Legion to Quiz
Bankers on 81
Interest Rate

The American Legion is going
to question a group of bankers
and others at a session here
Tuesday on the general question
of CT interest rates.
The meeting will be held all
day in the national headquarters
at 1908 K street NV. It will
start at $50 am. and is expected
to elicit some searching ques-
tons on how adequately the
private banking industry Is
financing CT home purchases.
Among questions that probably
will be explored is whether the
Government will be left holding
the bag with its present owner
ship Of hundreds of millions Of
dollars worth of 4 per cent CT
mortgages, in case the CT inter-
est rate Is increased.
Such mortgages are owned by
the Federal National Mortgage
Association and are available for
resale to private industry In
case of an interest rate rise be-
yond the present 4 per cent rate,
the Government could be ex-
pected to sell few Of such mort
cages bearing interest at a lower
rate. in the opinion Of some
observers.

which will automatically take care
of such a problem at any distance,
for few or many animals and under
any weather conditions. So better
save this for your future needs.
The drawing shows the plan as
arranged for windmill, with the
pump forcing the water into large
stock tank with float controlled
shut off. When the tank is filled,
the float rises and closes the valve,
and the pump then forces the water
up into the barrel hung to the wind
mill pull-out chain until the weight
is sufficient to pull the windmill
out of the wind and stop it.
A small hole or leak in the barrel
lets the water leak out slowly, until
the weight no longer holds the mill
out of the wind and the pump starts
up again. If the tank is still full,
the mill will run until the barrel
again fills up and pulls it out of
the wind again. The size of the

tank and the rate at which the
barrel leaks should be adjusted to
the amount of livestock being pas
tured. This arrangement will work
just as well whether the tank and
windmill are close together or a
mile apart.
For an electric pump, a small
pressure tank replaces the barrel
of water to operate the cut-out
switch, and the pump will not cut
in again until the float at the stock
tank drops enough so the valve
opens and releases the pressure. To
prevent too frequent cutting in, the
float should drop several inches
before the valve opens. No time
switch is necessary, as the operation
is controlled entirely by water level
in the tank.
In winter the tank should be
covered and insulated and an cleo
trio tank heater installed which will
cut in when the water temperature
gets down to about 40 and cut out
at, say, about so degrees. Heating
cable, which can be controlled in
the same way, is also available to
put around the drinking holes.

LUBRIPLATE Lubricants resist
water, steam and certain acids. They
positively protect machine parts
against rust during use and during
'lay-up." This feature cuts repair bills
and parts requirements.

A little LUBRIPLATE Lubricant
goes a long way because it doesn't
break doaUn. 1t ''stays put" because of
its remarkable adhesive properties.
You use only a fraction of the grease
when you use LUBRIPLATE.

- By better fabrication and re-
duction of drag, LUBRIPLATE Lubricant
reduces fuel consumption and gives
better machine performance. The use
of LUBRIPLATE Lubricants will def
nitely increase the life-span of all farm
machinery.
LUBRIPLATE Lubricants provide SUI

Farmers, who often use as many as ten
different ordinary greases to satisfy
the different designation for various
equipment, welcome the simplicity of
the LUBRIPLATE LINE. Prove this your
self by using LUBRIPLATE No. 130-AA
for general greasing.
