By EUOT JONES Profeuor of Transportation and Public Utilities, Stanford University SHABBY FURNITCRB CAN BE MADS TO LOOK LIKE NEW. Old furniture that has grown shabby tuny, easily be restored to Its original beauty by a renewal of the natural wood finish. The eld finish should first be removed with a paint or varulsh remover. Sand the wood until It feels smooth and satiny.

Wipe off all dust and apply a mixture of two parts boiled linseed oil and one part turpentine with a soft cloth. Heat the mixture in a pan of hot water. All excess oil should be wiped off Immediately with a dry cloth. After 43 hours, the process Bhoulil be repeated until the wood will absorb no more oil. Rub the wood well after each oiling.

The oil brings out the beauty of the wood and enriches ita color by darkening It On some woods, says the Washington Post, the color becomes too dark If enough oil Is applied to fill the pores. These A-oods should be oiled only to the desired color, and a mixture of one part white shellac to one part denatured alcohol should be applied. When tills Is dry, rub the wood with a small amount of wax In some cheesecloth. Let the wax stand for ten minutes and then polish the wood with a soft piece of flannel Several coats of wax may be needed to give the desired finish. I) As Gov.

Alfred M. Landon of Kansas tes from his home state of Kansas staged an Impressive celebration. Inset There is much talk these days of economle planning. Superficially viewed the idea seems very attractive. Everyone knows that a vacation that Is planned In advance Is likely to prove more satisfactory than one that is entered upon with no preparation.

Military campaigns, political campaigns, sales campaigns, etc. if they are to tuc-ceed, must be planned. The operation of farms and fac tories, and the building of railroads and highways, requires careful planning. What is more natural, therefore, than to conclude that planning should be applied to the entire economic orderl Surely a "planned society" would be superior to an unplanned onel The idea seems so attractive because of failure to realize what is involved. As matters stand now, if tome corporation can invent or improve a product its production and sale must be carefully planned, of course, but the planning is done by the corporation that invented or improved the article.

It a chemical concern can develop a process for making artificial silk, or can make an unproved paint for automobiles. It naturally puts it on the market, thereby adding to the wealth of the nation. In what respect, then, would the situation be different if we were to have a "planned In this most important respect the "planned society' would have to be administered by a large staff of persons, and these persons would be Government officials.

JOSLYN, ATTORNEY ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Estate of Marie Schmleding, Deceased The undersigned, Administrator of the Estate of Marie Schmieding, deceased, hereby gives notice that he will appear before the County Court of McHenry county, at the Court House in Woodstock, on the 3rd day of August, A.

1936. VICTOR K. SCHMEIDING, Administrator. (Publ. June 29, July 6-13) economle matters were managed In accordance with a these offU cials would have to decide whether 1 the Introduction of artificial silk, lm- roved paint, and the like, would fit ito the plan.

The Introduction of rayon would presumably reduce the demand for other textiles, and therefore for the labor employed In their manufacture. Under these conditions, the officials, especially if their Interests were bound up in any way (geographically, politically, or economically) with the other textile industries, might deny permission to introduce the new article, or at any rata hamper its development. While economic planning, of a limited tort, is commendable. It would, if carried to Its logical con elusion, give to a group of government officials centralized control over the entire economic process. To make plans for all industries, and to make the frequent changes that would be necessary to adapt the plaa to changing conditions, would require almost superhuman ability.

What assurance do we have that persons competent to direct this vast program could be found, or would be selected? Might we not merely succeed in creating a political bureaucracy? The planned economy would doubtless at first be administered by persons who believed In the institutions of private property and free enterprise, but these institutions are not compatible with the idea of a planned society. If a planned economy Is to be realized, then, it would be necessary to go on to a full-fledged system of control, in which the rights of private property in the means of production are abandoned in other wordy to socialism. It is well therefore, to realize In advance what economic planning really involves, and not to embrace a seductive slogan, unless we are prepared to so where it takes us. out the capital and surplus of all commercial banks. Then it roust be remembered that in the future taxes must be levied to repay these loans.

And taxes are depressing and disturbing things. A large proportion of them will not go to repay individual investors; tney will go to banks to liquidate loans and to accumulate as surplus reserves In banks. And the only way these surplus reserves can be used will be for people or the government to borrow from the banks again. Many people are saying that the next generation will merely repay it self, and, therefore, that no great dam age will be done. This notion ts large ly Inaccurate.

The next generation will pay heavy, repressive, and disturbing taxes, not to themselves but to pile up surplus reserves ia banks. The wealth of the future will be taken to retire the currency now being issued against it The people of this country have been put Into debt to the banks by the present Federal government to an extent never before seen in this country. Today the banks of no other country own as large a proportion of their government! debt. Many people appear to Interpret the artificially low-interest rates at which the government Is borrowing its funds as a tost of the soundness of government credit, and, therefore, they are ted to assume that all is well with our fiscal affairs. The facts are quite otherwise.

It will be found that in prosperous times, when our debt and tax burdens were relatively small, when the debt was being reduced, when public credit was as solid as could be. that the interest rates on government borrowing were much higher than they are now. This was because investors were using their funds and also because the government borrowed ia a competitive market KYMUHlvelv low-lnteraal rates An government Securities are sympto- enr depression, xney are evi- of th fact that there is a xur puis pf loanable funds that otherwise cannot bVused and that there Is widespread lack of confidence In buxb ness circles. Furthermore, these ex- cesslvely low-interest rates, to which1 the government points with pride, are! slowly eating up the Income of oud great public institutions, our endowments, our colleges and universities, and our eleemosynary institutions In so far as these depend upon government securities as a source of income. Our fiscal affairs are in an un- healthy state; the trend is in the wrong direction; the possibilities are genuinely dangerous, llv id A1I -'J iU'd eaa flcd aaof A hm i Xd Householders Are Warned of Taxes as Penalty for Extravagance.

By JOTJETT SHOTJSE President of the American Liberty League Let ti review a few recent de velopments in national budget- making', annual aencus, Borrowing, and finally in, the growth of that huca mountain of responsibility YOUR public debt This is the sixth successive year In which the government has spent more than it has taken in. Those six annual deficits added together make a total to the end of this fiscal year of eighteen billions of dollars. We have nearly doubled the pub-lie debt. It is at this date more than thirtv-four billions. This debt was undertaken in your name.

You owe those billions. Tne money wiu have to be paid. Tracing the origin of your enormous debt we find that the root of it all is excessive spending We cannot blame the unbalanced budgets on decreased income because for two years or more you have been turn in over increasingly large amounts to your agents, the government authorities, who han dle your puouc Business, xou go further into the red each year because, while you have been paying more ia taxes, the government has steadily increased its spending. Bow Debt Grows As a matter of fact, at present unofficial estimates, for every dollar you turn over to it the administration is spending about two dollars. In other words, you entrust the government with four billions and the government spends eight.

The government winds up with a probable 1938 deficit of about four billion dollars. Your government has to borrow the four billions to keep the national household's current credit in working order. If the four billions is not paid back by means of more taxes or by rigid economies it is going to continue a part of the public debt. Expenditures for next year are estimated to be even greater than for the present year. If present policies are followed there is no hope of any material reduction for 1938.

What are we going to do about it? We have only two things that we can do. YOU have got to pay more taxes and YOUR GOVERNMENT has got to reduce its expenditures. You would recognize the way out of such a problem if it arose in connection with your household budget. Spending and borrowing cannot go on indefinitely if your government is to maintain its credit and its self-respect. Relief Problem We are up against the problem of relief.

I do not believe there is any man or woman of any class or group or creed or political party who would suggest that your government economize at the expense of human lives, or that food, clothing and shelter should not be provided for those unable to care for themselves. In the opinion of some of us this device of work-relief has condemned itself. for one, favor using what federal funds are necessary to help finance relief, but I believe the money could be used more effectively and far more economically if direct, actual administration of the job were left to the states. They are in close contact with their own problems. I believe that boondoggling would be reduced, or eliminated.

In the last three years about ten billions of dollars have been allocated for relief purposes. There are still twelve millions of unemployed and twenty millions aYe on relief. Isn't if abbufifirre you Congress that is; supposed to. represent you that while you arei willing to make any, sacrifice to prevent suffering among the needy, you demand that your government give heed to the same common sense economy that must govern your family budget? Citizen Pays It All The only possible source of revenue with which to meet the heavy obligations of which we have been speaking is your pocketbook. YOU must pay more In bringing taxes up to a total of about four billions annually we have already put as great a load on wealth as it will stand, short of confiscation.

It is people with medium incomes and moderate savings who will be called upon to make these new sacrifices. Bureaus Still Swelling The latest report of the United States Civil Service commission shows a total of 810,418 employes of the executive department of the government. For the month of April it shows an increase of more than 4,090, payrollers over the previous month. Spending has not been reduced In either regular or emergency department payrolls. The TugweH resettlement bureau, which has been strongly opposed as an applicant for more funds, had a payroll of 13,656 in April.

Huge numbers of these federal employes got their Jobs through the Farley system, without regard to Civil Service, i The public debt has mounted to the highest point In this nation's history and Is rapidly rising still higher. The budget is badly unbalanced. The an-n a 1 deficit i I t. I srnslni nro- grestlvely greater; this year it will amount to approximately six billion dollars. The tax toad is growing steadily heavier.

These are facts of which the public has been repeatedly Informed; and yet it does not appear to be unduly dis turbed about the matter. This apparent placidity of the general public is a phenomenon that deserves attention. It is a situation to which the public itself should give some consideration. There are probably two reasons why the general public does not understand the significance of these dangerous financial trends. One grows out of the fact that a very large proportion of the mounting public debt perhaps 18 billions of dollarsis in the banks.

Public borrowing, consequently, does not touch the average saver and investor of the country. The other is a misinterpretation of the meaning of the low-interest rates at which the Federal government is borrowing its funds. A word as to each of these factors. 1. To the extent that banks finance government borrowing, future.

How Cracker Industry Has Grown in Century The cracker Industry has had a phenomenal growth In tlie United States since Its beginning, a little more than a century ago. The first crackers were large, round, unsweetened and unleavened cakes, baked uBtll they were very hard, something like the water cracked of today. Because they kept much better than ordinary bread they were In great demand for ship supplies and were often called "ship bread." At first they were made entirely by hand, but at the time of the great gold rush to California the demand for this convenient food became so great that machinery was invented to roll the dough and stamp it into cakes. During the Civil war, observes a writer in the Washington Star, In America the army and navy called for such quantities of this hardtack, as If was culled, that an Improved oven was Invented which Increased the capacity of the bakeries by four or five times. This Invention, which revolutionized the Industry and Is used today In vir tually the same form, Is called the mechanical reel oven.

Hew to Get Rid of Bate Bats are very annoying when they roost In attics, walls and other enclosed places. Sometimes they may be kept out of the house by finding and closing the openings by which they gain entrance. This must be done aft er they have left at night in search of food. Where this is Impractical or too difficult it will be found that flake napthalene or ordinary mothballs scattered about their roosting places will usually drive them out. As a last re sort, says Pathfinder Magazine, they may be exterminated entirely by In serting grains of calcium cyanide In the cavities used by the bats.

But this must be used with care because the cyanide gives off a deadly gas. An other disadvantage is that this method leaves the problem of disposing of the dead bats if In Inaccessible places. How to Remove Stains Bloodstains may be removed from cloth by soaking 30 minutes In luke warm water and then washing In warm water and soap suds. Hot water will set the stains, so handle carefully. To remove sirup or sticky, sugary stains, soak in hot water and then wash In soap and warm water.

Cover grease-stained cloth with a mild soap and let it stand two hours. Wash out with warm water and soap. To remote egg yolk stains, soap and then rub with apaiwatar aavhsoan sid Tar stains may be remoced by rubbing with lard. Itoll the cloth nnd let It stand 12 hours or Then wish out with warm water' and suds. How to Lacqaer New Wood Apply a wood filler before lacquer ing new wood to secure a finish that Is entirely smooth.

The filler is ap plied In the usual manner, being brushed on, the excess wiped off, the surface allowed to dry. Lacquer Is applied with hair brush and "flowed" on rather tliau stroked back and forth. It should smooth itself out and never be gone over a second tkue If It is possible to avoid it How Chippewa Wooed Ladies Chippewa Indian braves, not Span- lards, were the first to woo their ladles with the mellow voice of a flute. This tribal custom was disclosed by workers on Indian research. The Chippewa flute was merely a reed with a piece of dry leather stretched across the end to produce tone.
