DEADLINE SET ON SEED LOAN APPLICATIONS APRIL 26TH Assistant County Agent Best an nounced this week that the deadline on seed loan applications entered at the local office would be Wednes day, April 26.

PLAN AFFECTIVE AFTER JUNE 9TH MOTORISTS APPLYING BEFORE JUNE 9 WILL ECONOMIZE. All Drivers’ Licenses Issued Prior to June 1 1931, Expire Sept. 1, Also Every Year Thereafter. Here’s a tip for the thrifty mo- torist! Drivers’ licenses will sell for exactly twice the present price af ter June 9, the fee having been raised to one dollar under the new law which will become effective at that time. Those who get their licenses renewed before June 9 will not only save half the cost but will avoid the last minute rush which is certain to occur, reports Hal E. Hoss, secretary of state. The new Oregon motor vehicle law provides that all drivers' licens es issued prior to July 1, 1931, must expire on September 1, and every two years thereafter, beginning on June 30, 1935. This means that every operator carrying one of the old-type licenses must have it re newed before September and be cause there are some 400,000 driv ers affected by the law, the depart ment will be flooded with applica tions as the dead-line approaches. “Persons desiring to renew their operator’s cards before June 9 should secure an examiners’ schedule and an Oregon Motorist's Manual,” ad vises Secretary Hoss. "These may be obtained from state police, coun ty sheriffs, chiefs of police, news papers, or by writing to my office. No one should attempt to take the examination without first having carefully studied the information contained in the manual,” Mr. Hoss adds. Boy Scouts Set Goals. Named Assistant Editor.
