Cooper, former governor of Ohio, pictured here. The overalls he exhibits bear 44 lags, one for each bidden federal tax borne unknowingly by the farmer or laborer who buys them. "The Republican party sees that not only is farm income too low, but farm taxes are too high," says Gov. Cooper.

"Not in our house," replied Mr. Meekton. "I make it a point to see jthat Henrietta has the first word so that I can agree as intelligently as possible." Washington, D. C.--Mortgages on 11,438 farms were foreclosed during 1935 under the New Deal, records Of the Farm Credit administration here show. This is more than two and one-half times the number of such foreclosures in 1934, and 1,399 more than in 1932. One farm in - every ten is now under mortgage to the United States. The federal government, according to the records, owned 27,516 farms at the end of 1935, roughly 5,000 more than it owned at the Same time the year before. All had been seized through foreclosures. Despite the large increase in foreclosures, 128,457 or approximately one-fifth cf the loans of the FCA on Dec. 31, 1935 were delinquent. By ruling of the FCA on February 1, .1935, this did not include loans upon which an extension had been granted. Critics of the New Deal policies pointed out that the government was paying bounties to farmers, presumably to' keep them solvent, at the same time that it was foreclosing on thousands mpre farm mortgages than it had the year before.

He will remain in Walker and at his St. Paul offices. See Rise in U. S. Imports of Corn Washington, D. C--More corn will have to be imported from Argentina this year, because of the shortage of the American crop, the bureau of economics of the Department of Agriculture predicts. Some officials indicated the total would reach 50 million bushels, or nearly double the 27 million bushels which came into the United States from Argentina during the year ended June 30, 1936. The bureau avoided mentioning the crop reductions of the New Deal s "scarcity" program--ascribing the shortages entirely to the drouth. With September corn selling at $1.14, there were evidences of dissatisfaction among Middle Western farmers whose sealed corn loans had been called in during June by the agricultural administration^ which demanded immediate pay- . ment and refused time extensions. "I have proof that in one Iowa county alone 136 loans involving approximately 150,000 bushels of corn were paid prior to July 1, 1936, due solely to instructions contained in a letter sent to banks by thfe Commodity Credit corporation," Sen. L. J. Dickinson of Iowa said. "The majority of. this corn was sold at around 40 to 50 cents a bushel. "Had it been possible to have held this corn farmers of that county could have realized a| least another 50 cents a bushel, or approximately $75,000." Sen. Dickinson told of the futile attempts of some Iowa banks, through which farmers had sealed their corn, to obtain extensions in cases where it was apparent such extensions would save the corn producers hundreds of thousands oi dollars. • THE RICOCHET BEFORE AND AFTER ROObC'-«s>Vc\ 5752 IMS, by TM CUOWO TritaM "That woman has driven her hu*> -tend nearly Insane with her extravagance." • ;* "He wag dippy about her before be married her.": ' ; . ! • • • ' • * • D i f f i c u l t A d v i c e t "Canyou laugh at misfortune,.

Associations Collaborate in Investigation LOAN SERVICES STUDIED Activities of the Government in the Banking Field Are Reviewed and Position of' Banks Analyzed NEW YORK.--Detailed bank researches, covering all phases* of •practical operating and economic facts and Cbhditions related to banking, are be* ing made hy the American Bankers Association. The resulting material is being placed at the disposal of all state banking associations, which in many instances are extending the researches of the national association in their own states. These activities are said" to be a part, of the "general. program of banking development which is being carried on by the organized banking business. " '* Among the .'tnost---extensive •• re» searches being" conducted' by the American . Bankers Association is that of its Committee on Banking- Studies,-which is .making a detailed survey of Federal Government lending agencies and policies. The basic material, which is kept up to elate by continuing studies, shows where'the Government agencies get the money, they lend, what liability the Government assumes, what subsidy it extends, what return it gets, for what and to whom the money goes and on what terms it is loaned. The Government in Banking "It is not the intention of the committee to express its viewpoint about ahy agency," says the foreword to this material. "Its intention is only to determine the facts. These facts pijoperly assembled and presented should help banks to meet Government competition if and where it exists. The committee believes the Government entered the lending field at a critical period in order to aid banks and financial institutions. If the.time has come *for the Government to withdraw, it is the duty of bankers *o demonstrate their readiness to take care of all sound credit needs." It adds that the banks must be equipped with full factual material as to the Government's emergency lending activities and practices, and that full cooperation has been given the committee by Government agencies in obtaining facts. Binders of the material gathered have been placed by the committee in the hands of state associations. Investigation of Postal. Savin?* The Committee on Banking Studies has also made a survey of the Postal Savings System throughout the United States to ascertain to what extent it is competing with chartered banks. Questionnaires were sent to banks in all places where Postal Savings depositories are operated and their answers will be analyzed as a basis for the committee's findings. The Bank Management Commission of the American Bankers Association has made a nation-wide survey covering the movement among banks to increase their earning abilities "through fair and legitimate rates for services they render their depositors." It has developed a plan of account analysis as a basis of fair charges. MA1' business in order to justify its existence is founded ori the economic principle that a reasonable return should be expected from services rendered," the commission says. Personal Income Loans. The Bank Management Commission has also formulated methods for installing and operating personal income loan departments in banks "This plan contemplates making loans primarily to individuals and small business concerns, based upon the character and assured incomes of the borrowers, as distinguished from the usual basis for 'commercial loans,' " the commission says. It points out that a large part of the population is not now making use of available bank credit and that "to these people the personal loan department extends a valuable service which at the same time is profitable to the bank." It adds that it is "the duty of the banks to educate the public to come to the bank for all financial services. Small borrowers should be informed that the local bank is willing to care for their demands." Other Researches Sources of Oils and Pats The edible fats and oils come from various antmal and vegetable sources. Butter, lard and suet are animal fats. Oleomargarine Is made from either animal or vegetable fats and oils. Salad oils and cooking oils are of vegetable origin. Some of them are from the seeds of plants--corn oil from the germ portion of the grain of corn, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, Soybean oil, sesame seed, poppy seed, rape seed, sunflower oils--all these are from the seeds of plants of the same name. Coconut oil, palm oil, palm-kernel oil / and babassu oil are from the seeds, fruit,, or nuts o( palms. Olive oil, however, is from the'ripe fruit of the olive tree. Federal Ransom.'; ,.
