I'm the United States, the govern
ment pleads and implores with the
press. 1t does not try to suppress, but
it seeks to have printed news favor
able to itself. The national and state
administrations have their press
agents. Most of the mail that the
Herald-Review gets now, is from
some department of government ask
ing that certain things be published
for the information of our readers,
and for good political effect.
Whether such a condition is dan
gerous and subversive, we do not
know. Most of the material is
promptly, and most unconsiderately
filed in the waste basket At least,
there is no cOmpulsiOn.
When politicians and governments
throttle the press, look out for what
is just around the corner.

BORAH HAS THE IDEA
MURRAY County Heraldl

Senator Borah sounded the right
note when he said that the next cam
paign will not depend on how dead
the democratic platform is, but how
live the Republican platform is. He
pointed out that success can not be
hoped for through any candidate,
however strong and popular; that the
party itself must profess a living
faith. display living enthusiasm and
have no fear about coming to grips
with great issues. That is good Cos
pei for the party, and it is good phil
osophy for the country.

For one thing, there has been no

The newspapers of the United States
have refused to borrow money from

Snowfall was general over the central Yukon valley at the a. m. airway observation while cloudy and unsettled weather ob- tained over Seward Peninsula. Considerable fog was reported from the Deering and Pilgrim Springs sections.
 Temperatures continue mild and above normal in most sec tions of Alaska and all are above zero over the field of observation.
 Barometer readings continue low over the Boring Sea, western Alaska and southward. High pressure covers the Pacific Coast section and the crest is over Brit ish Columbia. This general pres sure distribution should result in a continuation of unsettled Weath CT for Nome and vicinity with snow squalls possible.

thing is made of enameled steel sheets
which will outlive the house itself.
The necessary piping and fitting are
included with the compartment, and
provision has been made to run the
pipes between the walls of the bath
and the present house walls.
Can Be Placed Anywhere.
This shower compartment can be
placed in any one of many places
about the house. You can put one
down in the basement for the use Of
servants, or your own convenience
after a hard game of tennis or q
tussle with your automobile. One
could be put on the first floor of the
den or utility room. so that your
chance guest can enjoy a pleasant
bath. Up on the second floor a COM
partment could be placed in a corner
of large bathroom in addition to the
bathing facilities already there. And.
of course, an attic which is being
made into living quarters should not
be without one of these easily-in-
stalled devices.
Prospective shower bathers will also
welcome new device which requires
no plumbing Of any sort, and supplies
most of the advantages of the elabo-
rate equipment. This affair consists
of a rubber ring which you hang
about your neck. the ring being
nInctIlrpd with rows Of water holes
The ring is connected to the tub FIX
ture with the usual length Of hose and
faucet adapter. The manufacturers
claim that very good results are being
obtained with the device. although
it does seem that some trouble might
be encountered in the event the ring
became turned around and the water
was directed toward the ceiling rather
than the bather. This would cause q
small rainstorm. which would pro-
vide welcome relief, anyway.

After one of these long, hot Sum-
mer days there Is nothing quite like
a shower bath to put you on your feet
again. The flow of water over your
overheated frame is the closest thing
to a swim in the ocean.
Many houses are without shower
baths merely because their owners
didn't realize that even the Oldest
bathtub can be converted at an ex-
tremely low cost into a modern
shower. OF course there have been
conversion type showers around for q
good many years, but they fell into
disrepute because of their ugliness
and ineflciency.
Shower Heads on Market.
If you have bath that you want
to make into a shower nowadays it
Is hardly necessary to call in q
plumber. although he will probably do
a somewhat better job unless you are
clever with stilson wrenches and
other phases of the art There are
shower heads on the market which
have the appearance Of being COM
pletely built-in, but are in reality as
sembled units which can be put in
place in less time than 1t takes to tell
about it.
One shower unit consists of length
of chromium plated pipe with the
necessary supporting brackets. At
the bottom is an attractively designed
combination tub and shower supply
fitting which replaces the old fitting
that came with the tub. BY the
simple lifting of little gravity-con-
trolled valve the water can be directed
up to the shower head or into the tub.
The head is not one Of the old
fashioned kind with a nat plate
punched full of holes. but has an
easily adjustable fitting that directs
fine spray or heavy with the mere
twist of the wrist. The new head
can't get clogged up either, due to its
unique construction.
For those interested in a more
elaborate bathing arrangement you
can now buy a complete shower COM
partment consisting of three sides,

} second mortgage is created to cover
the remainder of the financing after
the cash down-payment has been SUBJ
, tracted from the total cost of the
property. The second mortgage is
paid of in specified monthly amounts
which include interest and princi-
pal. Sometimes, however, the pro-
vision is made for the second mort
gage to be paid in entirety at a spe-
cif1c future date. Interest on the
first mortgage frequently is made pay
able separately from the second mort
gage monthly payments, or the
monthly payments may be made large
enough to include interest on the
first. Taxes and FIRE or other hazard
insurance are payable separately.
Operation of System.
Here Is how this financing system
works when John Doe wishes to buy
q home from an operative builder,
which for purposes of illustration, we
will say costs $4,000:
He signs a contract of purchase with
the builder or authorized agent of the
builder. The generally accepted down
payment is 10 per cent or in this in
stance $1,000. though frequently
homes are bought under this plan
with smaller cash payments Doe then
would assume and agree to pay the
construction loan which has been
made by the bank or other financial
institution prior to start of construc-
ton. This first mortgage or loan, as
stated above, would generally be for
so per cent Of the appraised value or
on $4,000 house about $4,000. Then
Doe would give back a second mort
gage of $4,000, which he is to pay in
equal monthly installments until it is
satisfied. The average buyer pays off
the second mortgage in from six to
eight years. In order to retire it in
this time Does monthly payments
would be about $50, including interest
on the first mortgage. The second
mortgage usually is held by the
builder.
In addition, Does taxes in the Dis
trict would be about $3.50 a year and
insurance SIP. The prevailing intereSs
rate on both mortgages is per cent.
The commission on the first mortgage
loan plus the commission on renewal
ut the end of the 3-year term would
approximate 1 per cent. This would
make the cost of the money borrowed
Z per cent.
If Doe, at the time the second
mortgage is satisfied, wishes to pay
off the first mortgage and free his
house of encumbrance. the usual pro-
cedure is for him to arrange for the
purchase OF the mortgage by a build
ing association or other home financ-
ing institution. He then arranges for
regular monthly payments which run
until the amount of $4,000, plus In
terest, is paid

ARE MOVIE SHOWS
TOO LONG?

A nationally known and leading
movie producing company writes this
newspaper asking whether public opl-
Mon here favors the double feature type
of movie show as now prevails, or pre-
fers the single feature, shorter program.
We feel that his is fair question as
much comment anent the long three and
four hour programs is to be heard from
many sides.
1t would appear that not only is the
inquiry designed to please the public,
but it is also aimed at helping the pro-
ducer to solve some of his problems. For
example, the big movie houses are often
faced with a difficult task in picturizlng
famous, lengthy novels which. cannot be
handled in mere matter Of sixty or
seventy minutes, but should be allowed
some two hours to properly portray the
interested events in the plot, as we'll as
the development of the characters
Under present conditions debating
two features, these lengthy pictures
must be so shortened as to ruin their
real value or be eliminated entirely.
Personally. we prefer the single fea-
ture program with a bit more neWsreel
and the usual comedy, though do not
feel confident that this preference is
universal. Here's everybodys chance to
tell the movie folks what they want. We
wonder if the public will avail itself OF
