MIDWEST PLANS TO DENV REPORTS OK BANKRI PTCV JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., (UP) — Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska newspaper publishers want to know that the recent drought did not bankrupt the middlewest. Associated dailies of those three states, and possibly Iowa, are launching an advertising and publicity campaign in Eastern publications, newspapers and trade journals, to offset reports that searing heat during July and August left farmers with no income. The Missouri publishers are putting up $2,000. to be matched w;th like sums from the other state organizations. Advertising space will be purchased in the publications. The advertisements will make statistical facts, gathered from the federal government and individual states, showing that farm purchasing power this year actually has increased over last year. In Missouri, for example, while the drought was figured as doing some $500,000,000 in damage, farmer’s purchasing power in 19.'54 is estimat-

ed at $5,000,000 more than it was in 1933. They are receiving higher prices for their crops and hogs, in addition to the millions of dollars distributed in the state by federal relief agencies. The newspaper stories will relate activities of modwestern farm sections to "break back” to normal after the drought. Recent rains salvaged some of the late corn, made possible planting of new forage crops, prepared the ground for next year and refilled streams and creeks to furnish water to thousands of heads of livestock.

A called meeting of the Putnam county debt adjustment committee will be held Friday at 1 p. m. in the courthouse. It was said a state official also will be present. Between ten and twelve fanners are expected to appear before the board in an attempt to adjust their indebtedness so they may secure a federal loan. Members of the committee are Paul Albin, Russell Brown, Harry Stamp, Clarence Branneman, and Glenn H. Lyon.

DUTCH TO USE STREAMLINING FOR WINDMILLS

AMSTERDAM, (UP) — When the number of windmills began diminishing rapidly in Holland during the last 25 years, Doctor P. G. van Ticnhoven, of Amsterdam, formed a society called "The Holland Windmill,” for the preservation of the Dutch windmill. At first this society was not very successful. Then A. H. Dckker. of Leiden, thought of making the old fashioned windmill more efficient by streamlining. He invented a streamlined wing, which is plated with aluminum or zinc. All sharp comers arc rounded. The result has been astonishing. Before, the mills needed a fairly fttong wind to make the wings go round and when the wind dropped they hud to fit on the "sails,” to moke the wings catch more wind.
