Fasre -8 FARM LOAN MONEY FALLS FAR SHORT OF NEEDS OFF WASHINGTON. D. C April 8. It i3 expected that the Spokane farm loan bank will receive about $8,000,000 from bonds to be sold in this month and July, according to a letter re ceived Thurday by Senator McNary from the farm loan board. The board admits, however, that this amount will not go far in supplying the demands of the four state3 in the Spokane dis trict. The letter was written with refer ence to a request that the board send an engineer appraiser to examine the dam of Ochoco irrigation project, m central Oregon, with a view of pass ing on loan applications of settlers under the project which long have been pending. Engineer Appraiser McKittrick of the Spokane bank will be sent to the project at once to make the examination, the board promised. Explaining, however, the difficul ties of meeting all of the demands VDon the Spokane bank, the letter says: "The farm, loan board expects to offer a bond issue about April 15, at which time it is hoped to sell a substantial amount. This, in all prob ability, will be followed by another issue just as fast as the country will absorb it, probably in July. The de mand for money is very heavy, both in the country and in Wall street, and even if the farm loan board, is fortunate enough to sell a substantial amount of bonds in April, and more in July, that will mean not more than $8,000,000 to 19,000,000 for the Spo kane bank, which embraces the states of Montana, Idaho Washington and Oregon. "Oregon alone would like to use the major portion of this amount, so that j to be perfectly frank with - you It seems inevitable that there must be delays in eelaning up the accum lated and increasing demand. Our great problem is how to discriminate and how to spread out the money equitably over the different states." DIRECTOR OF DAIRY Discharged P. O.

April 8 Seven recommendations, chief among them creation of the veterans' service administration, to take charge of gov- ernment relief work among ex-service men and to be headed by a director general, responsible directly to the president, were contained in the re port submitted Friday to President Harding by his special commission in vestigating the care of verterans. . Charles G. Dawes of Chicago, chair man, told the president he believed that the . recommendations were sound. Early action by President Harding was expected. Recommendation No. 1 provided for the new agency and gave it. jurisdic tion over the bureau of war risk in surance, the rehabiliation division cf the federal board for vocational edu cation and such part of the public health service necessary to care fo disabled veterans. It also asked that a director-general assume charge with full authority. This provision would permit the lease or purchase of necessary hospi tal buildings. . Care was suggested in the farming of legislation creating the adminis tration in order to avoid present in consistencies. Request was made that no statutory limitations be placed on the director-general as to the number and salaries of his employes. Number 3 said that pending enact ment of new laws. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon should Issue orders to the heads of the public health and war risks bureaus authorizing the lat ter bureau to take charge of the . pub lie health activities and personnel en gaged in providing medical care for veterans. The effect would be to con solidate these bureaus under one head by executive order without delay. "'It cannot be too strongly empha sized," the report said, "that tlie de plorable failure on the part of the government properly to care for the disabled veterans is due largely to an imperfect organization of government al effort. There Is no one in control of the whole situation. "Independent agencies by mutual agreement endeavor to co ordinate their action, but in such efforts the joint action is too often modified by minor considerations and there is al ways lacking complete co-operation.

The man to whom thiP important mission is entrusted by you will re ceive the whole-hearted and enthubl astic support and co-operation of all veterans and all other patriotic Americans, -' "No cabinet officer or assistant sec retary burdened with other duties should be the one to whom the man charged with the welfare of the dis abled saviors should report. He should report directly to the presi dent."

NEWBERG, Or., April 7. Residents of this section were aroused about 10 o'clock Wednesday night by a sound like a loud explosion and a simultan eous concussion which shook houses and buildings for miles around. The cause of the phenomenon has not been determined although many believe it was the result of a meteor striking Parrett mountain, two and one-half miles east of the city. This theory wa3 advanced by Henry McGuire, who lives northeast of New berg. He said he had .gone out on the back porch of his home to get a drink of water and. that he saw the meteor fall. The noise, he said, followed an instant later. The same theory was upheld by a party of autoists. who said they were near the mountain at the time, and that the concussion was so violent that the gravel on the road was shak en as though the earth had been struck with a mighty hammer. Parrett mountain is a peak near Rex and is about two miles long and 1200 feet high. Mr. McGuire thought the meteor hit between Rex and the mountain and quite close. tf the high way.

To the naked eye the inner surfaces of your automoti!-; engine looks perfectly smooth. Under the magnifying gL?.s-i you will find that they are actually covered with millions ct sharp little , teeth. When the metal surfaces are covered with a substantial film of lubricating oil they slide readily by each other " When the heat of the engine turns part of 'the oil to j sediment, these little metal teeth are exposed. - Thea when the surfaces rub together there is friction. Friction means wear and expense. To keep these metal teeth covered it is essential that your lubricating oil resist heat so that sediment will not be formed. Veedol resists heat in an exceptional fashion because it is manufactured by the Faulkner Process. It reduces the arnorrnt cf sediment SO per cent. That means a substantial reduction in your operating cost. W e suggest that you try Veedol as we are certain that it will give you, better lubrication.
