why lias saved $100 and can pay

Tiie money will be furnished by
private capital, either a building
anti loan association or a bank. The
loan,; will be made up to $2,500 and
the houses will include a heating
system, bath room and lawn. All
construction will be rigidly super-
vised by tiie Corporation and the
FLA to guard against “jerry build-
ing’’ with inferior materials. The
Government in recent years has
forced down interest rates, which
makes possible this construction for
low-income people. In addition, the
Government corporation insures the
loan which is, in effect, Uncle Sam
signing the note for each individual
borrower, who desires to build a
home and thereby encourages local
capital at a low rate for this pur-
pose.
FSA May Improve and Pay Taxes
on Farms
Under a recent act of the Legisla-
ture money may be borrowed on a
homestead in Texas to pay taxes
due on a homestead. The Farm Se-
curity Administration may, under
existing regulations, furnish as
much as $1,000 to owners of fam-
ily-size farms with which to pay
taxes and-or make improvements
on the homestead.
Judiciary
Whgn the existing vacancy was
filled by the appointment of At-
torney General Frank Murphy, Mr.
Roosevelt had appointed a majority
of the Supreme Court or 5 of the
9 members. As to the inferior judic-
iary, the President has appointed
142 Judges, as compared with the
same number — 142 — of sitting
Judges appointed by his predeces-
sors. But there are. 12 vacancies:
therefore, Mr. Roosevelt will, have
appointed a majority of the entire
Federal Judiciary when they are
filled. It can hardly be said any
longer that the Federal Courts are
entirely anti-New Deal.
Foreclosures
The 7,374 home foreclosures in
October were the lowest monthly
average for the last twelve years.
The Department of Agriculture also j
reports a marked decrease in farm
foreclosures.

The 1939 Agricultural Yearbooks j
are just off the press. Anyone de- ,

cation should make a request to me j

Austin.—There are more than
516 ways to land in jail in Texas.
Says Director Homer Garri-
son, Jr., of the state police, who
opines there ought to be a law pro-
hibiting the expression: "There
ought to be a J|aw.”
The possible violations of
state statutes, include municipal
ordinances, federal statutes and
other regulations applicable in
Texas.
Garrison points out stmistical-
minded criminals might be inter-
ested to know conviction of all state
offenses would bring maximum
penalties of 1,396 years imprison-
ment, four death penalties and
$254,115 in fines not including
court costs.
“And besides,” he adds, “ignor-
ance- of the law is no excuse.”

Apparently having made good his
escape, the gasoline thief who
made a daylight steal of nine gal-
lons of gasoline from the Presswood
store at Pine Branch, has so far
successfully evaded officers. Hav-
ing the attendant to fill his gas
tank, the thief drove away without
paying when the salesman went in-
to the building to get a quart of
oil he had requested.
Hefriry Doherty was reported to
be worth fifty million dollars when
he died last week, but ’ fifty
million dollars couldn’t stop his
rheumatism.
