EARLY TRIAL IS LIKELY White Plains, N. Y., June 20. Walter S. Ward, wealthy baker's son, probably will, go to trial for the murder of Clarence Peters, . ex sailor, on July 17, it was learned from a reliable source late today. This information, coming close on the heels of conferences held by Isaac N. Mills, former appellate di vision justice, and the newest ac cession to Ward's legal talent, gave rise to reports that an agreement had been reached whereby District Attorney Weeks would ask an eariv trial provided George S. Ward, the slayer's father, would return from his tour of the Middle West and give deputy sheriff a chance to serve on him a grand jury sub poenae they have been parrying around for nearly two weeks.

NEW FARM LOAN BANK We are glad to announce that The First Carolinas Joint Stock Land Bank, with former Congressman Lever, until recently a member of the Federal Farm Loan Board, as Presi dent, and with offices at Columbia, S. C., is to do business in this County. This fact became known when it was learned that DuRant '& Ellerbe, Esqa., had become connected with this in stitution as abstract attorneys, and as its local reprecentative in the County. When asked for a state ment as to methods of operation and terms of loan Mr. DuRant, said: "The. First Carolinas Joint Stock Land Bank is chartered under the Federal Farm Loan Act and is op erated under the same Federal super visio nof the Federal Farm Loan Board. The present paid in capital stock is $250,000 and $25,000 sur plus. The Bank operates very much along the same lines as does the Ferd eral Land Bank of Columbia and un der the same supervision. It makes loans only on improved agricultural lands; it does not loan on city pro perty. The proceeds of these loans must be applied for general agricul tural purposes. The loans are made direct to the borrower, and the bor rower is forbidden to take stock in the Bank. Any person is eligible for a loan through this institution if in addition to his other work he is at the same time actually farming. "Tie Bank will accept applications for loans from $1,000 to $25,000. Loans cannot be made in excess of fifty per cent of the appraised value of the land and twenty per cent of the appraised insurable value of the buildings, such appraisals being nde by officials of -the Government. The interest rate is six per cent, payabl? semi-annually, to which is added one per cent to amortize or kill off the debt over a period of 33 years. In other words, for seven per cent in terest and principal are paid in :3 years and the debt is discharied. Re paynent of principal may b'e made at any time under regulation i issued by the Farm Loan Board. The bor rower through this Bank is r'espon sible alone for his own debt. 'T'here are no commissions that mray be charged under the law, nor are there renewals.

I feel con fident that this institution is going to serve a most useful purpose in help ing the farmers of this County to pay off on the installment plan the losses suffered in the recent depression. The Federal Land Bank and this Bank are acting in the closest harmony to take care of all the needs of agricul ture in the County.

Nuts and screws that hold the connections in place should be clean and should be screwed tight, so that there is no pos sibility of their working loose either through .jarring of the car on the road, or the swaying of the wires themselves. Begin with the battery and follow each one of the cables through the switches, assuring yourself of every connection as you go along. If this job is lone thoroughly you will have no reason to worry about loose con nections. At the same time make sure that there are no short circuits caused by the wearing through of in sulation or by the bits of wire that sometimes drop in where they do not belong. So much for the wiring, but at the Same time it 1s a good thing to have the starting, lighting, and ignition units, and the storage battry looked at. by the service stations specializing in these parts. No matter where you may live it is possible to find a con veniently located Willard Service Sta tion which will test the solution in your battery, and will at the same time notify you of any unsatisfactory condition that may exist.
