AL CAPONE TURNS UP
NOSE AT FIRST JAIL FOOD
farm
eight-
state St. Louis district have been
good despite adverse business con-
ditions and the low price of cot-
ton, R. H. McElveen, director of
the United States feed-seed loan
office at St. Louis said. He was
in Lubbock last week for a con-
ference with new field agents of
the office.
Collections this season in the
district have amounted to about
$1,000,000, exclusive of cotton
stored in bonded warehouses as
collateral for production loans
granted last winter in drouth
stricken areas, he said.
“This is very encouraging con-
sidering the fact that the loans
are not due until November 30,”
McElveen said. “In addition, a
large amount of cotton has been
stored in warehouses over the
south to cover many other loans.”
In the eight states in the St.
Louis district a total of about
pound cannot help but be bene-
fited by the plan, according to
McElveen. In effect, the plan
creates a cotton pool, which keeps
the cotton off the market until
the borrower is ready to sell, he
said.
“There is a mistaken idea re^
gariling the collaterization of cot-
ton by storing it in warehouses,”
he said. “This cotton is not trans-
ferred to the government, but
remains in the name of the pro-
ducer until such time as he de-
sires to sell the product. It may
be sold only with the written con-
sent of the producer. It is accept-
ed at the rate of six cents per
pound as collateral on the loan.
If the price goes up, the borrower
receives the benefit of the in-
crease. If the price goes down,
the government does not hold the
borrower responsible, nor will it
require him to put up more cot-
ton to cover the loss.”
Release on the balance of the
crop will be given the farmer af-
ter he has deposited enough cot-
ton in a bonded warehouse to
cover the loan, after deducting
the $7.50 allowance for harvest-
ing the production, and to cover
a reasonable amount of interest,

In three villages—Chatearoux,
Issoudun and Vatan—the laborers
who desire new jobs mount the
auction block each year and are
“sold” to the highest bidder for
the forthcoming period. The pay
for both the four months and the
eight months period is the same
because there is less work in the
wintertime.
The men and women laborers
gathered Monday in the public
square where shepherds, cattle
tenders, tillers of the soil walked
about talking prices and looking
over the workers. Since the war
fewer laborers have offered
themselves in the market, and
prices have been higher for the
efficient workers.
Some times the bidders offered
the laborer a bonus, such as
clothes, in addition to the regular
pay.
The government considers one
bale additional to 10 bales stores
as sufficient to cover the extra
costs, he said. The loan, however,
bears interest until the indebted-
ness to the government is liquid-
ated. A release will be sent the
farmer from the St. Louis office
as soon as the officials there are
satisfied the loan has been pro-
tected by the proper collateral.
The farmer then may dispose of
his crop as he sees fit without
fear of being prosecuted for dis-
posing of mortgaged property,
McElveen said.
The farmers will be allowed
actual cost of harvesting their
crops, where loans were made on
feed crops, and will not be re-
quired to sell feed unless he has
a surplus, McElveen explained.
The director said his office
next week would advise farmer
borrowers in Texas when they
might see the field men assigned
to their respective districts. Each
borrower will be sent a notice
giving the itinerary of the field
agent in his district.
While McElveen’s visit to Lub-
bock primarily was for the pur-
pose of conferring with the new
field men, he conferred with
chamber of commerce representa-
tives, county agents and borrow-
ers of this territory during the
afternoon. He is to leave this
morning for New Mexico for a
similar conference.

BY OIL TANK BLAST
Kilgore, Texas, Oct. 26.—The
explosion of a 10,000-barrel oil
tank at noon Monday fatally
burned Fred Thompson, 31.
Three other men working on
top of the tank barely escaped
death in the flames by leaping
thirty feet to the ground.
J. C. Billings received a dis-
located shoulder when he jumped
from the tank. Two other men
were uninjured.
Thompson leaped with his fel-
low-workers, but was injured so
severely he was unable to escape
the flames.
Three other tanks in the vicin-
ity were endangered and firemen
feared they would explode be-
cause of the heat. All were filled
with oil.
The tanks were located on the
Magnolia-Ben Laird lease.
