'. in Moville, received recognition for outstanding sales of Kent products Davy's & Jim's Feed Store, Inc., the Kent Feeds dealer for the Moville, IA, area was recently recognized at a com- pany-sponsored dealer appreciation and awards banquet in S.

"Instant cash!" If you're running short of money, such ads invite you into one of the "payday loan" or check-loan businesses that have exploded in Iowa. They'll give you cash to tide you over until your next payday. (Hence the name "payday loans.") Convenient? Sure. But - are you willing to pay for that convenience at an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 300 to 400 percent? More and more, people who are stretched financially turn to payday lenders. But when money's tight, pay- ing triple-digit interest rates for short-term loans just siphons more money out of budgets that already may be running on empty. Here's how payday loans work: If you want $100 in cash, you write them a check for $116.67. (The difference is their fee.) They give you $100 immedi- ately. They hold the check until the date you agree they can deposit it, or you come back and give them $116.67 in cash or money order to get the check back from them. Usually, that's two weeks, although it could be up to one month. That two-week, $100 loan works out to an APR of over 434% Getting a $200 loan for two weeks will likely cost you a $27.78 fee - a 362% APR. Just for comparison, compare those credit costs to the 24% APR that is considered very high for credit cards. A $100 loan for two weeks at a 24% APR would cost '92 cents, a whole lot cheaper than $16.67. A $200 loan for two weeks at 24% would cost $1.84, nowhere close to $27.78. Payday loans pull a lot of dollars down the drain - especially if you obtain payday loans often. What can you do? If possible, stop and think about "paying yourself" the fee instead of going to a payday lender. That will help you build a savings re- serve for emergencies. If you need emergency cash for important bills, search for alternatives. For example, if it's a utility bill that's pressing, check first with the utility company about emergency assistance programs. If you're having trouble paying bills, re- member that trying to pay them with triple-digit APR loans is likely to sweep you even further downward in a spiral g debt. and service to their customers from Kent Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Rich Dwyer.

WC Students Compete In District Speech Contest By Carrie Butler Ten Woodbury Central High School students recently earned the right to advance to State Individual Speech competition. District Speech Contest was held Feb. 27th at LeMars-Gehlen Catholic High School in LeMars and WC students qualified with 16 pro- grams. These speakers received I ratings in two performances each: seniors -- Ashley Brandt and Scott Bock; junior John Rundall; and sophomores Jeff Bamable, Jay Book, and Kate Heiman. The following students will compete in one area each: juniors Carny Hav- licek and Gina Havlicek; and sopho- mores Duane French and Phil Rippke. Junior Jason Barnable; sophomore Melissa Rippke; and freshmen Eliza Barnett, and Jessica Sweets completed this season with 11 ratings. The State Individual Speech contest will be Mar. 20th at Storm Lake, Iowa. "We had a really successful competi- tion and I'm so glad that so many peo- ple are going on.to state," said senior Ashley Brandt. £D Competes For Scholarship At Northwestern College Scott Bock of Moville was among 74 finalists, representing 13 states, to compete on the Northwestern College campus for a Norman Vincent Peale Scholarship recently. Approximately 10 Peale Scholarship winners will be an- nounced by the end of March. The students were on campus in late February for interviews and a writing competition. Northwestern College faculty, staff and students evaluated them on the basis of their potential for academic success, leadership and ef- fective Christian service. Criteria for the Peale Scholar candi- dates included a ranking within the top 15 percent of their high school class or a minimum 3.5 grade point average, and a minimum ACT score of 25 or SAT score of 1,130. One-hundred fifty students meeting those qualifications wrote an initial Peale Scholarship ap- plication, and Bock was among the 74 finalists from that group who competed on campus. The Peale Scholarships were estab- lished by Mr. and Mrs. Homer Surbeck of Atherton, Calif., who were close friends of Dr. and Mrs. Peale. Dr. Pole, who died in 1993 at the age of 95, was pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in New York City from 1932-84 and author of 46 books, in- cluding "The Power of Positive Think- ing." He has been called the most influ- ential Protestant clergyman in the U.S. Located in Orange City, Iowa, Northwestern College is a Christian liberal arts college of nearly 1,200 stu- dents, affiliated with the Reformed Church in America. Northwestern Students Serve Over Spring Break Monica Schapp of Moville, a senior majoring in Christian Education, is one of almost 190 Northwestern College students spending spring break in service. A dozen spring service groups from the college are traveling to minis- try sites throughout the world February 27-March 9. She will be serving in Mississippi. A new spring service project this year is in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where students will volunteer at two Christian youth hostels. They will live with the travelers and have the oppor- tunity to share their faith and lead Bible studies. They also will serve meals and help with maintenance and other daily operations of the hostel. Another international service site is at an orphanage in Reynosa, Mexico. There students will tutor the children in English as a second language, play games with them and lead a Bible school in the evenings. , Within the U.S., students will travel to multi-racial urban centers like Coney Island, New Orleans and Chicago to conduct street evangelism, distribute Christian tracts and serve in soup kitch- ens and homeless shelters. Students also will engage in hunger, homeless and prison ministries in Fort Washington and New Albany, Pa.; St. Petersburg, Fla.; and Lindale, Texas, Students looking for a spring break of physical labor will perform construc- tion and maintenance with Habitat for Humanity in Miami, Fla. - at the Voice of Calvary Ministries in Jackson, Miss. - and at the Cook College and Theo- logical School in Tempe, Ariz. Stu- dents traveling to Tempe also will visit several Native American reservations in that area. Student Ministries Director Barb De- wald says, "Spring service projects are a chance for students to travel over spring break but also to serve and offer something to communities less privi- leged than the one they attend college in. It's also a valuable and affordable cross.cultural experience for our stu- dents." Trips this year range in cost per-person from $160 to minister with Jesus People, USA in Chicago to $700 to participate in the youth hostel minis- try in Amsterdam. The students raise the money themselves, and despite the cost, the spring break service projects remain popular. Students agree that sacrificing a spring break of skiing or surfing is well worth the opportunity to serve. They say it is a chance to put the serv- ice-learning emphasis of their North- western education into practice. Northwestern College is a private lib- eral arts college of 1,190 students, af- filiated with the Reformed Church in America. READ and USE REGULARLY iii I WC Wrestlers Finish Strong At State The Wildcat wrestling squad finished the season as being one of the top eight wrestling teams in the state of Iowa out of 136 class 1A schools. The Cats trav- eled to Cedar Rapids with the sole in- tention of defeating top ranked Lake Mills. The competition was tough as the Cats fell to the Bulldogs 45-15. The Sheriff's News MARK LIVESTOCK QUICKLY The Woodbury County Sheriffs Of- fice would like to remind our farming community of the importance of marking newborn livestock as quickly as possible. At this time of year, when there are many new calves in the area, the theft of those animals is most likely to occur soon after birth, and before they can be marked in any manner. For further information, please call the Crime Prevention Division, at 279-6010 or 1-800-352-6352. MARK FARM CHEMICALS We are now approaching the farm chemical theft season and the Wood- bury County Sheriffs Department would like to offer some advice to both farmers and businessmen about these chemical thefts. The chemical thefts usually occur during the early morning hours and, if possible, during stormy weather condi- tions, so that the tracks of the thieves will be covered. This is an especially important time of the year for chemical dealers to take precautions and watch for thefts because of their advanced stocking of large amounts of farm chemicals. The thieves will take farm chemicals from farms, grain elevators and co-ops, whenever they have the opportunity. Dealers should take the time to remove the containers from the boxes and mark each individual container with their Operation Identification Number, which can be obtained from the Wood- bury County Sheriffs Office. Without any identifying numbers, recovery of the stolen chemicals will be difficult because they are not easily identifiably once the containers are removed from the boxes. For Operation Identification Numbers to mark the chemicals, contact Deputy Jim Cunningham, Woodbury County Sheriffs Office, Crime Prevention Divi- sion, at 279-6010 or 1-800-352-6352. Cats earned their points with a decision win by Scott Linden and a pin each by Adam Lloyd and Tom Smith. '1 am very pleased with the entire season," commented Coach Fisher. 'q'he wrestlers set team goals at the be- ginning of the season and they accom- plished almost all of them. What a great season !" Lane Tabke Completes Mycogen Seeds Training "You receive your best service from sales people who do two things right/' says Lane Tabke, Movitle. "They know their customers and they know their products. That's the best way to get farmers the right seed products for top performance." Tabke, a Mycogen Seeds seller, re- cently completed a sales leadersl~ip training session in Des Moines. spon- sored by Mycogen Seeds.

"These conferences continue educa- tion that enables our sellers to provide customers the service they need to re- main successM in today's agricultural environment," says Darwyn Mueller, regional sales manager for Mycogen Seeds. "They also serve as valuable input sessions where we listen to ideas and feedback from sellers."
