Supposing the whole project cost SIOO,OOO. A grant for 45 ’Jer cent or $45,000 could be obtained. Bonds for the balance of $55,000 could be issued at four per jjent, payable over a 30-year period. Probably part of the bonds or interest could be paid by the jyater department and the balance jtaised by a tax levy. It would not ’be excessive and the cost of operating a sewage treatment plant is Very small. It doesn’t sound impossible in a community that has ■always been progressive and willing to pay for public improvements.

SENATOR GOTTSCHALK: State Senator Thurman Gott-| schajk's name has frequently been mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for gover--nor. The Berne Review-, publish-j ed in Mr. Gottschalk's home town,; editorially points to the senator's: years of public service and his qualifications for the office. It says: “As far as we know, Mr. Gottschalk has never expressed himself that he is a candidate. He does not seek the office. How-1 ever, his friends in his home town, i in bis home county and many others recognize the fine and extensive service he has renderd for many years to the citizens of the State of Indiana. This service has been of such high quality that his friends at home and from all over the state earnestly urge the leaders of the Democratic party in the State of Indiana to Conider Senator Gottschalk when it comes to the selection of a candidate for governor. The many years in high position, coupled with unselfish devotion for the welfare of the people lend him fitness that is not easily equalled. He is not a newcomer, but is well and favorably known from one end of the state to the other. His candidacy would i have a popular appeal to Indiana’s; democracy as well as to the large j group of independent voters." o —. — Robinson Crusoe Jailed Newburyport.

Pbysr.al ntd H tai if' EJttcatlo* He* S'*f of Pieblif 1 School Promotions It is becoming increasingly mow I difficult to justify the annual pro- , motion scheme used by most school I systems. Educators recognize the faults and they’re looking around for s ''A substitute. Parents can help at home by not placing so much empha’’y sis upon the importance of promotion Making it appear to be a “life and death” matter is dangerous. It becomes the horrible monster of the nightmare. Something terrible to be feared. No I child can be happy or do good work , with such a mental hazard. He ; eomes to think of promotion as a , means of escaping a parent’s wrath or some dreadful mark of inferior- ; ity for life. After all, the annual promotion j is just another tradition, merely a custom inherited from the past. We shouldn’t let it mean so much i if we would be fair to the child. June may close uie school year, but ; let it go at that. It’s the beginj ning of the summer vacation. In ; September go on as though there had been no break. Education never stops, whether school is open or j closed. Let each child go as fast las he can. Help him to do his best. But let’s stop making him feel that , promotion is the ONE great objective of education and life. In his neat article Dr. Ireland ; will show how summer play may II be useful as well as entertaining. : ■ - , ,

LOAN PROCEEDS PAID IN CASH — Proceeds Os Farm Mortgage Loans In Cash Instead Os Bonds The proceeds of all farm mortgage loans made through the Adams County National Earm Loan Association ajid the Federal Land Bank of Louisville are now paid iu cash instead of bonds as heretofore, reports E. Burt Lenhart, association secretary-treasurer at Decatur, Ind. "This procedure has now been effective for several days," said Mr. Lenhart, and simplifies the handling of loans, particularly where made for the purpose of refinancing the debts of farmer borrowers.” For the past year and a half j loans closed through the Federal j Land Bank and the Land Bank Commissioner have been paid prln-i cipally In bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation. In refinancing debts the agreement of the creditors was requested in advance to accept bonds rather than cash. Certain items such as taxes and insurance and fractional amounts of debts, meanwhile, have been paid in eash. Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation bonds are guaranteed by the Federal government both as to payment of principal and interest, and have met with a ready acceptance, witit the result that now there will be no difficulty in selling them, so that the proceeeds of their sale may be used in making Federal land bank and Land bank commissioner’s loans in cash. One of the principal reasons for using bonds in lieu of cash in the | first place was to obtain a widespread distribution of these securities throughout the country and small towns as well as in cities. This has been done through the ■ nearly half a million loans that i have been closed since the Feder- g al Farm Mortgage Corporation was organized. During most of this a time Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation bonds have sold above par. The most recent issue bear- I ing but 2% per cent interest is , quoted currently M around 101%, J the 2 per cent issue a.: 102% and the 314 per cent bonds at 104. -q. t * Modern Etiquette | by ROBERTA LEEJ J , !

You follow the wella known, well-marked roads. And you reach your desr tination the safest, most comfortable way. k t Why not follow the same rule in your shopping? Why not stick to the “highways of buying?” They have • been just as carefully plotted, and are just as carefully o marked as the great motor roads you’ve come to depend J upon. Marked by the trade-names of reliable, advera tised products. b > i The next time you go shopping follow these “highways.” Before you start, look through the advertises ments in these columns. Pick out the products you t want. Notice the trade-names that identify them.
