INTEREST SAVINGS
TOFARMERS CITED
Reduction of $3.50, 900, 900
Annually Is Reported at
Federation Convention.
N the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, December o.
Annual interest on the farm mortgage
debt has been reduced by about $780,
100000 since 1880, w. I. Myers, gov
ernor of the Farm Credit Administra-
ton, told the American Farm Bureau
Federation convention today.
This reduction Is practically the
same, he said, as increasing farmers
purchasing power by that sum.
Mortgage interest payments Of
100000 borrowers through the Farm
Credit Administration are lower by
more than $74,00o, 900 this year due
to debt reflnancing at lower rates Of
interest and because Of temporary
interest subsidies provided by Con-
gress," asserted the governor.
This direct saving results from the
refinancing program Of the Farm
Credit Administration. which now
holds approximately 40 per cent of
the total farm real estate mortgage
debt in the United States"
Myers said, however, that subsidized
interest rates for agriculture should be
confined to the emergency period.
with the benefit Of reasonable
prices for farm products and interest
rates in line with the cost Of borrow
ing money on a business basis" he
added, "the indebted farmer will have
ample opportunity to work his way
out.
The long-term program of the
Farm Credit Administration is not to
create special privileges, but to assure
credit equality for agriculture. It is
doing this by building and strengthen
ing cooperative credit co-operatives
which are organized for permanency."
Benefits Of reflnancing activities. the
governor said, are reflected as well in
better terms and lower interest rates
now available to many borrowers
whose farm mortgages are held by
other creditors. There also has been
a dianetric change in creditor-farm
debtor relation in the past three and
one-half years, he said.

ITS fun, this business Of being beau

prove upon Dame Nature and show
the dear lady that you can climb to
greater beauty heights than she ever
intended you to reach.
It's fun toying with the idea Of a
change in hair color once in q while;
it's fun wearing false eyelashes; it's
fun tinting nails and lips to match;
it's fun putting blush in the cheek

the best Judge. Occasionally We fnd
o woman who gives q little more
prominence to the eyes by giving the
brows q deeper arch through tweezing
the brows underneath. Here and there
the general expression Of the face Is
changed for the better by a change
in the natural course Of the brow. But
for the most part the natural line is
the ideal one to give the features Of
the face true balance"
To be sure the eyebrows can be
styled" You can tweeze them and
make them thinner; you can pencil
them and make them appear heavier.
you can give them q deeper arch. you
can simulate an upward curve at the
outer corners, you can change the
brows to give q more sophisticated or
q more studious look to the face. But
I repeat Mature seems to know best
in the matter Of brows."
It isn't nearly as important for the
eyebrows to be styled" as 1t IS for
them to be groomed. You don't even
have to arch them to achieve that
finished" look to the face. All you
have to do Is weed out the wild hairs.
Surprising how . few little hairs
marching out of line can give the face
q dishelved look. This is particularly
true of the middle-aged face. I feel
that grooming the brows should be
as much a part of the middle-aged
woman's routine as keeping the chin
single and the fair from showing gray.
I've seen women drop some 10 years
from their faces apparently, of
course), after q single eyebrow
cleanup.
If you're not used to it, 1t may ap-
pear Q painful procedure. But it takes
such q short time that few staccato
stings shouldn't matter. Let your f1rst
eyebrow cleaning be done by an ex-
pert. Then form the habit Of weed
ing out the little wild hairs one by
one as they appear. It's simple and
altogether satisfactory little habit to
form.

something about the crunchy texture
and tangy flavor that Is almost the
essence Of Autumn itself.
From the Northern and Western
States for the most part-but also IN
excellent quality from Virginia and
West Virginia come the largest ship
ments of apples in this country. Right
now the markets are bursting into red

Jonathans, Grimes Goldens, Winesaps.
and SO on, ready to bring new life
and color to the fruit bowl. Soon Will
come along the rosy Delicious apples
from the West Coast. together with
the Staymans, Rome Beauties, Spltz-
enbergs, etc.
But with all this impressive array.
I have just one question to ask
where, oh, where, Is the little. dusty
russell apple Of old? In my grand
fathers orchard there were three
trees, so old and gnarled that they
seemed distorted by rheumatism,
which. bore, every october, . few
round, looking apples that had
the most delicious flavor OF any.
These, with the Grimes Goldens from
q neighboring tree, were always well
coined with whoops Of Joy; the mel
low afternoons, after school, were
spent in the knotted hospitality Of the
tree branches, doing homework with
Juicy apples to help the task along.
To bite into q russell apple once
again would be to recapture the youth
full pleasure of those golden Autumn
days!

Gourmet's Guide for the Hostess
BY LUCIE EBERLY.

BEFORE we realize it, showers, we'd
dings, teas and other late after
noon and evening socials will come
crowding right into our seasons sched-
ule with hustle of great importance.
Well all want to be serving something
new and different-be it a new wafer,
cake, canape or entree. Our local
stores have already got into the swing
of the moment and are displaying a
pleasing variety Of new items to claim
the hostess interest.
y r y
IF IT'S o shower for the ride-to-be
that heads your list you'll surely be
delighted with q few suggestions
proudly offered by some Of our up-to-
the-minute caterers.
The tea table for this occasion will
need to be both smart and dainty, so
for added frills in keeping with the
spirit of the party they suggest that
you bring some Of the refreshments to
the table dressed In tulle. Have one
or two bundles of assorted pastry
sticks tied together with a wide tulle
ribbon with a spray Of orange bios
SONS or lily of the valley tucked in the
large fluffy bow. Long delicately
favored cheese straws and nut stick
or baton, made with sweet puff paste
and generously sprinkled with shelled
almonds make a nice twin ensemble
for the tea table. Pistachio sticks and
q bisque mocha are another nice COM
bination. The bisque mochas are
large feather-light French ladyfngers,
filled and held together with mocha
butter cream and chopped nuts.
These cunning parcels, by the way,
are quite suitable for the wedding
breakfast table as well as for the
showers; since they are edible table
novelties they should be interesting in
double measure. For the bridal table
you would use white tulle, of course.
H&+ +*
MIDGET "hot dogs" roll and sau-
" sage complete, are exceptionally
tasty and provide something novel for
the canape platter. Serve them piping
hot. with or without mustard. The
tiny rolls can be made to order by
some local bakers If notified "a hours
in advance. The rolls should be
about an inch or an inch and a half
long, and the regular f1nger-roll
shape. Those made by one baker we
know are made with French bread
dough, and are carefully glazed on top.
The small frankfurter sausage come
packed in tins, large and medium size
cans, containing 40 or 20 sausages.
Being so very small they need only be
pushed under the broiler for a few
minutes to cook. They can, in fact, be
cooking while the rolls are being re-
heated. So you see how quickly and
easily these hot tidbits can be pro-
duced.
