delegates elected. In the towns as
rule the plan Of selection was one woman

county proposal meeting, and the
chances are that the same line will be
followed by some of the counties " hen
they come TO select delegates to the state
convention, and part of the repre,en.

be women. The actual workings of the
law will leave many of the precincts un-

with surface credentials which can pass

ADDITIONAL RULINGS
ON REINSTATEMENT

A series of decisions issued by the
Director Of the Bureau of War Risk In
surance with the approval Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury provides more
liberal conditions for reinstatement OF
lapsed or cancelled insurance.
The provisions of Treasury Decision
No. Al, allowing eighteen months from
the date OF discharge for reinstatement
upon pay ment of only two months pre-
miums on the amount Of insurance to
be reinstated, are retained. That deci-
sion is lberaized, however by a new
provision that men out ot the service
are permitted TO reinstate by merely
paying the two months premiums with.
out making a statement as 10 health at
any Time within three calendar months
following the month OF discharge.
After the three months following the
date of discharge have elapsed, a stale
meut from the applicant to the effect
that be is in as good health As al the
the grace period, whichever Is the later
date, viii be required together with a
written application for reinstatement
and the tender oi Two months premiums
N the amount of insurance he wishes to
reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or been
cancelled, fair chance to reiustate their
insurance, including men who haye
been out of the service eighteen months
or more, and who are therefore barred
from reinstatement under the former
ruling, a special blanket ruling Is made
which allows AL ex-serylce men to rein.
state their insurance before December
3lst, 1919, provided that each applicant
is in as good health as at date Of dis
charge or at expiration Of the grace
period, whichever is the later date, and
so states in his application. OF course il
is necessary that he tender the Two
months premiums on the amount Of in
surance he wishes to reinstate.
Service men who reinstated their in
surance by payment OF all back pre-
miums prior to July 25th, 1919, when
the decision requiring payment Of only
two months premiums went into effect,
upon written application to the Bureau
may have any premiums paid ia excess
OF two applied toward the payment of
future premiums. For example, II after
a policy had Iapsed for six months, a
man reiLstated aud paid six months
premiums instead of two, he may secure
credit for four months premiums.
The provisions for reinstatement do
not protect man until he actually rein.

STOCK LOSSES WERE HEAVY

From gentleman recently returned
from Belle Fourche and the country to
the north and west of that city, says that
stock and sheepmen were heavy losers
during the last spell Of storm and bad
weather. He relates that one man, who
started from Powder river country with
400 head of steers, reached Middle
Greek, the shipping station, with 900
head of wrecks; that sheepmen have
lost in some instances half their hocks,
and others have despaired of saving
single lamb from their hocks. Feed is
short, aud the ground covered with
snow, and cattle are suffering greatly.
He says it will be the heaviest loss to
stockmen and sheepmen ranging in this
section of the country since the memor-
able winter of 1880 81, aud that num-

GOVERN MENT TO
SELL 500 FARMS

Widespread interest is eyinced in the
unique plan of the Government to sell
at public auction 500 farms ia Yuma
Valley, Arizona, on December 10th
The land has been diyided into5, 10 and
2O-acre units, and not more than 40
acres will be sold to an individual.
Owing to the fact that this Govern
ment land occupies region practically
free from frost, citrus fruit growers of
Florida and California are greatly inter-
ested.
The successful bidder at this sale will
find a home in a climate haying the
smallest rainfall, the lowest relative
humidity, and greatest percentage OF
sunshine occurring in any of the citrus
districts Of the country. This combina-
ton is particularly favorable to the pro
ducts peculiar to the mesa lands.
The sale will be in charge of the u s.
Reclamation Service, Washington, d.
c., aud pamphlet fully describing
NiiN'N iu'lbo ahN AilS ACi iLS anu CDuul-
tious of sale will be furnished home
seekers upon request to the Statistican
OF this Bureau.
In addition to several unsurpassed
varieties Of oranges, grapefruit and
lemons these lands are especially well
adapted to the culture of numerous
nI hpr fruits suah 10 Iatao oI;yao ,,roaaa
and figs. The Deglet Moor and kindred
varieties of dates can be grown to great
advantage here; olives of superior quail
ity, grapes of European and other varie-
ties and excellent raisins, figs of sweet,
delicate flavor, which can be produced
only in dry, warm climate, are safe
and profitable on the mesa lands, as are
also trnck crops, among which special
mention must be given TO cantaloupes,
tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The truck
crops and grapes may be interplanted
between the rows of citrus trees in young
orchards. The early growing season
and good railroad facilities give this sec
ton market advantages superior to other
parts Of the country. Domestic water
from wells is of good quality.
The minimum bid acceptable for these
lands incluling water right is 1926 per
acre, of hch 10 per cent must accom-
pany the bid and will be returned if the
bid is rejected 10 per cent must be paid
within 80 days after acceptance of bid,
and the balance in three equal annual
nstallments, making n total of three
years and 90 days time in which TO
make complete payment. There are no
restrictions as to the residence OF pur
chasers.

Local disciples of Ira Hicks, aver that
the sudden warm spell that has come
over the Hills is the immediate result of
several planets, names unknown, who
have for some time past been lowering
between the sun and the earth, and
thereby absorbing the rays of the for
mer, removing themselves to parts more
distant. Whether the aforesaid planets
had this affect on the earth is a matter
of some speculation, but upon reliable
authority such is stated to be the case.
The fact that they have removed them
selves, so that the sun may do its full
duty, is eo' news to the people of this
section as elsewhere.
