The semi annual financial
statement of the United States
National Bank, which maintains
one of its prominent units in
this city, shows as ol June 30
another all-time high In deposits
of $177,090,911.27. This repre
sents a gain since its last year-
end statement of $14,668,469.19

In the past six months loans

dent, reflects the increasing
tempo of agricultural, commer
cial and Individual employment
of borrowed money, as well as
Increased demands arising from
defense needs throughout the
state.
According to the management

payments of $1,000 or more for
agricultural conservation and
parity price adjustments in

visions of the AAA requiring
submission of names of all per
sons receiving $1,000 or more.
Millions In Less Sums
Additional millions of pay
ments, xne AAA said, were

$1,000 figure which must be
reported. They included 3,756,-
240 under the conservation pro
gram, and 5,475,000 under the
price adjustment program.
"All AAA payments regard
less of size," Paul H. Appleby,
undersecretary of agriculture,
ujio congress, -represent spe
cific performance by cooperat
ing farmers. Conservation pay
ments are made to farmers for
adjusting plantings of soil de
pleting crops for which acreage
allotments are established and
for carrying out soil-building
practices to improve the land."
He added that the parity pay
ments made in 1939 for the first
time were intended "to bring
the farmers' returns nearer a
parity with farm income for the
1910-14 period."

LOVE, MARRIAGE
BOOST BUSINESS
TO NEW LEVELS
Speedup In Marriages Starts
With Draft Retail,
Wholesale Trade Increase
New York, July 7. The Spec
ial News Service) Love this
year has taken a rail position
among key factors racing do
mestic business totals towards
new high levels.
Love and marriage.
Dealers In new homes, house
furnishings, automobiles and
other prime civilian goods freely
admit that without the unique
combination of circumstances
encouraging the blossoming of
love this year daily sales and
backlogs of orders might be
much less.
Some of the forces turning
the heat on love, incubating
marriages, are the following:
1 Increasing jobs, fatter pay
envelopes accompanying expan
sion of the big $42,000,000,000
national defense program.
2 Deferment of marriages
during the hard times of the
1930s.
3 Unsettled world condi
tions, causing young people to
hasten marriages, grab a little
happiness now, lest the draft
and defense activities require
their increasing attention later.
there wtre around 1,500,000
marriages in 1940, the largest
number in the United States for
any year in history.
The fast pace, at many cities,
has been continuing thus far in
1941. Many county clerks are
finding June nuptial totals were
the largest for any month in
several years, if not the largest
ever penned on the record
books.
The commerce department,
taking Into full account tha mar
riages of young people, also
breathes a sigh of relief that
oldsters are marrying in Increas
ing numbers, too. Says tha de
partment: "The recent Increase in the
marriage rate Is whittling away
part of the vast backlog of mar
riages postponed during depres
sion years."
The marriages, in turn, are
whittling away retailers and
wholesalers' supplies of beds,
dressing tables, dining room
suites, refrigerators, davenports,
chairs and other home staples.
It's all a very merry picture
at present for the stores along
hundreds of main streets. How
ever, one big ogre faces merch
ants. Growing numbers of retailers
fear that before Christmas there
may be many kinds of now fast
selling goods that cannot be had
for either love or money.
Production of refrigerators,
hot water heaters, oil burners,
stoves and other household
Items made of metal wanted by
defense Industries, already la
tapering.
Two factors are likely to fur
ther restrict output:
1. Priorities of defense in
dustries on materials, making
manufacturer! scrape bottom of
fast dwindling stock piles.
2. Acceptance of growing
banks of defense orders by
peace-time Industry, shifting
more and mora workers to armament-making
tasks.
Meantime, current brisk sale
are reducing supplies of such
goods In retailers' and wholesal
ers' hands.

ALL ITS 9 ADVANTAGES
Thermo-Charglng (Patents Pending) Is a new
scientific discovery that enables "RPM" to stay
put at higher temperatures than motor oils
have stood before. Other oils actually run up'
hill to escape scorching hot surfaces which
Thermo-Charged "RPM" will protect perfectly!
Exclusive Thermo-Charglng also gives "RPM"
greater power to clean carbon, gum, varnish
out of your motor than other oils, regardless of
where they come from or what they cost.
In fact, this amazing discovery gives "RPM?
advantages which hare led our President to
make the strongest statement our Company
has ever made about a product:
"We believe Thermo-Charged 'RPM' Is the
greatest lubrication development the motor
