GRAIN BINS TO
BE MADE HERE
(Continued from Page One)
modity Credit corporation has
acquired most of the older stocks
through non-recourse loans to
wheat farmers under Its 92 per
cent loan for 1941 production
and will acquire a large part of
the 1942 crop through a $1.14
per bushel loan.
'These bins will be shipped to
all wheat-growing sections of
the country," he said. .
(The state AAA office In Cor
vallis announced today that
wooden grain bins manufactured
in Klamath Falls are now avail
able to Oregon wheat growers
through the Commodity Credit
corporation, n. w. uonatason.
AAA executive assistant, said
that county AAA offices have
now been authorired to take or
ders for such bins for later de
livery.
(He said that growers using
these or other farm bins will re
ceive a storage advance of seven
cents per bushel if such wheat is
placed under - loan following
harvest. If the loan Is renewed
an additional five cents allow
ance is made.
(Donaldson said that as not
enough pre-fabrlcated bins will
wfi avat,auls, growers ars urged
to build their own where pos
sible.) -
Lorenz said that shingles and
hardware will be shipped to
Sprague River where they will
be trans-shipped with other sec
tions of the bins, most of which
will bo constructed at the Crater
Lake Box and Lumber company
there.
He said that the Crater Lake
firm will devote its entire plant
to bin construction as soon as
present orders are filled. The
switchover will require some
new notching machinery which
is being built by the Klamath
Iron works.
Lorenz stated that although
the changeover will not require
much added labor, some more
help will be needed. He urged
that men seeking jobs apply at
the Sprague River plant
An Indication of the project's
size, he said, may be found In
the fact that 75 carloads of
shingles will be needed.
RUBBER PILE SET
Klamath Falls' huge scrap
rubber pile today shot over the
300,000-pound goal set for it
and boomed steadily toward a
new 350,000-pound goal set by
R. O. Snodgrass, chairman of
the local drive.
In oil d e a 1 e r s' yards last
night were 320,000 pounds of
old tires, doormats, seat cush
ions, inner tubes and a thousand
other household Items.
Meanwhile final plans were
shaped for tomorrow's com
bined "treasure hunt" and Boy
Scout truck drive to digest every
last piece of household scrap
rubber possible. Oil dealers'
trucks, commanded by scouts,
will begin to roll through each
city street, alley and byway at
1 p. m. to collect scrap which
citizens are urged to find in
their attics, basements and clos
ets in a morning intra-house
treasure hunt."
Scouts will sell the rubber to
oilmen for $20 per ton. Dealers
in turn will sell the rubber to
the government for $25 per ton
with all profits going to the
United Service organizations,
the army and navy relief and
the Red Cross. -
Tomorrow's drive will virtu
ally wind up the two-week cam
paign although It will not offi
cially be over until June 30.

Whatever else happens In this
war, there will be no lack of
U. S. APPROPRIATIONS. What
ever money is needed will be

it will be by the time the war

FINANCE it
The only SAFE way to finance
the war is to deny ourselves
and PAY TAXES AND BUY
BONDS. Any other way will
mean inflation of the sort that
will leave everything you own,
Including the money in your
pocket, valueless.
As in Germany after the last
war.
CINANCING a war is easy.
r Doing it without an ENSU
ING TERRIBLE HEADACHE is
the hard job.
It is a job that has to be done
the hard way.
Generally speaking, the more
taxes we pay NOW, the more
bonds we buy NOW, the more
things we DO WITHOUT NOW
the milder the headache will be
later.
Unless you are willing to do
the mental drudgery necessary
to gain an understanding .of the
fundamental principles of eco
nomics, you must accept this
statement on FAITH.
It is UNDENIABLY true.
CO buy bonds. Buy all you can
" lay hands on the money to
pay for.
You'll be saving your country
and doing yourself a good turn
at the same time.
YOU may still ask this ques-
tion: "Where will I get the
money?"
Here is the plain and simple
answer:
By DOING WITHOUT a lot
of the things you've been ac
customed to.
How can we expect other na
tions to respect our government
if our own people are continual
ly ridiculing, criticizing and be
littling one of the three branches
of government particularly the
branch most representative of
the-people? Edward J. Flynn,
