WASHINGTON, D. C. June 27.
—Secretary Roper's prediction of
an upturn in business is not
shared by Wilson Oliver, business
commentator, par excellence.
Writes Mr. Oliver:
"The beginning of a general
upward movement of considerable
proportions at this time appears
improbable, It would be against
the rules. In fact, it says in the
book that business is more apt to
slow down in the summertime,
and pick up rather moderately
in the autumn, and that the real,

All we need say in the present
circumstance is that there is no
need to hurry about making the
initial decision. And we may
add that the imponderables-the
uncertainties -the profound un-

were expressed in some quarters.

TO THE VOTERS OF LIPS-
COMB COUNTY AND THE 31st
JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF TEXAS:
A Citizen of Wheeler County, in
offering himself as candidate for
District Judge, begs your indul-
gence while telling you of the
positions of 'trust that it has been
his honor to hold and a brief his-
tory of his life in the Panhandle
of Texas.
"I came to Wheeler County in
1916, which by the way was the
year you first elected 'the present
encumbent to the office of Dis-
trict Judge, to teach school In
Wheeler, Texas. At the close of
that term of school, May 11th,
1917, I entered the army and re-
turned to Wheeler in 1919 to
teach a second term, I remained
at the head of that school and
The reduced interest rates on
Federal land bank and Commis-
sioner loans have been extended
by Federal legislation for a per-
iod of two years, according to
word received today from the Fe-
deral Land Bank by M. R. Mery-
dith, Secretary-Treasurer of the
Lipscomb County National Farm
Loan Association.
On Federal land bank loans
through national farm loan
associations the temporarily re-
duced rate of 3l/2 per cent per
annum will be co/itinued for all
interest installments payable
prior to July 1, 1940.
The temporarily reduced rate of
4 per cent on Land Bank Com-
missioner loans is also continued
until July 1, 1940, Mr. Merydith
said.
"The temporary interest reduc-
tion does not change the con-
tract interest rate, that is, the
rate written in the mortgage at
'the time a loan was made," Mr.
Merydith said. "At present the
contract rates on new land bank
loans are 4 per cent for loans
through unimpaired associations.
The contract rate on all Com-
missioner loans made through the
land bank is 5 per cent. Under
the law, as now amended, both
land bank and Commissioner bor-
rowers will resume interest pay-
ments at their respective con-
tract rates on July 1, 1940.
"Farmers who now obtain new
loans through an association at
the 4 per cent contract rate," Mr.
Merydith continued, "will get the
benefit of the 3'/2 per cent rate
for all interest installments pay-
able prior to July 1, 1940, and
after that will not have to pay
more than the 4 per cen't con-
tract rate for the balance of the
term of the loan, which may be
for as long as 20 to 30-odd years."
Mr. Merydith says that at this
time there is 246 Federal land
bank loans and 148 Land Bank
Commissioner loans for a total
of $1,373,732.00 loaned through

Wheeler County. In 1930, I re-
tired to private practice of law
without offerir^g myself as a can-
didate for sec6nd term as County
Judge.
It is my opinion that the citi-
zens of the 31st Judicial District
desire, as democratic minded peo-
ple, that one man be not per-
petuated1 in office and that they
are ready after these TWENTY-
TWO years to make a change,
rather than grant FOUR more
years, in the same office, to the
same man. It is also my opinion
that these same voters are will-
ing and anxious to see one, whose
past experience speaks for
ability, climb the ladder In pub-
lic trusts rather than remain
stationary; to give the office to
one who has the energy of youth
and maturity that comes with
experience and who is young en-
ough to look forward not back-
ward.
A new man, who is capable and
who brings new ways to any Jobs,
Is practical and preferable.
My every efforts will be to
grant prompt trials to cases flled-
clvll as wdjl as crimknal-wlthout

political prominence.
I therefore request every voter,
who believes in reasonable rota-
tion of public office, to give me
their unqualified support.

CANADIAN, June 30—With the
greatest array of talent in history
and all attendance records due
to be shattered, Canadian's six-
teenth annual rodeo and 4th of
July celebration will get under
way with a full head of steam
Saturday afternoon at 2 P. M.
Contract was made early in the.
season for the cream of Beutler
Bros, livestock, and they have
been on the grounds for a good
many days getting acclimated
and accustomed to the chutes and
corrals.
The rodeo will open at 2 p. m.
After the grand entry and in-
troduction of noted visitors, offi-
cials and others, a chute will fly
open and one of Beutler Bros,
wildest of wild mustangs will
jump out, a human being, in all
probability, vainly attempting to
remain in the saddle until the
judges' whistle is blown.
From that minute on, death
will ride hand in hand with the
bronc riders, calf ropers, bull-
cfoggers and others, as they dish
out thrills and spills for the en-
tertainment of those in the
stands.
The afternoqn will see the top
hands of the rodeo world fighting
it out in the arena 'for thousands
of dollars in prize money—spurred
to redoubled energy by the know-
ledge that to win an event at
this show will give them prestige
the remainder of the season.
However, exciting as the days
may be, they will have nothing on
the nights. There will be dances
in Canadian's spacious city audi-
torium, and the care-free attit-
ude that is predominant in a
holiday crowd.
Canadian streets have been
draped with hundreds of Ameri-
can flags and gaily-colored bunt-
ing, and on every hand appeared
more and more signs that Texas'
July cowtown was all but set for
its annual celebration. And loud
shirts and 10-gallon hats were
seen on every corner.
Crack bands have been secured
from outside towns to play dur-
ing the rodeo this year. Pampa
will be here with their band on
Saturday; Perryton, July 3rd; and
the Shamrock Band on Monday
July 4th.
Marvin Jones, representative in
Congress from this district, and
chairman of the House Agrlctural
Committee will speak at the City
Auditorium on Saturday, July 2nd
at 11:00 a. m.
Miss Synda Yokley, 16 year-old
cowgirl, will rope a calf each day
according to contest rules. She
will also act as hostess to the
cowgirls in the cowgirls sponsor
contest. Cities that have repres-
entatives are Woodward, Okla;
Darrouzett, Miami, Perryton, and
Pampa. ,
