DECLARATION OF ESTIMATED 1945 TAX 'Farmers (persons receiving at least two-thirds of their income from farming) are permitted to delay filing 4945 declarations until January 15, 1946. At that time they may, if they desire, file their annual returns instead of their declarations. Declarations are re quired from farmers who expect to earn $500 or more this year. If they postpone the filing of dec larations until January 15, 1946, they must pay the full amount of estimated tax at that time. Spe cial forms and instructions have heen mailed out to all persons who filed declarations last year. Addi tional copies may be obtained from the office of any collector of internal revenue.

L. Pred more, chief of the agricultural section of the treasury’s war fi nance division. He recalls how many farmers, lured by high in terest, invested to their sorrow in speculative stocks and bonds during tlhe lasf war period. “For this reason,” he declares, “war bonds are a first choice for the in vestment of farm savings. They have all the resources of America i back of them. In addition, the se ries E war bond pays the highest rate of interest of any govern ment security now available.” TIGHTENED HOME auliAK I'ttUtiKAM A tightened home canning1 sug ar program for the 1945 season— a program designed to insure a fair distribution of the available sugar to tho^e who actually need it for canning—'has been announc ed by Administrator Chester Bowles of DPA. Highlights of the new program are as follow's: The housewife will apply at her local rationing board and indicate the amount of canning she intends to do this year. Local boards will issue 'five-pound canning sugar coupons. No ration stamps in war ration book 4 will be good for canning sugar this year. For can ning fruits and fruit juices, the allowance will be on the basis of one pound for each four quarts to be canned. The total allowance must not exceed 20 pounds per person, or 160 pounds to a single family, even though the family may contain more than eight per sons. COTTON GOODS FOR SMALLER TOWNS ■Distribution of the 10,000,000 yards of cotton goods that is be ing made available for the first quarter of 1945 to merchants in rural areas has been limited to merchants who, in 1944, received less than 20 per cent of their 1943 sales of cotton goods, the war production board reports. The al location of the cotton goods was made specifically for over-the counter sales to persons who live in small towns and rural areas, and wtho usually purchase such good for use in making garments in the home. For the purpose of the distribution program, small towns and rural areas were de fined as communities' of less than 25,000, WPIB explained. No priori ty assistance wras granted to re tailers with greater population.

I'm no big shot, but folks envy me, even lit that, for keeping this car like an heirloom. Oh, some say that any good motor oil would largely do the trick, and they’re welcome to believe it. J simply say this: Keeping my engine oil-plated ever since I switched to Conoco N*h motor oil, has helped me ’beat the curse of engine adds. I got wise that adds from combustion always try to corrode an engine’s inside finish, but oil-plating furnishes special protection. A syn thetic in Conoco N«» oil, I’ve learned, behaves almost like magnetism. This makes the working parts attract oil-plating, and hold on to it. It’s fnafawmd as doaely as chrome plating to keep metal under cover from adds. That would certainly be a check on corrosion, from the minute you switch to an oil-plated engine. So just get Cenoeo N'A motor oil. y < ?• ' V Released by 0- 8. War Department, Bureau of Public Relations. INSPECT FIRST U. S. AIR STRIP IN FRANCE—Lieut. Gen. Ctrl A.
