WHAT TO DO BEFORE
YOU GET LOAN

THERE are some money problems
L a loan can't solve. So before YOU
borrow be sure that a loan is the one
best way out of your difficulty. If
you do get loan, borrow only as
much as you really need and plan to
pay it back promptly to reduce the
cost. This is certainly one time not to
be in debt if you can avoid it.
Borrow without endorsers
Household Finance makes essential
loans-on salary, car or furniture-to
men and women with jobs. You may
borrow $50 to $500 quickly, privately
and without endorsers-and repay in
monthly instalments on the schedule

Two YOUNG BOYS
HAVE AUTO SPREE

Two 15-year old boys went for an
automobile ride Tuesday night in
a borrowed car. And they liked 1t
SC well that they borrowed a cou-
pie more, but they just didn't get
back in time.
Gerald Morton, 205 Grace street
and Eugene Mauney had a long
story to tell police about their
nights escapades.
Morton reported that he and his
friend had climbed in the car Of
Lieut.. Smith and went for a ride,
returning in about As minutes. They
were preparing to park it in its
original space when Smith spotted
them returning with his car.
Under questioning, the boys re-
vealed that they borrowed a car
belonging to C. L. Davis, 116 Nun
Street earlier in the evening. It
was parked at Is South Eighth
street. They drove it to Chestnut
Heights school and left it. Morton
told police that after Smiths car
was picked up, he drove Mauney
10 Pill Creecy avenue where Maui
ney wanted to get him an automo-
bile. But he was unable to break
the lock on a car belonging to Lon
ME Johnson.
Mauney declared that he Their
got into an automobile owned by
Lieut.. Highland, 2111 Creecy, anc
backed 1t out of the yard. The
motor choked, so he jumped Out
and ran to join his friend in Lieut. s
Smiths car.
The two boys will be brought be
fore Juvenile Court, where they
will be questioned further about thu
oveninp driving

Sidedressing Corn
Sidedress corn with nitrogen
Gus fertilizer for increase in
yield. We have reliable infor-
nation indicating that we shall
continue to have a shortage of
grain for feed and the chances of
securing grain from without the
State will be difficult for the
duration of the war. Because of
this situation, it is imperative that
we make every effort to increase
our corn yield this year.
Sidedress corn with at least 200
pounds of nitrate of soda, or it's
equivalent, when the corn is 2
feet high or 6 to 8 weeks after
planting. If nitrate of soda is
not available you will probably
be able to get Calnitro and A. N.
L. Tests have shown them to be
good sources of nitrogen. Eighty
pounds of these materials supply
the same amounts Of nitrogen as
100 pounds of nitrate of soda.
Cover the sidedressing material
by cultivation soon after applica-
ton. Late sidedressing when the
corn begins to shoot or tassel will
not give the best yields. When
heavy rains leach out the nitro
gen, another application should
be made. Many farmers in the
county report an increase of to
10 bushels or more per acre per
100 pounds of nitrate of soda US
ed. This is a good investment
and the best assurance of a feed

not been available since the war
began, and less rationing of all
kinds.
The blame for this attitude is
put on the shoulders of both gov
eminent and industry. Spokes-
men for both have, from time to
time, issued statements which in
innate that we have great over
supplies of many products, that
manpower is less of a problem,
that the armed forces are getting
all the men they need, that mar
ried men over 80 will not now
ever be drafted, and that the
threat of initiation is no longer
serious.
With this attitude having grown
up among the people, it is diff
cult for congress to give the con-
sideration which military leaders
insist they should give to such
legislation as the "war work or
be drafted" bill which is being
debated by the senate military af-
fairs committee. And congress
is even finding considerable op-
position to such things as con-
tinuing the activities of the Of
flee of Price Administration on
HI civ 1orooo,o+ ooo1o
With all of congress anxious to
end the present session as quick
ly as possible it looks now as
though, if there are new regula-
tionS to come, most of them won't
be seriously considered until af-
ter the election.
Having put through the new
tax bill, which puts pay-as-you-
go on practical basis and will
end, in January, the need for any
more complicated reports by the
great majority of people, congress
is expected to direct recess to the
many appropriation bills which
must be approved to continue
paying for our war program. On
most of them there will be little
debate, since most congressman
refuse to oppose appropriation
bills which have a ''for war" tag
on them.
