TO BORROW BONUS MONEY Government To Seek $800,000,000 In March Bond Offering x e The federal government on March 15 will borrow $800,000,000 of new money. in preparation for the soldier bonus payments and ther immediate expenditures, Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., said. A total of $1,809,000,000 in new securities are to be issued for the March financing but $559,000,000 will be used to retire notes maturing April 15 and $452,000,000 for short-term bills maturing Marchlf. The latter will be mpaid off in cash, leaving nearly $800,000,000 in new money to be raised. These borrowings would increase the treasury’s cash balance to approximately $2,600,000,000 and at the same time boost the public debt to another all-time record high of around $31,300,000,000.

““We are beginning to get a little money in, to get ready for the bonus,” Morgenthau said, in announcing the proposed. financing. #] can’t break down how much bonus money and how much spending money is involved.” - -He gaig that all government -2xpenditures and receipts had besn taken into account in arriving at the treasury’s financing needs for the immediate future. He refused to reveal what form the new security offering would take. These detalls will be announced later. The entire financial operation was discussed in detail at a conference among Morgenthau and various federa] reserve officals. : Morgenthau refused, however, to reveal the nature of the conference other than it was “a pleasant omne.”

Start Young Pigs on Feed Early Wihen young pigs are two weeks old they start eating grain and that is the time to begin feeding them, successful hog men agree. The mixure which hag proven very satisfactory on thousands of Indiana farms is made of 70 pounds of coarse ground corn, 20 pounds of .coarsely ground wheat and 10 pounds of good tankage. Feeds of good quality should always be used. When wheat is not available, flour middlings may be substituted. Skim milk, fed morning and evenings, will repiace the tankage. Care should be observed not to overfeed with milk. Soybeans have been found unsatisfactory as a protein supplement in rations for starting young pigs at the Purdue university experimental hog farm, and of course, should not be used for this purpose. .

Among the various methods of feed ing pigs grain, the self-feeder has been found to be by far the best. A good feeder keeps the feed cleaner helps to prevent robbing; gives pigs of different ages a more equai chanice and gaing are faster and more economical than by through feeding. The foregoing pig starter, or any good combination of feeds, should be self-fed until the pigs weigh about 70 pounds when a change may be made in the ration. Young pigs eaf frequently; therefore, keep feed in the feedr at all times. Pigs aTe not injured by full feeding when the ration is balanced and fed dry. ‘A fountain of -drinking water should be kept within a few feet of the gelf-feeder. A Purdue Extension Bulletin “Home-Made . Hog Equipment” has mmany Dpractical suggestions on making self-feeders, water foungains pig creeps and other equipment. Ask for this bulletin at the office ‘of the County Agricultural Agent M. A. Nye.

® SCHOOL NOTES 0

By Dan Drain.

In order that all the school pupils and teachers, who care to do BOmay go to the Sectional Basketball Tournament at Kendallville, Friday Supt. 0. R. Bangs has declared a holiday. This will eliminate the added work of supplying excuse blanks and make-up slips to all the students, ag well as making it posgible for the teachers to see- the Ligonier-LaGrange clash. A large part of the student body is expected to go and cheer for their team. Several high school members have been absent this week due to the “mumps.” Those who are still confined to their homes are Marjorie Tyler, Bonnie Conrad and Robert Longnecker. FHugene Byer another victim is now back in school. The Seniors are working hard these evenings in order to give their play, “The Clean-Up,” March 20th.

.M};nday evening _our basketball team ate supper at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Mathew, and it was a real supper, too. Just ask the boys. There was no one individual, I believe, who didn’t go back for his third or even fourth helping. This speaks well for. Mrs. Mathew’s cooking, and we all hope we iget another such invitation some time. There were no dull mioments as the boys all played cards which eating.

ROADS DAMAGED BY WASHOUTS

Motorists Warned To Exercise Caution On Gravel Roads Result of Thaws ; County road officials warned motorists to exercise extreme caution when traveling over gravel roads. The recent thaws have caused a numbe rof washouts in gravel roads. In the majority of the cases the roads cannot be immediately repaired because the ground is frozen. A load limit will probably be established on all unpaved roads In a few days to prevent heavy vehicles from cutting through .the gravel when the spring thaws start. Don P. Stiver director of the department of public safety also warned motorists to exercise care on state highways because of soft should ers along the roads and because of un usually low visibility at this tine of the year. Mr. Stiver pointed out ‘that school busses in loading and un loading passengers were unable to park off the paved highways and for ‘this reason added hazards face ‘motorists.

The commission allowed the railroads to continue charging extra fares. on their superservice trains. “Since 1923, the railroads of the country have been suffering severe losses in passenger traffic ard revlenues,” the commission said in ex'plaining the reason for its order.

NEWS of something good has a way of getting around. That is particularly true of an automobile. One motorist tells another. First thing you know, one car is way out in front. That’s what has happened to the Ford V-8. People bought it — saw the advantages of driving a V-8 — told their friends. Production in the United States and Canada started going up and up and reached a total of 1,272,885 for 1935. This was a gain of 77% in a year—it put Ford sales more than 190,000 above any other make. ’ ' It takes an unusually good car to make a record like that. It is convincing proof of

Time To File Mortgage Exemption The annual period for the filing of mortgage exemptions began Monday and will continue until Monday May 4. Soldiers’ exegmptions may be filed only during March and April. The -law provides that an owner of real estate having a mortgage upon his property may by filing a certified statement with the county auditor obtain a credit not to exceed one-half the assessed valuation, or more than $l,OOO, if the indebtedness existed prior to March 1 of the present year. . [Hundreds of Noble county people

take advantage of this law and in most cases the exemption is the maxi mum allowed. The description of the property, the name- of the holder of the mortgage and its amount must be set out in the blank and the instrument must be sworn to before a notary public. : The law also provides that any soldier or sailor who served threce months or more in the army or navy during the Mexican or Civil war and who shall have reached the age of seventy years or more, may have $l,OOO deducted from his taxable property where the assessed value of his taxables does not excede $5,000 as shown by the tax duplicates for that year, and the balance constitutes the basis of taxation.

" The widow of any soldier or sailor who shall have reached the age ol sixty years or more is entitled to a

performance and satisfaction and good service — further evidence that the trend is definitely toward the V-8. : Modern motoring requires at least eight cylinders. And why not have them? The 1936 Ford gives you V-8 cylinder power, smoothness and ease of handling. On top of this it gives you the economy of operation for which Ford cars have always been famous. We invite you to drive the new Ford V-8. You ean buy any new Ford V-8 car for $25 a month, with the usual low down-payment, on new UCC 1%49% per month Finance Plans.
