vehicle does not operate under a
Fleet designation, the number of
the Certificate of War Necessity
is to be written on the coupons.
Endorsement of coupons has a
twofold purpose:
First, it protects consumers
against use of their coupons by
others in case of theft or loss.
Second, it enables the Govern
ment to locate criminals who
have been trafficking in illegal
gasoline. By checking back the
ownership of gas coupons that
had been handled by suspected
gas stations, the Government can
determine whether a station is
operating legally or illegally.

FEDERAL LAND BANK
OF COLUMBIA REDUCES
INTEREST RATES
ON LOANS
Action has been taken by the
Board of Directors of The Feder
al Land Bank of Columbia, acting
in conjunction with the directors
of the other eleven land banks,
which will assure all land bank
borrowers continued low interest
rates and at the same time save
the Federal Treasury approxi
mately twenty million dojlars in
the next fiscal year, according to
statement received today by Mr.
E. L. Irvin, Secretary-Treasurer
of the Franklin National Farm
Loan Association, from Julian H.
Scarborough, President of the
Columbia Land Bank.
"This action substitutes a 4 per
cent interest rate for higher rates
on all loans made through our
association except specialized
loans," Mr. Irvin said. Loans
made by the Columbia Land Bank
through our association prior to
June, 1935, carried a rate of in
terest ranging from 4 1-4 to 6
per cent. This action by the
Land Bank has the effect of re
ducing the contract rate "on these
loans to 4 per cent for the re
maining life of the loans. Nearly
all loans of The Federal Land
Bank of Columbia made through
this association since June, 1935,
carry a 4 per cent rate.
"Since 1935, all land bank bor
rowers have paid lower rates of
interest than provided in their
mortgage under Federal legisla
tion passed that year. Legislation
authorizing the present reduced
rate will expire June 30, 1944, at
which time the permanent reduc
ed rate of 4 per cent by the land
banks becomes effective. This
will make continuation of the in
terest subsidy of nearly $20,000,
000 yearly by the Federal Govern
ment unnecessary unless Con
gress should determine to fix a
lower rate," Mr. Irvin sta,ted.
Entirely too much green and
damp cotton is being hauled to
the gins this fall, resulting in
losses of from $4 to $6 a bale to
the farmer.
| WOMEN SUCCESSFUL
> BUS DRIVERS
Now that hundreds of women
jhave proven entirely capable of
; driving buses on the West Coast
and in other war production
areas, the National Association
of Motor Bus Operators reports
that major lines in all parts of
the country are hiring women to
pilot the highway streamliners.
"the manpower shortage is
bringing about the innovation
even though men bus drivers are
classed as essential workers be
cause of their importance to the
nation's wartime transportation
needs. However, in replacing men
who have entered the armed ser
vices, the bus companies are mak
ing certain that the public won't
apply the epithet of "that wo
man driver!" to any of the new
operators. What's more import
ant, the enviable safety records
of the Industry must be main
tained.
Women drivers already em
ployed are handling the shorter
intercity routes. They were se
lected from thousands of appli
cants through rigid examinations
for physical fitness, driving qual
ifications, mental alertness, neat
ness and courtesy. Similar stand
ards are being set up by all in
tercity bus lines, the association
reports. Before donning trim un
iforms and taking up their war
essential work, the successful ap
plicants are given intensive cour
ses in actual bus driving by ex
perienced driver-instructors.
Because the intercity bus in
dustry was not in existence dur
ing the last war when similar
manpower shortage problems
were encountered, the employ
ment of women drivers is really
a new development and one that
the operators accepted with some
misgivings. The public has voiced
no objections probably because
riders are glad to have the bus
come along, no matter whether a
man or a woman is at the wheel.
The very few criticisms received
?Ct>me, oddiy enough, from other
women who seem to resent that
one of their sex has qualified for
the job.

TIMBER MARKETING
SERVICE FOR FRANK
LIN COUNTY FARMERS
I "To aid in supplying the tim
ber for war needs much farm
timber is being harvested," says
W. C. Boyce, county agent.
"This," he states, "is a patriotic
service our farmers are render
ing; but if we are to have timber
for future use, we must cut this
timber in a systematic manner,
leaving growing stock on the
land."
Mr. Boyce announces a new

with the U. S. Forest Service to

ing timber of market size and
quality in a manner to provide
a systematic harvest and maintain
the forest growing stock in a
productive condition.
. 3. To assist those timber own
ers in finding markets, making
sales, preparing marketing con
tracts, etc., for the various tim
ber products.
4. To assist in developing a
sound, working relationship be
tween timber owners and saw
mill operators, pulpwood contrac
tors, and other harvesters and
