SEE LITTLE CHANGE IN PRICES OF BEST FARMS DURING 1957 Baptised ^ One month old Rosary Ann Alesi was received into the Catholic church last Sunday at St. Patrick's parish by Father Edward Coakley. ^Godparents for this happy occasion were Don and Ann Guinta. We congratulate the parents, Vince and Genevieve; a new house and a first baby, all in one month. Before and after the actual christening, for which Rosary wore a white nylon pleated gown, a house full of friends and rela- Prices of Illinois farms with highly productive land will hold steady during 1957, Charles L. Stewart, University of Illinois land economist, forecasts. But farms, with medium to low crop yields will find their prices shading off by this time next year, Stewart predicts. Two very bearish items in the land price picture are rising interest rates and taxes. Stewart believes that the upward push in interest rates isn't over yet. Taxes on Illinois farm real estate are among the highest' in the midwest, he points out. On the other hand, most farmers must still increase their acreage to reduce their costs per unit of product. This is because of high costs of machinery. and labor which must be spread oyer larger production to keep lifiit costs down. As a result, land is being purchased to enlarge present farms. ' Some . other upward pressures on land prices which Stewart sees are toll roads in some local areas, high purchasing power from the cities and cotinued price supports. t P AT. HOME AND SAVE ANNOUNCE NEW J. , NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR MOTOR TITLES , Siecretairy "of State Charles'" F. Carpentier has announced the use of a new , system of numbering motor vehicle certificates of title, using a coded number instead of a straight numerical progression. Since the nevV numbers will con tain symbols indicating the year the title is issued, the year model of the vehicle, the make of the vehicle and a portion of the factory number, it will no longer be necessary to maintain the present motor number file, which will in turn reduce from five to four the number of dexigraph copies to be made of the registration card. This will result in savings conservatively estimated at more than $40,000 a year, although tfoey will not be realized until the transition period from the old system to the now is completed, Secretary Carpentier said. In addition, the space gained by elimination of the motor number file will provide more efficient access to the title file. Secretary Carpenter said the new system was recommertded by the National Records Management council, which is conducting a survey of the entire state government's record keeping procedures . As an example of how the new title numbers will be determined, Mr. Carpentier said a person who purchases a 1950 Ford with factory number M6DX135421 in 1957 would be assigned title number A50F5421. The "A" in the number indicates that the title was issued in 1957, the "50" is the year model of the car, the "F" indicates the car is a Ford, and "5421 "are the last four digits in the factory number. In 1958, the title numbers will start with "B", in 1959 they will start with "C". Truck title numbers will have a "T" suffix, trailers will haVe a "TR" prefix, motorcycles an "MY" prefix, and all makes of vehicles not having separate code designations will have an "X" prefix, Secretary Carpentier said. t The* numbering system is so simple no reference charts will be needed by employees of the Title division and very little must be committed to memory, Mr. Carpentier said.

AUXILIARY NEWS : I By Alyee Brda FARM NEWS Monday evening, J'an. 14, the auxiliai-y held its regular meeting despite the sub-zero temperature. This was the first meeting- sinfce Nov. 26, so there was a lot of business to attend to. - -% Motions were made and seconded to contribute to the March of Dimes, the cancer fund and to CARE. It. was also decided to. continue our contribution to the Foster Parent Plan for another year. As you may know, our 'foster child is a little Italian girl and the letters we receive from her are full of sincere gratitude and love for all the girls who write to her. The Christmas party for thfr- Downey patients was vey ably planned and carried out, and just to see the relaxed, quiet happiness of the boys made all the effort put into it worthwhile. i Jen. 21 there will be a joint meeting. Besides being just a gettogether of the post and auxiliary' members, these meetings might be classed as "get it otf your Chest" night. If more members would attend you would see how both post and auxiliary would appreciate and fx? glad to hear your views on subjects brought up on the floor. The Annual Mothers March on Polio is scheduled for Jan. 31. The McHenry County chapter needs at least $35,000 to continue its great work. I don't believe we realize what great work this fund does.

Got your '57 dues paid yet? Should Credit ' Terms Be Eased? Interest rates are the highest in more than twenty years. Money is tight. Prices of industrial products and the cost of living are going up. These facts should be of concern to everyone who borrows money or who has life insurance, a savings account or a social security number--and that is all of us. All ot us should be concerned about why these things are happening, and what, if anything, should be done about them. First, why is the cost of living creeping up? The cost of living is going up because there is a persistent trend toward inflation. Inflation is an excess' of demand over supply. That is, at present prices more people want to buy than to sell. Buyers are taking the full output of most of our mines and factories apd asking for more. There are mpre good jobs than good workers to fill them. While business generally is very active, a few industries, notably home construction, are not running at record levels. Some home builders complain that money is too tight--some would-be buyers cannot find money to finance the houses they would like to buy. Potential buyers of other things also sometimes have difficulty in getting credit. This brings forth statements that money is tight, and demands that the government, or somebody, do something to make money more readily, available. We can all be sympathetic with the young couple who want to buy a house, the farmer who wants new equipment, and the business man who wants to enlarge his factory. At the same time we must consider what the general results would be if more and easier credit were made available. Our present suppry or buying: power is sufficient to take prae* tically the full output of our mines, oil wells, steel mills and factories. More credit would make more pimple able to buy, but, it would not increase the supply of good workers nor boost industrial production. It would boost demand without increasing supplies. In other words, more and easier credit at this time would only bring on more inflation., Thus our monetary authorities ^lave good reason for not making credit, easier to obtain. f * The constitution of the United States gives Congress the responsibility for ci-eating and regulating the value of money. Congress has established twelve' federal reserve banks to supply the nation with money and to regulate its value. The general policies of these banks are established by a Board of Governors of the Federal R e s e r v e S y s t e m . T h e r e s e r v e banks control the supply of money through the terms and conditions upon which they make loans to the commercial banks. These banks Classified Ads are Read t>y Everyone!

If and when the demand for industrial products eases off so that we have more products than buyers, then it will be-tiroe-lo -ease credit restrictions. « It is, of course, no easy matter to decide just when credit should be tightened up to check inflation and when it should be made more abundant to permit desirable growth and development of our economy. Then, too, some industries may need additional credit, while others have so much that excessive speculation or expansion is encouraged. Despite these difficulties!, monetary authorities appear to have been remarkably successful in stabilizing prices and employment in recent years, 1952-55. We should note, however, that from mid-1955 to October, 1956, prices of industrial products climbed 7 percent. The federal reserve board believes that to make more and easier credit available now would , bring on more undesirable inflation without providing countervailing benefits. Their point of view is worthy of us our serious considera*. VFs tion.
