Brokers and floormen on the Stock Exchange do their trading with a weather eye on the ticker. You can govern your own buying just as efficiently by watching the advertisements in this newspaper. Women who follow advertisements realize their news value. They learn what's new and smart and right in the field of fashion. Women who follow advertisements know when io buy. They're keen students of value, and quick to see a genuine bargain. Women who follow advertisements know that they can buy advertised goods with confidence. They know that merchants will not risk their reputations by adver tising inferior goods. Time and effort (as well as money) are saved by these women who read advertisements. They never need "to shop around." Advertisements are women's ticker tape. And wom en who keep their shopping eye cocked upon them will fill their wants to the proverbial "T." County Is Rehabilitated By Federal Investments (Editor's Note This Is the third of a aeries of articles snowing the economy, wisdom and other benefits of federal government Investment In Jackson county. The first two articles, published Sunday and Monday, dealt with the Irrigation districts of the Rogue River valley). One of the constructive effects of government Investment In Jackson county Is reflected In tax collections. In 1033 tax collections In Jackson county amounted to 9855,317.50. In the first three quarters of 1936 col lections totaled 81,139.822.17. To this may be added 9250,000 which is con sidered a conservative estimate of the payments for the remaining quarter. This makes an estimated to tal of 91,380,822.17 for 1036, repre senting an increase of 9534,504.67 over the tax collections of 1033. Back Taxes Paid In some Instances the payment of delinquent taxes was a requisite of government assistance. In the case of the Home Owners Loan corpora tion, for example, a portion of the loans in all instances was utilized In paying back taxes. The same was true of federal land bank and com missioner loans made to save farms through the refinancing of mortgages Another effect of government ex-! pendlture is shown in Jackson coun ty securities. In 1933 county warrants bearing 6 percent Interest were sell ing at a discount of 10 to 15 percent Today warrants bearing 5 percent Interest are quoted at a premium. The government, under the Roose velt administration, has expended 93,393.599 In Jackson county to aave homes, farms aru Irrigation dlstriots, to rehabilitate the unemployed, to assist communities build needed civic improvements, io help farmers oper ate their ranches, to aid families in financing the construction of homes under easy-term financing and to accomplish other human better ments. Loans To Be Repaid Much of the money Invested here will be recovered by the government so that Its purpose of rehabilitation will have been accomplished without monetary loss. For example, the se cured Investments made to save the Irrigation districts will all be repaid So also will other expenditures, pro jected as loans, be repaid to the gov ernment.
