HOW ALOAN Can
HELP YOU pay Up
YOUR Old BILLS

VXIoULD A 500 or $500 loan come
wv in handy this month? Have you
old bills you would like to clean up
with a loan?
If you have job, you may borrow
up to $500 at Household Finance in
a simple, private transaction. Then
you may repay your loan in monthly
installments arranged to fit your own
income and paydays.
2 ways TO borrow
Suppose that you need 500. The
table shows that IL monthly INSTALL
ments of $977 each will repay 500
loan in full. Or, if you wish smaller
payments, as little as $500 a month
will repay 500 loan in Is months.
All you do to apply for a Household
Finance loan is to tell us how much
you need and how you wish to repay.
Household Finance loans are made in
two ways. First way: On your per-
scnal note. No security required. This
type of loan is made, when circum-
stances warrant, to both single per-
soas and married couples. Second
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-11-13

way: On your car. This plan may best
fit your needs. At Household char &C.
ter and income are far more important
than the value of your security. Your
loan will be made the way which best
fits your own situation.
Other important points: 1t is not
necessary to ask friends or fellow
workers to act as endorsers. Your
friends, relatives or employers are not
notified. You get your loan promptly
and simply.
Get your loan for less
Payments in the table include charges
at Households rate of 21z9o per
month on unpaid balances. The Small
Loan Law permits US to charge sub
stantially more than this. Some finance
companies do charge a higher rate.
We publish our rates and payments
to help you shop for loan.
Ifyouneed money for an emergency,
bring your problem to Household. Or
Just phone for information. We are
here to serve you. Phone or visit US
without obligation.

What Smoke Means

Color will identify the cause of the
smoke coming from the exhaust of
the car, reports the National Auto
mobile club. A blush or gray
smoke is traceable to an excess of
oil getting past the piston rings. The
black smoke means there is too
much gasoline in the mixture.

Screen Rights Sold
For Saratoga Trunk"

A N all-time record was set re-
n Gently in the sale of the screen
rights TO Edna Ferber's memorable
novel Saratoga Trunk" now be-
ing serialized in Cosmopolitan
magazine.
The novel was sold to Warner
Brothers for S175,000 topping high
mark made ten years ago by another
Edna Ferber story, "Cimmaron,"
which also appeared in Cosmopoli-
tan. Unique is the clause in Miss
Ferber's contract which provides
that these rights revert to her after
five years have elapsed. Seldom is a
book bought for the screen before
it is published, but in the c2se of
Saratoga Trunk" the r. were
sold before when only one of six
installments had appeared in Cos
mopolitan.
After months of research in New
Orleans where much of the action
takes place, Miss Ferber fell in
love with the ancient city which
has its roots in Continental culture.
Plans are now under way to make
a musical comedy of the story be-
fore it reaches the screen

allotment, and is placed on the
market or fed to livestock on the
farm. In view of this new federal
ruling, therefore, all wheat buyers
and nillers are being cautioned to
either buy wheat only from those
farmers who have white marketing
cards, or to determine that the
penalty tax of 40 cents a bushel
has been paid by the producer be-
fore the wheat is purchased, as this
will be a protection for both the
farmer and the buyer. Another
phase of the program of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton this summer includes the des
ignation of Delaware and Maryland
as an area where the deductions for
exceeding the general and total de-
pleting acreage allotment will not
be applicable in 1941, due to
drolbht conditions. Under this plan
farmers may plant for emergency
feed purposes any acreage they
may desire in depicting crops, with
the exception of special allotment
crops, without mourning any deduc-
tions from the 1941 payments
which they may otherwise earn on
their farms.

The Bureau of Markets of the
State Board Of Agriculture calls
the attention of the apple growers
in Delaware to the fact that the
last Legislature amended the law
pertaining to the marking of all
closed packages of apples. The
present law requires that all closed
packages of apples sold, offered for
sade, consigned, shipped or trans
ported must be marked with the
owners name and address, variety,
and esize or range of sizes. This
law does not require that the grade
of the apples be stamped on the
closed package, but does specify
that if the grade is marked on the
closed package, the apples must
meet that grade. Federal-State in
spection service will be provided by
the Bureau of Markets as usual
and inspectors will be located at
the various police stations to in
spect all closed packages which are
marked to indicate the grade, un-
less the shipment is accompanied
by certificate issued by an inspec-
tor at the packing house.

Astronomers Tests Show
Speed of Earth Cut Down

PASADENA, CALIF.-A recent
experiment on the speed with which
the earth is travelling around the
galaxy of solar bodies by Astrono-
mer Ralph E. Wilson, of the Mount
Wilson observatory, has established
that this speed is not as great as
previously estimated.
Dr. Wilson reached his new con-
clusion after looking at stars 1000
parsecs, or 10 trillions, Of miles
away. The check showed that the
earth is moving 1873 miles a second
around the center of the galaxy.
This rate equals IL, ,280 miles a min
ute.
Previously it had been estimated
the earth's speed around the center
Of the galaxy was 13 miles per Sec
ond faster than stars 1000 parsecs
farther out, but the new observa-
tions have cut this to 11.6 miles per
second.
The study of gas clouds in the in
ter-stellar space resulted in the new
figures.

WHEAT BUYERS
MEET AT DOVER
Explain Procedure to Be Fol-
lowed in Buying Wheat Un-
der Marketing Quota Plan
GROWERS GIVEN CARDS

For the purpose of explaining
the procedure to be followed this
year in purchasing wheat under
the marketing quota plan of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, a conference of wheat buy
ers and millers in Kent county was
held recently in the State Board of
Agriculture building in Dover The
meeting was called by County
Agent Russell E. Wilson, secretary
of the Kent County Agricultural
Conservation Association, and was
presided over by r. Harry Wilson,
chairman of the county agricultur-
al conservation committee. Wheat
marketing quotas, which became
effective as the result of the wheat
referendum vote on May 81 of this
year, were discussed by r. o. Stel-
zer, state executive officer for Della
ware and Maryland for the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton. Under this plan each wheat
grower will receive a marketing
card which must be presented to
the individual or firm which pur-
chases wheat this year. These
carde are now being prepared in
the county Office for distribution to
all wheat growers, and white cards
will be issued to those farmers
whose wheat acreage is within
their 1910 allotment, emitting them
to sell all the wheat that is produc-
ed on the allotted acreage during
the 1941 harvest season, or any
wheat which they have in storage
Those wheat growers, however who
over-planted their allotted wheat
acreages last fall, and who harvest
this excess wheat, will be subject
to a penalty of 49 cents bushel
for each bushel of wheat that is
produced on the acreage over the

Civilian Conservation Corps

The Veterans Administration,
Philadelphia, Pa, expects an enroll
ment for Veterans in the Veterans
contingent of the Civilian Conser-
walton Corps to take place July 1
to 20, 1941 in the State of Della
ware. Any honorably discharged
veteran who served in the armed
forces of the United States during
war is eligible for enrolment if he
is a citizen of the United States,
is physically able to do ordinary
manual labor in a work camp and
is unemployed. Former honorably
discharged enrollees of the Civilian
Conservation Corps are ineligible
for re-selection for three months
from date Of last discharge. Any
interested war. veteran should for
ward his name and address to H. j.

ministration, Custom House, Sec
ond and Chestnut Streets, Philadel-
phia, Pa.

Because of laxity in enforcing
immigration laws, Secretary of
Labor Francis Perkins was brought
to impeachment proceedings in
1888. She was acquitted, but
sharply reprimanded and the I'm
migration Service has since been
transferred to the Department of
Justice. Still, Keyhoe AYERS that the
entire system needs Tightening.
A recent government estimate
reveals that there are at least
100000 aliens illegally in this
country. Some experts triple this,
but in this group are known Nazis
and Fascists sent here to swell the
Fifth Column. Many Of these may
not be deported because of hazard
Gus sea travel. Others remain here
because their countries refuse to
accept them.
"New legislation, no matter how
tight, will not be enough unless
government policy is stiffened all
down the line" Keyhoe concludes.
"The infltration has already be-
gun. To eliminate this menace, our
system Of alien control will be
taxed to the limit. Unless that sys-
tenn is purged relentlessly Of
enemies, alien spies will continue
to mock our laws
Smyrna times., 1941-06-26

in safeguarding the nation in these
perilous times; : "Why don't we
deport criminal aliens?"
Every month, Keyhoe asserts,
more alien criminals come out of
our prisons. immigration officials
take them into custody, if their
crime is such as to call for deporta-
tion. Hearings are held; they are
ordered deported, are briefly de-
tained-and turned free, three times
out of four. Although a 1920 act
specifically excludes all aliens who
advocate or support in any way
opposition to organized govern
ment, this statute has been repeat
edly ignored.
In this way thousands of Com
munists are acting as agents of the
Soviet government in this country.
Because they have been denied
citizenship by Russia for the ex-
press purpose of keeping them
active in the United States, they
have been allowed to remain here
and have become labor agitators,
organizing "goon squads" to beat
up American workmen who oppose
Communist plans. Keyhoe points
out in his article that through
bribery and threats of exposure,
they have secured the active ser
vice Of many another alien criminal.

eral minutes.
John FARRELL, one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of
Thoroughfare Neck, died near Dea-
kyneville on Friday in his 18th
year. His remains were inferred
at Friendship on Monday. He lost
his wife a year or so ago. They
were also people of the single
minded type.
Wheat harvest which was delay
ed by the rains and colder weather
after Thursday was started in this
section this week The crop is said
to be fairly good, the heads being
well filled and the grains being
large and plump. Farmers expect
to receive an even dollar per bushel
in the home markets.
A person can keep reasonably
cool this hot weather by the use OF
a little common sense. Don't inn
bibe too freely of ice water; par
take sparingly of heavy fod in the
middle of the day; don't watch the
thermometer, and you will find
yourself as comfortable as you can
when the Thermometer reaches
ninety. =.
George Brockson, Clayton
|storekeeper happened to rise early
on Thursday morning and found his
store on fire. The flames were ex-
tinguished, and he is now more
than in favor Of rising early. His
loss was mostly from smoke, the
close, smothered condition being
the onl ything that saved the house
from destruction.
Last Sunday was a laundering
day. 1t commenced laundering be-
fore Church time, and kept it up
more or less until the day was
closed. The heaviest dash of rain
fell shortly after the people had
assembled in the churches, with
several heavy craches of thunder.
That of the afternoon was distant
rumbling, with light showers here.
We were shown a few days ago
a copy of the Ulster County Ga
zette, which bears the date, Janu-
airy 4th, 1900 over 81 years old. 1t
is about twelve by sixteen inches in
size. The chief feature of attrac-
tion is its deep mourning lines
(black lines about a quarter of an
inch wide) for General George
Washington who had departed
this life on the 14th of December,
1799"-two weeks before. 1t con-
tains the action of Congress in re-
lation thereto as well as some very
good poetry written by young
lady. The paper is in possession of
Mrs. Susan Wells, and is much
priced for its antiquity.
