THREE TIMES AROUND
EARTH VEL|E RECORD

Driving distance totaling almost
three times around the earth, V. w.
Guercio, Los Angeles plumbing con-
tractor, has set a new record for
keeping down repair bills. Guercio
recently noticed that the speedometer
on his 1911 Velie had clicked into the
70,000-mile mark and he Immediately
footed up his repair bills on the car.
He found that for five years of al
most constant motoring he had paid
out just $7O25- for repairs. This is
record of 81 for repairs to every
thousand miles of motoring. The car
is still in excellent shape and is be-
ing used daily.
Guercio has used the car as both
pleasure car and for business pur-
poses. AS an instance of the strenu-
Gus use to which he has put the We
lie, he shows record of more than
twenty trips from Los Angeles to
Arrowhead Hot Springs and return.
The car has been on every type
of road and large part of the mile
age has been rolled up on the des-
ert and in the San Bernardino noun
tains. In speaking yesterday of the
car to A. L. Luce, local Velie distrib-
utor, Guercio said:
81 purchased the Velie in 1911 and
immediatel put it into use 1t has
never had rest from that day to
this; in fact, do not believe there
has been single day the car was not
used, either for business or pleasure.
I have always driven carefully, and
perhaps this accounts in part for the
low repair bills, but the car itself
is wonderful piece of mechanical
engineering and design
81 think the fact that the car has
been driven 10000 miles and is still
in excellent condition is proof that
the Velie is a carefully constructed
motor vehicle of thoroughly good
quality, and, while this old model OF
mine is not so handsome as the new
Velie Biltwell models, I expect to con-
tinue using it and shall try to dou.
BILE the present mileage The car looks
today as though it could easily travel
again the distance it has already
gone"

The use of the borrowed money is
limited to the following purposes:
TO purchase land or additional
land.
To pay off existing indebtedness.
To purchase livestock or to make
any productive improvements, such
as clearing, fences, drainage, build
ings and machinery.
The object of amortization is to en-
able a farmer to turn a mortgage
into an Investment. When he can
borrow at less rate than it yields
him he is able to pay off his indebted
ness out of the profits of his invest
ment. A long time loan enables him
to use his money judiciously so that
it will contribute to increased value
of his land and its increased produc-
ing power.
Heretofore farmers have not been
able to borrow for long periods. This
discouraged investment in livestock
and for many other purposes because
the returns are slow. Short term
loans made a speculator out of a
farmer.
So the Farm Loan act, in addition
to providing way for the farmer
to borrow to the limit of safety, in
duces him to put his borrowed money
TO productive uses and provides way
for him to get out of debt from the

HOW MORTGAGES ARE
GRADUALLY RETIRED
UNDER FARM LOAN ACT
By Frank r. Wilson

Of the Federal Farm Loan Bureau
written for the United Press)
Washington, Jan. 17.-One of the
features of the Federal Farm Loan
Act which makes a strong appeal to
farmers is that it compels them grad
ually to retire their Indebtedness
through a long or short period of
years.
This process is called amortization
Under it the interest and principal
are paid off in equal annual or semi
annual installments throughout the
period of the loan so that at the end
of the term of the mortgage the bor-
rover is out of debt.
All loans under the Farm Loan Act
are made under the amortization or
installment plan. Since the borrower
begins paying off his debt the first
year after he gets the money, and
because long time loan is best suit
ed to farmers, borrowers under this
act are permitted to execute mort
cages to run from five to forty years
at their option.
Permission is given to pay all of
the loan or any part of it on any in
terest-paying date after the mortgage
has run five years. Borrowers are
not permitted to pay off within the
first five years, because the, money
which they have borrowed has been
procured by the bank through the
sale of it's bonds, and bonds cannot
be sold for a shorter period than five
years.
To give the prospective borrower
an exact idea of the size of annual
payments required to wipe out a

Sim Maroney, negro, on parole from
the state prison, was sentenced to
spend so days in the county Jail or
pay fine of $100. Maroney was
permitted to come to Imperial Val

woman. During the scuffle pistol
was fired, but Maroney and his an
tagonist remained mute and would
give no explanation.

profits of the investment.
Thus the Farm Loan act places
within reach of the farmer the means
to help himself and stimulates his
business initiative. The long time
loan with its small annual payments
puts quietus on the terror of mort
gage foreclosure.

demands of the camp. particularly as
| to transportation both by rail and high
way, not only for the original concen-
tration, but to make access to the camp
easier from the city for visitors and the
student soldiers themselves.

cheering expert of the war depart

vey Of the camp site, which was to fix
the location of the barracks, camp
streets and communicating roadways.

Buildings will cover approximately

acres for other purposes OF the cam,
such as drilling GROUNDS, ranges. etc.
In addition to buildings established by
the government, the national Y. NJ. G,

Many interesting figures regarding
plans for the camp have been given
out unofficially, showing the enormity
OF the task facing the government In
preparing the army city" for habita-
ton perhaps by the latter part Of Sep
tember.
Among the first things to be provid-
ed for is the water supply, at least .
100000 gallons a day. Sewage disposal
is another point of first consideration,
as the question of sanitation is fore
most in army camp construction.
The camp will be encircled by it's
own railroad. A street will be con-
structed, two and half miles long. ac-
cording to plans announced here. along
which the barracks will be built each

Careless Use of
Soap Spells the Hair
313 b Avenue, w.
Cedar Rapids. Iowa.

Soap should be used very carefully.
ii you want to keep your hair locking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust dirt,
Sdandrun and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy. it's very cheap. and a
feW ounces will supply every member
Of the family for months.
