I In the Stratford building, the association and bureau will have one large general office, and a smaller private office for the secretary- manager, H. F. Otstot. The chatiRC will be made, Otstot sail today, to provide ground floor quarter? for the bureau. Trlln Its "The I'entral office will be open for public Inspection the first wetk," said Olstot, "and the public In general, beside those busi- LJUTj and professional men who avail themselves of its service, may inspect the place where the paying habits of the individuals In the Alton trade territory are on file.

"The Alton bureau is one of 65 offices In Illinois, and one of 1350 offices in the United States, affiliated with the Associated Credit bureaus of America, all of which inler- cliangs information with regard to the extension of credit." Ostot added that "credit" is a variously de'fined word. "Doubtless the public has read many definitions and many perhaps likely have definitions of their own. But what is a credit bureau? Many of the rejected applicants for credit seem to have a confused and vague Idea ol its operation and function. At least 95 percent of those who come to the bureau talk about 'black-lists', 'blackball', and such, and seem to think 'it's up to the bureau to decide if an Individual should get credit. As a matter of fact, every individual writes his own credit record, and the buying public should be educated to several important facts that will ellm Inate confusion about a credit bureau.

A Record-Keeper "A credit bureau simply is a record-keeping organizing where credit grantors call before opening accounts, and to which are reported past and present paying habits; where items of public record reflecting credit capacity are added; and the total of this information is passed on to the credit grantor as a basis for credit extension." The office staff, of the assocla lion and bureau is composed of ihree persons, in addition to Secretary Otstot. The large office will provide space for the staff, and also room for association meetings, said Otstot. Lease of the Stratford hotel and nillding recently was taken over -jy V. R.

19 Some seasoned Democratic leaders are predicting that practical iroblem of re-election which faces so many Democratic members of Congress in 1940 may serve to narrow the breach in the party's ranks during the next session. Although Democratic Republican coalition worked effectively against much administration legis- during the past session, they it may be more difficult to continue such a working arrangement next year. Most of the representatives and several of the Senators who opposed resident Roosevelt's policies will be running for re-election, was pointed out, and they were likely face Republican opposition just as viperous as that confronting down-the-linc New Dealers. It was reasoned this might tend to break Jown legislative cooperation be- Republicans and antl-admin- itration Democrats. Some leaders contended the fate jf most Democratic legislators seeking re-election would be tied up closely With that of the na- ticket.

Thus, they said, po- itical expediency would enforce support of the Presidential nom- nee, whether he were a supporter or an enemy of Mr, Roosevelt. In speeches since adjournment, some Democratic legislators have tended emphasize broad party principles and to attack Republicans rather than to discuss legis- ulion which lias brought party dis- agroenrjnts.

Mrs, Alice Thomas, Mrs. Artnur Hucklebrlijge, Mrs. William Kahl and Mrs, Everett Travers, EDWARDSVILLE, Aug. (Special) Farmers of Madison county have a'chance this year to store a good share of their wheat crop on their farms under the wheat loan program, says Charles J. Heck, chairman of the County Agricultural Conservation Committee.

The 1939 plan provides for a storage allowance of 7 cents a bushel on wheat stored on the farm, provided that the farmer delivers the wheat to the Commodity Credit Corporation at the end of the period covered by the loan. If the price of wheat is higher than the lonn rate, plus carrying and storage charges, and the farmers redeem their loan, they will not receive the storage payment, but will in effect receive it through the higher value of their wheat. The 7-cent allowance for growers who provide acceptable farm storage is in addition to the wheat loan rate in Madison county, which averages 71 cents a bushel, says Mr. Heck, and will be paid on delivery of the wheat to the Commodity Credit Corporation at the local sta tion. For farmers who do not now have acceptable storage bins on their farms or for farmers who wish to provide additional storage space, the storage allowance represents about half 'the cost of some good types of storage bins.

Wheat growers who are co-operating with the farm program and wish to take a loan on their wheat should contact the county AAA committee. The committee will certify producers who are eligble for loans and is responsible for grading and inspecting farm stored wheat under the loan. That farm storage of wheat is working out well was shown when 19.0QO bins of 1938 loan wheat were reinspected in the main wheat states 'and only 24 were in such shape that the loans on the wheat stored in them needed to be liquid- Bled. Loans are a part of the ever- normal granary and enable the wheat grower to get immediate cash Income for his surplus anc hold it off the market when prices are low.
