MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1938. PAGE FIVE 30,502 COUPLES IN ITALY GIVEN 'BABYJOITIES' Loans Of Ten-Month Period Total Over $2,600,000 In Mussolini's Campaign To Increase Population. By ptewnrt Brown (United Press Staff Correspondent) ROME (UP) In the 10 months since the Institution of "baby loans." designed to Increase the birth rats, the fascist government has advanced more than t2.600.000 to 30.502 mar ried couples who want children but can't afford them. The effect of these loan on the birth rate cannot be determined yet because the first loans were only granted In August of last year But fascist officials are confident the natality chart will register a sharp upward rise because these loans are automatically reduced with tho birth of each child. Four children wipe out the entire debt to the gov ernment. The fascist grand council, meeting In March last year, decided to In stitute loans to poor couples who want children but lacked the necea sary cash for doctor bills and care. This was done to encourage an In crease In the birth rate, which was not rising at a speed which Premier Benito Mussolini would have lilted to see. The loans, varying from S53 to 155, are restricted to couples un der M 'who are not earning more than $630 annually. The loans are repayable over a number of years, with the stipulation the payment will be reduced with the birth of each child. With the birth of the first child the amount of the loan Is automat ically reduced 10 percent. The blrtl of the second child reduces the loan another 30 percent. The third child uts the loan down another 30 per cent. The remaining sum Is automat ically canceled when a fourth child la born. The birth of each child aut omatically postpones for one year the interest and amortization due on the loan for that year. since Aumisi I. 1937. there have been 30.503 loans granted for a totaf of (3.677.813. The largest percentage of these loans (through May of this year) went to common employes, while farmers showed the lowest per centage. In addition to this form of aid to deserving young couples, the govern ment also haa continued Its policy of making outright cash gifts to poor families. In three years the govern ment has given cash prizes totaling 913,000.000 to young couples, elthe. for having got married or raising children. Approximately one-third of this money was given to young cou ples who wanted to get married but did not have enough money, and the other two-thirds to couples who already were married but could not afford children. Back of all these measures la Mus solini's aeslre to arrest a tendency toward a declining birth rate and to carry Italy's population to 60.000,000 as soon as possible. Phoenix PHOENIX, Aug. 9.

"Wheat's supremacy has endured throughout history." the society re ported, "since Biblical days when Hiram, king of Tyre, sent timber of cedar and fir for King Solomon'f tem ple at Jerusalem in barter for 30.000 measures of wheat. "Stock tickers on modern ex changes record the same transaction for which Jacob's 10 sons journeyed from Israel's famine to Egypt's ever normal granary established by their brother, Prime Minister Joseph. "Wheat, called king of cereals. Is simply grass gone handsomely to seed. Each flower packs all available earth's food and sun's energy In Its fruitage of golden nuggets The ripe grains are In fact seeds, cunningly stored with food for the coming win ter." Crop Made Inexpensive The society, in the first of a series of reports on "Commodities : Com mon and Uncommon " said develop ment of American wheat resources and the machinery to harvest vast tracks gave the .vorld Its first In expensive wheat. Before American mass production dropped the price of wheat, only the rich could afford wheat bread. The masses ate black bread of barley or rye. "As American Inventiveness gavo large-scale planting a sudden im petus," the report said, "the winning of the western plains gave It a place. Minnesota earned the official nick name of the Wheat state." After Minnesota winter wheat flourished experimentally on five acres In Kansas In 1870, a band of Mennonlt immigrants from the Crimea, brought bushels of Russian seed wheat Into Kanaas In 1873 That state became headquarters for hard winter wheat. Kansas produces one-fifth of the nation's total wheat crop, although about 30 other states grow at least 1,000,000 bushels a year. Harvests of Ohio. Oklahoma and Texas keen these states also near the top of the list. Washington Grew It l Among the early wheat growers wa I George Washington. He operated i wheat fields and a mill at Mount Vernon, selling hit flour for $13 a barrel. Other colonists along the At lantic coast acted as wheat mer chants for the sugar plantations of the West Indies. The society said authorities dis agree on the origin of wheat "Quest for the wild grass from which humanity tamed wheat has taken scientists to Palestine, to Mesopotamia, to South Central Asia," the report said. "Some claim to have discovered the wild wheat ancestor In a hill grass of Syria; others main tain that wild wheat Is as extinct as the dinosaur, that wheat can no longer live without man's -are" Fugitive Slayer Eludes Officers SHELTON, Wsn., Aug. 9.
