Weaver, extension agricultural en-
gineer of North Carolina State col
lege, or when the roof shows dark
discoloration, the galvanized roofing
should be painted with metallic zinc
paint. Before applying the paint.
the roof should be put in good physi-
cal shape and all cutters and low
places should be cleaned of fallen
leaves and dirt. If the roof has
been painted witt any kind of paint
previously, all loose and scaly parts
must be removed with a wire brush,

we shall be leaning on them as
we make important decisions.
Governor Leverett Saltonstall
of Massachusetts, in an article in
t h e Washington News Digest,
has this to say of the postwar
picture:
THE average citizen will look
to the postwar world to provide
him with a job. Jobs are the
basis for all home and family
life. They are symbols of the
best type of democracy.
while the retooling from war
to peace is in progress, the citi-
zen will expect his government
to take up the slack of unemploy-
ment. But the citizen will look
to private industry as the main
source of jobs. This means a
challenge to all individuals and
groups to exercise the same ini-
tiative ard imagination in Great
ing tools ard new machines in
times of peace as we do in war.
"This country has been built
from the bottom up and not from
the top down. Let us keep it so.
The individual citizen wants tc
feel that he is the most import
ant consideration in his govern
! ment's mind"

tinues:

Block, the anti.liquor crowd is lacking on
amendments to practically every military
appropriations measure in desperate effort
to secure prohibition or the nearest thing to
it they can force through Congress.
Rationing is playing into their hands and
gives them a good excuse, and no oppor-
tunity is missed to use this excuse in their
effort to limit the production and distribu-
ton of liquor of all types.
We can remember the days of prohibition,
when moonshine whiskey made quick for
tunes for bootleeeers, crooked politicians
and dishonest police officials. AS result we
claim we know what we want in the way of
liquor legislation and feel those at home
should wait until we return before initiating
further legislation or liquor control.

When Beaton speaks, he speaks as
the representative of great majority
of the people of the British Isles. In
his cooperative organizations in Scot
land are more than so per cent of all

Cooperative Congress represents a

arise in post war establishments.
According to Paul Cannon, demo.
cratic leader in the house: 1--WE dis
cussed the democratic party program
in all it's aspects and decided we must
agree on some definite form of legis-
lation to provide for the rehabilitation
of returning service men. This we
believe to be a paramount issue"
Cannon is a veteran of the last war
and has always been aligned with the
progressive and liberal groups in the
Legislature
In a joint statement. Representative
Cannon and Senator Plank, democrat
ic leader in the senate announced a
two-point program in line with which
bills would be submitted very shortly.
The program
l. Impound all surplus funds that
now exist in the state treasury or that
may be accumulated in the future.
2. Set up postwar planning board
to provide for the distribution of those
funds.

LENDING AGENCY

The Farmers Union Grain Terminal
Association now is the largest farmer
owned government lending agency in
the United States.
| During 1912 more than $4,000 north
west producers secured grain loans
through the Farmers Union Grain
Terminal Association. These govern
ment loans totaled over $22,250,OOO.
The farmers have found that they
can get the best service at the low
est cost through their own co-opera-
tives. Grain Terminal Association al
eminent loan program. An example
was the success it had in extending
the deadline for grain loans from
December to January.
! Bad weather and late fall rains de-
layed threshing in many parts of the
northwest. Many farmers didn't have
time to complete loan applications
before the December 81 deadline.
This situation was corrected when
M. W. Thatcher, general manager of
Farmers Union Grain Terminal Asso-
citation, got in touch with the depart
ment of agriculture III Washington.
AS result of this conference, Com
modify Credit Corporation, which han
dies the loans, extended the deadline
to January 81.
The first news that farmers had
of this extension was put on the air
over radio stations on December 20
by Farmers Union Grain Terminal
association.
Because the papers on these gov
eminent grain loans through Grain
Terminal Association are kept in the
st. Paul office, liquiiatioDs are ia
cil.tated. Any loan can be liquidated
on a moments notice.
This is important when the na,
ket for grain rises to a point whore
the farmer can gee better price by

de- Ian.
