A window frame properly constructed keeps cut dirt and drafts by making-a weathertight joint with the wall. A window frame indifferently constructed will allow as much as 174 cubic feet of air per hour to leak into your home, air that is often loaded with dust, to dirty up walls and cause drafts. Good Construction Oasts Little , Wide blind Stop construction in window frames has been in use for many jeiws, yet jen^r builders will use frames without it in order to cat cost without regard to consequences. ThiV type of construction costs about S0< to 60c more per window opening than ordinary construction and H will quickly pay for itself in heat saved and added comfort. Window Frames Permanent Remember window frames art a permanent part oi the wall in your new home. To tear them out and| replace them is not only a mess but a big expense as well. The easiest way td avoid leaky window frames in your new home is to buy frames that make a weathertight wall joint and that means wide blind stop construction.

WASHINGTON.--Farm mortgage foreclosures, which led to rioting in several communities .a few years ago, have declined to the lowest point in 10 years, the department of agriculture has revealed. The debt position of farmers has improved considerably since 1935, the report compiled by the bureau of agricultural economics said. Land values have increased and the total farm real estate debt has declined to the lowest point in 20 years. During the year ended last March 1, only 16.8 of every 1,000 farm owners lost their land through forced sales, foreclosure and tax sales. This compared with 17.4 farms the previous year and 28.3 in the year ended March 1, 1935, when foreclosures ptarted to become less frequent. Farms Change Hands. Most of the forced sales last year were due to mortgage foreclosures, bankruptcy or transfers of titles to avoid foreclosures. The bureau reported 13.4 farms in each 1,000 changed hands because of one of those difficulties. In 1935 the number was 21 per l,QGfl farms. The number of forced sales en account of delinquent taxes was 3.4 per 1,000 last year, compared with 7.3 in 1935. Forced sales of farms to meet taxes has declined to the lowest point since 1926, the bureau said. Farms changing tiands through voluntary sales and trades were estimated at 28.2 per 1,000 in the 12 months ended in March this year, as compared with 29.9 in 1938 and 19.4 in 1935: Last year was the fifth consecutive year in which voluntary sales increased. Using the years 1912-1914 as an- index of 100 in computing land values of the last few years, the bureau reported an increase from 73 in 1933 to 84 in 1939. Values Increase in East. The increase during this period was most marked in the Sduth Atlantic and East South Central states, where values rose 26 and 30 points respectively on the index figure. The bureau reported a continued decline in farm mortgage debt during the last five years from $7,800,- 000,000 on January 1, 1935, to $7,100,- 000,000 on January 1, 1939. That was the smallest debt since 1919. Foreclosures last year were heaviest in the thickly populated farm areas. In New England the foreclosure rate per 1,000 farms dropped from 18 in 1935 to 12»7 last year, while the West North Central states comprising most of the corn and wheat belts, dropped from 40.6 to 26.9 per 1,000 farms. Foreclosures in the middle Atlantic states declined from 23.9 to 13.5 per 1,000. farms in the four years. East North Central states foreclosures dropped from 23.5 to 13.5 and South Atlantic states from 24.5 to 13.4. The West South Central declined fium 22.9 to 15.5; mountain states from 35.7 to 24.2 and the Pa* cific coast states from 24.6 to 17.5.

Ow*** vour Rubber Stamps efeThe Plaindealer. Washin Haiti--1 Editorial '• ' ^ . J i iNftTknr , i Slid Washington, Feb. 28--After some months of jockeying it appears that Congress is now in the mood to attempt to trim the sails of the multitude of government agencies. The long undercover battle conducted by an organized bureaucracy against proposed reforms has broken out with consideration by the House of Representatives of the so-called Walter bill which provides for the more expeditious settlement of disputes with the Federal government. The controversy has temporarily overshadowed Congressional interest in reciprocal trade agreements, economy progams and* national defense. j Yet is it not exactly a partisan mat-! ter for the abuses of , bureaucratic powers have grown up under succeeding administrations due in part to the failure cf Congress to provide uniform procedure for administrative agencies with the resulting indescribable confusion. The higher-ups among the Federal employeos are out to scuttle the legislation because it is hard to submit to restrictions after years ©f uncontrolled discretion on matters in their jurisdiction. They are courting a Presidential veto in event the bill reaches the White House, but backers of the measure feel Mr. Roose.1 velt could not consistently turn down this streamlining project after so much ado about the need for re-organization of governmental departments.: The scandals concerning the admin-! istration of the National Labor Re-' lations Act have reached the point where, its defenders feel the need of quick action. Already Senator Wagner of New York, sponsor of the original law, has sent up trial balloons o^p an amendment to provide machinery for the settlement of labor disputes through mediation. The bill in its present form ic not acceptable to various grouns, but it is .likely to be revised. The Administration realizes that the opposition party has a -food politial football in the current expose of the N.L.R.B.. which leads them to propose amendments rather than risk wholesale revision bv Congressional critics. It is claimed that the N.L.R B. has been more concerned with obtaining bargaining rights than W'th settlements of labor troubles. Employers and workers generally have indicated their belief that the National Labor Relations Act is a lopsided Dieoe of legislation. There is some doubt that the Wagner amendments will be considered stiff enough to correct abuses of discretionary power by the present board. The House is more disposed to curb the agencv than the Senate, although the latter cannot long iernore the rumpus developed by the House committee investigation. There is a diversity of opinion as to the economic effects of the war on tits United States. The latest contriba- " tion is from Milo Perkins, President of the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation, who told the National" Farm Institute a day or two ago that "if the war lasts well have most of the world's tpld, and just what other nations wilt, flse for money to buy the things they may want to buy fro* us, no one seems to know." Brother Perkins criticized the organized farm groups opposing ,the Admiaistration's trade agreement prograsi and inferred that many people are all a "mental sit-down strike. 'Incident, ally, he revealed that "the sixty-fiva-- ,, per cent of our families living on aim average of sixty-nine dollars a month need twice that much income for a - • minimum standard of living." Per* kins said, "The unsatisfied wants at two-tihrds of our people make up the greatest new market that has ever loomed before our business men our farmers, it's right in our ow« backyard." y, > It appears that the farmer is not"-. as appreciative of Uncle Sam's efforts to extend the helping hand as is e%^..r pected. The Rural Electrification Ad* ministration report shows that "son*#/ of the users, once service is assure^/ take their time about connecting up/*";;./ It is a costly problem for the govenrfc j> ' ment which frequently builds povaf~ lines into sparsely settled areas shuri».,> ned by private companies. The report- ; states, "Inevitably the soundness of . the loans in the 'thinner' areas wilt, depend in part upon the economic condition of the American farmer during the next twenty-five years." They " anticipate "the utimnte R.E.A. losses should be small." The record slytwv however, that the govern ment-financ- • ed power projects have brought luxuries to farmers never before obtainable at any price. i For two hours a stranger chatted with Oscar Olson, parking lot owner in Chicago, and then Olson remarked it was time to count the night's receipts. "Let me help," said the stranger, who then drew a gun, took : fifteen dollars, and escaped. DON'T SLEEP WHEN GAS PRESSES HEART If you can't eat or sleep h«ciu*e. gas bloats you un try ADLER1KA.

Gonruft the, Japanese Soften Flier Synonym; Rule Out 'Eagle* TOKYO.--Japanese army and navy officers have suddenly . found themselves face to face with a perplexing problem in ornithology. Until a few weeks ago Japanese newspapers were in the habit of calling s army and navy aviators "wild eagles." This had a resound ing martial sound and generals and admirals beamed. However, an un known patriot thumbing ^through a z o o l o g y r e f e r e n c e t e x t b o o k one d a j discovered that eagles are birds o: prey who "kill all they can lay the.r talons on." ^ This didn't seem like proper pub* licity for the aviators and the "eagle" was about to become the "phoenix," a mythical bird, when it was realized the word sounded altogether too similar to the name of one of Japan's most famous wrestlers. Afraid of possible confusion in the public mind as to whether the nation's aviators were shooting down Chinese planes or practicing half nelsons, the suggestion was rejected. Officers are now busy trying to find a suitable bird to name the airmen after. Heatless Light Nearer, Says Japanese Scient'st TOKYO.--A young Japanese lab oratory Worker claims to have made substantial progress in the scientific quest for a method of producing heatless light. Hiroshi Nakamura. 29-year-old re search worker in the botanical section of Tokyo Imperial university's science department, announced that he had discovered a nutrient that will prolong the life of luminous bacteria found in sea water. s He said that he had been able to prolong the light-giving period from 10 days to more than six months, and also to intensify the quality of illumination. Japan, which seems destined for a long period of war-time conditions, was interested in the news not only because of the remote possibility of general illumination but because heatless light would be particularly valuable in munitions factories and for use in interiors during air-raid "black out" periods. .
