Hyde has announced in making public the regulations governing the 1933 loans. In making available for crop production loans this year $90, 000,000 of Reconstruction Finance corporation funds congress speci fied that the secretary of agricul ture might require, as a condition of any loan, "that the borrower agree to reduce his acreage or pro duction on such basis, not to ex ceed 30 per centum, as may be de termined by the secretary.” The secretary’s regulations, however, stipulate that acreage reduction will not be required of farmers who, in 1933, plant no more than eight acres of cotton; 2 Yz acres of tob acco, 40 acres of wheat; 20 acres of com 2Yz acres of truck crops; 12 acres of sugar beets; 8 acres of potatoes, 30 acres of rice; 8 acres of peanuts. Farmers seeking crop production loans this year are advised to ob tain application blanks and copies of the regulation in their home counties, rather than from Wash ington. Field agents of the crop production loan office are now des ignating representatives in each farming county to inform prospec tive borrowers of the requirements governing loans and to distribute application blanks and other neces sary forms. These agents will as sist farmers in filling out applica tions, without charge. Accompanying the required 30 per cent reduction in acreage plant ed to cash crops, above the estab lished minimum, the 1933 regula tions limit the amount available to any farmer to $300. In 1932, crop production loans were made to 507,631 farmers, averaging $126 each. No loan in excess of $100 will be made to any applicant who is in arrears on as many as two pre vious loans. As last year., interest is fixed at 5 T-3 per cent, to be deducted when the advance is made. All notes are due October 31, 1933. Advances to borrowers may be made in installments, the regulations state, inasmuch, as ex penditures for crop production aie usually made 'over a considerable period. One million dollars of the $90, 000,00Q fund is available for live stock feed in drought or storrr stricken areas.

Then one whom I pal out with says, 'Did you ever look in the mirror and make faces, like you do at us?” I forget it. Then I read where a movie director says anyone who can elevate one eyebrow while the other stays un disturbed should be an actor. When I see you are on Broadway I go to see you. You look so sociable I think you will take me under your wing. Please answer soon.” “And now,” says Cantor, with a sigh as he starts for the stage, "do you wonder why my hair is turning gray?” U. S.

AWAKENED WOMAN ... The Perfect Serial . Mystery . Suspense .and Love. Joyce, as she opened her eyes on that memorable morning, was equally surprised at the warm, flower-scented air, at the luxurious sleeping porch where she lay and at the diamond circlet on her wedding finger. \ Was she married? Was it summer? Surely the fruit-laden or ange trees she could see were not in Chicago—this silk covered bed was not a hospital cot. Yet—the last thing she re membered was a skidding taxicab on a sleeting November day in Chicago. | And when a man came and sat on her bed and kissed her good bye for a hurried business trip, telling her to be careful after her i fall from her horse the day before, her mystification was com plete. So she was married. Later she discovered from her toilet article that her initials are F. L. P. . . . and that the house she lived in was rich-—and beautiful. IT IS A MASTERFUL STORY . . .

"Awakened Woman” . . . March '1 - " ILLUSION: In India, the fakirs present a spectacle to tourists. Two lovely performers break bottles and lamp chimneys before the eyes of the audience, and throw the jagged pieces into a box already filled with broken glass. They step barefooted into the box and do an Oriental dance in the glass without in jury. EXPLANATION: The performers toughen their feet in a strong so lution of alum water and thoroughly rub them with pulverized resin before they appear. They throw the freshly broken glass around the edges of the platform. The glass on which they actually do dance is very thick, heavy, and filed or ground so that the sharp edges are rounded off. The girls just pretend to dance on the sharp.glass. Sotntcx: "Magic Stage Illusions and Scientific Diversions’’ by Albert A. Hopkins, Munn Sr Co., Hew York, It's fun to ff Jvoied ' - ‘ . , - ' ' C.. ’ . ... it's more fun to JZnow One of the tncks of cigarette advertis x ing is to pretend that“HeatTreatment” is an exclusive process,making one cig . arette better than any other. EXPLANATION: A ll cigarette manu facturers use heat treatment. It is a routine process of manufacture. The first Camel cigarette ever made was manufactured under the heat-treating process. Every one of die billions of Camels produced since has received the necessary heat treatment. Harsh, raw tobaccos require inten sive processing under high tempera tures. The more expensive tobaccos, which are-naturally mild, call for only a moderate application of heat. Heat treatment never can make cheap, in ferior tobacco good. It is a fact, well known by -leaf tobacco experts, that Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other popular brand. I This is the most important statement ever made in a cigarette advertisement. Weigh its words. Consider what it means. Then try Camels. v. Camels are fresh... in the air-tight, welded Humidor Pack. _JVO TRICKS ..JEST COSTLIER TOBACCOS EM A MATCHLESS BLEND Copyright, 1933, B. J. Beynolda Tobacco Company ^ CAMCLS
