President Wants Higher
Cotton Prices
President Roosevelt is seeking to
raise the income of producers in
the cotton areas. While discuss-
ing commodity price increases in
the light of the present European
situation recently, he said that the
present world price of cotton was
ty legislation with payments of
about $50,000,000 a month. There
are now 1,845,000 senior citizens
on the old age pension roll; 311,000
families with 748,000 children are
getting monthly checks, as are 05,-
000 blind persons.
Old Age Insurance Account
as, the number on the old age in-
surance roll will go up. Any one
may receive a statement of the
wages credited to his old age in-
surance account for the years 1937
or 1988 by making a request to the
Social Security Board, Candler
Building, Baltimore, Maryland. One
making such request should give
his account number, also date of
birth. The best way to obtain the
information is to get a card that is
provided for that purpose and fill
out the blank form.
H. O. L. C.
Home Owners' Loan Corporation
announces that beginning October
16, its interest rates on outstanding
contracts will be reduced to 4 1-2
per cent. This is the lowest net
interest rate to the borrower yet
offered by any government agency.
H. O. L. C. still has some 80,000
homes on its hands, which are be-
ing sold through real estate brok-
ers. On all of these homes sold af-
ter October 16, the H. O. L. C. will
take back a mortgage at 4 1-2 per
cent. On houses already sold on
which it has taken back mortgages
at 5 per cent, the rate on the out-
standing balance will be reduced to
4 1-2 per cent. It is believed that
this will assist in disposing of the
homes still left on the shelf quite
rapidly.

McLeod Longhorns
Win Over Rodessa
In one of the gridirons upsets, the
light McLeod "Longhorns" eleven
defeated a much heavier Rodessa
team twenty to seven. With the
exception of the first few minutes
of play, when the Red Bulls of Ro- ]
dessa passed into the end zone for
a touchdown, they were thoroughly
out-played.
The "Longhorns" first touchdown
came in the second quarter as a
result of a beautifully timed pass
from Walton to Thomas on the
two-yard line from where Thomas
! stepped over for a touchdown. A |
j conversion pass from Walton to
| Thomas was good for the extra
! point.
| Midway the third quarter, Law,
a Longhorn tackle, intercepted
! Scaggs pass intended for Rodessas
' right half back, and behind some
| beautiful blocking, stepped forty
! yards for a touchdown.
Four minutes after the starting
of the last period a pass again from
Walton to Thomas good for twenty
five yards, with Thomas running
the remaining thirty for a score.
( Conversion was good.
For Rodessa, Scaggs* aerial
I heaves worried the Longhorns while
| both teams defense against a run-
ning game was excellent.
The Longhorns play James Bowie
High in McLeod, October 13, while
the Red Bulls of Rodessa engage
the strong Mansfield, La., team.
