BUYS TEXAS CATTLE

Alva Hill, Mt. Sterling, has re-
ceived a large shipment OF cattle
from Texas recently, purchased
directly from the range
Mr. Hill said that he found
scarcity of good cattle of the
kind needed for the grass in this
area. According to Mr.. Hill, due
to the high prices the ranchers
having been receiving for cattle in
recent years they have been max
ing large shipments and thereby
have reduced breeding stock.
He said that ranchers who norm
ally herded from 500 to 1,500 COWS
have reduced this TO from 300 to
1000 He also stated that one i'm
portant factor in the scarcity of
good cattle is caused by the ever
increasing shipment of cattle west
from Kansas City instead of the
normal flow of shipments east
Cattle shipped west to California
are fed on the bi-products of citrus
fruits.

Widows Of Vets
To Get Loans

Unremarried widows of veter-
ans who died as the result of SER
vices in World War II are made
eligible for CT home, farm and
business loans under the terms
of instructions issued by the Vet
Grams Administration to its field
offices.
Such unremarried widows be-
came eligible for VA-guaranteed
loans as the result of one of sew
eral amendments to the CT loan
provisions contained in the recent
ly enacted housing act of 1850.
Eligibility requirements for
such widows to receive CT loan
guarantees in general parallel
those governing death compen-
sation payable to widows of World
War II veterans.
The veterans must have served
in the armed forces at some
period between Sept. 16, 1910 and
July 25, 1947, and his death must
have been a result of service while
on duty, or from service-connect-
ed causes following discharge un-
der conditions other than dishon-
orable. Another condition is that
the widow must not have remar-
ried following The veterans death.
Widows who are eligible for CT
benefits because of their own SER
vice in the armed forces receive
no additional benefits as widows.
CT loans for home, farm or bus
mess purposes are made by pri-
vate lending instructions, with VA
guaranteeing the lender against
loss on portion of the loan.
One of the recent amendments
authorizes VA to make direct loans
to eligibles for home purchases
after July 19. 1850. in localities
where mortgage financing at 4
percent interest is not available.

REEVES Plea For
Parking Meters In
Mechanicsburq

Mayor Cheney Thursday re-
vived the parking meter issue in
Mechanicsburg, claiming the in
stallation Of the equipment is
necessary to save the city from
a serious financial plight.
He. saw only one other alter
native other than the installation
of parking meters-the submission
of bond issue to the electorate.
He said $4,000 already has beer
borrowed in anticipation of belat
ed county tax collections.
(Records at tie County Aud
itor's office in Crbana show that
Mechanicsburg shortly will get
S1400 in personal tax collections
and that soon thereafter more
than $4,000 will be forthcoming in
real estate taxes-both represent
ing first half collections. For the
second half collections of both
types of taxes, the total will be a
little less.)
On the parking meter proposal,
the mayor said that representa-
ives of two companies have Of
fered to install the meters at no
cost on a six, nine or II month
trial basis, claiming that each
meter would gross $3.50 per month.
The meters, he proposed, should
operate from 8 a. m. to s p. m.

Bingo has been declared legal
in Mechanicsburgs and Eagles
Aerie No. 2842 was TO proceed un-
molested with the game at the
lodge hall Friday night.
Mayor Joseph Cheney reported
Thursday he had been informed
by the state attorney generals
office that bingo is legal if the
proceeds go for charity. The
Eagles have assured the mayor
the net proceeds of the game will
go for charity.
Tension was high two weeks ago
when the mayor termed an an
nounced bingo game was illegal
gambling and that he would order
Police Chief Ira HALEY to arrest
sponsors of the game.
The expected arrests did not
materialiZe at that time, because
Delaware man bringing the nee
essary bingo equipment, failed

Construction plans for new
modern 125,000 bushel Marietta
Air-Cell Grain Elevator at Plain
City, Ohio, was announced today
by the Nau Grain Company.
This new installation will be
one of the largest of its kind
in central Ohio and will be erect
ed by The Marietta Concrete Corp.
of Marietta, Ohio. Plans call for
it to be in operation for the coming
grain harvest and to provide grain
producers the finest and fastest
grain handling facilities in addition
to large storage capacity.
The new elevator, as shown IN
the illustration, will be of the
Cluster-type design. The bins
will be so feet high with a head
house rising to a height of lis
feet. The layout of its facilities
will permit unusually fast service
Long lines of waiting which US
ually hamper delivery of grain at
the seasons peak will be eliminat-
ed and the inspection stations are
planned separately from the ele-
vator office to expedite handling
and movement.
There will be three driveways
into the new elevator area which
will allow three loads of grain
to be handled and dumped at any
one time. Each driveway will have
two dumps, a total of six The
dumps will handle up to 5000
bushels without elevation into the
the storage tanks. This feature
alone will make it possible TO speed
up all operations and to handle

any conceivable incoming amount.
The installation is to be dryer
equipped SO that all grades of grain
can be dried and conditioned be-
fore storing. The usual screw or
drag system for handling grain
has been replaced in this new
design by a belt conveyor system
which will present the inter-mix-
ture of grain.
Mr.. Francis A. Nau, Secretary
Treasurer of the Nau Grain
Company, stated that this needed
storage development is in keeping
with his company's policy of pro-
viding larger and more convenient
facilities to handle storage and to
adequately cope with the harvest
grain movements and demands
during the harvest season.
He also stated that the new
elevator will be operated in full
cooperation with the Governments S
present program of grain storage
and that negotiable ware house
receipts will be issued to farmer
producers who wish to obtain
loans on their grain crops.
The Plain City elevator will be
fully staffed and will be managed
by Mr.. Harold Hall. Its location,
in the rear of the present stru-
cture, is south of the Plain City
business district. 1t is convenient
ly located for incoming road traf-
fic, and grain shipment by rail
may be easily handled over the
additional railroad trackage being
