to 1932 were used for this
purpose.
“Far from encouraging the
farmer to get into debt, the
facts show that the main activ
ity of the federal land banks
has been to enable the farmer
to apMhtiie on a reasonable
basis debts which he already
had. l^ost of the indtebtedness
refunded was on short term ba
sis for frequent renewals with
commissions and high interest
rates, costing the farmer in
from 8 to 10
annua. In this
has been enabled
such onerous loans
with federal land bank loan?
bearing an average interest
rate of slightly less than 5 1-2
per cent amortized over a long
period .of years.
“The federal land banks are
strictly limited by law as to the
purposes for which loans can
be made and the borrowers
state in their applications the
purposes for which the funds
are to be used. ‘To pay off ex
istihg mortgages* and ‘to pay
other debts’ have been the chief
uses to which the borrowed
money has been applied. Other
purposes for which loans have
been made include purchasing
land, equipment and livestock,
and providing buildings and im
provements.
“The federal land banks do
not maintain local representa
tives to solicit new loans. Ap
plications for loans are made
first to national farm loan as
sociations composed entirely of
farmer-borrowers of the feder
al land banks. Members des
ignated by each association as
a loan committee review the ap
plications received from their
neighbors, and if approved, the
loans are recommended to the
bank.”

our boys have the consolation
of being told by Mills Home

Minister Convicted of Poisoning
Wife; Gets Life Term In Pen
Muskogee, Okla., Oct, 25.—
Rev. S. -A. Berrier, 52-year-old
unfrocked Cumberland Presby
terian minister, late today was
convicted by a jury of the pois
on murder of his first wife, Mrs.
Fannie Berrie.
The verdict, which carried a
sentence of life imprisonment
momentarily did not break the
composure of the preacher, and
he appeared, calm when he was
returned to his cell. Sentence
will be passed next Monday.
His comely 19-year-ald sec
ond wife, the former Ida Bess
Bright, a Sunday school teach
er in his church, received the
jury decision with tears.
During the lengthy trial Mrs.
Berrie, named by the prosecu
tion as the motive for poison
ing, appeared by the side of
her husband and asseHed her
belief in his innocence, He is
the writer numerous lfymns.
The state alleged thef preach
er had been intimate with the
young woman several : months
before the death of hfis -first
wife, and substituted poison for
sedatives taken by the older
woman so he might be free to
marry the Sunday school teach
er. f
As the convicted pastor was
returned to jail his attorneys
indicated they would present a
motion for a new trial and if
this is denied an appeal will
probably be taken.
After being sentenced, Ber-.
rife will be taken to the state
penitentiary at McAlester,
where he will remain pending
outcome of a possible appeal.
Iliff Berrie, the pastor’s 26
year-old son and his wife,
Ruth, were in the courtroom
when the verdict was read.
Mrsi Fannie Berrie, in ill
health for months, collapsed
and died in convulsions last
March 21 after taking a cap
sule at a church service.
The minister married Ida
Bess May 17. She was exoner
ated by authorities, of any con
nection with the poisoning.
A grand jury returned a mur
der indictment after Mrs. Fan
nie Berrie’s body was exhumed
August 3 at the request of her
sister, Mrs. Clem Trotter, of
Sentinel, Okla. Mrs. Trotter
testified as to Berrie’s apparent
lack of grief at his wife’s death
and said his subsequent early
marriage has caused comment.
State’s chemist then reported
“poison sufficient to kill” was
found in the eviscera of the
dead woman.

therewith”; ^ *
Whereas, the members of our
Order, individually and collec

our public .free schookk'to the
their value;
Wjhereas, we believe that the
thought “Free Public Schools/’
should be, in deed and in truth,
all that phrase implies;
Whereas, we arbor the tre
mendous cost to the average
school patron in the matter of
school books—a burden that
i has become so heavy that many
of our people cannot bear it;
and;
Whereas, we view with in
creasing alarm the tendency to

Text'Book Commission of the

furnished by the State the
pupils in our public schools
without expense to the pupil or
at no more than a normal rental
charge:
That, we hereby place our
selves on record in opposition
to the frequent and what we
believe to be the unwarranted
changes in text books used in
our public schools;
That we escpeically call upon
the Representative to the Leg

measures to this effect;
That we hereby enlist the

Efficiency-Economy
Declaring that the only solu
tion for the grave problems of
the day is the intelligent ex
ercise of the right of franchise,
The Norfolk and Western Rail
way in a statement being pub
lished in newspapers along its
line, expresses the hope that
“its employees, friends and pa
trons will exercise that right
next month, and, regardless of
party affiliations, support for
office those candidates who will
work unselfishly for efficiency
and economy in government and
equality of opportunity for all
industry and individuals.”
Economy and simplicity in
government, the statement
says, “have been superceded by
extravagance, inefficiency and
a junglemaze of governmental
bureaus, commissions and de
partments.” Between 1913 and
1931, it was pointed out, feder
al, state and local government
al expenditures increased 375
per. cent. “This year, on the
basis • of present estimates,”
the statement continues, “taxes
will consume 30 per cent of the
earnings of industry and the
individual.’’ It adds that the
Norfolk and Western’s total tax
bill has Increased 72 per cent
since 1921.
Referring to the railways’
“unregulated competitors, sub
sidized with taxpayers’ money,”
the statement adds that “no
permanent national prosperity
can be attained when govern
ment is permitted to strangle
industry and commerce by ex
travagance and over-regula
tion.”

HOME DEMONSTRATION NEWS
Marjorie Holme*, Home Demonetratloa A|*at
Hon. Frank Hancock
Friend of Veterans
Dallas Kirby, independent
Democratic candidate for con
gress from this district, is mak
ing a desperate effort to leave
the impression on World-War
veterans that Frank Hancock
is not their friend. In fact, so
far as we have been able to
learn, his only platform and
issue is directed against Rep
resentative Hancock. But he
is not getting anywhere with
such campaign methods, as the
following letter will plainly
show:
Yanceyville, N. C.,
September 14th, 1932. j
Mr. Charles H. Husband,
Adjutant Veterans of Foreign :
Wars,
Reidsville, N. C.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of
Sept. 13th, regarding a speak
ing date in this county for Mr.
Dallas C. Kirby, of Winston
Salem, Candidate for Congress,
beg to say that we, in this coun
ty, have the very highest re
spect for Mr. Kirby due to the
fact that he is a World War
Veteran and was a member of
the Wild Cat Division. Howev
er, we think Mr. Kirby is mak
ing a very unwise move when
he enters into the race for Con
gress against Mr. Hancock.
I wish to call the attention
of you and Mr. Kirby to the
fact that two years ago when
the first half of the bonus was
paid to the veterans that Mr.
Hancock of this district, Wright
Patman of Texas and others
were in the forefront m Con
gress fighting valiantly for the
payment of the bonus, and had
it ]|ot been for Mr. Hanflock’*
splendid support with other
members of Congress in sympa
thy with the same, the Veter
ans would not have obtained
payment at that time.
I wish to call your attention
to the fact that the National
Convention of American Legion
went on record one year ago to
day this month as not asking
payment of the balance of the
bonus certificates at the term
of Congress closed, therefore,
we feel that it behooves us, the
veterans of this county, to
stand by the edict endorsed by
our National Convention. As a
Post of the American Legion,
we have never asked Mr. Han
cock to cast his vote for the
bonus for the reasons above
mentioned.
We are certain that when we
call on Mr. Hancock to cast his
vote he will grant our request
as he has always done in the
past.
You asked that I make ar
rangements for a place and
date for Mr. Kirby to address
the veterans, their wives and!
dependents in this county, I am ;
sorry that I am unable comply
with your request, as the vet
erans of this county are whole
heartedly for Mr. Hancock.
I wish to say further to you ;
and the other veterans of this,
our Fifth District, that there
are other things and matters
of grave importance which re
quire the attention of our Con
gressman as well as the Veter
an’s Legislation, and I am sure
that Mr. Hancock has and will
admirably carry out all phases
of legislation which is bene
ficial to the people of our dis
trict.
I hope the above fully ex
plains our position in this mat
ter.
With very best wishes, I am
W. B. HORTON,
Commander of Post No. 89
American Legion.

Our Garden
(By a Club Member)
This spring our Home Agent
called to see us and brought a
nice package qf Red Cross seed.
We were quite proud of these
for money was scarce and seeds
hard to get.
We planted the beans, beets,
corn, turnips,^ chard cabbage,
tomatoes, etc., with various re
sults. I canned ninety quarts
of snaps, eighteen quarts of
beets, put up five gallons of
sour kraut, canned forty or
more quarts of soup mixture
form the tomatoes, corn and
lima beans.
We still have lovely tomatoes
despite the long dry spell and
some of the turnip seed will be
coming up soon. Besides serv
ing the family of eleven with
plenty of green things, we have
fed a pig, a pet “bunny” and
several chickens from waste
and extra cabbage leaves, tur
nips, radish, lettuce and beet
greens.
Sadler—Home
Management
The lettuce was especially
nice and did not run to seed so
rapidly for we sowed it between
some small damson plum trees
and the partial shade kept the
greens tender. Our garden and
truck patches have meant much
to us in this the hardest year
of our twenty years of house
keeping experience, and while
we have only about half m
many quarts of fruit and vege
tables canned that we had ilk
1931 still we have some four
hundred and fifty quarts of ber
ries, peaches, snaps, soup mix
ture, brunswick stew, both
kinds of peas, corn, some pre
serves, jelly and pickles.
Of course, we should‘ have
made much more, but for sea
son, but we are so proud of
what we have and we
if. our sweet potatoes
